Hi, Moose the Greek here.  I am filling in for Liz this week as she vacations in Arizona.  I have three NFL Picks this week.  So here you go….    GOOD LUICK !!!!!

    I like three home teams, two favs and one dog in week nine.

    My first and Best Bet is the SAN FRAN 49ers getting 2.5 from the Arizona Cardinals.   It is a division matchup between two bad teams.  Both teams give up allot of points.  Both teams are going nowhere in the playoffs, and both teams are struggling on offense.  So I like SF because they are due, they have some good talent, they are home, and it’s a gut feeling.   So it is SF +2.5……

    My second bet is a strong play on the NEW ORLEAN SAINTS giving 6.5 to Tampa Bay.  Again a division game but with two teams on different paths.  The Saints are playing good and their defense is much improved.  The Bucs look good on paper but have not put it together on the field.  The Saints at home will handle Winston and future Hall Of Famer Drew Brees will throw a few td’s.  So it is NO -6.5…….     

    My final bet is……….  The SEATTLE SEAHAWKS giving 7 to the Washington Redskins.  Seattle at home is tough.  They are coming off a barn burner win and the Skins are coming off a loss in a game they desperately needed.  Seattle is on the way up and Washington is looking at a bad season with a tough schedule.  Russell Wilson is a cool dude and a very exciting player.  They will handle the skins.   So it is Seattle -7……

That is it for me this week.  Enjoy the games and as an old friend used to tell me, “ DOUBLE UP TO CATCH UP. “       The GREEK has spoken….         

And as always - Remember to bet with your head and not over it.
