Picks of the Week



Horrible week, again.  This is becoming a familiar refrain.

My long time readers know how this works, but for everybody else,  a reminder.  Each pick is using the spread (straight up is for wussies), and the betting line is from the same website each week as of the time of typing the entry. I keep a running tally of my record, plus my winnings/losses. We will "pretend" that I bet $100 on each game, with one game each week going for $250. Winnings/Losses will be calculated including a 10% vig to make the math that much simpler.

Dallas Cowboys -3 at Minnesota Vikings
Road favorite, yes, but Minnesota was without a coach.  Damn Vikings.

Chicago Bears +1 v. San Francisco 49ers
If the Bears lose this game, and they should, they fall into the number 2 pick in the draft.  Let's go DeShaun Watson.

Kansas City Chiefs +4 1/2 at Atlanta Falcons
Kansas City just does not give up that many points on defense.  I feel the Falcon win, but 23-20.

Miami Dolphins +3 1/2 at Baltimore Ravens
In what should be a really close game, I will take the points.  The Ravens have won four of the last five against the Dolphins, but Miami keeps it close at least.

Cincinnati Bengals -2 v. Philadelphia Eagles
Cincinnati tries to salvage something from a very disappointing season.  That something is they find a new a complement to A.J. Green in Tyler Boyd.

Green Bay Packers -6 1/2 v. Houston Texans
I predict that all of Green Bay's touchdown drives total the amount of plays in one of Houston's drives.

Jacksonville Jaguars +3 1/2 v. Denver Broncos
The Broncos had established some good rhythm with Trevor Siemian, but have to start rookie Paxton Lynch today.  Austin Davis from Southern Mississippi is the backup today.  Rough going for the Broncos.

Los Angeles Rams +13 at New England Patriots
New England wins this game, but with all of their injuries, I do not see it being complete domination.  I will take almost 2 touchdowns.

New Orleans -6 1/2 v. Detroit Lions
The only thing that I know for sure about this game is that the Lions will be trailing in the fourth quarter.  I expect New Orleans to close them out.

Oakland Raiders -3 v. Buffalo Bills
Oakland is cruising.

Washington Racists +2 1/2 at Arizona Cardinals
Kirk Cousins bet on himself, and he is winning HUGE!  The Skins offense keeps rolling against a disappointing Arizona team.  David Johnson does score two touchdowns, though.

New York Giants +6 1/2 at Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers cannot stop anybody, which means they really cannot stop Odell Beckham, Jr.  Plus, the visiting team usually wins in this series.  So, I will take the visiting team with points!

San Diego Chargers -3 1/2 v. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
San Diego is so much better than its 5-6 record.  They are the third highest scoring team, and they will put up a ton against Tampa Bay.

Carolina Panthers +7 1/2 at Seattle Seahawks
Seattle is 5-0 at home, but three of these games have been by six points or less.  Cam pulls a big game out of Greg Olsen to keep this close on the road.

New York Jets +2 v. Indianapolis Colts
Andres Luck is 0-2 against the Jets in his career with a passer rating of 52.  Jets win in an upset.

Big Bet Game of the Week
Green Bay Packers -6 1/2 v. Houston Texans
I predict that all of Green Bay's touchdown drives total the amount of plays in one of Houston's drives.  Plus, it looks like Aaron Rodgers and this offense has found a good rhythm.

Last Week's Record: 7-8-1
Last Week's Big Bet: 1-0
Year-to-Date Record: 85-89-5
Big Bet Year-to-Date: 2-10
Last Week's Winnings (Losses):($30)
Winnings (Losses) Year-to-Date: ($2860)
