Handicapping by Liz

Well, sad but true, this is the last week of yet another football season. I must admit I am looking forward to the playoffs but doesn’t this season just fly by, while the baseball season drags on and on and on and on. Well, in the final week I really don’t have a good feeling on many games, so here is what I do like in the last week.

My first pick this week is the Tennessee Titans on the road at Seattle giving the Seahawks 4 points. Tennessee has made a remarkable comeback this year and they are 1 game away from going 8-8, and I think they will play to get that win and cover in the process. The Titans are the bet here as they win and cover the 4 points.

My next pick this week is the San Francisco 49ers on the road at St. Louis giving the Rams a touchdown. I think Mr. Singletary will have his team ready here to also get to 8-8, and the Rams are looking forward to putting this season behind them as it has been absolutely horrific. The 49ers are definitely the bet here as they win and cover the 7 points.

My last best bet this week is the San Diego Chargers at home giving the Washington Redskins 4 points. I’m guessing this line is so low because the Chargers will most likely rest players but I just can’t pass up taking San Diego at home giving a team who obviously has packed it in only 4 points. This is my last best bet of this regular season so go Chargers and cover the 4 points.

Other games I like as regular plays are the Minnesota Vikings at home giving the New York Giants 9 points. The Baltimore Ravens on the road giving the Oakland Raiders 10 ½ points. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers minus 3 points on the road at the Dolphins. And finally I like the Chicago Bears on the road at the Detroit Lions giving the Lions 3 points.

As for underdogs this week, I just can’t pass up getting 9 points with the Patriots and also the Colts. I just can’t imagine that Buffalo or Houston will be able to cover that many points. Take the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts with 9 points. I also like Green Bay on the road getting 3½ points from Arizona.

As for over/under bets, I like the
over 47½ in the New York/Minnesota game,
over 38 in the Kansas City/Denver game,
over 39 in the Washington/San Diego game,
over 41 in the Atlanta/Tampa Bay game,
over 44 in the Tennessee/Seattle game.

Well, that’s it for the regular season.
Looking forward to the playoffs and Super Bowl.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read what I had to say :

I’ll back late Sunday night with the rest of my bowl picks for this year.

As always bet with your head not over it.
