Picks of the Week

I am running a bit behind, so no analysis this week.  Just picks.

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.  On to the picks.

Washington Racists -1 1/2 at Dallas Cowboys

Chicago Bears -2 1/2 v. San Francisco 49ers

Minnesota Vikings +2 at Atlanta Falcons

Detroit Lions +2 1/2 at Baltimore Ravens

New England Patriots -7 1/2 at Buffalo Bills

Tampa Bay Buccaneers +3 at Green Bay Packers

Jacksonville Jaguars -9 1/2 v. Indianapolis Colts

Miami Dolphins +1 1/2 v. Denver Broncos

New York Jets +4 v. Kansas City Chiefs

Tennessee Titans -7 v. Houston Texans

Los Angeles Chargers -13 1/2 v. Cleveland Browns

Carolina Panthers +5 at New Orleans Saints

Los Angeles Rams -7 at Arizona Cardinals

New York Giants +8 1/2 at Oakland Raiders -5

Philadelphia Eagles -3 1/2 at Seattle Seahawks

Pittsburgh Steelers -4 1/2 at Cincinnati Bengals

Big Bet

Los Angeles Rams -7 at Arizona Cardinals
I also thought about Pittsburgh over Cincinnati, and New England Patriots over Buffalo, but since Pittsburgh and New England are both road intra-divisional favorite, I went ahead and took Los Angeles because they are giving up few points than New England and over Pittsburgh so I would not have to wait for Monday night.
