NFL Sunday
I really like a few games on Sunday. The lines seem way too high in a few games so these are the only ones I will play.

403 Kansas City Chiefs +6½ -110
404 Jacksonville Jaguars -6½ -110
I know this a bad game to start out my blog with but this is one where the line seems almost playable but I can understand why someone would not want to play this game. Two crappy teams face off with no place to go. I gave up trying to figure out the Jags. Kansas City, what’s there to figure out? So let me take a stab at this game, but I would really recommend that you don’t play it. The Jags are overrated, they couldn’t keep Tennessee last week out of their backfield, and are terrible defensively. The Chiefs rank 30th
on offense, and 30th on defense. The bottom line Maurice Jones-Drew is the
difference maker and will smash KC’s terrible defensive front seven. This will give Gerrard time to set up in the pocket when it comes to play action. KC’s secondary is awful, and their defense can’t tackle well after the catch. KC is without Larry Johnson and his 2 yards per carry, and you can say he was expendable. So now his replacement Jamaal Charles will have a shot at the Jag’s 24th ranked rush defense. The Jag’s lack a pass rush only 5 sacks on the year, and they allowed their opponents to sack their QB 19 times. The Jag’s always struggle when Vegas makes them favorites of 6.5 points or more. Lastly, the Jag’s have played terrible their last 3 games. Recall, lost to Seattle 41-0, failed to cover ATS vs. STL at home, and lost last week to the winless Titans who by the way allowed 200 yards rushing. If anything, take the points and run. Or better yet, just run. I would take the points.

405 Baltimore Ravens -3 Ev -140
406 Cincinnati Bengals +3 -120 +120
The Ravens showed up last week, and discovered a resurgence in their defense, to defeat the undefeated Broncos. This was an important sign going into this week’s game. We are only in week #9, but a Raven loss in this spot may cost them a playoff berth. This is a divisional game and the Bengals are 5-2, Baltimore 4-3. If Baltimore losses and falls to 4-4, and the Bengals go to 6-2, with Pittsburgh at a possible 6-2 (Monday Night),one can see the Raven’s dilemma. Last week OT Gaither returned to the offensive line and made a huge difference. Recall Gaither was out when they lost 17-14 to the Bengals earlier in the season. Now, the Bengal’s best defenseman Antwan Odom their top sack leader is out, and this will slow their pass rush. Without Odom, simply put, QB Flacco will face no pressure in the pocket. Baltimore must establish a running game with Rice, to maintain long sustained drives, manage the clock, and keep the ball out of QB Palmer’s possession. If the Ravens fail to execute this game plan, QB Palmer will rip Baltimore’s poor secondary apart. This game will come down to which team runs the ball the best. Cedric Benson will vs. Baltimore’s 4th ranked rush defense. The ravens on offense have been averaging 28.4 ppg.
Take the Ravens

417 Carolina Panthers +13 -110 +500
418 New Orleans Saints -13 -110 -700
No big write up, I just think Carolina is playing better and this is too many points.
Take Carolina and the points.
