RiG's Picks & Thoughts & Questions

Alright I researched all the teams and posted up my picks.  Ive done more research than it looks like.  I'm just not that good at explaining why I pick who I picked.  

 

If you've ever been interested in sport betting in the slightest you should check out CentSports.  Only difference is its completely legal just like Football Pick'em and Fantasy Football.  You'll get 10 cents to bet with and can cash out when your over $10.  Its all paid for by their ads

 

 

PICKS

 

 1:00 ET At Washington -6.5 Kansas City 37.5

I'm not going to bet on this game but my pick would  Washington -6.5 +0 units

 

 1:00 ET At Cincinnati -5 Houston 45

I think this has the makings of a trap game and don't want to get caught in it.  I'm going to stay away but would take the bengals if need be.


 1:00 ET At Pittsburgh -14 Cleveland 38 +1.5 units

I like pitt here.  Tomlin will prepare them well and they'll easily squash clevland by 14

 

 1:00 ET At Minnesota -3 Baltimore, over 43.5 +0,2 units

I like over 43.5 here; think they both can score over 20

 

1:00 ET At Jacksonville -9.5 St. Louis 42.5 +1.5 units

 

 1:00 ET At New Orleans -3 NY Giants over 47.5 +.5 units

 

 1:00 ET Carolina -3.5 At Tampa Bay under 40 +.5 units

 

 1:00 ET At Green Bay -13.5 Detroit 48.5 +1 unit

Detriot has been very competitive

 

 4:05 ET Philadelphia -14 At Oakland 40.5 +3 units

I think this game will be on the verge of a shut out

 

 4:05 ET At Seattle -3 Arizona 47 +1.5 units

Hassel is back, 3 points should be nothing in this kind of game

 

 4:15 ET At NY Jets -9.5 Buffalo 38 +.5 units

Both of these teams seem to be collapsing, but the Jets are defiantly better. 9 and half better? -you'd better bet.

 

 4:15 ET At New England -9.5 Tennessee 43.5 +2 units

Maybe this week tennesse comes back? NO. NE is mad/ has something to prove. Tenn is used up

 

 8:20 ET At Atlanta -3 Chicago over 46 +.5 units

tough to pick, probably Chicago with the points

 

 8:35 ET At San Diego -4 Denver 44 +2 units

I'd say under too, but denver may score too much :)  We show em who's boss of the AFC (west)

 

 

Alright next week Ill add up how I did to see how much money you'd woulda won had you believed me

Star-divide

THOUGHTS

 

Who do we draft?

Well if last year was any indication it could be anything.  BPA type of thing.  And judging from what we have it seems to have worked out pretty well.

positions to increase depth: basically the whole team except TE and possibly QB.

ideal positions to draft to become starters someday:  OC, OG, NT, DE, SAF

but what position do you think we would most likley go for in the first round? I'd have to say Dline unless we have to draft an heir to a free agent loss.  Which reminds we have a few guys with expiring contracts heading into next season.

Notably: Orton, Hamilton, Kuper, Dumervil, Marshall, Scheffler

That seems like a lot of money, if we have it to spend on contracts.  I remember last year I think we had 30+ million free but we spent a lot of that so I dont know.  Any one know? If we have to lose any of them i hope its Hamilton, I don't want to lose Kuper hed probably be one of the last I let go considering hes not going to be 10+ million a year.

but it seems to me we don't have many superstar contracts right now, except Baily.  So I'm hopin we have enough dough.  And Baily's contract is near its end, so a new back loaded contract may fit like a puzzle piece.

Too much to think about in the middle of the season. GO BRONCOS!! 16-3!

A taller CB to eventually take Bailey's position.

Maybe a guard or center. I’m hoping Chris Baker will be our NT for the future. Other than that, I don’t know.

An ILB to eventually replace Davis?

A return man?

I could see that

unless Larsens the man

anyway I couldn’t imagine spending a first on an ILB we’d tie up too much on ILBs

We're going to be spending that money on someone.

In my mind it doesn’t matter how much we’re paying the other LB’s. Just that we might have a need. If we don’t go ILB, I hope it’s because there’s a better player available at some position of need.

i don't think we have that big of a need at ILB currently

and usually they dont take as long to develop so we could draft a 1st rounder one when were looking for a new starter.
Right now I’m fine with DJ and Woodyard. Davis o running plays

And I was talking hypothetically assuming all positions would be available with equal talent.

But true, we have to spend the money somewhere. ILB might be it. im going to guess Dline

Do you think Davis is gone after this year?

Nah. I think Davis has a bit left in the tank

I kinda thought he was a little older than he is (he’s 31), but he IS getting up there in age, and Larsen is the only guy we have that could replace him.
Maybe Larsen will prove to be a legitimate successor when he returns, but I’m not sold on him yet. I doubt that there will be an ILB who fits our profile worth a first round pick, but if there was, I would definitely consider drafting him. I think we’ll almost certainly spend a pick at the position at some point in the draft.

I don’t think almost any position is completely out of the question, but I would guess that it will come from one of the positions for which we don’t have any young players/prospects. I suggested ILB only because no one else had. Dline is another possibility (Baker, Thomas and McBean are all young, but I’m not blown away by any of them). Center or LG are also possible (I don’t think anyone has been impressed by Olsen). WR might be possible too- we could try to get a deep threat/return man.

I should also add that free agency may completely change things. Any of our guys we fail to retain will leave holes and anyone we bring in may fill holes.

(position wise) incorporating money
