Comments:
Writer | Comment |
Erickson | Back to the well with the Bears again; the Ravens offense is a big mess, and I don't think their pass rush will work nearly as well on the road... If the sharps are right, the Chiefs are set up for the fall. Of course, all bets are off if Manning doesn't play. Broncos are my second best bet... Feel pretty weird, taking so many favorites, but there you are. |
Pianowski | Ron Jaworski was the star in Philly's last home win. |
Liss | I think the Texans will take out their frustrations on the Raiders this week. Other than that, the decisions on the Bucs, Browns and Saints were fairly obvious for me, but it's a suspicious obvious. Not enough suspicion to change the picks, but it's always off-putting when you don't have to think about it much. |
Stopa | I get to sell the Jaguars high? That's possible? Sign me up. Massey-Peabody says AZ is 13 points better on a neutral field anyway... The Jets have been an awful matchup for the Bills in recent years, including earlier this season. The Texans are laying seven having lost seven straight games. That math doesn't add up... I'm surprised the Saints aren't laying 3.5 at home. |
Del Don | To go along with the Broncos, my two other favorite bets this week are the Buccaneers and Saints. |
