yea like i said, the 3 unit is a biggie for me. it will actually prohibit me from any other early noon action. if you put those players in a lineup talent,size, ability, Tigers crush them. Try and have a public speaking event....BC HANDS DOWN! Possibly they are getting 7 points for a spelling bee contest at half time? Seriously I just dont get the line. I will also investigate. i have some peeps that used to be REAL close to the clemson program. i will see if they add anything? GD LK!

Appreciate it, BW. No question, the talent is seemingly one-sided. I still give the Eagles a better than 50% chance to cover the 9.5. I think the Tigers take it by 7. A lucky bounce here and there and I could also see BC stealing one. GL!

Have the totals moved much in reaction to the regular refs maybe coming back Sunday?  Do you anticipate they may come down?  Or would you lean towards any unders if they do in fact return this week?  Due to the fact of the excessive pass interference that seems to be called with these replacement refs...

Chazz....I don't think there will be an immediate impact to their return. These guys are going to be rusty (perhaps, out of game shape) and will likely be ALMOST as bad as the replacements for the first couple of weeks, IMO.

We will likely raise the bar too high for them and guarantee we'll be bitching about their calls, too. They will now be under intense scrutiny. Like any athletes (not that I am comparing them), the quality of the product seems to slip a little bit after any work stoppage....at least initially.

Good luck, buddy!

For tonight's games, I have played the Under in both and would take the points if held at gunpoint, but as it is....I'll pass on the sides.

Ravens 24 Browns 13 (Actual Score)  Ravens 23 Browns 16

Cardinal 27 Huskies 20 (Actual Score)

Good luck, folks. Slam the man!

Hi Bruno - Good discussion here, thanks!

SF @ NYJ - All things being equal I would normally lean Jets with SF travelling East for the early game (worked against the Raiders nicely last week), but the Jets injuries certainly seem to be pushing this in favour of the visiting team. Good luck with your selection and let's hope they cover!

Damo.....'Niners remained in Ohio this week to avoid the travel. It will work in their favor, IMO. I simply cannot see Harbaugh allowing them to perform at any level short of their best. Good luck!

Just read an interesting article in the Toronto Sun that states that Lance Easley (the official who made that call on MNF) was deemed in July (of this year) not to have been competent enough to officiate at the NCAA Division I level and was rejected for that role. Kind of curious how he finds himself on an NFL field just 2 months later?
