Well I am starting this post 1-0 SU and ATS as I had a best bet on the New England Patriots Thursday night and they delivered for me in spades, beating the Dolphins 36-7. There are a few games I do like this week so here are the rest of my picks for week 8 in the NFL.
BEST BETS
My NEXT BEST BET this week is on the CAROLINA PANTHERS at home giving the Indianapolis Colts 7 points on Monday night, I bet the NFL is high fiving each other putting this game on Monday night. The Colts can't win at home and they certainly are not going to win on the road against the red hot undefeated Carolina Panthers. Mr. Luck seems to be running out of luck this year while Mr. Newton can't seem to do anything wrong. And here is a stat the Panthers have now won 10 straight regular seasons games and have covered 9 of them, not even the Pats or Packers can say that. I have no problem AT ALL laying the touchdown here and making the Panthers my next BEST BET of the week.
My NEXT BEST BET is on the CHICAGO BEARS at home getting 2 1/2 points from the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings won their first road game last week beating Detroit and now they are on the road again to face a rested Bears team coming off a bye. Minny is 1-6 ATS the last 7 games in Chicago and 3-8 ATS the last 11 games between these two. I feel that the Bears just have the Vikes number and will show it again this weekend despite having Cutler quarterback for them. LOL I do like getting points with the Bears at home so I will make them my next BEST BET for this week.
My LAST BEST BET this week is on the SEATTLE SEAHAWKS on the road giving 4 1/2 points to the Dallas Cowboys. The Boys are not having fun without Romo but Dez is coming back from a broken bone in his foot it's just too bad Cassel won't be able to get him the ball because he will be running from the Seattle pass rush. Of course then there's the problem of stopping the Hawks offense which started to look like an offense last week scoring 20 on SF. Dallas has lost its last 4 and I don't see that changing much this week. I just can't see Dallas in this game so I will lay the points and make the Seahawks my last BEST BET of the week.
REGULAR PLAYS
As for regular plays I like Baltimore at home giving San Diego 3 points. I also like St. Louis at home giving San Francisco 7 1/2 points. And finally I like the OVER 43 in the Jets/Raiders game, the OVER 44 in the Lions/Chiefs game (Sunday morning in London) and the OVER 50 in the Chargers/Ravens game.
Well that's it for this week in the NFL...
And as always - Remember to bet with your head and not over it.
