Weekly Picks
Another decent week, nailing those best bets really changes everything. Got a little bad beat on total lack of offense in second half of two games in which we had the over (NE-NO and TB-CHI), but otherwise doing pretty ok. Was actually thinking of picking Rams in Thursday night's game. Glad I didn't.
houston +14 NEW ENGLAND
I know the Patriots love to blow people out but I think the Texans defense will keep them in it.
CAROLINA -5 1/2 new orleans
I know Cam Newton isn't off to such a good start but the Saints defense should be good for what ails him.
tampa bay +2 MINNESOTA
The CornPrices have some key defensive players on the injury report, but they shouldn't need too much help to shut down the Vikings without Sam Bradford again.
seattle +3 TENNESSEE
This could be one I have to completely change my view on both teams after this game.
BEST BET
kansas city -2 1/2 LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
I really like Kansas City and the Chargers always seem to find a way to lose.

Weekly Picks
A pretty good start to the season with 4 points. But now the question becomes which performances that we saw in Week 1 portend something larger for the remainder of the season and which are aberrations to be ignored.
new england -6 NEW ORLEANS
Patriots will rebound. Not so sure about the Saints. More on this game later. Hint: we're taking the over even though it's an astronomical 56 1/2 points.
PITTSBURGH -5 1/2 minnesota
It's the oldest trap in the book, team looks surprisingly good on Monday night and everyone thinks they're great. And Sam Bradford's health also an issue here.
dallas -2 1/2 DENVER
I just don't trust Trevor Siemian.
JACKSONVILLE +1 tennessee
I am certainly not sure about this one but I wouldn't be shocked if the Jags won this game at home.
BEST BET
TAMPA BAY -6 1/2 chicago
The ExpensiveCornPrices are still my breakout team for this season and that extra week off won't slow them down.
