Continue reading →: Has Tom Brady lost it?
After the Patriots lost to the Seahawks, I tweeted (@stevenlourie) this: “Cue a week long of columns about how Tom Brady has “lost it.” Seattle is a good team, especially at home. This is not surprising.” One of the things I love to talk about when I make picks is…

Continue reading →: Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers: Week 7 NFL Pick
Seattle Seahawks (4-2) at San Francisco 49ers (4-2) On Thursday Night, the rule of thumb is to always take a home favorite. It makes sense. Favorites tend to be proven, veteran teams, or at least in comparison to the road team. Meanwhile, the road team has to travel on a…

RB William Powell (Arizona) Percent owned (ESPN): 2.4% In his first extended action since leading the league in rushing during the preseason, William Powell looked great as Arizona’s new lead back with Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams out, rushing for 70 yards on 13 carries. I have no idea why…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings at Washington Redskins: Week 6 NFL Pick
Minnesota Vikings (4-1) at Washington Redskins (2-3) There’s still no line posted for this for some reason, even though Robert Griffin is widely expected to play, but I’m going to do this write up anyway. Last week, the line was Washington -2 for this game, so I’d be surprised if…

Continue reading →: Green Bay Packers at Houston Texans: Week 6 NFL Pick
Green Bay Packers (2-3) at Houston Texans (5-0) I feel pretty much exactly the same way about this one as I did about San Francisco/NY Giants. With the favorite, we are getting line value and the opportunity to fade a public underdog. However, with the dog, we’re getting a team…

Continue reading →: Detroit Lions at Philadelphia Eagles: Week 6 NFL Pick
Detroit Lions (1-3) at Philadelphia Eagles (3-2) The Detroit Lions sit at 1-3 and have yet to cover a spread. As someone who called them overrated to start the season and subsequently went against them in each of their first 4 games, I’m pretty happy about that. However, right now…

Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders at Atlanta Falcons: Week 6 NFL Pick
Oakland Raiders (1-3) at Atlanta Falcons (5-0) Matt Ryan is 27-5 in his career at home, including 22-10 ATS and the Falcons are 5-0. The Raiders, meanwhile, are 1-3, coming off a blowout loss to the Broncos (before the bye) and have to travel to Atlanta and play a 1…

Continue reading →: New York Giants at San Francisco 49ers: Week 6 NFL Pick
New York Giants (3-2) at San Francisco 49ers (4-1) The San Francisco 49ers are the best team in the league. At least that’s what yards per play differential says and it’s not even really close. They are gaining 1.9 yards per play more than they are allowing and they rank…
