Well we went 3-2 last week on our picks. The Bengals killed me. And what they did to the Saints D, will explain one of my picks this week. I like four favorites this week and one dog. This dog is so solid that you should go bet your house on it. Seriously....right after you read this, go to your bookie or website and bet house. Also if you want to see previous picks, just leave a comment and I will get it to you. Anyway here they are, as solid as ever.
Jacksonville (-4) hosting Oakland. The Jags are running the ball like crazy and looking to stay in front of Indy in a tight division race. West coast teams coming East and playing early never do well and the Raiders QB situation is pedestrian at best.
Take the Jags minus the points, 24-14.
Green Bay (-6 ½) at Detroit. Aaron Rodgers and his receivers are on fire right now and even if they were not, the Lions are down to their 3rd string QB and will not score more than 13 points. I cannot believe the line is this low.
Take the Packers to cover 31-10.
Atlanta (-7) at Carolina. The Panthers are the worst team in the league and they are all beat-up. That is all.
Atlanta wins going away, 27-13.
Baltimore (-3) at Houston. The Ravens are mad right now. The loss to the Steelers last week was unacceptable given how that game was going. They are going to open up that offense and Joe Flacco is going to look like freaking John Elway.
The Ravens win a shootout, 35-28.
Upset Alert!!!
St. Louis (+8½) at New Orleans. While I realize the Rams defense has been playing very well recently and is keeping them in that division, but it is the offense that is going to cover for them. The Saints defense is not what it was last year. Sam Bradford is completing 60% of his passes and he does not turn the ball over and turnovers are what the Saints defense is built upon. Inferior teams have been keeping it close against the Saints (like the Cowboys and Bengals) and eight and a half points is a lot.
Saints win but Rams cover, 28-20.
