Superstar Andre Johnson was not suspended for fighting with 'Irish punk' Courtland Finnegan this past Sunday, but did pay a hefty $25,000.00 fine.
Because Andre is in the linup, and finally close to healthy again, along with the Texans being a completely Shizzo team to bet on this year, we are preaching discipline and leaning toward no action on Thursday. If you completely feel obligated to throw a few bones down on this game, I got a leaning that the Eagles will cover the -8.5 spread . Philly should win the game and the only risk here is a backdoor cover.
There are better games out there so let's take a look at what looks a little more juicy:
Chicago (-5.5) @ Detriot
Earlier this week we may have felt this was a 'trap' game, but with news of Drew Stanton being the starting QB for the Leos as Shaun Hill is done for the year and Javid Best still pretty banged up, this looks like a pretty good opportunity to take Da Bears without having to lay a full touchdown. Da Bears 27 Lions 13
St Louis (-3.5) @ Arizona
The Rams are 8-3 against the spread this season and QB Sam Bradford is the real deal folks. Bradford has been doing this without many weapons, but Steven Jackson and the defense are playing well for this team. Hard to imagine the Cardinals who looked terrible on Monday night showing much improvement off a short week. Rams are in the hunt for the division title and won't overlook this matchup to get them to 6-6 for the
year. RAMS 24 Cardinals 20
New York Jets @ New England (-3.5)
The Jets have found ways to play to the level of their opponents and just win games. Thinking coach hoodie with 11 days to prepare for this matchup will be ready for this revenge match at home. As Bill Simmons says, the line could move to -4.0 before gametime so if playing the Patriots, like we are, then might be wise to grab now. Jets 20 Patriots 31
Stay tuned tomorrow for money management 101 (part of the disciplined gambling approach) and more great picks for the weekend!
