My apologies for not having posted any picks since my successful mid-season run, but I am back. And hopefully with a vengence. Ok, now that I have sufficiently jinxed myself here are my picks….
As always home team in Caps..
BRONZE PICK
Bengals (+4.5) OVER TEXANS- I know Houston is the tougher team on paper, but ever since they got stomped by the Patriots they have not looked right. Add that to the fact that they always let down in big games (especially in the playoffs) and you have a recipe for a huge Cincy win on the road.
SILVER PICK
Colts (+7) OVER RAVENS- While I am aware that Ray Lewis will be making his “return” in this contest I am not afraid, and nethier should you. Ray Lewis even if he returns is likely to be a a shell of his former self and the Ravens have been a mess for about 7 weeks now. Add to this the fact that Andrew Luck (my MVP) is playing out of his mind and the whole Chuck Strong movement and there is no way the Ravens should be getting 7 points even if they are at home. Be smart and take the points and Indy.
GOLD PICK
SEAHAWKS (MONEYLINE) OVER Redskins- I know the media has been falling all over itself to pat RG3 on the back but I am not sold. Yes, the Redskins are coming in hot, but RG3 is banged up and barely escaped with a win last week against my beloved Cowboys who were just dying to give that game away. Seattle might not traditionally be a good road team, but they are red hot right now, have played hard in every game this year and did travel across the country (two countries in fact) and stomped the east coast Bills in Toronto just a couple weeks ago. I would take the spread, but something about this game is screaming taking the safe play and only taking the money line.
GOOD LUCK THIS WEEK AND PLEASE GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY
