2024-10-25 12:50:49I went 4-1 last week which brings my two-week run to 8-2, though it’s not enough to salvage Q2 because I was 2-3 in Week 5. Even if I go 5-0 this week, that’s only 15-5, and that won’t cut it to get a share of the prize. But I’d like to keep it going if only to confirm that after a slow start I’m finally getting in sync.
My Picks
Lions -11.5 vs Titans — I rarely take double-digit favorites, but 11.5 seems low to me. In a normal year this would be 14 in Detroit.
Browns +8.5 vs Ravens — This is a big line on the road, and the Browns have to feel good putting the Deshaun Watson fiasco behind them. (Almost like a relaxing massage.) Might also be a look-ahead game after quality wins for the Ravens.
Jets -7 at Patriots — This line is too big, and Drake Maye might turn out to be a player. But this feels like a get-well spot for the Jets after some tough losses.
Bengals -2.5 vs Eagles — The Eagles are a good sell high off a big win against a weak Giants team. The Bengals are slow starters, but they’re starting to get going.
Raiders +8.5 vs Chiefs — This line is up to 9.5 in places, I knew that, but took the Raiders anyway. Just seems like a divisional game where the beaten-down dog shows up.
