Bets of the Week

By Robby Wellington – Staff Writer

This week is great for teasers as a number of NFL teams are favored by around a touchdown.  The Eagles (-7 at home against the Redskins) and the Lions (-6 at home against the 49ers) make for a very appealing 6-point teaser, while I like pairing the Eagles with the Falcons (-9 at home against the Browns) in a 7-point teaser.  If you want to get crazy and throw in a few more teams, the Ravens (at the Titans) and the Cowboys (at the Cardinals) are both 7-point favorites and while both teams should win those games, they are also somewhat susceptible to road upsets, so be wary.  On the college front, my beloved Stanford Cardinal are only 19-point underdogs at Washington, where Huskies coach Tyrone Willingham should have no problem running up the score on his former team.  Give the points.
