Bet on It

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer

Last week I went 6-5-2 to put my season record at 38-43-8. I’m two games over .500 over the last three weeks, so while that’s nothing to write home about, I seem to be improving as the season moves along. That said, this is a pretty rough slate this week, and I feel like I went with a few sucker bets. Now, onto Week 7’s picks:

Cardinals +9 at Redskins

Falcons +9 at Saints

Ravens -3 at Bills

Patriots -16.5 at Dolphins

49ers +9.5 at Giants

Buccaneers +2 at Lions

Titans -1 at Texans

Chiefs +3 at Raiders

Jets +6 at Bengals

Vikings +9.5 at Cowboys

Bears +5 at Eagles

Rams +9 at Seahawks

Steelers -3.5 at Broncos

Colts -3 at Jaguars

Best Bet: Lions

Comments: Detroit is a terrible road team but solid when playing at home. They’ve had two weeks to prepare for a Bucs squad ill suited for playing on turf, and the return of Calvin Johnson and a heavier dose of Kevin Jones mean Tampa Bay will be forced to throw more than they typically like to, especially with such a stagnant running game. Back the Lions.

    I need those Lions to tear it up on the turf, especially since I’ve got Calvin and K.Jones in one league, and Kitna and Calvin in another. What do you think of the switch to Leftwich? Kind of surprising on the timing, no? I guess this should help Roddy White some, but I have visions of Lefty throwing the ball 10 yards over his head again. I can’t bring myself to start White over Calvin on turf, but I figure it’s a pretty close call.

    I love the lines Vegas is giving the Pats, and everyone still takes the Pats. Maybe at some point they’ll actually start running the ball when they’re up double-digits.

    Not a fan of Leftwich – he’s keeping the seat warm for Brian Brohm.

    I’ve gone against the Pats for like three straight weeks, so expect a backdoor cover from Miami the week I switch it up…That line is crazy – it would be 22.5 points if they were at home.
