It was about time! PERFECT for the weekend! I was a perfect 8-0! I could actually claim 9-0 since I called the “under” on the Atlanta-Tampa game. But I’ll just go with the 8-0 and jack my record to 24-16-1!!!!!!!!! Why buck the trend? I’ll make my picks this week the same way I did last week. First, I’ll make my line. Then I’ll make recommendations based on that.
THURSDAY DECEMBER 14
Seattle –4 San Francisco: Something’s really wrong in Seattle. The 49’ers are still trying even though things are hopeless for them. The line goes to more then seven I may take 49’ers.
SATURDAY DECEMBER 16
Dallas –9 Atlanta: The Cowboys got spanked and the Falcons will give them a chance to work out their frustration.
SUNDAY DECEMBER 17
Baltimore –10 Cleveland: Baltimore just getting started. A struggling Steelers team spanked Cleveland. This looks like a potential Best Bet.
Buffalo –3 Miami: Both played pretty strong last week. Buffalo’s the more consistent team.
Pittsburgh –6 Carolina: Big mistake changing quarterbacks for the Panthers. The Steelers will eat them alive.
Chicago –10 Tampa: Of course the Bears will crush them, maybe even shut them out. Less then 14 I’m taking the Bears.
Green Bay –7 Detroit: The pack has some pride. The Lions are horrible.
N.Y. Jets –4 Minnesota: New York will bounce back. The Vikings will be fighting. Tough one.
New England –14 Huston: Line won’t be that big. The Pat’s will be a play.
New Orleans and Washington: Doesn’t matter what the line is. The Saints will cover.
Jacksonville –3 Tennessee: The Titans ain’t that bad and the Jaguars will be overrated since they stomped the Colts. Should be bettable.
Denver EVEN Arizona: I used to like the Broncos, but the quarterback change has turned me off. Arizona is the play if they get more then three.
Philadelphia EVEN N.Y. Giants: Take the points. These two teams are even.
St. Louis –1 Oakland: I don’t like the Raiders, but if they get too many points I may take them against the Rams.
San Diego –7 ½ Kansas City: The Chiefs are just not that good. The Chargers are explosive. I’ll wait for the line.
MONDAY DECEMBER 18
Cincinnati EVEN Indianapolis: An even game if ever there was one. Take whoever gets the points.
I’ll post the picks tomorrow.
