Complete disaster. Train wreck. Car crash. Anyone of these things can be what describes my picks this year. After a 5-8-1 week 6, I’m going to drastic measures this week. Whatever the 1st thing that comes to my mind when looking at a matchup is, I’m going with it. No fancy analysis or anything. So here we go. 1-4 in Best Bets and a 27-33-1 overall record. Something has to give.
1 PM EASTERN
Steelers (-3) @ Dolphins
Big Ben. South Beach. Chicks are DTF. As Big Ben will this weekend…Lay the wood. PICK: STEELERS RESULT: LOSS
Bengals @ Falcons (-3.5)
Easy Money. Palmer Stinks. PICK: FALCONS RESULT: WIN
Jags @ Chiefs (-9)
Who’s the Jags QB this week? Todd Bouman? Ok, you’re joking, right? BEST BET PICK: CHIEFS RESULT: WIN
Eagles @ Titans (-3)
Battle of the Backups? Chris Johnson is healthy. PICK: TITANS RESULT: WIN
Redskins @ Bears (-3)
Another destination that was thought for McNabb. Bears take a crippling loss. PICK: SKINS RESULT: WIN
Browns @ Saints (-13)
Too many points? Peyton Hillis is legit. PICK: BROWNS RESULT: WIN
Bills @ Ravens (-13)
Not enough points. Worst team vs possibly the best team. PICK: RAVENS RESULT: LOSS
49ers (-3) @ Panthers Worst game of the season so far. Thank god I don’t have to watch it. Panthers run all over 9ers. Pick: PANTHERS RESULT: WIN
Rams @ Bucs (-3)
Very similar teams. Both on the upswing. Home field advantage? PICK: BUCS RESULT: LOSS
4 PM EASTERN
Cardinals @ Seahawks (-6.5)
It’s hard to believe that the Seahawks are laying 6.5 to anyone. PICK: CARDS RESULT: LOSS
Patriots @ Chargers (-3)
Hmmmm, probably no Gates. Chargers only win at home. Brady and Branch take it to the west coast like it’s 2004? Sure why not? PICK: PATS RESULT: WIN
Raiders @ Broncos (-7.5)
Broncs WR’s are banged up. McFadden may be healthy again….Too many points. PICK: RAIDERS RESULT: WIN
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Vikings @ Packers (-3)
Favre in Lambeau. PICK: VIKINGS RESULT: LOSS
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Giants @ Cowboys (-3)
It’s now or never for the Cowboys. They’re the only team in the NFL to outgain every opponent in every game this year. PICK: COWBOYS RESULT: LOSS
