The public demanded it, and so I'm going to deliver. I have no problem with a lot of people being ultra cautious about NFL selection services – after all, I discussed it for roughly thirty-two pages in the sites introduction.

Whatever I can do to make any and all customers of this service comfortable with my intentions. We'll start out with a free pick for Week Nine, structured exactly how it would be in the e-mail I send out to the subscribers. If you like what you see and/or win tomorrow afternoon/evening, than hopefully most people will get a feel for what type of service I'm running here. I'm legitimately determined to offer a level of customer service and no-nonsense attitude that unfortunately, has not been seen on many NFL selection sites before.

But anyway -- without further ado, let's get started!


Note: The lines listed are that of the home teams.


New York (Jets) @ Buffalo


Actual line: -5

My systems line: -3 / -3.5

I would have normally sent this out earlier this week instructing all subscribers to take the Jets getting 5.5 points, which was what the line was earlier in the week. Still though, given what I capped the game at – the Jets are still the play at +5. Feel free to buy the half-point though, you just NEVER know!

Divisional rivalries are always hard-fought, rough ball games and these two will be no different. Even when their games didn't mean much the two teams would give it all they had, so it's safe to assume that this is going to be an enormously important game for both squads – both standings wise as well as mentally. The Jets are also playing for a potential shot to share first place along with the Patriots should they lose on Sunday night to the Colts.

Trent Edwards has played spectacular thus far and he will have to stay at that level to give the Bills a shot on Sunday. The Jets have one of the best rushing defenses in the NFL, in large part to their off-season acquisition of perennial run-stopper (and Jon Gruden annoyer) Kris Jenkins. Marshawn Lynch will have a respectable day against them, if only because of the amount of carries he will get. In the end, the Bills will live and die on Trent Edwards impressive but inexperienced arm.

To sum it all up, five points is just too enticing to pass up, especially since my system said the Jets should only be getting about a field goal or so. This game will be hard-fought and close the entire day -- and if you do go ahead and decide to buy that half point – will almost certainly fail to be a nail-biter. A nail-biter in terms of our play, rather.

The play: New York Jets (+5)


Unfortunately, that's going to be it for now. If you want my other three selections for Week Nine than please feel free to head over to http://vigorishbeatdown.blogspot.com and sign up for this weeks plays for a mere $17.99. That's LESS expensive than the minimum bet at nearly all online sportsbooks! And since we're just starting out and I want to get people on board, the $17.99 price tag will now get you TWO weeks worth of picks -- for the price of one (as if I needed to tell you that)!!


If you'd like to wait to see how I fare this week than feel free to do that also. Although I've had a tendency this year to cause those same people to repeatedly slam their head against a table by days end. Something about they could have won a bunch of money...

The unfortunately necessary legal blurb:

All subscription sales are final. Since I haven't guaranteed a particular win percentage or outcome (since that would basically be impossible), all bought subscriptions are subject to the customers level of trust in The Vigorish Beatdown plays.
