NFL Picks

Obviously if the was actually honesty and integrity in the NFL this week's lines would be obvious but, surprise surprise, things aren't as they should be in an honest world. Don't even try and hint that the NFL isn't mightily influenced by the gambling world. This weekend's lines are proof positive. Nobody's throwing any games or shaving points this week. This stuff is for real. So here goes:

CINCINNATI BENGALS 2½ New York Jets: Who didn't see this coming? Didn't the Jets just stomp the Bengals last week? How come they're getting points now? The Jets don't impress me but Cincinnati rolled-over so badly and showed such a total disregard for themselves and the game that there's no chance they can rebound. They'll fold up again since quitting has firmly been implanted in their nature. Sure, they took the money, cashed a few bets themselves, but now they're covered in loser stink. I make the Jets a 6 point favorite and a Best Bet!

DALLAS COWBOYS 4 Philadelphia Eagles: See the above. The Eagles are the Cowboys bitches and were beaten mercilessly last week by them. The line is based in some reality but the Cowboys will once again beat them. My gut says it'll be even more embarrassing then last week, but my numbers say this is a pass.


NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 3 Baltimore Ravens: I don't care who's hurt, etc. this is a dead even game. Play it at your own risk. The Patriots are Brady and the Ravens are as inconsistent as they come. Pass.

ARIZONA CARDINALS 1 Green Bay Packers: The "Pack" pounded the crap out of the "Cards" last time. No reason at all why Green Bay won't win by at least seven and that makes them a Best Bet.

Two out of four games are Best Bets. I suggest a parlay to maximize your profits. The teams that played it safe and folded will find they overrated themselves and will be reliving last week's nightmare. Don't be fooled.
