NFL Week 4

3-3 after a 1-2 week; luckily, my rare totals play covered the number. after getting verbally spanked by lav last week for playing road favs, i'm going to mix it up a bit ;) [note: thanks, lav!]

at the time of the play, bodog had the best lines on both games...

7 pt tease: SAN DIEGO +13, SAN FRANCISCO +10

first, i gotta think that both teams have a shot to win their games SU, so i nearly played them both at their normal lines. however, i'm gonna keep it light early on. now, i've learned my lesson betting against new england over the past four years, but i'll make an exception here with the big number. luckily, they pulled out a nice road win against the steelers, so they opened with a nice number this week. however, not only did they lose matt light and rodney harrison, but they also will be without kevin faulk. now, kevin faulk isn't a big-game name, but ask tom brady if he'll miss faulk blocking for him when he drops back to pass... i like the big number, and with a TD pad via the tease, SD is a solid play. as for san fran, i can't honestly admit that i like betting on them, but i can honestly say that i won't hesitate to bet against arizona. AZ will meet SF in mexico city, and without kurt warner, AZ turns to cade mcknown -- i mean josh mccown [is he kyle orton's brother-in-law or something?] -- to manage the offense. similar shitty defenses will be at play, but i'll take a big cushion against a shitty team and hope SF keeps it close, or - as i think they will - win this one SU.
