J.J BASCUS PLAYBOOK
%Best Percentage%> (team to win by lot of points): Denver Broncos.
%Very close projected Game%> New England at San Diego.
DAL at CHI >Difference with Vegas. And, it is Thursday night primetime. Look out Cowboys!
PIT at CIN >Classic AFC North battle. My power rating is solidly behind CIN which means Vegas worried about Big Ben
NYJ at MIN > The issue with the Vikings is rookie leadership. Just can't expect too much. Should win easily but too much of a wild card to be confident.
CAR at NO > Six straight loses for CAR and Saints playing for first place so Vegas right to be jumping on NO.
BAL at MIA > Dolphins dropped a game last week with not covering the spread, they shouldn't have. So pressure is now on against a Raven team coming off a tough loss of their own. Big playoff ramifications. Watch but avoid
KC at ARI > The loss of Carson Palmer is now linked to 2 straight losses and wondering if this ARI team is still capable of the same early season winning.
BUF at DEN > Broncos solidly favored by my rating and Vegas. BUF has moved up to #13 compared to DEN #2 on our power rankings but road test likely too much.
IND at CLE > Browns have done the unexpected this year winning when people don't expect and then not following through after you think they just might have it. Vegas maybe too big in this one. However power rating difference is huge IND-10 CLE-25.. {Remember lower rating better the team}
SEA at PHI > Eagles are narrow favorites at home. If SEA plays like last week this forecast is going to be wrong. Must watch game of the week Power rank SEA-1 PHI -6 {Remember lower rating better the team}
HOU at JAC > Texans are barely alive for the playoffs, but that’s big incentive. Jags have a chance to turn this division rivalry to win a build a case for a story of 2 seasons.
SF at OAK > Bay clash. 49ers are still very much in the playoff hunt and looking terrible vs SEA not end of the world. Just need to win big and Vegas right to expect it. Wow !!! power rank is up-town on this one SF-4 OAK-31 {Remember lower rating better the team}
TB at DET > This should be a Detroit rout. Offense is starting to click and DEF is solidly best in NFL. Wow !!! power rank is up-town on this one too. TB-29 DET-8 however Rating P/R against the point spread - 3 1/2 Detroit Is 5-1 SU In Its Last 6 Games At Home
NYG at TEN > Vegas avoiding as an incredible 7 straight losses have folks wondering if NYG is done for the season. At the same time hard to count Eli out from an out of nowhere decent game/ Vegas prediction unavailable at the time of this post.
ATL at GB > There is history in this matchup, that and MNF could make for something crazy. Statistically though, ATL meets their match and little chance
NE at SD > The Chargers have won 3 in a row and so this SNF game will be no easy road for Brady. That said, the look on his face at the end of last week's tough loss at GB says Vegas right. I have this game even and Vegas opened at -3 1/2
STL at WAS > Interesting to see these lines this close given how strong the Rams have looked lately.opened Vegas line at -2 1/2
System Smitty Ryan [Las Vegas NV.] This week, as the Browns face a must-win game against the Indianapolis Colts. The Browns will go with Brian Hoyer again. If he struggles you will see Johnny Manziel again. Brian Hoyer was playing miserably in Buffalo. I don’t know anyone who can argue it. I do think he’s struggling to get on the same page with Josh Gordon, who has contributed to the interception numbers in the past two weeks with miscommunications and lack of route running. Also, the Browns’ rushing attack is failing completely and totally and we’ve all known since pre-season that this team was going to struggle when they didn’t run the ball. Andrew Luck and colts are 9-3 against the spread. Colts should have a good running game against the browns defense. Weather projected for the game 49% Sunny. Prediction: Colts by 7 points or more
