2009 NFL ATS Pick 'Em: Week Eleven - Jamie Reamer

By: Luke Florence
Indianapolis (-0.5) @ Baltimore
Betting against Peyton Manning is like going for it on 4th and 2 from your own 28 yd line with 2:08 left in the game...AGAINST Peyton Manning

San Francisco @ Green Bay (-6.5)
This match-up reminds me of the 1998 NFC Wild Card game where TO dropped passes all game, then came up with a remarkable catch and throw from Steve Young through three Green Bay defenders to win the game. This has no relevance to this game, but that was a great game.

Buffalo @ Jacksonville (-8.5)
The first team to fire its Offensive Coordinator before the season begins is the first team to fire its Head Coach during the season. Clearly it's all T.O.'s fault

Atlanta @ New York Giants (-6.5)
The Giants are finally starting to get healthy after a bye week and Matty-Ice is fighting through a sophomore slump.

New Orleans (-11.5) @ Tampa Bay
I wanna take the Bucs, but the Saints struggle vs. teams that can run the ball, and that's clearly not the Bucs strength. Actually, I'm not sure what their strength is, other than putting Freeman under center. The Saints pass D has been solid and they blitz a lot which will likely bother the rookie with few weapons around him. And of course Drew Breeeeeessss

Cleveland @ Detroit (-3.5)
This game is about as enticing as the OSU-Michigan game

San Diego (-2.5) @ Denver
I can't bring myself to pick a hurt Kyle Orton or Chris Simms. Not that I would pick a healthy Kyle Orton, but you get the point.

Cincinnati (-9.5) @ Oakland
JaMarcus Russell finally got benched. Their solution? Start the former Browns legends either Bruce Gradkowski or Charlie Frye. I hear they have Kelly Holcomb and Jeff Garcia on speed dial--wait, that last one might be true.

Reamer's sense of humor is one that gets bestowed upon you when you are a Cleveland Brown AND a Notre Dame Fighting Irish fan ... it's one of the few benefits.
