NFL Week 7 Bettors Guide.

Last Week: 10-4 straight up & 9-5 against the spread.
Overall: 50-24 straight up & 41-33 against the spread.

Not too shabby...let's keep it goin. Gonna be brief this week tho.

Minnesota Vikings (+6) @ Pittsburgh Steelers: You can sense this being a game that the Vikings could win straight up...but it'll go down to a game-winning field goal I believe. Pittsburgh 27 Minnesota 24

New England Patriots (-14.5) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Ha. New England 38 Tampa Bay 14

Indianapolis Colts (-14) @ St. Louis Rams: The Rams won in Week 7 last year at home against the Cowboys BY 20. Something tells me they won't win Sunday. They played hard last week I'll give them that though. Indianapolis 31 St. Louis 13

San Diego Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs (+5): The Chiefs are beasts ATS in divisional games especially at home. San Diego 23 Kansas City 20- OT

San Francisco 49ers @ Houston Texans (-3): The Texans are beginning to feel it on offense. Michael Crabtree makes his debut and will certainly help SF's vertical passing game but you're not gonna outgun the Texans. Houston 34 San Francisco 21

Green Bay Packers (-9) @ Cleveland Browns: The Browns have been playing much better recently and they have covered the last 3 games. That streak ends this Sunday however. Green Bay 27 Cleveland 17

New York Jets @ Oakland Raiders (+6): When this game came out on the schedule for my boys, I marked it as an immediate L just because of our traveling woes west and especially in Oakland. This game is blacked out in Oakland by the way. The Jets are also 0-8 straight up/against the spread in road games in October their last 8 games. Upset of the week. Oakland 14 NY Jets 10

Buffalo Bills @ Carolina Panthers (-7): *Sucks teeth* Carolina 20 Buffalo 7

Atlanta Falcons (+4.5) @ Dallas Cowboys: This is more of a gut pick than anything else. I feel that Matty Ice and the Falcons will get the job done in what will be a very good game. Atlanta 27 Dallas 23

Chicago Bears @ Cincinnati Bengals (PK): Another interesting game that'll probably go down to the wire. The Bengals have more weapons offensively however and should get this job done. Cincinnati 23 Chicago 17

New Orleans Saints (-6.5) @ Miami Dolphins: The Dolphins will get their points running that Wildcat but the Saints are a virtual pinball machine. New Orleans 38 Miami 21

Arizona Cardinals @ New York Giants (-7): Seething over being totally embarrassed in the Bayou, I believe this will be a statement game for the G-Men. Plus, the Cardinals were horrible in their previous Sunday Night Football game. NY Giants 31 Arizona 17

Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Redskins (+7): It's not like the Redskins have been annihilated in their losses (they've lost by 6, 5, 4 and 8) but it's just the embarrassing nature of them (losing to previously winless Detroit, Kansas City and Carolina). They always play the Eagles tough at FedEx and though no victory...will give them some confidence moving forward. Philadelphia 17 Washington 13

And so on.

NFL Week 6 Bettors Guide.

Last Week: 8-6 straight up & 5-9 against the spread
Overall: 40-20 straight up & 32-28 against the spread

Let's pick up the pace here.

Kansas City Chiefs (+6.5) @ Washington Redskins: The Chiefs try hard. The Redskins seemingly don't and they are dreadful this year as favorites. How easy can your schedule possibly be??? The Rams, Lions, Bucs and now Chiefs have combined for OONE win this year (and that was when the Lions beat yall)...Not to mention they allowed for the Panthers to get THEIR first win of the year last week. One of two things will happen: The Skins play uninspired and barely win, or the Chiefs after that close call vs. the Cowboys stun the Skins. I'm leaning towards the latter. Kansas City 17 Washington 14

New York Giants @ New Orleans Saints (-3): A lot is made of how great the Giants are on the road and considering they're the most complete team in the NFL...why are they 3 point underdogs? Both teams basically had byes last week...even if the Giants actually had an opponent and should be rested. This will be the Giants defense's 2nd real test of the year though and they didn't do all too great at Dallas; but the O bailed them out. With Eli not exactly at 100% though I'm not sure if they will this time. New Orleans 28 NY Giants 24

Carolina Panthers (-3) @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers: This doesn't really deserve a write-up. Just know the Bucs are a rudderless ship and the Panthers should run at will. Carolina 24 Tampa Bay 7

Houston Texans (+5) @ Cincinnati Bengals: How do the Bengals do it? They just love to go down to the wire and are as good as it gets in that element. I can see this game being yet another one. Houston has failed twice in the past 3 weeks in that exact situation. But you know what happens in the NFL. *Sings Redemption Song* Houston 27 Cincinnati 24

Baltimore Ravens (+2.5) @ Minnesota Vikings: Brett Favre hasn't fared so well against the Ravens in his career...but this is a shell of the old Ravens' defense. However, the opportunistic yet poor secondary of the Vikings will be in for an interesting show from Flacco & company however and I see the Birds stealing one and giving the Vikes their first L. Baltimore 31 Minnesota 23

