So here we are in week 10 of the NFL and I am at 500 with my best bets and my regular plays are in the black so all in all not that bad. It is hard when 6 teams go on a bye as it gives us less good choices but I try every week to give you what I think are the best plays of the weekend. So with that being said here are my picks for this week in the NFL.
BEST BETS
My FIRST BEST BET is on NEW ENGLAND at home spotting the Seattle Seahawks 7 points. The Pats are coming off a bye and this is never good news for the opposition as they are 11-2 SU/8-5 ATS with an average score of 29-16. I like the Pats at home against anyone and that includes Seattle who are traveling cross country off a short week for them after playing Monday night. I will lay the points and make the Pats my FIRST BEST BET.
My NEXT BEST BET is on the ATLANTA FALCONS/PHILADELPHIA EAGLES game to go OVER 50. Atlanta is almost scoring at will and their defense won't be much a threat for the Eagles. I don't want to call this a shootout as I think there will be times when the defenses win a few battles but when the final score is posted it will be in the high 50s. I like the over and I am making it my NEXT BEST BET.
My LAST BEST BET is once againt on the DALLAS COWBOYS on the road getting 2 1/2 points from Pittsburgh. Almost every taut sheet I've read has Pitt winning this game and covering. However, I just don't see it an I am backing the Boys here, which is hard being a diehard Giants fan. Dallas is hot and the Steelers are out of sync. You can definitely call this a gut feeling, but I am taking the Boys here and will gladly take the 2 1/2 points and make them my LAST BEST BET.
REGULAR PLAYS
As for regular plays I like the Green Bay/Tennessee game to go over 49. I like the Miami/San Diego game to go over 48. I like Green Bay on the road giving the Tennessee Titans 2 1/2 points. I like the Chicago Bears /Tampa Bay Bucs game to go over 45. And finally I like New York Jets at home giving the Los Angeles Rams a point.
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.
