I see The Forum’s Master, Hansen, is of the opinion that the lines are sharp this Week. While all of us would concur with that, I feel the underlying problem is the inconsistency of several Teams that are playing each other this Sunday. Upon first look at the Oakland, Green Bay, NY Giants, Kansas, Baltimore and Tampa games, it’s almost impossible to know which Teams will turn up. So trying to put a sensible argument for somebody appears to come with a wing and a prayer.

Of the other games, backing The Eagles or going against Miami is only really viable if you have been doing so on a regular basis up to now. Sooner or later Indy will put in a bad game and giving 9 is asking for trouble. I must admit that if I were up money on the season, Arizona and New England would be plays. The Jets are over-rated and Arizona is going to be a shoot-out Team very shortly. As they are both late games, I will see how things pan out. So, leaving a Vikings -Titans game to others for analysis, leaves me with,

San Diego @ Carolina
<o></o>
Its no secret Carolina has not had the success they expected this year. I was lucky last year to win a few games on them when they were vulnerable and the truth is, they had a fortunate season where injuries stayed away at the right times. Fast forward to this year and there are no surprises in their Team. Losing Smith has taken away the long bomb threat (please don’t mention Muhuuuudddd) The O-Line is struggling and Davis, Foster and Smart are all injured, leaving full-backs to do the job. Carolina has always covered its Offensive woes with stellar Defense but this year opposing Teams are doing their homework and with the absence of Jenkins on the D-Line, things are not looking rosy. It’s only a matter of time before Dan Morgan gets injured and then it will be open season on the Panthers.

I am still not convinced of the Chargers newfound success but they are playing the basics well. With the O-Line over-achieving, what seems to be a stud at TE and a guaranteed running game, this Offense is not easy to stop. Schott didn’t need anyone to tell him, if he could slow down the opposing running game, they will be bang there. Like any QB in this league, when they get more than one safety valve, Brees is feeling comfortable with LT and Gates as get outs. He is now getting the confidence in this to look for his deep passes first, something Delhomme is now lacking.

I think San Diego will win this game and I will have some of the M/L but my main bet will be action points, San Diego Rushing yards over Carolina –30.

I have not bothered with my YTD 3-7 as I feel it is not conducive to the way I bet. This happened last year when my posted plays went 6-0-1 but on them games I actually lost money because of action points, Etc. Win or lose, I hope my posts come across as an insight into what I am trying to do and are helpful in some way to others.

I have one more play that I will post later; my one finger typing is very slow. My Wife types 110 words a minute and is always asking me if I want her to type my messages. :scared:
