Picks of the Week

I am in Chicago to watch my sister run in the marathon, which starts in an hour, so no analysis or reasoning, 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.



New England Patrionts -10 v. Indianapolis Colts


Buffalo Bills + 5 1/2 v. Tennessee Titans


Carolina Panthers -6 1/2 v. New York Giants
(I feel I might regret this one).

Baltimore Ravens -3 at Cleveland Browns


Green Bay Packers +1 at Detroit Lions


Kansas City Chiefs -3 v. Jacksonville Jaguars


Denver Broncos -1 at New York Jets
