Similar to the Packers situation, the majority of the bets have gone towards the Broncos yet the line remains unchanged. Seems fishy. Flacco also plays much better at home.<br /><br />Good luck tomorrow buddy!Omie_ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12273427685360790368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855141023802179913.post-25781884934974683082012-12-15T18:34:25.492-05:002012-12-15T18:34:25.492-05:00Thank goodness! A win! A freaking win! Now it'...Thank goodness! A win! A freaking win! Now it's time to take that momentum and keep rolling with it. Sure it was a 1-1-1 week, but at this point I'll take anything other than a goose egg. Let's keep it going and check out this week's “Podium Picks”! <br /><br />Bronze Pick (3-3)<br /><br />Denver Broncos -3 @ Baltimore Ravens <br /><br />If you read last week's “Podium Picks” then you know how I feel about the Baltimore Ravens. If Kirk Cousins can beat your defense in the final minutes of the game and then school you in overtime, then what the hell is Peyton Manning going to do to you? Well Mr. Manning I predict will finally show these Ravens that they are not a top team in the AFC, and tear up this overrated defense (who won’t have Ray Lewis back this week). When you add the fact that the Broncos sport the fourth overall defense in the NFL you get a recipe for a big payday. Sure I realize the Ravens finally fired the inept Cam Cameron from the offensive helms, but that isn't going to make Joe Flacco an elite QB, he will continue to perform at a mediocre level. If the Ravens finally do decide to hand the ball off more to superstar Ray Rice then this game will not get badly out of hand, but I believe Manning will end up being too much to handle for this Ravens D. Put your money on Manning and you won't be disappointed. <br /><br />Silver Pick (2-3-1)<br /><br />Pittsburgh Steelers -2 @ Dallas Cowboys <br /><br />Better coach, better defense, and better quarterback, what is there not to like about this Steelers team matching up against an inferior Dallas squad? Also did I mention that Pittsburgh is fighting for their playoff lives and this game is an absolute must win? Sure Dallas has their back's against the ropes too, but we've seen how they have responded to these types of situations before, they crumble like stale bread. When you put Tony Romo up against the best defense in the league you get one thing, turnovers, and lots of them. The Cowboys will get their chance to win or tie this game towards the end, but due to Romo's shaky nature and Jason Garrett's inability to manage late game situations I see the Steelers holding on to a nice 3 point win and in the end making us some money. Don't look into last week's performance too much since Big Ben wasn't 100% percent healthy, he will show up for this game, believe me. Add the fact Romo’s top weapon Dez Bryant has a fractured index finger, you have a recipe for a Steelers win and cover. <br /><br />Gold Pick (3-2-1)<br /><br />New York Giants +1 @ Atlanta Falcons <br /><br />Hey, Deion Sanders believes in Eli and so should you. This Giants team is just impossible to predict sometimes, but when it comes to the end of the season and playoff time they just win baby. Coming off an impressive win over the Saints in which they FINALLY let David Wilson touch the ball, I believe the Giants have discovered a new weapon they will unleash more upon the Falcons. With Bradshaw ruled out for this game look for Wilson to step up and receive a lot more carries and shred this Falcons D. When you add the fact that the Giants defense is starting to get their mojo back and Hakeem Nicks is slowly getting healthier you start to see why this team has won 2 Superbowls, and will defeat the Falcons come Sunday. My feelings towards the Falcons are similar to that of the Ravens; this team isn't for real. They have a one-dimensional offense (they seriously can't run the ball) and their defense is average at stopping the pass. Look for the Giants to dare the Falcons to run the ball and focus on the pass rush and for Eli to have a good day connecting with Cruz and Nicks early and often. Give me the Superbowl champs fighting for their playoff lives over a team that has nothing to play for any day. <br /><br />That’s it for this week’s addition of the “Podium Picks”; good luck and see you all next week.<br />Sotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07239282856790970954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855141023802179913.post-1402207872147262302012-12-15T15:18:19.899-05:002012-12-15T15:18:19.899-05:00I'm adding a small player prob bet for tomorro...I'm adding a small player prob bet for tomorrow:<br /><br />Who will record the most Passing Yards in the 1PM games?<br />Andrew Luck 15/2<br /><br />The Colts will be playing from behind for most of the game. Luck is 2nd in the NFL in pass attempts. Houston has defended the pass well for the most part this season, but have struggled of late by their standards, allowing 6.9 passing yards per attempt over their past three games. I'm liking the value there!Omie_ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12273427685360790368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855141023802179913.post-68068021142988687052012-12-15T15:14:06.444-05:002012-12-15T15:14:06.444-05:00Appreciate the support Russ!
I have a slight con...Appreciate the support Russ! <br /><br />I have a slight concern on my Packers pick and here's why: About 80% of bets have gone in the Packers favor yet the line has stayed at -3. This raises a red flag for me. I'm standing by my analysis and pick, but I thought I should let you know if you're following the pick :)<br /><br />I don't really see a value in betting for either team. It'll come down to the Chiefs running game vs. the Raiders passing game. Both defenses are terrible. <br /><br />Home field advantage doesn't mean much to the Raiders; they are 1-6 ATS at home. Oakland is also 1-8 ATS in its last 9 games when playing at home against Kansas City. Even though McFadden will likely play tomorrow, I wonder how effective he will be.<br /><br />On the other hand, Brady Quinn is starting for the Chiefs. Enough said.<br /><br />The running game is more predictable than the passing game and Jamal Charles has been on fire of late while Palmer has been average, so if I had to bet this game, I'd go with the Chiefs.<br /><br />Good luck tomorrow pal!Omie_ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12273427685360790368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855141023802179913.post-28495768614555158662012-12-15T14:24:35.808-05:002012-12-15T14:24:35.808-05:00I like your explanations and analysis.
