Went 3-2 (+2 Units) last week, bringing my season record to 15-13 (-0.5 Units). 

Hoped some of you got onto my last minute MNF play last week.  Lesson to be learned from last week is to stay away from (-14) spreads...haha, but what can I say, I guess I’m just too stubborn sometimes to listen to my own advice.  Good thing I stuck with 1 unit only for those games.    

Without further a due, here are this week’s picks and I apologize for the shorter write up this week:

1)      SD (-5) *1 Unit – The Chargers are due for a break out game.  This game will be it.  Should be a good day for the SD offense.

2)      Indy  (-13.5) *1.5 Units – Bob Sanders provides a boost for Indy’s D, but its not like they’ll need it against STL. 

3)      GB (-9) *1 Unit – I don’t see Cle’s D providing much pressure on A.Rodgers.  And when that happens, Rodgers will pick you apart.

4)      CAR (-7) *1.5 Units – The Panthers look like the Panthers of old, pounding the ball with their two talented backs.  If they stick to that game plan, I don’t see how the Bills have an answer for it.

5)      SF (+3) *1 Unit – Hou is a hot team right now and their offense is playing really well.  But any team coming off a bye with M.Singletary as a head coach, you know will come out prepared and play hard.  Throw in a debut of M.Crabtree and the return of F.Gore.  Sniff Sniff, I smell upset right here.

6)      Nos (-6.5) *3 Units – MIA’s wildcat offense is good and effective, but it will only win you games when it is close or when you have the lead.  I see MIA playing from behind the whole game and will turn to C.Henne to try to get them back into the game.  D.Brees’ will tear up MIA’s secondary.

I might still have a play on the 2 primetime games, so stay tuned!

Good Luck Everyone!!
