Last week was tough. I was wrong on my bank of the week and really really wrong on my shocker of the week. Nevertheless the skins won, so what the hell do I care. (And the victory did net me a nice proline victory ... I needed the touchdown in OT)
I am still comfortably over 50% so I guess I maintain some credibility. Honestly, I feel good about this week's picks.
Carolina -8.5 vs Clev.
I keep waiting for Carolina to explode. But Cleveland and Frye have been playing well, coming back after being down by a lot on the road last week. Of course it was to the gambler's favorite team...hmm....Carolina.
Buffalo +11 at Chicago
Everyone is on the Bears bandwagon now - best team in the league many say. I don't quite buy it yet. 11 points is a lot.
GB -3 at Rams
I'll take the 3 points the Pack are getting at Lambeau, not that playing at home has meant much to them as of late.
Indy -18.5 vs Tenn.
Is this a college game?
(Yes I know that's Volek, and he's not on the team anymore)
Detroit + 6 at Minnesota
Detroit has actually started to score so I think they might keep this one close ... then again the Vikes could win by 30.
Miami +10 vs N.E.
New England really surprised me last week. Everybody and their dog are looking for them to roll this week. I like Saban to keep this close.
N.O. -6.5 vs T.B.
I don't feel good about this pick - the only reason is that you just can't take a rookie qb in his first start on the road.
Wash. +4 at NYG
You think I give the Gmen 4 points after the Skins explosion last week?
Arz. +3.5 vs KC
...but a rookie qb at home...what the hell?
Jax +7 vs NYJ
I see Jacksonville scoring big and completely shutting down the Jets after last week's defensive embarrassment.
SF -3.5 vs Oak
Moving along
Phil -2.5 vs Dallas
Philly cruises.
Pitts. +3.5 at SD
This is a field goal game all the way.
Denver -4 vs Baltimore.
This is a lock this time .... really.
Last Week 6-8
Overall 34-24-2
(58.6% versus the spread)
