First 5 weeks are in the books. A couple of surprises this season (Vikings and Cardinals), and some disappointments (Titans, Lions and Jets).
Some really good games this week. So far my season record ATS is 38-35-4 (a 52% clip). You need to pick at about 60% to make any money.
Carolina, Chicago, Jacksonville and New Orleans get the week off.
Tonight:
Pittsburgh (-5.5) Titans are just plain old bad, and they don't look like they care. A bad combination.
Sunday:
WASHINGTON (-1) Vikes come into this one riding high, but it won't be easy to win at RFK. I think Wash wins on a late score.
CLEVELAND (+1) The Browns won't have many opportunities to win this year, so I see them capitalizing on this chance. They lost a close one to Cincy earlier in week 2.
Indianapolis (+3.5) FQ2 may actually be on to something with Andrew Luck. That was a helluva finish last week against the Packers. I see them winning fairly easily against a lost Jets club.
Kansas City (+3.5) The Chiefs aren't very good, but I think they'll keep this close, and lose by less than 3.5 to Tampa.
ATLANTA (-9) Oakland scores early, and then the Falcons pour on about 30 consecutive and blow 'em out.
BALTIMORE (-3.5) It's all Tony Romo for the 'Boys. I think he plays well, but a late turnover will doom Big D.
PHILADELPHIA (-4) Eagles rebound and play their best game of the year here. Lions are close for the 1st quarter, but it's all Philly after that.
St.Louis (+3.5) The Rams take their 'D' on the road. Miami is a tough team to figure out. I think the Rams win a close one.
SEATTLE (+3.5) The Patriots head to the northwest, seemingly having put things back together. However, the Seahawks have played very well at home. Their defense will smack Brady around. UPSET OF THE WEEK.
ARIZONA (-4.5) The Bills are bad, very bad. Arizona is not as good as their record would indicate, however, any team that holds Brady to 18 points at Foxboro is worth taking here.
SAN FRANCISCO (-5) Rematch of last year's NFC title game. Two fumbled punt returns cost the 49ers last year. Watch out GMen, you get pounded into submission here. I'm thinking something along the lines of 37-13.
Green Bay (+3.5) I'm struggling with this one. The Packers have got to protect Rodgers better. Houston could have a field day and crush GB, but I expect the green and gold to bounce back and find a way to win what should be a highly entertaining Sunday Night matchup.
Monday:
Denver (+1.5) Broncos head to San Diego and win a shootout with the Chargers.
