Week 9 treated me well. I went 9-4 bringing the season total to 61-53-3. The Bengals won which still keeps me alive in a double elimination survivor league. Teams used: Denver, New England, Detroit, Green Bay, San Diego Pittsburgh, Seattle (loss #1), Kansas City, and Cincinnati.
I’ll try to keep the momentum going into week 10…
Browns +6.5 over @ Bengals
I think the Bengals win this game but by no more than a field goal.
Chiefs -1.5 over @ Bills
Kansas City is cruising right now and I still don’t believe in Buffalo.
@ Lions -5 over Dolphins
This seems like a sucker’s bet to take Miami after a huge win over San Diego. I’m not falling into that trap.
Cowboys -7 over Jaguars @ London
Even without Romo I think Dallas can get it done. (Most books don’t have a line on this game given Tony Romo’s injury situation)
49ers +4.5 over @ Saints
As down as I’ve been on the Niners all year I think they have a real chance at not only covering but also winning this game.
Titians +10 over @ Ravens
The Titans are bad but they are not that bad. I have faith in Zach “Selfie” Mettenberger.
Steelers -5 over @ Jets
This line seems too close to me which makes me nervous but I have to go with Ben Roethlisberger’s hot hand (no pun intended.)
@ Buccaneers +1 over Falcons
I have been putting my money on Glennon all year and I won’t stop now. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Broncos -11.5 over @ Raiders
I’d still take Denver if the spread were 16.
@ Cardinals -7 over Rams
Arizona has won by 9 or more points 5 times this season.
Giants +9 @ Seahawks
Legion of Whom?
Bears +7 @ Packers
I have a soft spot for Jay Cutler. I can’t help it.
@ Eagles -6 over Panthers
Return of the Sanchise.
Survivor: Cowboys
Easily the most hesitant I’ve been all year to make a survivor pick. The Cowboys find ways to disappoint.
