U-G-L-Y Week 9 !!

[SpaciousK]

Back to the drawing board. With a 15-20 YTD, it's tough not to hang it up altogether in NFL.
But, due to a relatively large ego, and a gluttonous craving for punishment, I'll still play my favorite each week, and try to get the capping in gear for the stretch run.
I've had some success capping O/U's recently, so I'll probably sprinkle a few in.
Case in point...

Oakland @ Detroit Under 39

O.K. What exactly do we have here? Let's see.
A Raiders team averaging only 14.5 per game on the road, with their backup QB, a questionable running game, and a depleted offensive line, in which four of their top six players are questionable. Throw in 10 penalties a game. Now that's U-G-L-Y!
A Detroit team that's averaged just 12 points their last two, missing their best receiver, playing behind a QB with almost zero confidence, and (Tada!), no running game either.
Both teams are in disarray. The Raiders, who by all rights should win this game, play to their competition as much as any other team around.
I've got a feeling this won't be pretty. Thirty combined would surprise me.
If this is the only game you get, watch Sanford and Son reruns instead.

Good luck,
Space.

Careful here guys.

Bly's gonna sit. It seems like Detroit has 12 injured DB's. I still think Tui's being overhyped this week, but Dre is the Lions glue in the defensive backfield.

I guess we'll see.

Great call there Space. Wish i saw ur recomendation earlier. As you've seen (or maybe not seen) I ended up backing outta the Raiders -2.5 prior to kickoff.

Eitherway...nice job and I'll see ya later this week.
