Ben's Picks

All trends are ATS (Against The Spread) unless otherwise specified.

  • Loser - 5* Tampa v NEW ORLEANS --- Bucs not the same without Garcia at QB. Saints get back in the game with a win.

 

  • WINNER - 4* Jacksonville v INDY --- Jags play Colts tough and it’s all on the line here.

 

  • WINNER - 4* Giants v CHICAGO --- If it weren’t for Devon Hester the Bears would be the Court Jester.

 

  • WINNER - 4* Jets v MIAMI --- Jets off extra rest and Fish shouldn’t be spotting anyone.

 

  • Loser - 3* Houston v TENNESSEE --- The Titans are not.
 
Pick Results = 3-2 for +4*
