Wys and I have been throwing around the idea of starting a handicappers corner. I dont know how many of you are gamblers here, but I do wager on NFL football almost every weekend.
I typically bet three games a week. Wys wants to kind of keep a running poll of record ect going. i think there are a couple others that he is going to invite.
anyways, here are my wagers that i will be going with this weekend. It is always smart to go light on the bets early on, while getting a feel for the teams, but these matchups stood out to me. sometimes you can also catch vegas sleeping early on.
BEST BETS>>>>>>
Jets vs Redskins (-3) - I like the Jets here. Washington has no one left to stop the run. Vinny shouldn't have to be much of a factor, as I see the Jets pounding the ball with a healthy Curtis Martin. They will try to control the clock, and push Ramsey into costly mistakes. I will take the points.
Colts vs Browns (-1) - I like Indy here. Cleveland just lost their starting LT, Verba, for the season. Indy's defense should be improved, while Clevelands should be worse. I will take the points.
Patriots vs. Bills (-1) UNDER 46.5 - The over/under in this game is predicting around 23 points a team, and looks too high to me. I think both defenses are improved enough that this will be a tight game that will yield a low final score. Want an incredible stat to show the nature of the matchup between these two teams? the UNDER is 9-1 in the last 10 games they have played. the last time the game went over was in 1998, when NE won 25-21 at home, with Drew Bledsoe at the helm for the pats.
