NFL Picks

I ended up 4-4 last week when I should have been, at the very least, 4-3 and if I would have followed my original advice, I could have been 5-2. Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Instead, I’m now 43-34-1 on the year. I should have passed on the Pittsburgh game like I said I was, and those twenty point spreads are ludicrous in the NFL. They may work for college, but when the big boys play it’s just nuts.

At this point in the season the lines tighten up so I need to loosen up my criteria. Besides, unless I start sweeping a bunch of days, my stats will hardly be impressive. Here goes:

JACKSONVILLE 10½ Carolina: This game is a lot closer to even then it is to this screwy line. Take the Panthers as BEST BET ONE!

Dallas 10 DETROIT: I have Dallas +8.5…PASS.

BUFFALO 7 Miami: I make the Bills –2.5. PASS.

PHILADELPHIA 3 N.Y Giants: I suppose the Eagles are getting points because it’s a home game. I make it even. PASS.

GREEN BAY 11 Oakland: That’s what I’d make it, more or less. Farve is too big a question this week, so PASS.

NEW ENGLAND 10½ Pittsburgh: I make it 9 ½ and can’ say I disappointed. This is another PASS.

TENNESSEE PK San Diego: Really? I make the Chargers +5 ½. I have to make this PASS.

CINCINNATI 8 St Louis: Bengals +6. Another PASS.

Tampa Bay 2½ HOUSTON: I make it Tampa +6.5. No big enough for a play. PASS.

SEATTLE 6½ Arizona: I make it Seattle –5 ½. PASS.

Minnesota 8 SAN FRANCISCO: I make the Vikings +13. PASS.

Cleveland 3½ N.Y JETS: Close enough for me to PASS.

DENVER 6½ Kansas City: Too close. PASS.

Indianapolis 9½ BALTIMORE: I make Indy +16 and my SECOND BEST BET.

Monday Night

New Orleans 4 ATLANTA: I make the Saints 10 ½ point favorites. BEST BET THREE.

Only three BEST BETS so I have to stretch myself. Here goes, I’m adding the Chargers and Tampa Bay to my picks four a FIVE BEST BET TOTAL.
