Hank was a little tired & subdued today. He laments that there is only one game this week where both teams have a winning record. Lot of road faves & home faves giving up a significant # of points. Do you go with the good teams or the other way? Consequently, he was not too excited about the card this week. Still, he has to pick a bunch on a week when he normally would not. Was very undecided about NE/KC on Mon nite.
2 weeks ago was abysmal........last week dismal. Last week 3-6. Season record stands at 43-47-4.
This weeks choices:
BUFF St. L won't be able to get adequate pressure on Bledsoe.
BALT Can't play Dallas and line is a touch high for Balt.
CLEVE Slight lean
PITT Steelers have good rushing O & D. Cinn has given up six 100 yd rushers this season. They have 6 rookies on defense & Pitt is 4-1 their last 5 at Cinn.
CHICAGO Won't spot the 8 and Bears are 15-1 at home vs. the AFC the last 16.
MINN/DET Pass. Lean to under a bit.
ARIZ/CAR Pass
JAX Playing good now & can control the ball to keep Tenn off the field. Titans have 7 starters out. Looking for 3 instead of 3.5, tho.
SF/TAM Pass
N O Very small lean.
SEA/MIA Probably pass......can't lay Miami, Hasselbeck is questionable. Miami is 2-1 ATS after bye week, new coach this week.
SD Good team vs. bad team. SD plays good in Oak, 11 of last 14. (SU or ATS ??)
ATL Covered the last 3 against the Giants who are giving Manning his 1st start this Sunday. Giants won't contain Vick.
WASH/PHIL Pass
G BAY Houston has given up 9 TD passes the last 2 games.......and here comes Favre. The over, too.
NE/KCITY Pass for now, very undecided. ESPN is making him pick the game, tho.
My stabs for his ESPN Picks are: PITT-JAX-SD-ATL-GBAY.
