NFL Picks

I'm a little late with the posts. Turns out most of the bettable games look like Best Bets. Once again, bettable games are in red. Best Bets are red and bold.


Baltimore-7 Kansas City: The Chiefs choke. The only chance they have is intelligent coaching since they can't win on talent. Oh yeah, they have Herm Edwards. Seven points probably won't be big enough. The Line is K.C. -3 making Baltimore a Best Bet.

Atlanta -3 Tampa Bay: One thing for sure Tampa has no offense. The under may be the best bet here (but I don't play that). Line is where I thought it would be. No bet here. For the record, the O/U is 37. Pretty generous. The under is the only way to play this one.

Minnesota pick Detroit: Who ever gets the points get the play. Well, the Vikings are getting one. I wouldn'’t bet this game.

Tennessee -6 Huston: That should be the line. Anything else, give or take a point, is crazy. Turns out, they'’re crazy. Huston is giving Tennessee a point. Best Bet Two.

NY Giants -6 Carolina: Who cares. I wouldn't bet this horror show. Well, if the line is 10 or more I'd take the Panthers, but it won't be. Holy shit! Carolina is giving New York 2 1/2! Bettable (not a Best Bet, though).

Dallas -3 New Orleans: Romo's on the verge of a letdown. The Saints may actually win this one. The line is actually 7 ½. That makes the Saints bettable.

NY Jets -6 Buffalo: The Bills are one of those teams that play to the level of their opponent, or else all those genius coaches play down to the Bills level. Not the Jets. The line is only 3 ½. New York should cover that. (No bet, though).

Indianapolis -3 Jacksonville: The Jags will probably win. I'm real curious about this line. I think this is going to be lousy coach vs mediocre coach. Take mediocre and the points. The game is a "“pick"”. Don'’t try and bet this one.

Washington and Philadelphia: Take whoever gets the points. That'’s Washington getting one. Pass on this contest.

Cincinnati -1,000,000 Oakland: Anything more, I'll take the Raiders, otherwise the Bengals will be a Best Bet. Best Bet of the day, maybe of the whole year. Take the Bengals and you only have to give up 10 ½.

New England -4 Miami: Minus four? I'm going with line on this one. Less I'm taking the Pats, more I'm going with the Dolphins. So the line is 3 ½. No bet.

Green Bay -3 San Francisco: The 49ers are getting a little too much attention. They aren'’t that good. I was right about too much attention. The 49ers are giving 4 ½! The Packers are bettable.

Seattle -7 Arizona: Seven or less, the Seahawks are a Best Bet. More then 7, I'm going with Arizona since coach Holmgren is an idiot. Holmgren a bigger idiot then I thought after watching him almost blow the game against Denver. The actual line of -–3 seems about right. Pass.

San Diego -14 Denver: This line isn't going to happen. The Chargers will be a best bet. This didn'’t happen. The line is 7 ½. Take the Chargers as a Best Bet.


Chicago -whatever St. Louis: Grossman threw for 3 yards (actually 34) and the Bears still won. Arizona clobbered St. Louis. The line won't be big enough. The line is Chicago -–6. Not enough. The Bears are another Best Bet.


Eight bettable games, five Best Bets. What can I say. If you only bet one game, it's the Bengals over the Raiders. Or, better yet, parlay Baltimore with Cincinnati.
