NFL Picks

The Eagles humiliated the Redskins and popular opinion says Micheal Vick is the greatest quarterback that ever lived. I'd love to say I saw that coming but to be real, I just knew the Eagles were a much better team and that Vick is a very capable quarterback. In the right hands, he can be a very dominate force. Unfortunately for him, his coach is Andy Reid. Plainly the man is an idiot. Anyone with a spoonful of brains would have sat Vick down at some point (middle of the fourth quarter, anyone?) to just protect him. In any case, this proves a point I wanted to make. The odds-lines are well out-of-whack. Drubbing a hopeless team doesn't make the Eagles Super Bowl favorites quite yet. Right now they're 3 point favorites over yesterday's hot team, the New York Giants. The same three points they gave to Washington. So what could be wrong with this picture?

As far as "Best Bets" or some such designation goes, this game ain't one. It's actually dead even, with a slight edge going to the Giants. Both coaches are pretty darn lucky despite themselves but, over all, New York has the edge. If I was betting this game I'd have to take the points.

I'll be posting the better options in a couple days.
