Well I come into the weekend with 1 win and 2 losses from Thanksgiving, as Detroit lost and the Washington game did not go over but the Skins did win and cover.  So here are my picks for this rest of this week  in the NFL.

BEST BETS

My FIRST BEST BET is on the PHILADELPHIA EAGLES at home giving the Chicago Bears 13 points. I will stay on this bandwagon until the Eagles give me a reason not to. To make my point clearer the Eagles haven't lost a game since September and the Bears haven't won a game in a month. I can't see any other way to pick this game and I will make the Eagles my FIRST BEST BET.

My NEXT BEST BET is on the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS/LOS ANGELES RAMS game to go OVER 53. The Rams are back home after a dismal offensive showing in Minnesota where they scored a whole 7 points. I look for them to do much better against the Saints defense. I also expect Brees and company to put up a bunch of points as well. I love this over which should be either over or within reach before the 4th quarter starts, so  I am making the over my NEXT BEST BET.

My NEXT BEST BET is on the PITTSBURGH STEELERS at home giving the Green Bay Packers 13 points. How far have the Packers fallen without their leader Aaron on the field, and now their defensive leader Clay Matthews is doubtful for this game. I don't know if the Pack have packed it in or not but the Steelers are on a 5 game win streak SU and have won 4 ATS. I like Pitt at home and I am making them my NEXT BEST BET.

REGULAR PLAYS

As for regular plays I already had a loss with the over 44 1/2 in the New York Giants/Washington game on Thursday and Detroit lost as well. I did have a win on Washington at home giving 7 points to the New York Giants. I like the Carolina Panthers on the road giving 4 points to the New York Jets. Finally I like the New England Patriots at home giving 16 points to the Miami Dolphins.

Well that's it for the this week in the NFL. I will be back next week with more college and pro picks.

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