Week 9 of the NFL and I had another great week with my best bets going 3-0 ATS and SU. I hope to do as well this weekend. I just hope the Giants don’t get beat up too bad today as the Patriots are not in a very good mood. Will another winless team win this weekend, only time will tell. Also I am sorry for the lateness in these picks but I got caught up in the Alabama/LSU game and just lost track of time. Well onto my picks for this week in the NFL.

 

My first best bet this week is on the SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS on the road giving the Washington Redskins 3 ½ points. The 49ers are red hot and the Redskins are stone cold. These 2 teams haven’t played each other since 2008 and there is no question which team has fared better in the past 3 years. Washington is still without Santana Moss, Chris Cooley and Tim Hightower and their quarterback spot needs a leader. I just don’t see how they can win against a 49ers team that is brimming with confidence. San Francisco is now on an 8-0-1 ATS run and I believe this streak will get another win this weekend. These 2 teams are going in totally opposite directions and look for the 49ers to take full advantage of that. The 49ers are also a perfect 3-0 SU and ATS on the road this year and I believe this streak will also continue. Lay the small points here as the 49ers will win this game by at least 10 points.

 

Next, pick this weekend goes to the HOUSTON TEXANS at home giving the Cleveland Browns 10 ½ points. The Texans will have no problem on Sunday with the Cleveland Browns as the Browns have an absolutely offensive offense, they are currently averaging 15 points a game while the Texans are averaging 25 points per game, which is why I’m guessing the line is at 10 ½ .Houston is 5-2-1 ATS their last 8 games against the AFC, Cleveland is 1-7-1 ATS their last 9 against the AFC. I like my odds on this game and I think Houston will win this game easily, just wait for them to get ahead by 2 touchdowns and the Browns won’t be able offensively to catch up. In other words, Houston will be scoring touchdowns while the Browns will be scoring field goals. Houston is the right play lay the points.

 

My third choice and last best bet this week is on the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS at home giving the New York Giants 9 points. This is a double whammy for the Giants as this is a BIG revenge game for the Pats and the Pats are coming home after a loss at Pittsburgh last week. There are not a lot of stats on this game as they only play each other once every 4 years, unless of course they meet in the Super Bowl. So this is strictly a gut pick for me but a very strong gut pick that the Patriots will come out a winner in this contest and will cover the 9 points, not by a lot by definitely more than 9.

 

 

 

As for regular plays, I like the Atlanta Falcons on the road giving the Indianapolis Colts 7 points.  I also like the Pittsburgh Steelers at home Sunday night to cover the 3 points against the Baltimore Ravens. And finally I like the Oakland Raiders at home to cover the 9 points against the Denver Broncos.

 

 

As for underdogs, I like the St. Louis Rams on the road getting a point from the Arizona Cardinals. I also like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road getting 9 points from the New Orleans Saints.  Finally I like the Cincinnati Bengals on the road getting 3 points from the Tennessee Titans.

 

 

My over/under picks include the over 41 ½ in the Bengals/Titans game, the over 50 ½ in the Packers/Chargers game, the over 51 in the Giants/Patriots game and I’m taking another under game, the under 37 ½ in the 49ers/Redskins game.

 

 

 

Good Luck this weekend and as always bet with your head not over it. :)
