So fall is here and dudes who have been caught cheating on their wives are forced to go apple picking will be missing on some quality football this weekend. Key message: Don’t get caught and use a burner phone. Last weekend was interesting to say this least. I ended up taking Car under, Pats over, Jacksonville, GB, and AZ under this past weekend. That puts me at 4-3 for the week, not bad. 10-9 on the year. This week, there aren’t many games that I’m liking. Hence why there aren’t as many picks.
I’m breaking my own rule with my first pick which is NEVER bet on the NY Giants, except the under. But goddamnit, they covered last week and could’ve won. I just can’t see them going to Tamp-er (Mike Francesa voice) and losing 4 straight, ok? This team probably jelled too late to make the playoffs but they’re too good to be THIS bad. They’ve always done well in TB, TB is banged up, and they’ll be a ton of Giants fans there too. And they’re getting 3 points? Please. They’ve been getting beat up in the press all week so they’re going to come out fired up.
Take the Gmen +3
I’m liking the Broncos because they A) are at home B) are coming off a loss and C) are 8-3 ATS vs Oakland. I know Oakland does well on the road (10-4 ATS) but they didn’t last week in Washington. Denver is 8-3-1 at home and I like them to bounce back. You’re laying 3 which isn’t a big deal. Would it surprise me if there was a push? Not one bit.
Take Denver -3
Dallas played monday night and looked sluggish to start but finished nicely to take down the Cardinals. But not before they gave me a heart attack as I had the under with the Cardinals driving late. Thankfully, Bruce Arians coaches well as Asians have manners when it comes to getting onto subways. The Rams have had 10 days off after their Thursday offensive explosion to plan for Dallas. Dallas D is banged up and the Rams D is nothing special. Both teams can put up points and believe it or not, Goff is the 3rd rated QB in the NFL. He’s already thrown as many TD as he has all of last year. Expect points…I am.
Take Dallas over 48.5
I kind of like Cincy -3 and SD -2 but not betting them. Can see it going that way though.
