Week 8
NFL Picks
against the Spread
11/1/15
Chiefs -3.5 over Lions – Both teams pretty much done and it’s not even November! The Chiefs are the lesser of two evils here as the Lions are just plain bad. Note their -7 turnover differential, among the worst in the NFL.
Vikings +1.5 over Bears – Vikings defensive yards per point number of 19.9 ranks among the best in the NFL. The Bears defensive number of 11.6 is just about the worst. We like Our chances with the better team here.
Falcons -7 -120 over Bucs – Speaking of bad defensive yards per point numbers…….the Bucs weigh in with an 11! Matty Ice and the Falcs should have no trouble finding the endzone.
Giants +3.5 over Saints – An argument could be made that the wrong team is favored here.
49ers/Rams Under 40 – Don’t like either side though we lean towards the 49ers +8. Our model likes the Game under so we’ll give it a shot.
Cardinals -6 over Browns – Prefer the Cardinals offense over the Browns, which has everything to do with why one team is 5-2 and the other is 2-5.
Bengals +1.5 over Steelers – HUGE Game and likely the Game of the week. Big Ben returns this week and could still be hobbled. Prefer the Bengals in this spot who are yet to miss a beat.
Chargers +3.5 over Ravens – Two bad teams. The Chargers may be the worst of the two however can’t trust the Ravens laying points.
Jets -3 over Raiders – Our model likes the Jets by 6. After giving the Pats all they could handle last week Jets proved they’re legit.
Cowboys +6 over Seahawks – Both teams desperately need this one. Seahawks no doubt down a notch or two. They own the better defense here but the Cowboys have been hanging around in Games and we think they take this one to the wire. Upset??
Packers -2.5 over Broncos – Someones “o” must go. We think that someone is the Broncos. Both teams playing great defense. Both teams each have a great QB. However, only one of those QB’s is currently playing great, and that’s Aaron Rodgers and that should be the differeNCe in this one. Statement Game.
