Well, all three of my selections won last week (the Jets, Texans and Eagles) and the team I told you to avoid that may have looked good on paper (the Buffalo Bills), lost. So hopefully you took my advice last week. Let’s take a look at the week ahead.
The Rules:
1.
Stay away from road teams.
2.
Stay away from divisional matchups.
3.
Never take a divisional team on the road.
4.
On to Week 9…
Jets @ Bills – Tempting to go with the Bills since the Jets are awful, but it’s a divisional game and I’ll stay away.
Lions @ Bears – Lions, in
Jaguars @ Bengals – Stay away even though the Jags can’t lose this one.
Ravens @ Browns – A dog fight in the dawg pound.
Packers @ Titans – When will the Titans lose? Could it be this week after the big MNF defeat of the Colts? This should be a good NFC-AFC battle.
Cardinals @ Rams – Big NFC West game.
Texans @ Vikings – Wow, there are a lot of close games this week.
Bucs @ Chiefs – Road game for the Bucs after that tough loss in
Dolphins @ Broncos –
Falcons @ Raiders – Don’t like going with road teams across the country.
Cowboys @ Giants – Tempting to go with Big Blue, but it’s still the Cowboys and you’ve probably used the Giants anyway, so this is probably a moot point.
Eagles @ Seahawks – Eagles should win this one with Matt Hasselbeck still sidelined for the Seahawks, but I have more faith in
Patriots @ Colts – Colts are a gutsy pick this week to rebound as they need the win to avoid starting 3-5. It’s risky, but it may be worth it with the minimal options this week.
Steelers @ Redskins – Avoid. Great MNF matchup, though.
Choices:
1.
2.
If I had to pick a third, I’d go with the Eagles, but prefer the other two if you have them.
I
recommend taking the Bears
this week over the Bucs because they are home. The Lions being winless does concern me a bit, but
There are not many options this week, so hopefully you will survive and advance!
