Last week I went 6-7, once again losing my best bet after jumping out to a huge lead (17-0). I’m 37-38-2 so far this year. Best bet is 1-3-1. Onto the Week 6 picks:
PANTHERS +3.5 at Falcons
49ers +4 at Lions
Colts +7 at BENGALS
EAGLES -1 at Redskins
Rams +15 at PACKERS
Jaguars +12.5 at STEELERS
Bills +3 at GIANTS
Browns +7 at RAIDERS
TEXANS +8 at Ravens
SAINTS -4.5 at Buccaneers
COWBOYS +7 at Patriots
Vikings +2.5 at BEARS (Best Bet)
Dolphins +7.5 at JETS
Comments: I hate taking nine favorites, but I’m not switching any single game just because of that fact. I must admit though, I worry I’ve switched from my previous strategy to going more “obvious” picks here, and not worrying about the public vs. sharps angle. I’ve clearly made a conscious choice to ignore the latter with these picks. Also, two people I respect think the Bears line is one of the worst/craziest ever, and while I made them my best bet, I’m kind of on the fence there. And to be fair, I’ll give my teaser of the week – Raiders and Jets.
