Lets do it again this week. Still pissed at how bad Tony Homo looked last week, oh well on to week 11.
Raiders +10 (buy 1/2 pt)
I know the Raiders suck but they took the first step in getting better this week by putting Russell on the bench. The team and the franchise for that matter is a mess they have averaged just 8.5 ppg over the last 8 games but this is a great spot for them. The Bengals are coming off one of the biggest wins in a long time with a victory last week at Pittsburgh and if you go back the week before they won vs Baltimore another division rival. The Bengals have just 2 wins this year by more than 7 points and are 0-3 ATS as a fav this year. With Benson most likely out, look for a defensive struggle here, remember the Eagles went west and lost a few weeks ago. I dont think the Bengals lose out right here but would be surprised not to see a close one. Raiders are the play in this one.
Ravens +1
I think this has trap written all over it. Why arent the Colts at least a 3 point fav if not 6 pt fav? Money is flying in on the Colts and the books will lose big if the Ravens dont cover. The Ravens defense has allowed just 24 pts in there last 3 games and should be fired up for this must win game. Five of the Colts nine wins this year are by 4 pts or less and there last three have been by 4,3 and 1. Ravens win a close one.
Cardinals -9.5
This is the blowout game of the day. Dont let the Rams close game vs the Saints last week fool you. The Saints have struggled the last few weeks to stop the run but the Cardinals wont. The Cards rank 7th in the league at stopping the run which is the only hope the Rams have to win this game. On offense Warner is going to be in a comfort zone playing where he had most of his early success in the NFL and facing a Rams team that is one of the worst at getting to the QB. The Cards have covered 7 of there last 9 road games and are 4-0 this year on the road. Cards by 14
Got a couple more but Jake needs a massage, be back in a bit.
