Hope everyone is having a great week. Here are my picks for Sunday, short reasoning listed below. Having a great season so far and hope everyone else is having one too.
2 Unit Play
Cincinatti -2.5
1 Unit Plays
Buffalo -2.5
New England -7
I hope everyone gets the line at -3 for Cinci while Marshawn Lynch is ruled out. It's still -3 on book maker. He's been hurt and I figured he either wasn't going to play or was going to be in there playing off an injury. Those are usually nice spots to take. I'm surprised the line is only at -3 because they really need beast mode in to get their offense jump started. I think this is a really good pick, possibly pick of the year material but definitely pick of the week for me - especially after watching Seattle struggle at home vs. a broken Lions team.
I think New England should cover the -8. I have them covering by 9.5+ but I took a point because the spread was so high. If I can get the game down within a touch down I'll take the juice. It's something I'm experimenting with this year in two spots: when teams historically play each other close and when spreads are over a touch down. Spreads that high are a nightmare to cap. So far it's working very well. Limited sample tough to say if it's worth it long term, my guess would be that it is.
Buffalo has looked great all year and I just think that they have more value than -2.5 from watching them play. That game was a simple cap for me.
BOL all!
