Vinnie’s Pick$ and Pa$$es – Week 8

Back again, thanks Mickey for filling in last week.  It’s hard to be a gangsta with all those family requirements these days.  Vinnie’s working on his business, and expanding his empire with a sports bar and niteclub.

Let’s look back at week 6, ah, never mind.  Just the facts, in week 6, Vinnie went 1-1, splitting his two 5 star games.  Let’s move on, and look at this week #8.

St. Louis +9 @ San Diego:  St. Louis coming off a Bye, San Diego coming off a tough, last minute loss to division Rival Kansas City.  St. Louis should be well prepared for this game, and San Diego with conservative coach Marty S is not a good ATS (Against the Spread) as a large favorite.  Take the Rams to keep it closer than the 9 points they are getting.  Rams +9 ****

New England -2 @ Minny:  Minny has been playing some tough ball, and handed the Seahawks a decisive loss last week.  New England easily topped Buffalo last week.  Tom Brady is not having a very Brady-like year, and Minny plays a lot of close games.  Look for this to be a tight field position game, won by a late FG, and Minny should be able to cover the small spread if not win outright.  This is a live home dog on Monday Night Football.  Back the Vikings +2 ****

OK – Two four star games this week, let’s start another undefeated streak.

St. Louis +9 ****

Minnesota +2 ****
