Last week ended up even thanks to a desperate Monday night pick. Five Best Bets this week and Monday may be a bonus or another desperate shot. See how things go.
Cincinnati 3 KANSAS CITY: Close game, but the Chiefs have a slight edge here, but not big enough for a bet.
JACKSONVILLE 6½ Houston: Another close one with the Huston having a slight edge against the line, but it’s a pass.
CLEVELAND 4½ Miami: I have Cleveland by three. Too small of an edge for a play.
CHICAGO 5 Minnesota: The Vikings should not only cover, but win this out right. BEST BET ONE.
Philadelphia 3½ NEW YORK JETS: I can’t figure out the Eagles, but the numbers say they’re a lot better then the Jets. Good enough to cover this line. BEST BET TWO.
BALTIMORE 9 St. Louis: This line is right on. Pass.
TAMPA BAY 3 Tennessee: Too close to call…pass.
GREEN BAY 3 Washington: Very close game. The Redskins can win this, but I’m going to pass.
ARIZONA 4½ Carolina: An even game if ever there was one. That’s why the line is a goofy 4 ½. I’m leaning toward Arizona but have to call this a pass.
New England 5 DALLAS: The biggest game of the year so far. The Pats are giving five points to a team that squeaked by the Bills? The books are taking no chances here. Dallas at home getting points insures a lot of money on them. The Pats can give them twice as many and still cover…BEST BET THREE.
SAN DIEGO 10 Oakland: The Chargers may be coming to life, but I make this game even. Oakland’s the play and BEST BET FOUR.
SEATTLE 6½ New Orleans: The Seahawks are another underachiever, but then again, so are the Saints. The numbers say Seattle’s BEST BET FIVE.
MONDAY NIGHT
N.Y Giants 3½ ATLANTA: Giants win, but the lines too close. If I’m craving action on Monday and I’m ahead or need a game to bail myself out (like last week) I’d take the Giants.
