Bears vs. Lions Week 4 Spread

NFL Week 4 Picks – Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions

Game-day: 10/4/2009
Kick-off: 1:00 pm EST

One thing was obvious about the Detroit Lions last week in their victory over the Washington Redskins. That was that the Lions are a better team than anyone really knows. When rookie QB Matthew Stafford is given time, he can be every bit as effective as the Lions’ thought he would be when they drafted him #1 last April. The Lions’ defense has much better players and much better communication than the team in 2008.

Week 2 Vikings vs. Lions NFL Predictions

NFL Week 2 – Favre and Peterson will Feast on the Lions this Weekend

Minnesota Vikings (1-0) vs. Detroit Lions (0-1)
Sunday, September 20 th
Ford Field, Detroit — 1:00pm EST
NFL Betting Line: Minnesota -10 (46.5)

The Lions are winless in 2009 so far, and that fact will hold true after Week 2 is in the bag. After allowing Drew Brees to throw for six touchdowns, the Lions are inviting Brett Favre to Ford Field to try and do the same. To make matters worse, the Vikings present a much more dynamic attack, boasting the league’s leading MVP candidate, Adrian Peterson.

Detroit Lions vs. New Orleans Saints
Sunday, September 13th — Superdome, New Orleans — 1:00pm EST
NFL Betting Line: New Orleans -13 (49)

Let it be known that Pierre Thomas is now to be referred to as the “PT Cruiser”. When a traffic jam forced me to miss the opening few rounds of a fantasy draft, and I got screwed with Pierre Thomas, it was an awful feeling. It’s the same feeling that the rental car that I got as a loaner after a car accident last year was a PT Cruiser. I wasn’t exited about at all, even though it was a fine car that got me where I wanted to go.

NFL Week 8 Betting Action – Toothless Lions Host Rollin’ Redskins

The Washington Redskins (5-2 SU, 4-3 ATS, 2-5 O/U), beat the Cleveland Browns 14-11 on Sunday but failed to cover the 7-point spread just as I predicted in the BetUS Locker Room last week.

The Skins got another excellent performance from running back Clinton Portis who carried 27 times for 175 yards and one touchdown and a competent, if not outstanding performance from blossoming quarterback Jason Campbell who completed 14 of 23 passes for 164 yards and one touchdown.

The Houston Texans (1-4 SU, 2-3 ATS, 5-0 O/U), were struggling in a big way as well, going winless in the BetUS Sportsbook before scratching out a narrow 29-28 victory over the Miami Dolphins at home on Sunday.
