September 25, 2008
Brought to you by BetUs.com
CP's back with avengence this week, watch out Vegas I'm coming to get you with my free NFL picks for week 4. Were gonna hit you hard this week, Another 2-2 outing last week, I wont settle for nothing less the a 3-1 record this week.
Here are my week 4 free NFL picks.
Cleveland Browns @ Cincinnati Bengals (-3.5, O/U 44.5)
Pick: Cleveland Browns (+3.5)– In the battle of Ohio, both teams are looking for their first wins of the season. Cincinnati looked pretty good last week against the Giants taking them to overtime but eventually losing by a field goal. While Cleveland could not muster any offense against a strong Ravens D ultimately losing 28-10. Quarterback Derek Anderson will be playing for his job because if he underachieves this week, look for Brady Quinn to step in next week. I think Anderson will step up and perform well, using his weapons of Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow to put up large points on a weak Cincy D.
NFL Free Picks: Week 3

A bit of a tough week going 1-3, but I will look to rebound this time out, here’s a look at my free Football picks for week 3. Remember sports gambling is a grind, like anything else in life, we had a bad outing but will pull through in week 3 and make some money.
Cincinnati Bengals @ New York Giants (-13.5, O/U 41.5)
Pick: New York Giants (-13.5) - Cincinnati just might be the worst team in the league, with possibly the crappiest defence. They have some play makers on offense like Carson Palmer, T.J. Houshmanzadeh and Chad Ocho Cinco, but these players have underachieved big time this year. A lot of the blame for the Bengals offensive deficiencies can be placed on the broad shoulders of their terrible O-line. The Giants on the other hand are looking like a team that could easily repeat as Super Bowl champs. Like last week, look for Brandon Jacobs to run wild against a team that can’t stop the run, or the pass or anything really.
Kansas City Chiefs @ Atlanta Falcons (-6, O/U 36.5)
Pick: Atlanta Falcons (-6)- In a battle between two weak teams, I’m going to take the Falcons. The Chiefs were embarrassed at home last week by the lowly Raiders, with rookie Darren McFadden running all over them, I expect Michael Turner to have similar success against KC’s weak defense. Tyler Thigpen will make his first career start for the Chiefs, so I am taking the Falcons who will start Matt Ryan who will be making his third career start.
Dallas Cowboys (-3, O/U 51.5) @ Green Bay Packers
Pick: Dallas Cowboys (-3) - This line seemed a little low to me considering Dallas is clearly the best team in the NFL right now, topping every Power Ranking across the continent. Although Green Bay is also playing well, their wins have come against an average Vikings team, and a well below average Lions squad. Dallas is coming off a short week, playing last Monday night in one of the best games in a long time, but I don’t think that will affect their performance. I look for another high scoring, back and forth game with the Cowboys coming out on top by a touchdown.
New York Jets @ San Diego Chargers (-9, O/U 44)
Pick: New York Jets (+9) - The Chargers were robbed of a win last week, when referee Ed Hochuli botched a fumble call late in the game, it was one of the worst calls you will ever see. The Chargers will be fired up at home on Monday night and I expect them to win, but not by double digits. Expect Ladainian Tomlinson to play, as he has never missed a regular season game due to injury, but he is definitely not at 100 percent. The Jets have not looked all that good so far this season, but I still believe they are decent and good enough to keep this game close. This will be Brett Favre’s first prime-time game as a Jet, many people still think that MNF stands for Monday Night Favre and he could have a big game.
Be sure to check back next week with my free football picks for week 4. We love taking money from the sports books I hope you do to..

