Picks Against the Spread - Week 8

Last week: 7-7
Season to date: 20-34-2

Dolphins This Week

  • New York Giants vs. Miami (+9.5) (in London) - New York has won five in a row while Miami has dropped ten straight. Maybe the change of scenery will help the 'Phins, or hurt the Giants. A full preview and prediction will follow later this week.
The Rest
  • Cleveland @ St. Louis (+3)- The Cavs made the NBA Finals. The Indians were a game away from the World Series. The Browns, well, they are on pace for eight wins, but can they keep it up?
  • Detroit @ Chicago (-5) - The Bears need another win to keep the momentum going. The Lions haven't played well on the road.
  • Indianapolis (-6.5) @ Carolina - The Panthers are 4-2 but their opponents to date have a combines record of 13-28. This could be a big statement win or they will remain stuck in NFC mediocrity
  • Oakland @ Tennessee (-7.5) - The Raiders are one of the teams that looked great beating the Dolphins but are finding out they still aren't good. The Titans are this years, "find a way to win team."
  • Philadelphia @ Minnesota (+1) - Why can't the Eagles win? The Vikings defense gave the team a great chance to win in Dallas but they couldn't
  • Pittsburgh (-3.5) @ Cincinnati - This should reveal if the Steelers aren't as good as we thought or if the Bengals aren't as bad as we thought.
  • Buffalo (+3) @ New York Jets - The AFC East minus the Patriots is a combined 3-17. This game will probably end tied, even after overtime.
  • Houston (+11.5) @ San Diego - That's a large spread. The Texans aren't great but should keep it close for the most part
  • Jacksonville (+4.5) @ Tampa Bay - The battle for the best team in Florida. AFC>NFC
  • New Orleans (-3) @ San Francisco -
  • Washington (+16) @ New England - Washington has a good secondary but can they generate enough of a pass rush to hurry Tom Brady?
Monday Night Football
  • Green Bay @ Denver (-3) - The Broncos got a much needed win, but they need to keep it going.
