Ok, I have locked in tonight on 49ers at +7 (got this line early) and U 43.5. Time to move on to next weeks picks.
Tennessee +3 (-105)
I know Pitt came in and handed it to TN yesterday but I'm not backing off of them. I think if the Steelers don't return the opening kickoff then it would have been a completely different game. Last night everyone saw a poor running team in the Colts run all over the Giants. Now the G-men have to go up against a power running team. I'll take the 3 and watch Chris Johnson have 200+ yds.
Texans -3
I have officially jumped on board with Houston. I think they exploit Dallas and win by 7-10. Dallas is once again in disarray after falling to 0-2 and allowing Cutler to pick them apart at home. Now they have to go up against a team who's running back had 200+ yds against the colts and a QB who just threw for 400+ against a good Washington team on the road. Take the Texans at -3, but the public might bring it down to 2.5.
Tampa Bay +3
Pitt just lost Dixon and are now on their 3rd string QB. Tampa is a young team but is playing very well so far. I see this being very low scoring and a battle of field goals.
Washington -3.5
This is my top play for the week. I had money on St. Louis yesterday so I sat and watched the snooze-fest. The Rams are waiting for Bradford to turn into Peyton Manning over night. He threw over 50 times in his first outing so they tried to cut back and only let him throw 25 times yesterday. If not for a couple of penalties by the raiders the rams would not have put up more than 7. The Rams also allowed Mcfadden with the Raiders to rush for 130+ yds which was his 2nd career 100 yd rushing game. This one should get ugly quickly and it will be a big win for Washington.
Bengals -4
Carolina is bad, I mean bad. In two games they have 8 turnovers and have no idea who their QB is going to be. The Bengals just had a big win over the Ravens and forced Falco into throwing 4 ints. No way Clausen comes in and produces. Panthers will try and run the ball all game and throw maybe 25 times. This will not be close as turnovers will kill the panthers.
TOTALS
Tampa U 33
