This is a tough week for betting, and I’m looking at going with a couple of road dogs. The Rams are +120 moneyline at Oakland, while the Dolphins are +101 in Buffalo. While I’m at it, the Jaguars are only 3-point dogs at Tennessee, and while I realize the Titans are on a roll, the Jags need this win a lot more.
In terms of fantasy, there isn’t much advice to give at this point, other than the lineup rankings. A few running back injuries may allow some solid guys to emerge as flex plays this week. If you need RB help, add Arlen Harris, Justin Griffith, Artose Pinner and Chris Brown in that order and monitor these situations closely throughout the week. Darrell Jackson’s turf toes make DJ Hackett and Nate Burleson viable fantasy options this week. While Burleson will start, I think that Hackett is the slightly better, or at least the safer option.
On a personal note, I pulled out a nail biter over Dalton this week, thanks to Steven Jackson’s late game heroics. Had to mention that.
