Here we are in week 4 already, boy football season goes much too fast. I'm still trying to figure out what teams are going to be worth betting on a regular basis. We know that Jacksonville is not one of them. As a matter of fact I have a friend who lives in the Jacksonville area and when they put the Jags game on they actually apologize for it. I'm pretty sure that will be happening soon for the Giants game. LOL Anyway I'm still trying to get in the black and unfortunately I didn't post the 49ers on Thursday which I could kick myself in the butt for. Here are my picks for this week in the pros. I have only 2 best bets as I find this week rather difficult to handicap.
My first best bet this weekend should be no surprise it is the DENVER BRONCOS at home spotting the Philadelphia Eagles 10 1/2 points. If there is anybody out there that doesn't think this is a gift from the football gods let me know. Peyton and the Broncos are on fire this year and being home just makes them that much better a pick. No stats are needed here as we have seen both of these teams play and right now Denver is as much in sync as the Eagles are out of sync. I'm sure Chip Kelly is realizing now that you can run a much faster offense in the college ranks than you can in the pros. Sorry Chip but I am making the Denver Broncos a BEST BET.
My last best bet is on the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS at home giving the Miami Dolphins 6 1/2 points on Monday night. These 2 teams only play each other every 4 years so there is not much to go on but when you compare QBs well no disrespect to Tannyhill he is a very very good quarterback but he is no Drew Brees, so score a point for the Saints. This is Miami's third road game in 4 weeks while the Saints will be home 3 out of the 4 weeks, another point for the Saints. The Dolphins defense has given up 53 points in the first 3 games while the Saints have given up only 38, check to the Saints. To add another point you must factor in the noise of a dome and you've got the New Orleans Saints as a BEST BET.
As for regular plays I like the Indianapolis Colts on the road at Jacksonville to cover the 9 1/2 points, and I like the Cincinnati Bengals on the road at Cleveland giving the Browns 3 1/2 points.
My underdog plays this week are the New England Patriots on the road at Atlanta getting a point, the Chicago Bears on the road at Detroit getting 3 points and finally the San Diego Chargers at home getting a point from the Cowboys. (Sorry BJay)
My over/under plays for this week are - Chicago Bears/Detroit Lions over the 47 1/2, Washington Redskins/Oaklan Raiders over 43 1/2, and last but not least the Philadelphia Eagles/Denver Broncos over 57 1/2.
Well that's it for this weekend and as always,
Remember to bet with your head and not over it.

I think it will take me most of the rest of the football season to get over the beating the Giants took on Sunday from Carolina, sad so sad. Anyway on a brighter note, I don't think any team in the NFC East will have to win more than 7 games to win the division so the Giants still have hope. Well enough about the G-men below are my stats after 3 weeks into the NFL and boy did I pick the wrong underdogs last weekend.
WEEK 3 NFL STATS
BEST BETS 1-2 ATS and 1-2 SU
Regular Plays 1-1 ATS and 1-1 SU
Underdogs 0-3 ATS and 0-3 SU
Over/Unders 1-2 ATS
NFL OVERALL STATS
BEST BETS 4-5 ATS and 6-3 SU
Regular Plays 2-4-1 ATS and 4-3 SU
Underdogs 1-6-1 ATS and 0-8 SU
Over/Unders 5-4 ATS
Well that's all for week 3 in the NFL. I will be back on Thursday if I have a pick on the pro game if not I will post my NFL picks on Saturday. Thanks again for visiting the website.

Well it certainly was a nice week 2 for me going 3-0 ATS with my best bets. I must admit though I find this week to be rather tough and interesting at the same time. Big spreads, little spreads, lines are all over the board this week but I have come up with a few best bets. So without further delay here are my picks for week 3 in the NFL.
My first best bet this weekend is on the MINNESOTA VIKINGS at home spotting the Cleveland Browns 6 1/2 points. How can you not take the Vikes here as Weeden is out, Trent Richardson is on his way to Indy and the Browns have scored 16 points in their first 2 games. To top it off the Vikings are playing their first home game of the season coming home after 2 devasting losses on the road. I see absolutely no way the Browns are gong to be in this game. I am making the Minnesota Vikings a BEST BET.
My next best bet is on the SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS at home giving the Indianapolis Colts 10 points. I know this is a lot of points to be laying for a team that just got the snot beat out of them but watching Harbaugh over the years I just know he is going to have the 49ers all amped up for this game and they will take out their frustrations on the Colts, not a good road team and this is their first road game of the year. I like the 49ers here as a BEST BET.
My last best bet is on the SEATTLE SEAHAWKS at home giving a whopping 19 points to the Jacksonville Jaguars. This is a HUGE line but Seattle is unstoppable at home and the Jags are currently 0-4 ATS on the road and are trying to avoid their 8th straight road loss, it won't happen this week. MJD if he plays will be playing hurt and their WR Blackmon is still on suspension and to top it off Henne will be qbing again for the Jags. The Jags also did not go home after last week's game against Oakland so they have been on the road for 2 weeks. As for stats here's one for you, the Hawks have allowed a league best 10 points per game and the Jags have the lowest offense points per game with 11, I don't see anything bending there. There could always be the possiblity of a backdoor cover in this game afterall these are pros, but the Seahawks as they showed last week are unbelieveable at home. I think the bookies just want you to take the points but this lady is taken the chalk. I am making Seattle my last BEST BET.
As for regular plays I like Green Bay on the road at Cincinnati to cover the 2 1/2 points, and I like Chicago on the road at Pittsburgh giving the Steelers a point.
My underdog plays this week are the New York Giants on the road at Carolina getting a point, the Atlanta Falcons on the road at Miami getting a point and finally the Buffalo Bills on the road getting a point from the Jets. I think this is the first time I can ever remember liking 3 underdogs all getting just a point. Yes this week is tough.
My over/under plays for this week are - New York Giants/Carolina Panthers over the 46 1/2, Indianapolis Colts/San Franscisco 49ers over 46, and on Monday night the Oakland Raiers/Denver Broncos over 48 1/2.
Well that's it for this weekend and as always,
Remember to bet with your head and not over it.

Well I am happy to report that I swept the board with my pro best bets this weekend going 3-0 ATS. However, if you are a Giants fan like I am this season is going to be very taxing as they got smacked by the Broncos on Sunday in their own house. Well enough about the disappointing Giants below are my weekly and overall stats.
WEEK TWO NFL STATS
BEST BETS 3-0 ATS and 2-1 SU
Regular Plays 1-1-1 ATS and 3-0 SU
Underdogs 0-2 ATS and 0-2 SU
Over/Unders 2-1 ATS
NFL OVERALL STATS
BEST BETS 3-3 ATS and 5-1 SU
Regular Plays 1-3-1 ATS and 3-2 SU
Underdogs 1-3-1 ATS and 0-5 SU

Well that's it for week 2 in the NFL. I will be back on Thursday if I have a pick in the Kansas City/Philadelphia game if not I will post my NFL picks sometime on Saturday. Thanks for visiting the website, come back again.

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.
