It certainly showed in the Pats/Jets game that your qb is only as good as his receivers and that definitely was true for Tom Brady in this game as he and his receivers were not on the same page and when they were they dropped the ball. Well for me it was back to the drawing board this week trying to find pro games that I felt totally confident about, so here is what I came up with.

My first best bet this week is on the BALTIMORE RAVENS at home against the Cleveland Browns laying 6 1/2 points. Yes I know that the Ravens looked like the bad news bears (no offense to Bear fans) in Denver but if you got to see any of the Browns game you know that they were out of sync too. Now the Ravens have their first home game of the season and to lose to the Browns would put Raven fans over the top, so throw out the stats on this game, although alot of them favor the Browns, I look for the proud Ravens to come out with a chip on their shoulder and take it to the Browns for their awful showing last week.  I am taking the Ravens minus the points as a BEST BET.

My next best bet, and I believe I have never picked them before as a best bet, but it is the OAKLAND RAIDERS at home spotting the Jacksonville Jaguars 5 1/2 points. I did get to see a little of both these games last week and MJD was not himself and this week gets a little worse for him and the Jaguars as since MJD has been on the team they are 0-4 SU against west coast teams and MJD has gotten a total of 146 yards on 41 carries in those 4 games, not impressive. Oakland on the other hand played very well against a Colts team everyone I know took over the Raiders and of course we all lost. This week I'm going to take the Oakland Raiders as a BEST BET and may the force be with us. 

My last best bet this weekend is actually on an underdog as I am taking the DALLAS COWBOYS on the road getting 3 points from the Kansas City Chiefs. Yes I know Andy Reid knows Dallas very well and yes I know the Boys really only won last week due to the 6 turnovers the Giants made and yes I know the Chiefs dismantled the Jaguars last week and finally yes I know this is Reid's first home game as the Chiefs coach. BUT are the Chiefs really all the way back, my answer is no, are the Cowboys the better team here overall, my answer is yes. So I am making the Dallas Cowboys my last BEST BET of the weekend.

As for regular plays I like the Atlanta Falcons at home spotting the St. Louis Rams 6 points.  I also like the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night at home spotting the Pittsburgh Steelers 7 points.  Finally I like the New Orleans Saints on the road at the Tampa Bay Bucs giving them 3 points.

As for underdogs I like the San Francisco 49ers on the road getting 3 points from the Seattle Seahawks. I also like the New York Giants at home getting 4 1/2 points from the Denver Broncos in the Manning Bowl. 

Over/Unders are still hard to handicap but I will continue to give it a go. I like the Detroit/Arizona game to go over 47 1/2, I like the Minnesota/Chicago game over 42 and finally I like the Denver/New York Giants game over 55. 

Well that's it for my pro picks, let's make some money this week.

As always, remember to bet with your head and not over it.
