NFL Week 14 Picks
First, the good news: my straight picks were 5-0 last week. The bad news is that only one of my five teaser legs hit, leaving me 5-4, +2.8 units for the week. For the season, I stand at 40-54, -11.3 units. I do not lack for bullets, so I will keep firing...but only one teaser this week.
Oakland at Green Bay over 50 points: I don't know if the Packers will cover their large spread this week, but they have been a good bet on the 'over' every week. I'm going to ride that horse.
New Orleans -3 at Tennessee: This is just the type of game the Saints no-show, sometimes. I'm figuring they will seize the opportunity to sew up their division.
New England -7.5 at Washington: I have to believe that Patriots are at least ten points better than the Redskins, even on the road.
San Francisco at Arizona under 40 points: I don't think Arizona can get to 20 here, and I don't think the Niners can get much past that either.
Buffalo at San Diego over 47.5 points: The Bills are pretty decent on offense, not very good on defense. Likewise for the Chargers. The weather, of course, will not be an impediment. This feels like a 34-31 type game.
Here's my teaser legs for the week. One loss if any of them lose, 1.8 units if they all win.
Houston +8.5 at Cincinnati
New England -1.5
Carolina +8.5 vs. Atlanta
