NFL: 17-16 (53%) +0.75 units
Week 11
2* Cleveland PK
I like Cleveland here who hasn't been terrible at home. They should have won last week but couldnt get the botched snap for the FG together. That would have been their 3rd win at home. Jacksonville is on their 3rd straight road game and have only won one this season and that was last week against the winless Colts. Cleveland will win this game on mistakes from Gabbert and they'll take advantage of good field position by Josh Cribbs. FG will win this.
2* STL -2
Rams are an under-valued team IMO. They've played a murderous schedule in GB, NO, Philly, Dallas, NYG and Baltimore. They were without Jackson for a few games and when he was around Bradford wasn't healthy. They've now had 2 games together and have added Brandon Lloyd and Mark Clayton came back last week. They beat NO at home and then lost on the road via punt return by Patrick Peterson and then escaped with a win in Cleveland last week. I didnt expect them to do much the first part of the season against those teams, but it didnt help they were without a big part of their offense in each game. Seattle comes in off a huge win against Baltimore and the Rams have some revenge here as they lost in Seattle week 17 last year in the game that decided who would represent the NFC West in the playoffs. Also seattle has a ton of injuries on the OL and James Hall and Chris Long should provide plenty of pressure. They've also started playing first round pick Robert Quinn the past couple of games and he's had 3 sacks and a blocked kick already. Those 3 should put plenty of pressure of the decimated OL.
1* Minnesota -1
Raiders off a televised 'whippin' of rival SD and Minnesota off a beating from GB presenting some value for Minnesota. Raiders have struggled stopping the run and ALL DAY should have his moments in this matchup. Also the strength of the raiders is the running game and minnesota has done very well limiting the rush. Palmer looked great against SD (who isn't good against the pass) and should face a tougher pass rush here with Jared Allen in company in the dome today. I look for a few mistakes from Palmer and minnesota making some plays on offense and getting this win.
1* SF / Arizona U41.5
Arizona off two emotional come from behind wins against the Rams and Eagles and now coming back to face the toughest defense in the league in SF. Skelton SUCKED against the Rams and will be over-valued coming off a nice game against a struggling Philly defense. He's completing 54% of his passes and has been sacked 7 times in two games. He'll have pressure all day here and i can see SF holding them to almost nothing.
