Hi Everyone

Can't see any team that looks like they will beat the spread this week, so I'll try and improve my 7-8 record with a couple of totals.


Baltimore - Cleveland over 34.5

Rather a low total considering that the Ravens have allowed 24, 25 and 35 points in 3 of their 4 games this year. THe other game was against the NY Jets when the Jets didn't have a qb. If they allow that average they only have to score about 10 themselves. The Browns are a pretty average team and Baltimore should have an easier time of scoring. Really 2 average teams on offense and defense and since the NFL average points is about 40 I am going with the over.

Seattle - Houston under 46

Houston can't score and can't pass. They have had a little success running the ball so I figure that they are going to run and try and keep the Seattle offense off the field. Seattle are about the number 1 offensive team and have set up their great passing game with the run. So I figure they will run a lot also. The Seattle coach (Holgrem) is a very conseravitive guy and doesn't see much value in thrashing the opposition. If Seattle are ahead, which they should be, I figure the Seahawks will eat up the clock by running and rest their somewhat beat-up receiving corp. One team who are very bad offensively against another team who aren't looking to prove anything by winning by heaps should lead to game that will go under the 46.
