Picks of the Week

A winning week according to the record, but the damn big bet gets me again.  I am 0-4 on the big bet this year.  UGH!  I have to catch a flight in a couple of hours, so no analysis for the most part, just picks.  Remember, first game today is in England, so it starts EARLY!

For those that are new to this site, I will select every game against the spread.  I will be selecting one big bet at $250 per, whereas everything else will be $100.  Winners count as winners, whereasv, losses will be calculated including a 10% vig to make the math that much simpler.  On to the picks.

Los Angeles Rams -2 1/2 at Seattle Seahawks

Since home teams are 0-3 so far on Thursday nights, why not just pick the best team?

New York Jets +2 1/2 "at" Atlanta Falcons (in London)

Take points in an awful game.

Washington Football Team +2 1/2 v. New Orleans Saints

Green Bay Packers -23 at Cincinnati Bengals

Detroit Lions +10 at Minnesota Vikings

  

Pittsburgh Steelers +1 1/2 v. Denver Broncos

Just a gut feeling.

Tennessee Titans -4 1/2 at Jacksonville Jaguars

Carolina Panthers -3 v. Philadelphia Eagles

Tampa Bay Buccaneers -10 v. Miami Dolphins

New England Patriots -8 at Houston Texans

Las Vegas Raiders -5 1/2 v. Chicago Bears

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

Arizona Cardinals -5 1/2 v. San Francisco 49ers

Dallas Cowboys -7 v. New York Giants

Buffalo Bills +3 at Kansas City Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens -7 v. Indianapolis Colts

Big Bet

New England Patriots -8 at Houston Texans

So on short weeks, like Thursday nights, always pick the home team.  That hasn't works, so I switched it up this week and picked the road team.  For my big bet, always pick a team at home, and if you do pick a team on the road, never select a road favorite (this is for the big bet, not for all road favorites).  So, I am going to switch that up this week to break my big bet 0-4 streak.
