The Public Dog’s Picks

Lions +4.5 vs Giants – This is more of a fade against the Giants. Odell Beckham is still banged up and might not play. The Giants really rely on him and if he isn’t healthy the rest of the team really looked non existent. Brandon Marshall only had 4 targets last game and without an offense they will not be able to cover 4.5 points. The lions actually were a top ten offense against the Cardinals tough defense last week.

Patriots -6.5 vs Saints – Kansas City woke the sleeping giant. The patriots were 13-3 vs the spread last year and I can see this as a bounce back spot. They are going to want to prove they are the best team in football this week and will have no mercy on the Saints. The Saints also did not impress vs the Vikings last week. It looked like Adrian Peterson wanted to eat the head of Shawn Peyton towards the end of the game. The Saints ran for a total of only 60 yards last game. The Saints allowed the second most yards in the NFL vs the vikings at 470 last week. Patriots by 10

49ers vs Seahawks under 42 – Both teams in the bottom of offensive stats last week. Neither team put up over 225 yards and to top that San Francisco was at home. the 49ers can’t score the ball and have a horrible offense. The Seahawks have a very bad offensive line and major problems with their run game. San Francisco’s defense is better than last year and was their focal point in the draft. Even without Reubin Foster this D should hold Seattle to 23 points or less. I look for Seattle to at home prove that they still have Legion of Boom and stop the Niners winning 23-10.

Cowboys Broncos under 42 – Both defenses in the top 8 last week allowing less than 250 yards. Both teams love to run the ball and chew clock. I see a dog fight in this game.

NFL TEASER – Raiders +7.5 vs Jets and Denver +8 vs Dallas – Dallas’s defense looked good vs the Giants but Denver’s defense looked very good as well against the Chargers. I know its a short week for Denver but the cowboys

Cub Fan Danny’s Picks

Cardinals (-7.5) vs Colts

Colts are just bad very very bad. If it weren’t for the Jets they would be the worst team in the league. Colts have no QB no running game no one to throw to Defense is bad as well. I think the team has given up on the coach and they should shut down Luck for the year to let him heal properly.

The Cardinals did terrible last week. David Johnson is hurt, Carson Palmer laid a big pile of poo on the field but Bruce Arians is a good coach and I expect them to get better this week to come up big win this game and cover.

If Colts score 13 points they should be consider themselves lucky.

Jets vs Oakland (-14)

Oakland went into Tennessee last week played a very good team and won the game outright. Opening up at home with David Carr throwing darts everywhere I like Oakland scoring in the 30’s and Jets somewhere around 13.

Redskins (+3) vs Rams

The Rams played well last week but they played against the second worse team in the league against the Colts. They played great on offense great on defense but it was against the Colts.

Redskins played extremely poor last week they threw it 71% of the time. Running game was no existent offensive line played terrible. I fully expect them to play better this week and I am taking the points with the Redskins.

Tennessee (-3) vs Jacksonville

When the line opened it was -2 and I took it right away. Right now is -3 but it is still a good play. The Titans played a very tough team last week with the Raiders last week, who I think will be the best team in the AFC this year.

The Titans should be able to put up more points this week against the Jags this week. I think last week Jags win against the Texans was mostly due to Tom Savage being so bad and Houston not being able to score and by half the game was over when they put Watson in.

I like Titans here at -3 and getting in the win column.
