Interesting results last week - I went 2-2 on my Best Bets, 2-2 on my Solid Bets, and 7-0-1 in the other bets. Overall, my record was 11-4-1 last week. Here's this week's picks, and a warning... we have road dawg fever.:
Best Bets:
1. Buffalo +10 @ Pittsburgh. The Steelers don't impress me. I might even wager a few dollars on a Bills win straight up (+400).
2. New Orleans -3 @ Tampa Bay. Is this suppose to indicate that NO looked bad last week, or that TB looked good? Because it ain't the latter... the Saints should cruise, because they aren't starting 0-2.
3. Seattle -2.5 @ Arizona. Okay, so they beat the 49ers... wait, they didn't? Then why is Seattle only giving 2.5 points?
4. Philly -7 vs. Washington. Philly is not starting 0-2, either.
Solid Bets:
1. Houston +6.5 @ Carolina. Not sure why, but Carolina doesn't strike us as reliable. It might be because I recently found this crazy stat out: Jake Delhomme is their starting QB.
2. St.Louis -3 vs. San Francisco. Okay, the Rams looked bad last week. But they're back home, and the 49ers aren't good enough for a 2-0 start, right? Right?
3. NY Jets +9.5 at Baltimore. Because Pennington might not start, the line is heavily in favor of the Ravens. Well, that might be the case, but I think it's doesn't matter who starts - the Jets will keep it close.
4. Detroit -3 vs. Minnesota. Because the Lions are for real!
Other Games:
1. Cincy -7 @ Cleveland. The big spread scares me because the Browns are usually tough against the Bengals, but... wait, whose their QB? Ah, hell... bet Cincy.
2. Indy -7 @ Tennessee. The Titans are good, but the Colts are the best.
3. NYG -1.5 vs. GB. Just because the Packers got lucky last week doesn't mean they'll do it again.
4. Atlanta +10 @ Jacksonville. Tough call - the Falcons suck, but they may keep it close just to keep bettors honest. In fact, don't be shocked if they pulled an upset off here.
5. Dallas -3.5 @ Miami. Definitely Dallas.
6. Oakland +9.5 @ Denver. Same as Atlanta.
7. Chicago -12 @ KC. Nah, KC really does suck.
8 SD +3 @ NE. The toughest game to call... I would have taken NE until the Belicheat scandal. Now I might play it safe, avoid the game, and take the points if I do play. It'll be close I bet. And the Chargers sound excited to play the Pats.

Dude - you are a stoner if you think Denver doesn't cover against Oakland...in Denver.