Cleveland Browns @ Pittsburgh Steelers (-14): Only thing to be cautious about is that the Steelers are 1-4 ATS and the Browns have covered their last 2 games. Got that? Okay...carry on. Pittsburgh 28 Cleveland 6

St. Louis Rams @ Jacksonville Jaguars (-9.5): You will not see me take the Rams to cover the rest of the year. Jacksonville 27 St. Louis 7

Detroit Lions (+13.5) @ Green Bay Packers: I mean damn we know the Packers can score but it's not as if their defense is all that great...at least not enough to cover. Green Bay 34 Detroit 27

Philadelphia Eagles (-14) @ Oakland Raiders: Are you kidding me? Let's just say I got some free play money and threw it all on this spread. Philadelphia 38 Oakland 10

Arizona Cardinals (+3) @ Seattle Seahawks: A typical NFC West umimpress-fest. Arizona 21 Seattle 17

Tennessee Titans @ New England Patriots (-9): The Pats are gonna be in a rage this week...all in the meantime the Titans are about as uninspired as you can get. NIGHTMARES. New England 31 Tennessee 13

Buffalo Bills (+9.5) @ New York Jets: It's a 415pm game. Bad news for my boys ha. Seething over last week's BS at Miami, our defense will put the clamps down on this talented but confused Bills' offense...but the Bills' defense isn't terrible either. NY Jets 20 Buffalo 13

Chicago Bears @ Atlanta Falcons (-3): This will be a good game...the Falcons got it all together last week in their unexpected blowout at San Francisco and I believe they'll continue the job here. Atlanta 27 Chicago 17

Denver Broncos @ San Diego Chargers (-3): I've underestimated the Broncos far too many times and I will not be fooled this time. This is your classic "let's get up for this game" for the Chargers. San Diego 23 Denver 13

And so on.

FINAL

NFL Week 5 Bettors Guide.

Last Week: 10-4 straight up & 6-8 against the spread.
Overall: 32-14 straight up & 27-19 against the spread.

Minnesota Vikings @ St. Louis Rams (+10): I'm probably buggin here...but the Vikes are comin off of an emotional win on Monday night against the Packers and might take these Lambs for granted. After all, they've only scored 26 points all season and teams have scored 3 defensive TDs on them already. This is not sayin that the Vikes will lose, hell no. I'm just tellin yall to be a little cautious here (see Bengals-Browns last week). Minnesota 24 St. Louis 17

Cincinnati Bengals (+8.5) @ Baltimore Ravens: The over/under of 42 is way too low. Anyhow Vegas doesn't respect the Bengals, but you should. They can keep this game close because the Ravens' defense is a shell of its former self...whilst the Bengals' defense has gotten better. Baltimore 27 Cincinnati 24

Washington Redskins @ Carolina Panthers (-4): *Pukes*. Carolina 20 Washington 9

Pittsburgh Steelers (-10.5) @ Detroit Lions: If Polamalu comes back...look out. The way Pitt was able to gash the Chargers on D, they should have absolutely no problem doing so with Detroit's D. They do need to work on their propensity to sleep in the 2nd half of games but they'll be fine. Pittsburgh 31 Detroit 10

Dallas Cowboys (-8) @ Kansas City Chiefs: The Cowboys have become that team that can feast on vastly inferior competition...but when the going gets tough, they come up short. They'll get the job done Sunday without much of an issue. Dallas 27 Kansas City 17

Oakland Raiders @ New York Giants (-15.5): We got some HUGE spreads this week and this one is the biggest. I don't care though if Eli plays or not, Oakland not only is traveling out east to face arguably the league's best D, but they have Jamarcus Russell. Keep in mind they only scored SIX against the Texans' D. SIX. Oy. NY Giants 31 Oakland 3

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Philadelphia Eagles (-15): This will be pretty similar to the Chiefs game in week 3 for these Eagles. Sure their D isn't all that anymore but who are the Bucs on offense? Philadelphia 34 Tampa Bay 14

Cleveland Browns (+6) @ Buffalo Bills: The Bills are a team that looks completely out of sync. The past 2 weeks they've been outscored 65-17 and it has not looked pretty. Cleveland nearly pulled off the upset last week and although they had a shakeup trading Braylon Edwards...it might actually be for the best. The Browns came to Buffalo last year and stole one. Deja vu. Cleveland 21 Buffalo 17

Atlanta Falcons @ San Francisco 49ers (-2.5): The Falcons just don't travel all that well. The 49ers are just solid in all phases and get the job done once again at home in what should be a close game between two evenly matched squads. San Francisco 21 Atlanta 17

Jacksonville Jaguars (+1) @ Seattle Seahawks: I'm tired of underestimating the Jaguars and overestimating the Seahawks so here goes. Jacksonville 24 Seattle 14

