Money Never Sleeps......

Dream is now 8-1 thanks to his Montreal Canadiens win over the Islanders last night. Not only did he nail the game, he practically had the exact attendance figure as well. In the NFL I have a few picks that are not for anyone with a weak stomach. My first play is the Steelers -1 over the Packers. For the past few weeks all I have heard is how great this Packers defense is. However, this is the same group that got shredded by the Tampa Bay Bucs as well as the Vikings and a few other teams. Despite looking anemic in their last five games, I expect a spirited effort from the Steelers at home in front of their rabid fan base. While alot of prognosticators expect the Steelers to lose out these next few games, I see things differently. This one is about pride. First release .....Steelers -1 over the Packers. Game number two features an intriguing matchup between the Dolphins and the Titans. This game is literally a coin toss and while I would lean towards the home team, I cannot lay the 4.5 points. Miami is one of the most physical, smash mouth teams in the league and for that reason alone I will take the Dolphins with the 4.5 points in this game. In the San Diego-Cincy matchup I "lean" towards the Chargers -7. Both teams have great statistics backing them (Bengals 5-1 as road dog this year) while the Chargers are 4-0 against teams with winning records and 9-2 in their last 11 December games. However, the real wild card is how the Bengals play after the death of one of their teammates, Chris Henry. Factor in a cross country trip and my guess is the Chargers cover the number.
