Week 8 - Morning Recap

Ouch, whatta beating for the easycovers staff!!!! The money laid down panned out and the games with no money laid down panned out with those teams who we thought would win. Well sorry to say fellas, Should-a's don't pay out!!!!!

DEN 7 @ BAL 30: Well the Tenacious D of the Junk-in-da-Bronc stayed in Denver and the Ravens didn't have their high powered passing offense. This was the George Costanza Opposite-Game-of-the-Week. Quoth the Ravens had ball control the whole game getting a solid 135 yards rushing along with a Special Teams touch down to boot. Wacko for Flacco had an efficient 175 yards passing and 109 passer rating. The Junk-in-da-Bronc were all trash today, and not the 6-0 junk they had to start the season, the sort of junk that could make a Sir Mixalot proud. Back to the drawing board with the Broncos, cuz their ATS/SU wave has come in.

CHI 30 @ CLE 6: Cleveland had another great day from their QB's with a 7/20 performance for 74 yards. Derek Anderson had a 10 passer rating. Drew Brees gets a 20 passer rating from just blinking!!!! Matt Forte finally woke up for da Bears with 2 TD's and the Bears Special Teams are still dangerous.

HOU 31 @ BUF 10: Yep, the HOU offense just finds a way. They score 31 points off of no TD's thrown by Shaub, Slaton benched with his fumble and Andre Johnson coughing up more blood for only 63 yards receiving. No-name Moats rushed for 126 yards for the Texans. No-name B-Lo QB Fitzpatrick did nothing for the Bills. Go balance a check book Harvard boy!!!! Great pick J-Dawg!!

SF 14 @ IND 18: Indy had way too many field goals. They should've covered if they could cash in some touch downs!!! But in looking at the silver lining, this may have tilted Vegas away from setting outragious spreads for one more week.

MIA 30 @ NYJ 25: This would've paid out well by taking the Fish +155, but it's a divisional rival game and anything can happen, and anything did happen. Ted Ginn decided to use his only Combine attribute and score 2 kick-off returns to the house. Who woulda thought!?!?!?

STL 17 @ DET 10: The Shams avoided relegation into the new United League with their first win of the year.

SEA 17 @ DAL 38: Dallas is getting into fine form in their new home. And Bill Simmons couldn't have put it better with the fact that Seattle has passed the point of no return with injuries.

NYG 17 @ PHI 40: Eli is hurting more than any of us know. Desean Jackson is for real.
