Vegas Dave's New York @ New England Pick
New York Jets (+3.0) @ New England (-3.0)
It hasn't really mattered what I've done these past few weeks. When a game looks fishy and I go against the fishy side, the side that SHOULD WIN, does. When I ignore it and take the easy looking winner, the fishy side wins. So it goes when you are mired in a slump. But something about the Jets just seems very off to me. They are coming off of a dominating victory over St. Louis, which will be fresh in the minds of bettors. They can pass the ball, which has been New England's Achilles heel (all three losses, Miami, San Diego, and Indy have above average passing games). They can defend against the run, which makes things harder on Cassel and will come into play even more if it rains. And of course, they have the magical Brett Favre. I saw a lot of people bet the Jets at +4.0, yet the line has moved to +3.0. Everyone and their mother seems to like the Jets to win straight up here, too. I can't say they don't have good reasons, but are we really putting "too easy" and "against the Patriots" in the same sentence? In Foxboro no less? Both teams are 6 - 3, both teams have losses to San Diego and Miami. These are two evenly matched teams in my opinion, so I'll take the home advantage and go against the popular pick.
PICK WITH THE SPREAD: New England
PICK WITHOUT THE SPREAD: New England
Also like the V Tech/Miami UNDER this evening.
Good luck!
