    Some terrible defence from the Texans undoing all yesterdays good work, making today go wobbly. Falcons and Texans won't get anything from their games, so looks like I'm gonna have to chase. :pac:

    10 pts - Colts (-3) @ Redskins @ 10/11

    1 pts - Raiders (+7.5) & MIN@DAS over 43.0 @ 13/5

    The Texans are just woeful on D. Think i'll be going big on Colts as well. Just can't see Manning having 2 bad games back to back. Especially against the Redskins. Worst total D in the league and 2nd worst in passing. Some decent odds on anytime TD scorers too. All over evens.

    hey arch what do you think of this pp special?

    Minnesota Vikings to win and Percy Harvin to score a TD 11/2

    Think they're very good odds. Randy Mosses arrival will open up lots of space for Harvin, and you'd imagine if the Vikings do get the win, Harvin would probably have something to do with it. My only concern would be Brett Favre's condition, he's barely hanging in there. Myself, I'd throw a tenner on it at most, or whatever you wouldn't feel too upset at losing!

    No pressure on me then! :o

    Well I won't let you go on it alone, I'll throw a tenner on Harvin for a TD for the craic to go in with ya! ;) Although I don't have PP so I'll just stick him in a double with Michael Bush.

    Turns out my bet on the Texans was actually -4.0 which means I got my stake returned. Not very fair to those who followed my tip though, so it's probably best I leave it as a loss in here. Don't think I'll be doing this by pen and paper again :mad:

    As for the Colts, no real reason beyond Peyton Manning!

    One half of your bet in. Have no faith in the Vikes this season though. Think you'll need every bit of any luck that's going around.

    Ah I didn't go with the Vikes anyway, I'm not on Paddy Power so didn't have that special available to me! Although as much as I'd like to see Headshot win his bet, I've had a bet with a lad on the AF forum since preseason that the Vikes would lose more games than they'd win from their opening 7, so a Cowboys win tonight would leave the Vikes at 1-4 :)

    God damn Colts. I get my stake returned but Im not happy about it. So many stupid errors - 4 turnovers and 2 missed field goals.

    Gonna need to pull something out of the bag tomorrow to make it a worthwhile week. Sitting on a paltry 0.87% profit at the moment lol.

    Profit is profit man, I wouldn't be going he'll for leather just because it's a little on the low side. Easier said than done though, trust me, I know!

    2 pts - Nate Washington Anytime TD @ 13/8

    2 pts - Kenny Britt Anytime TD @ 7/4

    There hasn't been a game this season where one of these guys hasn't got a TD, and they have 6 between them. Only one team have given up more TDs than the Jags, and they're also statistically the 4th worst pass defence in the league for yards per game (if you're a yards per attempt man, the Jags D ranks last against the pass). Add to that the emphesis the Jags will put on stopping Chris Johnson, and there's a good chance both of these guys will grab a TD, but even if only one does, that'll be a small profit.

    I went with just Washington anytime TD. Was a coin flip for me really. Hopefully this is a shootout as i'm on the overs as well and Nate can in the end zone too on one of the plays.

    I bloody love when your bet gets out of the way nice and early. Have the whole game now to hope Nate Washington picks something up. Vince Young has already targeted him once which is encouraging.
