Dolphins (+2) over Jets
Both of these teams were junk in Week 3, so we’ll take the points.
COLTS (-9.5) over Jaguars
If
Andrew Luck doesn’t play, the line is going to be Colts (-4.5). We’ll take them
regardless.
FALCONS (-6.5) over Texans
So
far Atlanta has played the offensively challenged Eagles, the clock management
indifferent Giants, and the Romo-less Cowboys. You can add a team quarterbacked
by Ryan Mallet to that list.
BUCCANEERS (+3.5) over Panthers
Like their
fellow NFC South members in Atlanta, the Panthers haven’t defeated any playoff
caliber teams, and needed a late interception to prevent a team quarterbacked
by Josh McCown from beating them last week. Tampa is competent enough to at
least cover.
BILLS (-5) over Giants
Karlos
Williams fully unleashed!
Raiders (-3.5) over BEARS
It
feels wrong to pick the Raiders to cover on the road for a 1pm start two weeks
in a row to push their record to 3-1, but I suppose stranger things have
happened. Also, the Bears suck.
Eagles (-3) over WASHINGTON
I
don’t believe in the Eagles yet, but like clockwork Kirk Cousins turned into a
pumpkin just before the calendar turned to October.
BENGALS (-4.5) over Chiefs
I
could totally see Cincinnati having a let down after their dramatic win in
Baltimore last week, but I don’t possess the testicular fortitude to pick it.
Actually,
nevermind.
Chiefs (+4.5) over BENGALS
Cincy
wins this one by 3.
CHARGERS (-7.5) over Browns
I’m
not sure San Diego is good enough to be favored by 7.5 points over anyone, but
Cleveland certainly isn’t good enough to be picked in a West Coast game.
Packers (-9.5) over 49ERS
Aaron
Rodgers has had a grudge against the 49ers ever since they chose Alex Smith
over him in the 2005 NFL Draft, and for the first time he gets to pick on them
while they are weak and feeble. Also, he just destroyed Alex Smith last Monday,
which is weird.
Vikings (+7) over BRONCOS
It’s
strange to say we like the under in a game featuring Peyton Manning and Adrian
Peterson, but it’s important to not live in the past. Minnesota’s defense is
good enough to capitalize on Peyton’s noodle arm, and Denver’s defense is stout
enough to keep Peterson in check.
CARDINALS (-7) over Rams
Of
all the results from Week 3, St. Louis not managing to comeback against a team
quarterbacked by Michael Vick topped the list of most disappointing.
Cowboys (+3.5) over SAINTS
Dallas
crumbled like a sugar cookie in the second half against the Falcons, and we’re
hopeful they learned from their mistakes and will stick to the running game
Sunday night.
SEAHAWKS (-10) over Lions
With
or without Beast Mode, the Seahawks will roll.
Week 3 = 7-9
Thursday = 0-0-1 (thanks for terrible fourth down
decisions Mike Tomlin)
Season = 24-24-2
Spread Picks By Team
Here are
our updated results picking for each team. Here are some weird trends so far.
-
All five of the teams we have correctly picked every game this
season are from the NFC.
-
Three of them are from the NFC North. We are 11-1 picking
teams in this division.
-
Of our 0-3 clubs, three of them hail from the miserable NFC
South.
-
11 out of the 17 teams that we are .500 or better are NFC
squads. The Patriots are the only AFC team we haven’t lost a pick with (they
pushed in Week 1 against Pittsburgh).
Washington = 3-0
Packers = 3-0
Vikings = 3-0
Lions = 3-0
Seahawks = 3-0
Patriots = 2-0-1
Browns = 2-1
