I have just missed on a couple of weeks allowing that EVIL gator to close ranks, its time to squirm (its what worms do best) and slither back a step ahead of my scaly foe, lets jump into week 10 gator and count those freaking wormy type beans....
Don't look now Bait, but I am now officially butter, cause I'm on a roll. I have cut the weekly lead to 5-4. I can actually tie it up this week. Unfortunately for me I still am double digit picks away from you. I beat you 6-5 in the differences last week to make the differences 40-29-2 in Bait's favor. I went 7-7 on the week and you went 6-8. Overall I am now 50-77-2 and Bait is 61-66-2. We have 5 differences. Good luck Bait!
Week 10
vs.
Spread: Panthers -4
Gator Says: Atlanta's got some work cut out for them if they still want that #1 pick or even if they want a Top 5 pick. Carolina is quietly at 4-4 and only a half game out of the division lead. Panthers cover. Bait Says: Two teams, a hundred starting QB's combined amongst em'....and not a prayer in the world, look for a close one, but the Panthers should have a slight edge playing at home. Panthers Cover
vs.
Spread: Packers -6 Gator Says: I think Adrian Peterson is still running all over the Chargers right now. Packers tend to play a lot of close games. Vikes beat the spread Bait Says: For two straight weeks I have picked against the Packers, and with what I thought was legit reasoning too. This week I break my gut instinct and hope to right my Packer Feng Shuay, Packers to cover.
vs.
Spread: Saints -11 Gator Says: Rams have had a week to rest. Will it really matter? Rams beat the spread, but still lose by 10
Bait Says: It will Steven Jackson matter, or is that Michael Jackson matter, just beat it, just beat it ow! Rams beat the spread....and maybe even win, but lets not get too crazy, not just yet.
vs.
Spread: Bills -2.5 Gator Says: The Fish are coming back from London and a bye week. Will it really matter? Bills cover
Bait Says: Bills fans I want to say this nice and loud so you can be sure to hear that I did indeed say it. "THE BILLS WILL WIN THIS ONE"
vs.
Spread: Redskins -2.5
Gator Says: Eagles have owned the Skins in the past, but the Skins finally won one in Philly. Skins have struggled against bad teams and while the Eagles aren't a bad team, they aren't a good team either. Skins by 1, Eagles beat the spread
Bait Says: A division battle royale, looks like the NFC East is the game of the week central this week, I like the edgy Eagles in this one. But I don't think they can beat the spread take the Skins
vs.
Spread: Steelers -9.5 Gator Says: I know it's Cleveland and most people don't think they can keep up this streak, but come on a 5-3 team should never be a 9.5 point underdog unless they are playing the Pats or Colts. Browns beat the spread Bait Says: I don't doubt the Steelers, no matter how much BBC wants me to, the Browns are on the rise, but the Steelers, with breath held to cover.
vs.
Spread: Titans -4 Gator Says: Jags tend to struggle against division foes and without Marcus Stroud it will be even more difficult to contain Vince Young. Titans cover
Bait Says: A game the Jags cant afford to lose, a game the Titans can't afford to lose. Go Titans here they are suffering from way fewer distractions at this point.
vs.
Spread: Chiefs -3 Gator Says: Priest Holmes's season debut at starting against a terrible run defense in Denver. How bad has Denver been lately? You gotta think they will eventually turn it around don't you? Broncos beat the spread Bait Says: The Broncos are overdue a Priest can't even help the Chiefs at this point, so take the Broncos for the win.
vs.
Spread: Ravens -4 Gator Says: 2 of the most disappointing teams this year. Good defense and below avg offense beats good offense and terrible defense. Ravens cover
Bait Says: Little offense, vs wounded offense, little defense, vs good defense, outcome about a TD difference pick the Ravens.
vs.
Spread: Cardinals -1.5 Gator Says: I'm surprised Cardinals are favored in this game over a 6-2 team. Lions beat the spread Bait Says: You got to be kidding me, if the Lions want to be legit they win this one going away....or they might as well mail in the 8-8 voucher that a loss would make them deserving of....Lions to beat the spread
vs.
Spread: Bears -3.5 Gator Says: Bears are coming off of a bye week and you got to think they will eventually start playing a little better. Bears beat the spread.
Bait Says: Finally someone the Bears should be able to compete with, take the Bears, right after hibernation, to be hungry for victory.
vs.
Spread: Cowboys -1.5
Gator Says: Giants are pretenders. Cowboys beat the spread
Bait Says: I disagree gator, I don't think the Giants are pretenders. I will say they are a little more banged up than the Cowboys, and T.O. is having a great season, but just because you just disrespected the Giants fans everywhere I will take the Giants to cover.
vs.
Spread: Colts -3.5 Gator Says: Both teams lost last week and have something to prove. I'll go with the upset here, since I know Bait is going with the Colts, I'll take the Chargers to beat the spread
Bait Says: Both teams lost, and the Chargers are usually the undoing of the Colts, the Colts have 10 starters in various stages of injury, they are in San Diego and the Chargers were embarassed last week. This is a prime instance of all the fruit lining up against you in the slot machine of life, take the Chargers to win outright, the points will just make it easier for them.
vs.
Spread: Seahawks -10 Gator Says: Neither team is very good, but the Seahawks are 10 points better than the reeling Niners. Seahawks cover.
Bait Says: Bingo, neither team is that good right now for reasons mostly relating to injury, I just don't see one being 10 points better than the other take the Niners to lose by less than 10
Getting the Bye: Gator Says: Making gamefarm happy by starting Sage. Bait Says: Are you going to scarborough fair? Gator Says: Cutting off sleeves of Patriot sweaters for Belichick.
Bait Says: Calling the cable company complaining that the audio on their TV is artifically enhanced Gator Says: Trusting Kellen Clemens. Bait Says: Watching the Giants to see what Football in NY must be like. Gator Says: Trusting Jeff Garcia. Bait Says: 25 QB's and not a RB amongst em'.
