After going an underwhelming 4-6, I am back at it again this week. I did hit many of my most confident picks, but no excuses play like a champ, lets roll.
Overall: 4-6
My picks are made in order of confidence. 1 most confident, 10 least confident.
1.) Atlanta @ Pittsburgh (-3,58)
The Pick: over 58
Atlanta heads into Pitt with one of the only Offenses that could be compared to the Steelers this year. Expect points and a lot of them. Atlanta has the most banged up defense in the NFL to start the year and the Steelers defense is…. well I have no clue about the Steelers defense, which tells me all I need to know… Over, book it!
2.) Green Bay @ Detroit (pk,51)
The Pick: GB pk
Aaron Rodgers is finally getting healthy and the Detroit offensive line continues to look average at best. Packers thump Detroit.
3-4.) Jacksonville @ Kansas City (-3,49)
The Pick: Jax +3 and under 49
In what is surely to be the best game of the week Jax heads into KC with hopes of containing Kermit Patrick Mahomes and the exciting KC offense. I think the Jags give a inexperienced Mahomes issues this week and the KC offense comes crashing back to earth.
5.) Miami @ Cincinnati ( +6, 48.5)
The Pick: Miami +6
It was only one short week ago where the world was ready to suck Miami’s Dolphin. Now, less than one week later after a loss to a Patriot’s team that was out for blood the Dolphins have quickly fallen. I don’t buy it!! Miami may lose this game outright, but at +6 it is a very confident bet.
6.) Arizona @ San Francisco (-4,40)
The Pick: under 40
Rookie Josh Rosen and SF QB CJ Bethard. enough said. This game could be under 0, if possible.
7.) Oakland @ LA Chargers (52.5, -5)
The Pick: Over 52.5
Oakland Can not seem to figure it out under new coach John Gruden, however they have been putting up the points as of late. Phillip Rivers and the boys always put up their share of points. Look for a shoot out in the LA sun.
8.) Denver @ NY Jets (pk, 42.5)
The Pick: Denver pk.
It is unreasonable that Denver would not be a favorite in this game. Rookie Sam Darnold has not figured it out yet and that does not happen this week with Bradley Chubb and Von Miller coming his way. I would love to put this much higher, however I believe it is to obvious, which leads me to think Vegas knows something I do not.
9.) Indianapolis @ New England (-10.5,50)
The Pick: NE -10.5
My most confident pick from last week and a winner gets a Indy team without both their starting RB and stud WR T.Y Hilton. New England embarrasses the Colts.
10.) Baltimore @ Cleveland (+3,45.5)
The Pick: Browns +3
I believe in the Browns…….I want to……. Browns and Baker take care of business and win outright. Maybe…. Prob not….
This week I will introduce my Bonus Pick. I will pick my most confident NCAA game of the week:
#5LSU @ #22 Florida (+2,43.5)
The Pick: Gators +2
In college football nothing carries weight like home field advantage. The swamp will be bumping.
