Bulger (and Martz) being out doesn't necc help the Texans. It means they'll work the ground game more, which (1) does worlds better for them anyway and (2) is our weakest of weak links on D. Ask Larry Johnson. Evan
tease it up to 8.5, bet on the Rams to cover, and use those 5 points on another game. Parlay the two and that, my friend, is easy money.
depends on your point of view i guess. like i thought the chicago/carolina game with chi +3.5 at home was no brainer, but everyone i told said that was a terrible bet. sometimes lines are just off...like the lines for Texas for nearly the whole entire season and again this week with a&m. texas is -28 and a&m is just a terrible team with mcneal very questionable. or tonight with the rox/phx game....its a freaking pick em!! maybe the books are begging you to take phx...but why? just play the lines.
Damn. Texans playing like the 1985 Bears. It's 24-3 now. I'll probably lay some money on the Giants this afternoon at +5.
Any real handicapper would have known the Rams were playing Ned and the First Graders as their defensive backfield. I didn't bet the Rams but I did take them in my survivor Pool.
