OLG Pro-Line NFL Week 7

Ok getting my picks in today. Some interesting matchups so let's get to it.
Let's make some money!

Point Spread

JAC @ KC (-9.5) KC WIN
I know given the Chiefs somewhat lackluster play this year 9.5 is a lot of points to lay on them but I think it's definitely doable. I'm betting that Edwards will get the start and will not be able to mount any kind of passing game. That means it comes down to Jones-Drew. The flipside is that if Garrard starts the Jags put together a competitive game given their embarrassing effort last week.

WAS @ CHI (-2.5) CHI LOSS
Both teams are struggling but which is worse? Washington is getting used to the McNabb Philadelphia fans put up with but surprisingly the running game has been keeping the Redskins in a lot of games. Chicago is struggling to protect their quarterback. In the end I think Cutler just makes more plays than McNabb and pulls a win out for 'DA BEARS!

PIT (-3.5) @ MIA PIT LOSS
Pittsburgh looks stronger than ever. Hopefully the drama with Harrison doesn't disrupt the locker room. The Steelers will play tough grind 'em out football and at the end of 60 minutes win by 10.

CIN @ ATL (-4.5) CIN LOSS
Dammit, I am not giving up on this team. Coming off a bye week and two close losses I'm praying Palmer has had a good week of practice. Keep it close guys.

STL @ TB (-2.5) STL WIN
Fine, I've become a believer. St. Louis make me proud (and some money).

BUF @ BAL (-14.5) BAL LOSS
Two things: 1 this is going to get ugly and 2 someone is going to get hurt. I think the Ravens score 30 point here and Buffalo gets 13.

NE (-0.5) @ SD NE WIN
This is simply a QB pick. I believe Brady will find a way to win this game. San Diego has been inconsistent to say the least.

MIN @ GB (-2.5) MIN LOSS
Green Bay just has too many injuries. Rodgers cannot carry this team alone when Minnesota has a few more weapons. Peterson might rack up 200 yards.

Monday Night Football
NYG @ DAL (-3) NYG WIN
Dallas needs to win this game, desperately but the Giants are beginning to get the train rolling. Running game looks solid, Manning is making better decisions, the defense is playing well. For Dallas Romo is still Romo, Austin has disappeared, running game has gone AWOL, Jerry Jones is not freaking out. I'm going to be the over for interceptions and fumbles.

OLG Pro-Line NFL Week 6 results

Arg. Didn't have enough time to breakdown the matchups. Oh well hope you all did well this weekend. Let's talk a bit about the surprises.

Kansas City @ Houston - well Schaub pulled out another win late in the game. Certainly not a game in which defense played a major part. If only KC could get someone to step up and make a play they could have won this one.

New Orleans @ Tampa Bay - now this is looking a little more like the champs. Things seem to be clicking a bit more but TB didn't really offer up a real challenge.

Cleveland @ Pittsburgh - the return of Big Ben was the story. He fit into the offense without being a major disruption. The Steelers gotta look like Superbowl favorites.

Atlanta @ Philadelphia - Kolb trying to hang on to his job as the starter performed well.

Detroit @ New York Giants - one late interception foiled a comeback attempt by Detroit. Still a dangerous team despite being 1-5.

San Diego @ St. Louis - wha? Big inconsistency problems in SD. One week they are scoring 40 points the next they are losing to a rookie QB. St. Louis doing with their top 2 receivers out to injury. Unbelievable.

Seattle @ Chicago - better than expected is all I can say about Seattle. Aging QB can still put together a win over a Chicago defense that looked a little ordinary.

Monday Nighter
Tennessee (-4.5) @ Jacksonville - seems like a snoozer. The spread looks doable for the Titans. I'm expecting a close game early on with turnovers keeping things exciting but Johnson to take things over late.

Change? I don't like change

With the introduction of patch 4.01 a whole lot of change is happening. All in preparation for Cataclysm it seems like class abilities and talent points have been turned upside down.

31 point talent trees? WTF. Simplifying the talent tiers makes sense. Introducing a bunch of new talents just makes for a complicated calculating system which would ultimately lead to lag. Which is another reason why I don't like change, downtime. If you've been following the forums, there are a number of bugs still present and being worked on.

Reforging looks interesting. Customizing equipment that would normally be vendored can be tailored to meet your class needs. Go ahead, get rid of that useless spirit stat in favor of something else, anything.

Mastery is another intriguing feature. Who know exactly how it will work and how quickly things will become unbalanced.

Also for Deathknights, blood as a dedicated tanking tree? Hrm. I enjoyed my time as a frost tanking dk but it looks like that tree has been turned into a dual wielding dps selection. Still I did briefly consider returning to the addiction but, nope. Nothing has changed my mind thus far. (still keeping tabs on Azeroth)

Video game crazie

Ok, so I'm a little attached to my gaming stuff. Xbox, quad core pc, Nintendo DSI, and the like but thankfully I'm not this crazy. There are so many things wrong with this situation I don't know where to begin.

The story goes the girlfriends takes his PS3 to work to try and motivate him to do something, other than sit on the couch and play video games all day. He in turn flies into a rage, chases her down in her Porche (hmm, yes, indeed. It's nice to be a kept man), cuts her off, gets back the said PS3 and returns home. She continues to work and calls the cops. I guess you could say that she had enough. Cops arrest the dumbass who didn't "think it was a big deal". Hmm.

42 and unemployed. While I know the economy is tough, you can't give up. Part time employment is not beneath you. Some income is better than no income. If you show your girlfriend that you are still "trying" then she probably will continue to put up with you.

Video games all day? You know there is this thing called the "Internet"? It has teh pornz and stuff. Way more interesting than Final Fantasy. Or perhaps you might even do a bit of reading under the employment section. I think if I became a loser like this I might just give up on life altogether. I really hope nobody could become this deranged that they would resort to these kinds of tactics over a gaming console.

Point Spread picks

Visitor Home Pick

JAC (-3) @ BUF JAC WIN
Buffalo is a disaster, plain and simple.

TB @ CIN (-6.5) CIN LOSE
Still banking on Cincy to show up.

GB (-3.5) @ WAS GB LOSE
No Portis = no running game.

DEN @ BAL (-7.5) DEN LOSE
Baltimore should not be favored by this much.

ATL (-4.5) @ CLE ATL WIN
Wallace was good last week, this week he will suck it up.

TEN @ DAL (-6.5) TEN WIN
Dallas should be rested, Miles Austin should have a better game but I don't think this will be a blow out.

SD (-7) @ OAK SD LOSE
San Diego is going to turn this one into a laugher.

MIN @ NYJ (-4.5) MIN LOSS
New receiver, some guy named Randy Moss, should make this a close one. But I still think the Jets will win by a field goal.
