Oakland @ Chicago +3 (1)
Oakland (2-1) & (2-1 ats) are off to a nice start. They were beaten bad by a good Cincy (20 points) team and then beat Balt (0-3) by 4 at home and traveled to Cleveland (1-2) and won by 7. They are scoring some points 25.7 ppg and allowing 28.7 ppg. They have to be one of the biggest surprises so far in the early season. Chicago (0-3) and (0-3 ats) have played 3 really good teams in GB, Zona, and at Seattle. No doubt Cutler going down was a big loss. Now they let Allen get away and another player. They appear to be in a mess and many think they have packed it in. Maybe management is looking to the future already, but these players have some pride and this is a winnable game. Oakland is only 1-11 on the road in its last 12 games. Now they are playing back to back on the road. The Raiders broke a 11 losing streak and a 16 game losing streak in the EST zone. Now they will be going for 3 straight wins for the first time since 2011. I don't have a whole lot to say about the Bears, but hopefully another week of practice for Claussen definitely can't hurt.
KC @ Cincy -3 1/2 (1)
I've actually seen both teams play twice now and I'm playing Cincy. The way Dalton is playing and the weapons he has on offense is just way to tempting for me to pass up on, especially at home. KC D just got ate up by the Pack on the road and now have to head into Cincy who are 14-4-1 ats in the last 19 games at home. Not to mention that they are undefeated and also 3-0 ats. Just riding the hot team at home. KC got a lot of give me yards in the 4th quarter to make the final score closer than it really was.
Philly @ Wash +3 1/2 (1)
Something has to give in this division battle of 1-2 teams. I actually have this game rated as a pick. The teams offensive and defensive stats for points are fairly close. Wash has the big edge in the run game and their pass D has been playing very well. Now Philly could finally explode on offense and cover this game with ease, but Philadelphia is only 2-4 ats in its last 6 games when playing Washington. I like the home dog in this divisional game. Unfortunately, Washington is 4-10 straight up in its last 14 games at home
2-7 ATS in its last 9 games at home.
Jacksonville @ Indy -9 (2)
Jacksonville has not faired well in this series for quite some time. Jack are 0-5 ats in the last 5 games when playing Indianapolis. Jacksonville is 3-6-1 ats in its last 10 games on the road and 7-13-2 ats in its last 22 games. Indianapolis is 18-6-1 ats in its last 25 games at home. Indy at 1-2 and 0-3 ats and coming off a big road W at Tenn where they failed to cover the game because of a late TD by Tenn. After the embarrassment handed to them by the Jets at home, I expect a much better performance at home against a team they have owned and with the shot at evening their mark to 2-2 and 2-0 in division play. Luck is a lot better than he's played and they finally got the offense going at Tenn. Jack coming off a 51-17 beating at New England and while I don't expect that to happen this Sunday, I do think the Colt's win by DD'S.
Detroit @ Seattle -9 1/2 (2)
Sometimes you got to lay a lot of the points when you play the much better team who are always a tough out at home. Detroit at 0-3, and 0-3 ats are in a mess. Stafford deserves a better fate than he's getting in Detroit. He's a gamer and he's going to get hurt. It's just a matter of time with the number of hits he's taking. Detroit is 0-5 straight up in its last 5 games and 1-7 ATS in its last 8 games on the road. I don't think that their will be any chance of a Seattle let down, since they are only 1-2 this is a game that they have to have at home. They do play at Cincy next week. Detroit playing their 3rd road game in 4 weeks. What a brutal schedule at San Diego, at Minny, Denver, and now at Seattle. Monday nighter that hopefully we see Wilson at his best!
Rams @ Zona -7 (2)
Rams at 1-2 and were expected to be a contender this season. They very well might be, but they may have to wait another week. Zona at 3-0 and 3-0 ats and have been playing even better than expected. (by that I mean thumping teams) They have won by margins of 12, 25, and 40, while only giving up 16.3 ppg with that Defense.
St. Louis is 4-13 SU in its last 17 games when playing Arizona
St. Louis is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games when playing Arizona
St. Louis is 2-6 ATS in its last 8 games when playing on the road against Arizona
Arizona is 9-1 SU in its last 10 games at home
So when it comes down to it, this is the kind of team that I like to have on my side when it comes to gambling. Any bet can lose, but I do like Zona in this one.
3 team 10 point teaser -120 (1) I wanted Indy on the tease but the game is off the board for some reason, anyone know why?
Zona +3
Seattle +1/2
Wash +13
Good luck and always bet reasonable
