What a wild week in the NFL. If any one needed proof that it is ridiculously difficult to bet and win consistently on NFL games last week was the perfect example. As a fan, I have to agree with LaRocque: the parity of the National Football league is miles beyond any other professional sport and this makes things interesting every week. As for beating the spread, if it was easy it wouldn't be fun right? After a sorry 2/5 last week I remain above .500 at 14-11 on the year. SO here goes...
Buffalo PK vs San Diego
This may contradict the age old saying "bet with your head, not with your heart". The Chargers donned their baby-blue jerseys and dismembered the Patriots on Sunday Night, so at first I found myself liking the Chargers in this one. But, there is that west coast to east coast thing going on here. AND, most importantly I hate San Diego's players, so rooting for them in any way shape or form nauseates me. I haven't been able to track down any statistics on whether or not west to east travel effects the hotness of a teams dancers, or if anomalies such as "Cheerleaders traveling from west to east are 76% more likely to apply too much makeup", or even worse "wear turtlenecks 84% of the time". This is information that the Guru must have.
Denver +3 @ New England
A little reverse Psychology here maybe? This is what its come to. New England is straight up frustrating to watch. Rivers had a field day with the secondary and I'm expecting much of the same with Cutler slinging the pill in Foxboro this weekend. Either way I win here.
Indianapolis -1.5 @ Green Bay
Indy finally had its breakout game against a very solid Baltimore team. Rodgers is banged up and I don't think that the Packers have a running game to take advantage of the Indy defense. That's saying something. When will analogies between loose women and the middle of Idianapolis' run defense become a permanent fixture in the American lexicon? Not soon enough if you ask me. How many times will I use the word "analogies" in a single post? Looks like 3.
New York Jets -3 @ Oakland
Farve must be due for another 5 TD game, I'm thinking they cover 3 points no problem.
***Upset Of The Week***
Cleveland +7 @ Washington
The Browns will be riding a wave of momentum while the Redskins look to bounce back. I don't necessarily think the Browns win this but it should be a close game. Take the points.
Now for the real money makers...I hit 13/15 College Teasers last week which isn't too bad at all. As always spreads are adjusted for the tease...
1) Virginia Tech + 12 @ BC
2) Wisconsin +13 @ Iowa
3) Northwestern +5 vs Purdue
4) Oklahoma -11 vs Kansas
5) Mississippi St + 16.5 @ Tennessee
6) Alabama -3.5 vs Ole Miss
7) Vanderbilt + 23.5 @ Georgia
8) Washington St +51 vs USC
9) Michigan St +12.5 vs Ohio St.
10) Texas +4.5 vs Missouri
11) UNC +4.5 @ Virginia
12) Arkansas + 17 @ Kentucky
13) LSU +6.5 @ South Carolina
14) Arkansas St +12 @ ULa Lafayette
15) Troy -0.5 vs Florida International U
