I sucked less last week. Woo.
5. Detroit Lions (+3 1/2) vs. Chicago Bears
I'm smoking some serious stuff right now but I think the Lions actually come off the bye scoring points and hanging tough with the Bears. Maybe I've been hit in the head one too many times recently.
4. Denver Broncos (-3 1/2) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Yes the Broncos couldn't stop the run at all last week. But LJ was a rested beast. At home this week they will put up a ton of points and win by a touchdown.
3. Washington Redskins (+5 1/2) at Philadelphia Eagles
Perhaps it was the fact that the Eagles put up a boatload of points in Dallas on primetime that got everyone so high on them. But the Redskins beat the Cowboys in Dallas. This is a tough divisional game that could go either way. I'll take 5.5 on a game that's 50/50 any day.
2. Indianapolis Colts(-3 1/2) at Houston Texans
The Texans for some reason were overrated by everybody this season for some reason. The Colts need this victory and will go into Houston and spoil the home opener.
1. New Englad Patriots (-3 1/2) at San Francisco 49ers
Bill BEEEELLLICCCHHIIICCKKK off a bye week and facing up against a shitty team only giving 3 1/2? Sign me up.
Survivor League Pick: SCREW Seattle
Ugh, go with Dallas.
Non-Spread Picks
Comments
Nice work on the picks but I have to disagree with your non-spread pick of Arizona over Buffalo. Buffalo has some incredible momentum right now, and Arizona lost a playmaker last week. As much as I hate to say this, the Bill are for real this year. I'll take Buffalo straight up in that game any day.
