Here are 5 games that I think are the best options this week to bet on.
5. Atlanta (-3 1/2) @ New Orleans
Despite the heart warming home coming and the inspiration that the Saints will gather from playing in New Orleans for the first time since pre-Katrina, the Falcons are just a better team and 3 1/2 points really isn't much. This one to be is a safe bet, but I'd probably avoid it similarly to avoiding Jet games, since I know I'm going to rout for the Saints to pull out a victory. So if you have no heart this ones for you.
4. Jacksonville (+8 1/2) @ Indianapolis
The Jaguars always play the Colts strong and even play them strong in Indy, having lost by a td there last year and beaten them in Indy in 2004. The Jaguars are playing exceptionally well, the Colts have a questionable rushing attack and Freeney and Vinatieri are questionable for the game. If this spread stays above a touchdown, which it might cause no one gives the Jaguars any love, ever, take the Jaguars and the points, and expect a tight game.
3. Baltimore (- 6 1/2) @ Cleveland
Baltimore has looked phenomenal, much to my dismay and surprise, and Cleveland eh not so much. The Browns still have Frye at QB and this is going to be a rough year for them. Baltimore easily goes into Cleveland and passes the points.
2. Green Bay (+6 1/2) @ Detroit
Favre is old, but why in gods name is Detroit getting 6 /12 in this game. Detroit stinks they haven't scored more than 7 points in any game and despite the Packers not being a good team they are better than the Lions. They have a better QB, a better RB, and Driver is the equal of Roy Williams. Take the Packers take the points. Brett isn't going to fall to 0-3.
1. Washington (-3 1/2) @ Houston
Houston still is terrible they still can't protect David Carr and 3 /12 points to give up is next to nothing. The Redskins will have Portis back this week and should be able to win this game by double digits due to their desperation, if they can't pull out this game then they can kick their playoff aspirations to the curb. "Dollah Bill" brings his funky self back into the fold and rushes his way to a big game and some nice honeys post game.
The Rest
Chicago (-3 1/2) over Minny... Still not a Minny Believer
New York Jets (+5 1/2) over Buffalo... Jet Homer
Miami (-10 1/2) over Tennessee... Tennessee Sucks
Tampa Bay (+3 1/2) over Carolina... if Smith doesn't play
Cinciniatti (+ 2 1/2) over Pittsburgh... if Burger plays like crap again they lose
Seattle (-3 1/2) over New York Giants... Homefield
San Fran (+6 1/2) over Philly... Just a hunch it will be close
St. Louis (+4 1/2) over Zona... Bulger due for big game
New England (-6 1/2) over Denver... No Offense for Denver in the Razor
