What up Pregame Nation. Went 2-2 last week but still showed a small profit as Dallas +165 moneyline win kept me above water. Now onto the picks as I really like these dogs to make some green:
Cleveland +4 @ Carolina. Cleveland the better team as this line imo is too high due to Cleveland's beatdown they took last week and Manziels awful performance. it was a bad spot for Johnny Football as getting behind forced him to throw more than you want out of a rookie. Different game here as Cleveland's defense shuts down Carolina and they run here with success limiting Manziel and building his confidence: Cleveland-24 Carolina-16
Arizona +8.5 vs Seattle: I know Arizona is hurting at the QB position but Arizona has the defense to keep this game within the number, as Seattle is no offensive machine to be laying this many points vs a good defense. Seattle not same team on road. Arizona comes out with a chip on their shoulder being such a huge underdog at home and keeps this close: Seattle-20 Arizona-16
Cincinnati +3.5 (-130) vs Denver: Hard to take Bengals in a big game but I believe Denver is not the same team lately, running way more than usual protecting Manning as he is more banged up this time of the year and is dealing with a thigh injury right now. Bigger game for Cincy as their defense shows up in the Jungle and Daulton has a decent game manager type game: Cincinnati-26 Denver-20
Good luck if you follow as we get some Christmas green this week.
Late!
