Well I don't want to jinx myself but I am currently 5-1 ATS with my best bets and I sure hope I can keep that record going this week. I just wish I didn't talk to people as I just had a feeling the Pats even with their 3rd string qb was going to win especially at home, but I did and it cost me and whoever reads this site, SORRY. I will not let that happen again promise. There are some games this weekend that the lines seem a little off so I hope I am right and not the oddsmakers. So here are my picks for this week in the NFL.
BEST BETS
My FIRST BEST BET is on TAMPA BAY at home spotting the Los Angeles Rams 4 1/2 points. I can't believe that I am backing the Bucs but after watching the Rams pitiful offense I can't help but back the Bucs. Point 1 the Rams have scored 9 points in their first 2 games NINE POINTS. Points 2 the Bucs just got the snot beat out of them last week in Arizona and they have got to be pissed. Point 3, last year the Rams beat the Bucs 31-23 and you know how I feel about revenge games. So there you have it my reasons for backing Tampa Bay. I will lay the 4 1/2 points and make the Bucs my FIRST BEST BET.
My NEXT BEST BET is on the OAKLAND/TENNESSEE going OVER 47. Both of these teams can score and both have quarterbacks that I respect in Carr and Mariota. Tennessee has gone over the total the last 3 home games and Oakland has scored 63 points their first 2 games. So with the total under 7 touchdowns I am backing the over here. I am making the OVER 47 a BEST BET.
My LAST BEST BET is on DALLAS at home giving 6 1/2 points to Chicago. The Bears are in disarray and now have a plethora of injuries to deal with as they take on the Cowboys and Zak Prescott. I watched the Bears Monday night and I think the good thing for them is that Cutler is not playing but for Hoyer he will have his hands full taking on the Dallas defense. I don't see this game as a blowout but I do believe the Boys will win this game easily by double digits, making the 6 1/2 point spread very doable. So I am laying the points and making the Boys my last BEST BET.
REGULAR PLAYS
As for regular plays I like San Diego/Indianapolis game to go over 51. I like Arizona on the road giving 3 points to Buffalo. I like the New York Giants at home giving Washington 3 points. I like the Minnesota/Carolina game to go over 42. And finally I like Pittsburgh on the road giving 3 points to Philadelphia.
Well that's it for this week in the NFL. I will be back next week with my college and pro picks.
And as always - Remember to bet with your head and not over it.
