Week 9 Reactions

Week 9

1. Thank you Packers for covering the spread against the overrated SD Chargers. Rivers threw 6 TDs, four to SD wideouts and two to Packer DBs. Aaron Rodgers cannot be stopped---always take GB with any point spread under a TD, anywhere at any time. Too easy.
2. The SF 49ers win and cover again. They are now 7-0-1 ATS and have the best play calling in football. They dominated the Skins on the road, allowing a late garbage time TD and a 59-yd FG. Stay on them each week.
3. The NY Jets are starting to look dangerous. The Jets D looked fantastic and absolutely dominated the once fierce Bills. We need to respect the Jets from now on. They are built for cold weather and should continue to improve on offense.
4. The Cincy Bengals won on the road at Tennessee behind heroics by rookie QB Dalton. They are now 6-2 overall and 4-1 on the road this year. They even better 7-1 ATS. They host the Steelers this weekend, a win and the playoffs look legit.
5. Home Favorites Lost Big Games. Eagles and Patriots. Both blew second half leads against more desperate teams. Another note on these games--the spreads have been larger this season than normal. I don't like giving over a TD unless teams are playing bottom of the barrel competition. The Giants and Bears are solid teams with good defenses. Bad combo for giving away a lot of points.
6. Two teams come off their bye week-Carolina and Detroit-both 5-2-1 ATS. I like both for the stretch run. Carolina hosts Tennessee next week and Detroit gets Chicago. 
7. Indianapolis Blows (Again). Like I said last week, take advantage of them at all times. Jags minus 3 points seems fine. The Colts cannot run or pass, they scored once this past week and it came on defense. Sad. Take the Jags this weekend!
8. The STL Rams are also pathetic. They are 1-7 ATS and managed to blow another game last week at Arizona against the backup QB. They were getting 3.5 points, but lost by 6 on a 99-yard punt return in overtime. Amazing! They are on the road this weekend at Cleveland. Do not watch this game. UGLY, low scoring game.
9. KC and Oakland losing horrible games at home. Haha. Tebow strikes down the evil empire. Sweet justice. Tebow heads to KC next week. KC got obliterated by Miami 31-3 on Sunday. Miami's first win all year! Watch for Tebow to take it to the Chiefs this week as well. Denver is 3-1 ATS on the road and should run all over KC, plus they get 3.5 points. Get on the Broncos!
