It’s Saturday and it is time to figure out my five picks for contests this week.
Seattle every single week should be favored according to out model. You just never know what you will get in Europe with these games, so I a fading. I think. Seattle is just flat out better and have been, but just like last week, it feels too easy for them to be a dog.
The Dolphins seem to win close games every week and Cleveland may have fixed itself coming off that Bengals win and a bye week. I believe you can throw on Miami and Cleveland will. Browns +3.5 are on my short list for Sunday.
I am not sure the Giants should be favored by more than three over anyone. Yet, here we are. I hate this game, but in one contest, Houston is +6.5, while being +4.5 in real life. Yes, that does not cross any major number the value intrigues me.
Jags catching +8.5 in KC feels odd to me. The Chiefs have struggled to cover big numbers, but there is no way I am backing the Jags after their big comeback last week. Pass.
Denver +2.5 is a play plenty of sharps are on, despite the Titans getting their QB back. Notice the line did not move at this point. You can throw on the Titans; maybe the Broncos fixed their issues. I am passing for not, but have some interest in Denver.
This is a wild spot. In all contests, the Bills are -3.5, but now the Bills are -6.5. I would assume that means Josh Allen is playing. This might be too much value to pass up on the Bills; after all, it is Kirk Cousins on the road against a great team.
The Bears are small 2.5-point favorites at home against the Detroit Lions. The Bears defense is bad, but this is Jared Goff on the road in around freezing weather. I am on Chicago -2.5. I do not care if this is a public spot. I went against Goff in New England outdoors a few weeks ago and I am doing it again Sunday.
I know they have looked awful. I know they cannot score. Just ignore the teams and bet the spot. One team played Monday Night and is now traveling as road favorites. The other team is coming off their bye week and getting back the best player on the team from injury. This is an awful spot for the Saints. I am on the Steelers +2.5. I am even going to go as far and call this the Kenny Pickett break out game.
I have no clue here. No one does. The Raiders should be able to easily beat the Colts, yet I think I am 1-3 in games involving Las Vegas this year. I am running away.
Aaron Rodgers as a home dog feels like a fantastic spot. However, I cannot. The Packers offensive line and lack of weapons will be a massive problem against the Dallas defense. Pass, but I have interest in the Cowboys.
I am going to guess Matt Stafford plays based upon the Rams being favored. Until we get that info in the morning, pass.
The Chargers are bad, but catching over a touchdown seems like a lot for the Niners to cover. I am passing for now.
So here we are. I have two games. I need to find three more by 1 PM tomorrow. I will of course tweet them out.
Until the games start, let’s have some fun and build the pile!
