Alf M's NFL Thread Week #9 [B]405 Chicago -2.5 -115[/B]
Bears with LW OFF and more time to work out the kinks in OC Martz offensive system key here, but the defense will benefit just as much with multiple injuries getting healthy and ready to play.
Buffalo has given it's heart and soul L2 games at Baltimore and O.T. LW vs KC, should be worn out. This game is held North of the border but Toronto fans will not support a losing/winless team = no home field advantage this week. Take the fresh team over the down and out Bills.
[B]426 Philadelphia -2.5 -115[/B]....if you can't buy off -3 get another sportsbook.
Common Sence Handicapping Inc play....Colts coming off Monday Night Football game vs Eagles off a bye week where HC Andy Reid is 11-0 = Advantage Philadelphia. HC Andy Reid vs HC Caldwell = Advantage Eagles....but we all know who the Colts coach is...
Colts RBs Addai and Hart are both out. Eagles get WR D Jackson back in the line-up and QB Michael Vick under center will make the Colts defense much less potent than they showed at home vs Texas on MNF.
[B]429 Pittsburgh -4.5[/B]
HC Mike Tomlin is 5-0 on MNF. Steelers by far the better D, but what we have noticed as the season has progressed, is that QB Carson Palmer is a shell of himself, he cannot throw the hard wideout pass and struggles with the deep ball even with Ocho and Owens, and you need to do that to have a chance vs the Steelers IMO.
more play and analysis later in the week
