NFL Week 16
Carolina -4
Newton is playing today, they are at home, still in the NFC South fail title hunt, and most importantly, I get to keep betting against Johnny Manziel!
Oakland +7 (-120)
Way too many points vs Buffalo, who have a great defense but Kyle Orton as QB. Both of Oakland’s wins have come at home. As Miracle Covers contributor and Bills fan Nick told me last night…..if you bet the Bills getting a TD in any situation, you deserve to lose your money. They’ll probably win the game by a FG, 16-13, if i had to guess an exacta.
Atlanta +6 (-105)
This game will be decided by a FG; historically these two teams have always played close games, no matter the record. Also for an inside track to the NFC South title…so expect a playoff style, grind it out game. Julio Jones is also active for the Dirty Birds.
IND vs DAL Under 55
A lot of point for a pretty important game for both teams, and their horses (Hilton for IND, Murray for DAL) are banged up and may not play. As a side note, our boy Cousin Sal gave me a shout out in this week’s prop bets column!
Seattle -8
It’s Ryan Lindley (who in his last start vs Seattle, lost 58-0. He’s also never thrown a TD pass in his career in 151 straight passing attempts) vs Russell Wilson. I pick Russell Wilson.
TEASER:
Seattle -8 and NE -11
As Bill Simmons mentioned in his last column, ” If you lose, you do so to either Geno Smith or Ryan Lindley (vs Brady and Wilson). Acceptable odds.” You can also throw any 3rd team of your choice; ideas for that third team? DET -9, KC +3, CAR -4.