Week 3 Fantasy Football Waiver Wonders
September 17, 2008
These fantasy football players had big games in week 2 and should be available on the waiver wire in most fantasy football leagues. Make sure to check back with Total Pro Sports each week to get the latest info on out fantasy football waiver wire wonders.
John Carlson, TE, Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks have been hit by the injury bug hard this year and are missing too many receivers to name. Rookie John Carlson has been one of the few bright spots on team that has stumbled early in the year. He has accumulated a total of 10 passes for 130 and looks to be a favorite target of QB Matt Hasselbeck.
Bryant Johnson WR, San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers have an easy match-up this week against the Lions, so their offense should be able to put up some points. Johnson is coming off a big week where he had 78 yards and a touchdown. If he is still available and you need at receiver he could fill in nicely this week.
Michael Bush, RB, Oakland Raiders,
The forgotten man in Oakland’s backfield had a huge game last week rushing for 90 yards and 1 touchdown. The fact that Justin Fargas and Darren McFadden are nursing injuries is good news for Bush. The Raiders will face off against Buffalo this week so don’t expect him to have a monster game. He is worth adding for depth or as a handcuff.
Fred Jackson, RB, Buffalo Bills,
Jackson had 6 carries for only 17 yards in week three, but he did have 7 receptions for 83 yards. He is a solid handcuff in you own Marshawn Lynch and could also have some value in PPR leagues. Jackson could be in for another productive game against the Raiders in week 3.�
Fantasy Football Players Of Week 2
September 16, 2008
It was a crazy week in the NFL especially in the fantasy football world. There were some crazy outcomes that some would have never expected.
Here are the top fantasy football players of week 2, who put up the biggest numbers during the second Sunday of the NFL season.
Best Offensive Player- Jay Cutler, QB, Denver Broncos,
Despite almost blowing the game by throwing a late interception and then by fumbling the ball, (yes it was a fumble as referee Ed Hoculi finally admitted) Cutler had a monster game. He threw for 350 yards and 4 touchdowns and he also did his best John Elway impression as he hit Eddie Royal for a two point conversion to win the game.
Honorable mention: Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers.
Best Offensive Rookie-Darren McFadden, RB, Oakland Raiders,
McFadden gouged the Chiefs for 169 yards on 21 carries and 1 touchdown. The coaches in Oakland should keep giving this guy the ball as much as possible because he is a home run hitter. This year’s crop of young running backs seems to best to come along in quite some time as they have been putting up big numbers thus far.
Honorable mention: Chris Johnson, RB, Tennessee Titans.
Best Defensive Player- Justin Tuck, DE, New York Giants,
When Osi Unmenyiora went down for the season many people assumed the Giants Defense would be missing the mighty pass rush they had last season. Enter Justin Tuck, this guy is a monster who eats quarterbacks for dinner. In week two he had two sacks and also a 41 yard interception return for a touchdown. He is making an early case for defensive player of the year.
Honorable mention: Charles Woodson, DB, Green Bay Packers.
Best Defensive Rookie- Chris Horton, DB, Washington Redskins,
Another slow week by many high profile rookies, with the exception of Chris Long who got his first sack, means guys like Chris Horton from UCLA are stealing the spotlight. Helping the Redskins to their first win of the season Horton had 2 interceptions and 2 tackles against Drew Brees and New Orleans’ highly touted offense. Not bad for a guy who was almost the last player selected in this years draft.
Honorable mention: Lawrence Jackson, DE, Seattle Seahawks.

Undervalued Fantasy Football Mid-Round Bargains
August 31, 2008
Drafting these overlooked Fantasy football players offers excellent value at reasonable costs to all fantasy football teams. Were taking advantage of these players, as everyone goes with the big name players hoping to give you the push to the top. We feel these underdogs or sleepers will help you reign as number 1.
Thomas Jones, RB, New York Jets: With the additions of guard Alan Faneca, fullback Tony Richardson, and tight end Bubba Franks upgrades the New York Jets running attack significantly. Watch out for Jones to take advantage of great blocking and huge holes for long runs in 2008. Were running with this and drafting Thomas Jones as high as our first running back on our fantasy football team. This is well worth the shot.
Matt Forte, RB, Chicago Bears: With such talented and hyped up rookies Darren McFadden and Jonathan Stewart getting selected early in fantasy football drafts, we like the chances of Matt Forte to compete for the same kind of fantasy statistics. Fortes combination of speed, size durability, running skills and receiving skills will serve great for fantasy teams as he will be on the field with the Bears for most downs. With the upgraded offensive line of the Chicago Bears, we can see Matt Forte having a nice rookie year. Well take our chances with Matt, take him no higer then a number 2 or 3 option on most fantasy football teams.
LenDale White, RB, Tennesse Titans: White ran for his first 1000 plus yard season and included 7 touchdowns last year. In a Titans conservative run focused system, he carried for over 300 times, one of only 6 running backs last year to do so. Were expecting a big year from LenDale, were not taking him as our number 1 running back but were making him easily our number 2 option. If you can steal him as a number 3 back don't let him go to far.
Kevin Smith, RB, Detroit Lions: With the addition of Rob Marinelli as head coach, establishing an effective running attack along with a strong defense are 2 main goals for the Lions as a team this upcoming year. These changes will benefit Kevin Smith, he can easily average 20 carries per game. If your all about taking chances in fantasy leagues, Smith is one to go with. He can easily be your number 2 option. Well just have to wait and see.
Draft these players, to only improve your team and giving you a better chance to win each week. Remember these are sleepers so don't rely on them to single handily win the fantasy football league themselves.
