PERSISTENT AND CONSISTENT are the key words.
No I would rather lose a close game than win one

I don't think the Jets Rookie QB will overcome a Raiders Defense. It looks like
all his receivers won't be back and Raiders secondary could make life very
difficult for the Rook. Raiders should be able to run against JETs( - Jenkins)
Raiders 20
Jets 10

Why do you think we need to win the next 6 games to be winning the division? The next 5 after the bye are as follows:
--Miami
--at Indy
--NY Jets
--at New Orleans
--at Miami
If we go 4-1, or even 3-2 we'd most likely still be just fine. I really don't see winning ALL of these 5 games, although we'd certainly make a helluva statement to the rest of the league. Beating 2 unbeaten teams (Indy and New Orleans) in their own stadiums, then beating the NY Jets in the rematch, AND winning both Miami games is a bit much to imagine. It obviously is the most important series in our whole season, I am hoping hard for 4 out of 5.
Indy and New Orleans has looked absolutely incredible, winning one of those + the rematch vs. the Jets, + sweeping a tough Miami team would be asking a lot of this team,IMO. Could be looking at 3-2 down this stretch, although I hope not. Sad thing is that everyone would be freaking around here if we went 3-2 against these very hard teams, I think it'd be an accomplishment.

well, i'd like to think i'm a "fan." and, my bandwidth is pretty wide, thanks. I'm 58--32 so far this season picking against the spread, so i guess i "enjoy all the games" too (the Globe writers' best at this point is 53--37). i just think it's a waste of time at this point in the season to try to speculate on who might or might not be leading or trailing in the division and by how much next Monday. i'll get into it a lot more in another month or so. but to each his/her own.

Thats a pretty good record vs the spread
I am in 2nd place in the Mohegan Sun Pick The Pros Contest at my Local Mohegan Sun Casino - I was in 1st place until last week when I lost 5 games ,I will get them back and be in first again by the end of this weekend - So far only 19 losses in all the games played so far.

yeah, i got lucky out of my mind in week three and I only do it for an office pool with a big $5 bucks a week on the line...but as soon as i started to bet real money, i'd choke or lose...and it's a ***** when you have to pick all the games...some of them are definitely "look but don't touch"...
a coupleof tough calls this week...PANTHERS over Bills but seven points...i'm thinking of flipping a coin...leaning to Panthers now, but how do you see it? BENGALS/Bears with just one point...i'm taking Da Bears...got the Pats, but 14.5 in a windy stadium and unfamiliar setting is a lot of points to cover...sure makes things tense late Sunday afternoon...

As I had stated earlier in this thread,Carolina 17-14 over Buffalo which means the Bills and take the points - I think the Panthers will win but how can you lay 7 points for a team that absolutely STRUGGLED to beat Tampa Bay and not to mention that the Bills has slowly gotten healthier,Delhomme is a funny QB to try to figure out,sometimes Jake looks like the best in the league and other times he is as flat as a pancake.
As far as Cincy and the Bengals I agree with the Bears,I think Cincy will drop another as it seems once they start looking good they go back to thier old ways and I do think Cutler is going to get this Bears offense to a top level by the latter part of the season,Chicago and GB will make Minny work to win that division.
I usually stay away from the Pats when they are a double digit favorite,2 consecutive routs of 14 or more points in a row is not a common thing anymore,Many times the Pats play down to the level of their opponent and score just enough to win but then again TB could be the worst team in the league - I would not touch that line either way.
My best bet this week is Dallas -4 against Atlanta - Dallas is in a must win situation to stay alive in the East and for Wade to keep his job from a pissed off Jerry Jones and it looks as if Ware is getting healthier which will help the non existent pass rush they have,I think the Cowboys will run Barber and Jones wild on the poor Falcons run defense and Romo will hit a couple of good passes.
Good Luck to you in your bets PFS74!!
