NFL Week 9 Bets of the Week.

Last Sunday I went 6-1 in my overall bets. I won $125 off of a 5-team parlay which included:
Redskins -7
Saints +3
Ravens -6.5
Panthers -3.5
Eagles -7

I also correctly picked Seattle +5.5 over San Francisco (which to be perfectly honest with you I had no idea why SF was even favored). The one game I missed was Tampa Bay +1.5 over Dallas (although they were 19 yards away from victory hah...they lost by 4).

This week I decided to attempt a 7-teamer with these following games and why I feel I should dominate once again (if the Gambling Gods allow for it which as usual is highly unlikely):

Houston Texans @ Minnesota Vikings (-4.5): The Vikes need to salvage their season and this is a game they need to have, especially having 2 weeks to think about their debacle at Chicago giving up 48 points. Final Score: Minnesota 21 Houston 14

Baltimore Ravens (+1.5) @ Cleveland Browns: You never know which Browns' team is gonna show up and the Ravens' D is as good as anyone's in the biz. Final Score: Baltimore 17 Cleveland 13

Detroit Lions @ Chicago Bears (-12.5): To be fair, the Lions have played much better the last couple of weeks but they don't matchup well against the Bears at all. Not to mention you have to compund this with a Bears' D which is not happy about letting the Vikes go roughshod on them allowing 41 even though they won. Final Score: Chicago 28 Detroit 10

New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills (-5.5): I don't like betting against my team but let's be real, Buffalo has the Jets' number, especially at Orchard Park. Final Score: Buffalo 24 NY Jets 14

Jacksonville Jaguars (-7.5) @ Cincinnati Bengals: The Jags are such a pain in the ass to bet on because they are as schizo as it gets in the NFL. With that being said however, this Bengals' team is simply a mess that cannot be fixed right now. Ryan Fitzpatrick has been awful, their defense in turn gets demoralized and it's overall just bad. Even Jacksonville's D game would be enough for them to cover. Final Score: Jacksonville 24 Cincinnati 3

Dallas Cowboys (+8) @ New York Giants: This is the classic trap game especially Vegas-wise. Giants coming off an impressive interconference road victory over the Steelers, while the Cowboys struggled against a good Tampa Bay team (but emerging victorious). While the Cowboys are without Tony Romo, for some reason or another the Giants don't tend to do well when they're the favorite at home, especially such a big favorite like this in a division rivalry. It's too fishy to me. Final Score: NY Giants 27 Dallas 20

Philadelphia Eagles (-6.5) @ Seattle Seahawks: Seattle had a morale-building victory last week @ San Francisco but let's be real...Philly is much better. Also, if Lofa Tapultu (or however you spell that LB's name) doesn't play because of his groin injury, it's gonna be a long day for Seattle's defense and Philly shouldn't have a problem covering, let alone winning this one. Final Score: Philadelphia 31 Seattle 14

And so on.
