2-5 last two weeks, after going 0-4 last week. I was in a terrible 6-car pileup on the interstate last week right as those games were going down to the wire. My bro was driving, and I was watching the games on my phone when we got hit. His car was totaled, but luckily no one was hurt... We got hit by a 18-wheeler which threw us into construction area where we ended up hitting a construction lamp head on at high speed. Was not lucky with football (0-4), but lucky to be able to pick some more games this week!
Anyways, on to the games: 2 Plays for the early games today. Play or fade away... Buffalo +2.5 vs. New England: Brady rolled his ankle on Friday, and will need to stay upright this game with limited running around in the pocket. Bad news is that Buffalo's defensive line is one of the best in the league, and will make today difficult for him. Buffalo also wants to win this game to take a step ahead of NE in the division. A small play on the ML would be a good idea too. Miami +3 vs. Green Bay: Hot and humid in Miami, where Rodger's old offensive coordinator has had two weeks to prepare his team to stop that machine. Green Bay has had 10 days after their Thursday Night beatdown of Minnesota, where the public has been stroking their ego non-stop. Green Bay hopefully has worked on stopping the run, because if they can't do that then they are in store for a long day from Miller, Moreno, and even Tannehill. Tannehill is also a better QB than what they saw against Ponder last week. Miami also knows that after the Buf/NE game, someone is going to be 4-2 in the division, and a loss puts them behind both of those teams, regardless of the other game's outcome. Another one that is worth a ML bet, and possibly parlay both the ML's for these games!! Both of these teams are very good as home dogs, and I like fading teams coming off ego-boosting victories, like the Pats vs. Cincy and the Packers over Minny. Best of luck!

2-1 Last Week on my 1:00 picks
Falcons +3.5 --- Public's short memory think the Falcons lost to Minnesota (which I correctly picked last week), and the Giants crushed Washington on the TNF game. Before those games, the Falcons would've been favored by more than a FG. Now we are getting more than a FG with Atlanta. Saints -10.5 --- Saints need this game. Bucs come in off a great win, and I think once they get down they will give up. This line would be 13-14 if the Bucs would have lost, or if the Saints would have won against Cleveland or Atlanta earlier this year and were 2-2. Jags +6.0 --- This kind of goes against my short memory mentality, as everyone is down on the Steelers after last week, but I honestly don't think they are that great. They played well in Carolina earlier in the year, but I'm not sold on them being a playoff team, and will take the home dog and the points. Rams +6.5 --- The line movement is part of my reasoning for this play. StL is coning off a bye, and Philly is still overrated. I'm going to roll with Jeff Fisher and the pts. BOL everybody! |

Long time, no posts. I feel confident about these three games today. May be good fade material, but we will see:
Carolina +3 @ Baltimore I just don't think Baltimore is "playoff good", and Carolina has something to prove coming off a huge loss. Baltimore was lucky to escape Cleveland last week with a win, and now have a non-conference foe coming in, which I think they won't be as motivated for with a game @ Indy and Andrew Luck on deck. You also look at the common opponent, Pittsburgh, which thrashed Carolina, but got crushed at Baltimore, and that gives the public a hard on for Baltimore. I like fading the average Joe reasoning, so give me Carolina and the points in a low scoring game. Green Bay -2 @ Chicago Green Bay has faced three of the toughest front-sevens in the NFL so far in Seattle, New York Jets, and Detroit. They essentially have been one dimensional so far because of that, but I expect a huge game for Lacy that the Packers will establish early, and then open up the aerial attack for Rodgers. The Bears are lucky to be 2-1, as I think San Fran gave that game away. Regardless, the public is over-valuing the Bears right now, and seems to have written off Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. I think this one comes down to Cutler doing something stupid or getting stripped by Peppers or Mathews in the closing minutes to seal the game for the Pack. Tampa Bay +7 @ Pittsburgh This one is all about pride, and Lovie has had 9 days to get his team ready before today. Doug Martin should be a factor in this game too. I always love taking teams coming off blowout losses when getting a TD or more. I could be wrong, and Tampa may very well be pure crap, but I think Lovie will have his team ready. Lastly, let's rally against these Euro's!!! USA!!!!

Teasing it down to -2 with other games seems like the best bet.

I think the SEC has a chance to go over in the GA Dome (o/u 58.5). 31-28 does it. Auburn is so quick, and their defense is also susceptible. James Franklin is dual-threat, as opposed to McCarron last week, and even he took off for some runs against the Tigers if I recall correctly.
With Duke/FSU, I worry about Duke being able to score more than 17 against a stout defense. I think too they will try and control the clock since FSU can score in a hurry. Also, FSU really grinds it out with a run every play in 4th quarter drives where they have the lead. Last week they really milked the clock late, and kicked a FG to barely cover the spread against the Gators. Overall, this one scares me for the over. No bets on either for me, but i'd lean towards the SEC over instead of the ACC over.

College football is obviously flawed. Following this year, a team like Alabama will still be able to compete for the National Championship. That got me thinking though...
F/F?: Currently, Alabama would be favored over any team outside of FSU, on a neutral field, if they played today. I can't think of any team Vegas would favor over Bama other than the Seminoles right now. Thoughts?

5-2 last week.
Tonight, the smart thing is no play. Two bad teams. Jacksonville seems to have some confidence, and Houston took a devastating loss less than a week ago. I'd feel pretty shaky betting on either of these teams. Gun to the head, I'd go with the Texans if you can get it at less than 3, say at -2.5... But, No Play is the way to go tonight.

Haven't posted picks in forever, but have had a good year (thanks some to you guys! - I appreciate it), so here are the early games I'm playing today:
Houston +7.0 (Large Play - 5 Units) New York Jets -2 (Medium/Large Play - 4 Units) - You can get it -1.5 now.. Minnesota Vikings -1.0 (Medium Play - 3 Units) Panthers -7.0 (Small Play - 2 Units) Colts -4.0 (Small Play - 2 Units) Basically, I'm fading most of the public plays (Pats, Phins, Bears) for home teams in my bigger plays. Give me the Panthers and Colts as favorites at home in rematches of divisional teams that recently played. Good luck! |

Give me the 40 pts as well. I think Wisconsin will look to pound the ball coming off the bye, and hopefully some long drives will eat up enough clock to keep this one within 6 TD's. For a 1-5 team, Indiana's red zone defensive stats are not as bad as one would imagine (59th in opponents RZ scoring %, 89th in RZ scoring attempts per game). Hopefully they can hold the Badgers to some FG's instead of TD's.
I've said 'hopefully' a few times, so this is definitely a small play. Indiana +40
