NFL Picks

This season may be a lot easier then I anticipated. I refrained from making picks and posts due to a personal lack of interest but after watching almost a half a season of very mediocre and uninspiring football I decided to take a shot. With no dominate teams in the league and very few that even fall in to the category of decent I feel pretty confident my ratings will be highly effective.

Here’s a capsule summery of how this works: The list below is the current spread as reported in “USA Today”. Home team is in capitals, the favorite is on the left. To the right of those two teams is the more accurate line with the favored team being the only one listed and a more accurate line. At the end is the differential, the difference between the betting line and the revised line. The bigger the differential, the better the bet. That number is in bold for the day's best bets.

Jacksonville 6 DETROIT………………. Jacksonville 11……….......….5

Tennessee 3 CHICAGO…………………. Tennessee 6………….......…..3

NEW ENGLAND 4 Buffalo…………….. NEW ENGLAND ½….........3 ½

ATLANTA Pk New Orleans ……………ATLANTA ½………........….. ½

NYJETS 8 ST Louis ……………………… NYJETS 16………….........….. 8

MIAMI 8 Seattle ………………………… MIAMI 8……………..........…. 0

MINNESOTA 2 Green Bay …………… Green Bay 4………..........……6

Carolina 9 OAKLAND …………………… Carolina 17………...............….8

SAN DIEGO 14 Kansas City …………… SAN DIEGO 16……...........…2

PITTSBURGH 3 Indianapolis ………… PITTSBURGH 8…….........…5

PHILADELPHIA 3 N.Y. Giants…………N.Y. Giants 2.5…….........…..5 ½

HOUSTON 1 Baltimore ………………… Baltimore 6………...........……7

Monday Night

ARIZONA 9 San Francisco ……………… ARIZONA 13……............…..4

Based on the numbers above, the three Best Bets for the day are the New York Jets, the Carolina Panthers and the Baltimore Ravens. For you action junkies, any team with a five or more point differential also makes a decent play.
