Det 27 CHIC 24
The Lions won a game that could have gone either way. With back to back home game losses, both in winnable games, let's keep an eye on the Bears who just lost 2 straight games they should have been ALLin for.
Kc 9 NYG 12
I bet large on the OVER in this game. I checked the weather early in the week, and it all looked fairly good. On Game Day the wind forecast picked up and we saw gusts of 35 MPH. Wind KILLS overs, and it is always a concern whenever you bet big on any game. This total steamed up from 43.5 to 47, then back down to 45. Re: KC, that 5-0 is in the rear view mirror, and the Chiefs have to suddenly worry about the 4-6 Chargers as being a longshot threat to win the AFC W.
Tb 30 MIA 20.
Cutler has been a disaster for Mia. Moore rallied the Dolphins, when Cutler exited early with a concussion. Moore's Mia would have won if not for 5 turnovers the Fish would have won with Moore.
Balt 23 GB 0.
Baltimore now has 3 shutouts, no team has done that in over a decade. Hundley grew up in Az, played for UCLA. I am not optimistic about his chances in the GB cold going forward.
Rams 7 MIN 24
That HFA for the Vikings is REALLY high. I have it at 3.5 and might upgrade it to 4. In retrospect, any team off multiple 30 point consecutive wins that has to play a playoff team in a hostile environment is likely primed for a bad game, and the Rams had one
Az 21 HOU 31.
AP has not been the same since the SF game when he got the ball almost 40 times. Az looks like a fade going forward. I don't see a 'buy' sign by Houston however, as this game could have gone either way.
Jax 19 CLEV 7.
Money came on the Browns as it has done for the last two years. 8-28 ATS, you have to give these guys credit at the creative ways they blow covers. They gave up an apparent Defensive TD late in the game, and were saved by a whistle blowing the play dead. The next series they gave up another one.
Wash 31 NO 34.
Wash's IS a dead nut OVER team. Cousins is playing great, but the Wash D is horrible on the road, and they gave up 8 yards per play, and now have given up 5.8 or more in EVERY road game.
Buf 24. Chargers 54.
I am still mad at myself for not BOMBING in bets on 2h over here. The markets love 2h UNDER bets, but with Taylor returning, a forecast of the Bills team trying to score was an obvious one in the second half.
Cin 20 Den 17.
Somewhat of a misleading final here. The Ostrich lead Denver down on a fine drive to start the game. Then he threw a pick 5.9 101 yard interception. It took the Bengals three plays to get the 1 yard for a TD, and that turned what could have been a 14-20 Den win to a 20-17 loss.
Pats 33 OAK 8.
The Patriots decision to spend the week at the high Altitude Base camp at the Air Force Academy paid Dividends. Betting against the Pats is rarely correct.......but having spent 9 days in the 6000 foot zone, it may not be a K-2 summit, but how will this negatively impact them this coming week?
Philly 37 DAL 9.
My power ratings will go FINAL tomorrow, and I need to make a number for Dallas. I will start with the question, are they an above average or below average team right now without Sean Lee?
On the handicapping front I am passing MNF, but I FIRED TOMORROW on my 3* MAC Game Of the Year. Off a 6-1 Saturday, I am looking for a HUGE CFB November to end the regular Season!
