Falcons at Bucs ... 2-7 at 1-8 ! One of the Falcons' wins so far this year was against the Bucs. Many people will most likely be riding the Bucs after their win on MNF, but not me ! The Falcons were competitive in their first 6 games of the year, and in their last 3, they have been up against "hot" teams in the Cardinals at Arizona, the Panthers, and the Seahawks !! The Bucs are still the Bucs !! Give me the Falcons at a pick & over 43.5. Falcons 27, Bucs 21.
Jets at Bills ... The Jets have a Win-Loss pattern going in all games they've played so far this year. They won their last game !! Geno Smith has the same type of pattern going. One game he'll score double digit fantasy points, the next game he doesn't !! In his last game, he DID score double digits !! Today, he will NOT !! I know the Bills will be without WRs Johnson & Woods, but I like Manuel to have a good day scrambling for yards in the Gusty conditions. Give me the Bills +2 & under 40. Bills 20, Jets 13.
Lions at Steelers ... This Steelers defense is not the same as in years past !! In addition, Keisel and Woodley are both doubtful. Give me the Lions -3 & under 45 in the rainy conditions. Lions 24, Steelers 17.
Redskins at Eagles ... The Eagles struggle at home and Foles is due to come back to earth at some point !! Add to that the Skins have the revenge factor of Week 1 MNF where they got their tails kicked, and the bitter taste they have in their mouths after the debacle in Minnesota. Give me the Redskins +4.5 & over 53. Redskins 30, Eagles 24.
Ravens at Bears ... Defense will be the name of the game in this one. Storms with the possibility of some being severe are in the forecast. Give me the Bears -3 & under 42.5. Bears 20, Ravens 16.
Browns at Bengals ... Revenge factor here for the Bengals in the "Battle of Ohio", but I like the Browns to keep it close. Give me the Browns +6 & under 41. Bengals 20, Browns 17.
Raiders at Texans ... Pryor is out for the Raiders, and in his place to start is McGloin. The Texans are just not that good this year. I see them winning, but not by double digits. Give me the Raiders +10 & over 41. Texans 27, Raiders 20.
Cardinals at Jaguars ... The Cardinals are nowhere as good on the road as they are at home. The Jags have some confidence after earning their first win of the season last week at Tennessee. I see the Cards winning it, but not by more than 8. Give me the Jaguars +8 & over 40. Cardinals 24, Jaguars 20.
Chargers at Dolphins ... Toughest game on the card for me to pick. Give me the Dolphins +3 & over 45.5. Dolphins 27, Chargers 24.
Vikings at Seahawks ... This one could get ugly. Vikings are basically one dimensional, and the Seahawks at home have a tendency to just dominate. Today, I think they do !! Give me the Seahawks -13 & over 45.5. Seahawks 34, Vikings 17.
49ers at Saints ... My most confident bet of the day is the Saints -3 !! Saints at home are money !! Give me the Saints -3 & over 49. Saints 31, 49ers 23.
Packers at Giants ... Eli is, well, Eli !! I like Tolzein to keep it close for the Pack. Give me the Packers +6 & over 41. Giants 24, Packers 20.
Chiefs at Broncos ... #1 Defense vs. #1 Offense !! Most intriguing game up to this point in the season !! Possible AFC Championship Game preview !! Offense sales tickets, defense wins games !! I am a homer for the Chiefs, I live in NW MO, but it can't be ignored that Andy Reid has never lost a game as a head coach after a bye when his team is healthy !!! The Chiefs are healthy !! Manning- not so much !! Give me the Chiefs +7.5 & under 49.5. Chiefs 23, Broncos 20 !!!
Patriots at Panthers ... Brady & Hoodie off a bye and a night game !! No brainer here for me !!! Give me the Patriots +1 & over 46. Patriots 30, Panthers 23.
Jets at Bills ... The Jets have a Win-Loss pattern going in all games they've played so far this year. They won their last game !! Geno Smith has the same type of pattern going.