Houston Texans @ Arizona Cardinals (-5.5): This will be a shootout for the ages. Both defenses have looked awful while both offenses have been lighting it up and you will get to see two of the premiere WRs in the game in Andre Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. The Cards coming off of a bye should be the fresher team and will need to get back to form in order to be taken seriously. Arizona 38 Houston 30

New England Patriots (-3) @ Denver Broncos: I still don't take the Broncos seriously even after that come from behind win over Dallas. These two teams always seem to play each other. Should also be interesting with Belichick and Josh McDaniels squaring off with each other...surprised that ESPN hasn't built that up more ha. This will be Denver's first true test on defense and they will fail. Of course however, I don't mind if I'm wrong. New England 27 Denver 13

Indianapolis Colts @ Tennessee Titans (+3.5): You see a 4-0 team at an 0-4 team and yet the undefeated team is only favored by this much? Easy win right? Ehh...the Titans always play the Colts really tough whether at home or away and although Peyton Manning has been nothing short of amazing, somehow and someway I am gonna call an upset. Tennessee 23 Indianapolis 20

New York Jets (-1.5) @ Miami Dolphins: My guys are 5-18 straight up in non 1pm games since 2006. They do however get the job done at Landshark Stadium, winning their last three there. The last time a Rex Ryan D faced the Dolphins, the Ravens absolutely stifled them and their wildcat in the postseason and I expect Sanchez & Co. to bounce back against a tough Dolphins D. NY Jets 20 Miami 10

FINAL

NFL Week 4 Bettors Guide.

Last Week: 11-5 straight up; 10-6 against the spread.
Overall: 22-10 straight up; 21-11 against the spread.

Cincinnati Bengals (-6) @ Cleveland Browns: You would expect a letdown from the Bengals after that emotional come from behind win over the Steelers. But these are the Browns we're talkin about here. Derek Anderson gives the Browns a better chance to score...but that's about it ha. Cincinnati 24 Cleveland 7

Detroit Lions (+10) @ Chicago Bears: The Lions are lookin to build a winning streak! They won't do it here, but with their new-found confidence I expect it to be somewhat close. The Bears are a team that doesn't scare me. Chicago 27 Detroit 21

Oakland Raiders @ Houston Texans (-8.5): The Texans' defense is pretty bad- especially against the run- and if Oakland isn't forced to pass then all bets are off. But even with Nmandi Ashomuga locked in on Andre Johnson, the Texans have too many weapons on offense and should get the job done. Houston 31 Oakland 13

Seattle Seahawks @ Indianapolis Colts (-10): Seattle is an atrocious traveling team. If this game was at 4:15 I'd have them covering but Indianapolis is gonna have a field day, even without Dwight Freeney. Indianapolis 34 Seattle 10

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+7.5) @ Washington Redskins: I mean when you looked at the schedule and you see the Rams, Lions and Bucs all in a row, you should salivate. But these Redskins are pretty awful themselves. Anyhow, this game is gonna be another brutal one to watch. Washington 10 Tampa Bay 9

Tennessee Titans (-3) @ Jacksonville Jaguars: This game is gonna be blacked out in Jacksonville, which is a shame. I just can't see the Titans start out 0-4...but this will be a close game per usual in this AFC South rivalry. Tennessee 20 Jacksonville 14

New York Giants @ Kansas City Chiefs (+8.5): This is one of those games where I can see the Giants sleepwalking and keeping the Chiefs in the game for much longer than they should. The Chiefs try hard. New York 24 Kansas City 17

Baltimore Ravens @ New England Patriots (-1.5): The fact that the over/under is 44.5 is laughable because both defenses just aren't the same as they used to be. Can someone say shootout? New England 31 Baltimore 28

Buffalo Bills (pick'em) @ Miami Dolphins: Ehhhh. Buffalo 20 Miami 10

New York Jets (+7) @ New Orleans Saints: GAME OF THE WEEK. Where's the respect from Vegas for my boys? I understand the Saints average 40ppg but they have yet to face a respectable defense. Drew Brees has the weapons to dissect teams, but how will the offensive line fare in their first test? The Jets have already shut down 2 powerful offenses in Houston and New England and while they won't shut down the Saints...they should contain them. I am picking the upset. New York 27 New Orleans 17

St. Louis Rams @ San Francisco 49ers (-9.5): The Niners will take out their frustrations here and do so with a vengance. San Francisco 34 St. Louis 9

Dallas Cowboys (-3) @ Denver Broncos: Okay Denver, you're facing a real offense now. Dallas 24 Denver 13

San Diego Chargers (+6.5) @ Pittsburgh Steelers: Truthfully I would avoid this game at all costs but hey I have to make a selection right? Pittsburgh 23 San Diego 17

Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings (-3): It's gonna be a fun game to watch. Green Bay usually has nightmares at the dome and the Vikings have a ton of momentum. Minnesota 31 Green Bay 21.

And so on.
