Picks of the Week

 

Really nice start to the NFL season is leaving me pumped for Week 2. Great record for the week, Rodgers not playing for the rest of the year; for what more could a person ask?

Travelling this weekend (Tennessee v. Florida game) so typing this on my phone.  Please forgice any typos because of this 

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, whereas, losses will be calculated including a 10% vig to make the math that much simpler.  On to the picks.

Philadelphia Eagles -6 v. Minnesota Vikings

Home team on a short week, plus Prime Time Kirk Cousinsa equals easy Philly win.

Chicago Bears +3 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

When two bad teams play each other, take the points 

Green Bay Packers + 2 1/2 at Atlanta Falcons

Green Bay looked really good last week.  Granted it was againat Chicago, but still.  A.J. Dillon is a more than capable backip if Aaron Jones cannot go 

Indianapolis Colts + 2 1/2 at Houston Texans

Taking points when two bad teams play each other, plus C.J. Stroud is a little banged up already.

Detroit Lions -4 1/2 v. Seattle Seahawks

Detroit looked GOOD in a week 1 win over the Chiefs, plus, Seattle is a west coast team travelling east and playing in the early time slot.

Los Angeles Chargers -2 1/2 at Tennessee Titans

The Chargers played the best of all of the losing teams last week, and, if you go check my picks Insaid the Dolphins-Chargers game would be the most exciting of the week.  Explosive offense is too much for Tennessee.

Baltimore Ravens +3 at Cincinnati Bengalals

Last week could have been an anonalously bad game for Cincinnati, but I am going to take points against them anyway.

Las Vegas Raiders +8 1/2 at Buffalo Bills

Conflicting betting rules in this one:  Las Vegas travelling east and playing at 1:00, and Buffalo on a short week.  I think this one will be close, so I l'll take the points.

Jacksonville Jaguars +3 1/2 v. Kansas City Chiefs

Travis Kelce and Chris Jones returning is huge for Kansas City for the season, but this Jaguars team is a contender, and they are getting points at home.  This is the game to which I am most looking to watch this week.

Los Angeles Rams +7 v. San Francisco 49ers

The Niners are easily the best team in the NFL right now, but I hate giving up points on the toad to a divisional rival.

New York Giants - 4 at Arizona Cardinals

The Giants may have iver-performed last year, but they are not as bad as the Cowboys made them look last week.

Dallas Cowboys -9 v. New York Jets

Yes, this is a lot of points, but the Jets are notnonly on a short week, but on the toad during a short week.  Plus, did you hear that Aaron Rodgers is out for the season with an Achilles injury?

Washington Commanders +3 1/2 at Denver Broncos

In what could be a defensive steuggle, I will take the points 

New England Patriots +3 v. Miami Dolphins

Miami is explosive offensively, but might have problems defensively.  And, although I imitially typed in Miami as my picj here, I just can't gonagainat the established gambling rules, so I will take a home dog in a divisional battle.

Carolina Panthers +3 v. New Orleans

Another home dog in an intradivsional game, but also, not sure either of these teama can score a lot.  Perhaps New Orleans wins 14-13, keeping Chicago in the running for the number 1 pick.

Pittsburgh Steelers +3 v. Cleveland Browns

Another home intra-divisional underdog.  Pittsburgh bounces bacl from an embarrassing loss, but San Francisco will embarass a lot of teams this year.

Big Bet:

Las Vegas Raiders +8 1/2 at Buffalo Bills:

No real games I like for the bug net, so I will pick the game in which I am getting the most points.
