Last week: 27 (-2) Record: 4-8 Matt McGloin has been decent through 3 games, completing 62 of 109 for 799 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions, stealing the starting job away from a struggling Terrelle Pryor. However, Raiders fans anointing him a starting caliber quarterback need to remember that they…

Last week: 30 (+0) Record: 2-9 Coming into this week, 24 of the NFL’s 32 teams were either in a playoff spot or within 1 game of a playoff spot. Of the 8 who weren’t, 4 of them made the playoffs last year, including this Falcon team. The Falcons, Texans,…

Last week: 31 (+0) Record: 2-8-1 The Vikings blew their chance at a win last week as Green Bay came back to tie it, but it might have been more beneficial to lose that game at this point. Tying essentially locks them out of the #1 pick unless Houston, Jacksonville,…

Last week: 32 (+0) Record: 2-9 The Jaguars may have won 2 games, but make no mistake about it, this is still one of the all-time bad NFL teams. While their two wins have been close by a touchdown or less, all 9 of their losses have come by double…

Miami Dolphins (5-6) at New York Jets (5-6) The Jets snapped their streak of alternating wins and losses by losing in Baltimore last week and now sit at 5-6. Geno Smith seems to have hit a rookie wall, completing 25 of 64 (39.1%) for 345 yards (5.39 YPA), no touchdowns,…

Continue reading →: New York Giants at Washington Redskins: 2013 Week 13 NFL Pick
New York Giants (4-7) at Washington Redskins (3-8) I’m torn on this one. On one hand, this line seems pretty off at first glance. The Giants aren’t significantly better than the Redskins, which is what this line would suggest, as the Giants are favored in Washington. The Redskins were favored…

Arizona Cardinals (7-4) at Philadelphia Eagles (6-5) The Eagles snapped their 10 game home losing streak before the bye against the Redskins, beating them 24-16 in a game that wasn’t really even as close as that final score. The big difference was they had Nick Foles under center. Foles proved…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings: 2013 Week 13 NFL Pick
Chicago Bears (6-5) at Minnesota Vikings (2-8-1) The Vikings are favored here for the 3rd time this season. The first two times didn’t go well. They lost straight up at home as touchdown plus favorites over the Browns week 3 and then they got blown out as small home favorites…

WR Nate Burleson (Detroit) Percent owned (ESPN): 3.0% Nate Burleson returned from injury last week and didn’t waste any time, catching 7 passes for 77 yards and a touchdown. He might not do that every week, but he’ll be the #2 option in an explosive passing offense from here on…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars at Cleveland Browns: 2013 Week 13 NFL Pick
Jacksonville Jaguars (2-9) at Cleveland Browns (4-7) One of the most powerful trends in betting is known as the six and six trend, meaning teams who finish with 6 wins or fewer are 25-69 ATS as favorites of 6 or more since 2002. There are two issues with this trend.…
