Skipped last week but I am back with some more bets. I am getting ready to turn things around now! The week sauce start to the season is over! Now that we have 6 games of tape on teams we can start to be more confident about what they are and what to expect.
IDK if I plan to place any actual bets this year but if I were now is the time when I would actually start to consider it. Of course the later the better but at this point it is more safe than it would have been. From now on I will name 6 bets I like. As my confidence grows I might name more.
Patriots - 2 @ Bears - This is a virtual pick em. I think the Pats start to roll and win this game. If I believe they will win I may as well take the 2 points.
KC - 6 @ Bengals - KC just came off a tough loss and are poised to have a nice solid win. The Bengals offense has been doing well but frankly I just look at the talent they have and they are clearly playing above their heads. I like KC to cover.
Rams @ SF - O/U 52.5 - SF hasn't been as good as i thought they would be but they have managed to score well in all but one of their games in which their new QB has played in. I don't see why they shouldn't drop 21 while the Rams feast on a so-so D.
Taking the over all day.
Vikings -3 @ Jets - Vikings need to have this game. 3 points isn't quiet a virtual pickem but almost. I would love it at 2.5 though. The Vikings are too good to stay down much longer. I they go 3-3-1 they give themselves an uphill climb. No way the let the Jets off the hook in a much needed win. They will come out and establish themselves as an NFC team to take seriously as the season moves towards the midpoint.
Lions -1 @ Dolphins - Do you really believe the Dolphins can go 5-2? really? No chance. The Lions are inconsistent and not good but I just don't believe a team that has caught the breaks the dolphins have recently in some of their wins keep getting them. The ball bounces the other way this time. Give me the Lions all day.
Jacksonville - 4 @ Houston - Jacksonville has the ability to be one of the best teams in the NFL when they have their head on right. At 3-3 their back is against the wall. Houston isn't that good. This is a scales balancing out game. A hot team that has been lucky and played over its head goes down to a good team which has underwhelmed.
I realize I am picking against 5 home teams but what can you do? It is that kind of week! Here starts my comeback!
