Guaranteed winner this weekend-NFL

[BWebb]

For a elimation pool, need a guaranteed winner this weekend. This is not a typical survivor, the same team can be picked more than once during the year. Right now I'm leaning towards Cincy at home against the Texans, but for some reason I am unsure. Who would you pick?

[kyro]

Isn't Indy playing Tennessee? I don't think this is the week the Colts choke. Wait til they play the Pats, as usual.

Why don't you find the biggest home favorite and bet it?.

That is basically what I did, as Cincy was a 10 point favorite when I last looked. Just wondering if they are the best bet to win straight up this week.

Even if the linesmakers are off on the line, they aren't off by that much. I am not saying I would lay 10 points or take 10 points (of course, I wouldn't ever lay 10 points in the NFL), but you just need to win straight up. And yeah, upsets happen, but this should be the least likely upset.

Like Tampa Bay at home, not sold on Cinci D yet.

Picking off ten passes in two weeks isn't enough?

FYP.

And yeah, take the Bengals.

[yoadrians]

I'd take the PACKERS as a sure bet ... on the road ... at a hungry Carolina Panthers team ... on Monday night.

On second thought, better stick with the Colts or Bengals /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yes, Indy comes to TN this week. I will be there rooting for my Titans, but I expect us to get creamed. This will be the week Peyton gets the offense going.

No it's not enough until they play a half decent offense. Cleveland,Minnesota, and Chicago, uhhhhhh no.

Huh! I could've sworn Trent Dilfer had a 95.1 QB rating, and Daunta Culpepper ripped apart the Saints last week!

And apparently the Tampa O is good even though they haven't played a half decent defense yet.

that'd be a valid argument if the bengals were playing anyone but the houston texans. their offense won't scare many people this year.

You can't bet on Boller. I don't think we win this weekend, bu tthe Ravens D looked bad the first two weeks and their offense looked worse. There are better bets than the Ravens.

I was thinking of taking Balt because Bollinger is going to get eaten alive. But, Balt O is just as bad, which means the game can be close. Then, anything can happen.
