Ben's Picks

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

  • Loser - 5* Indy v JETS --- Jets gave up 475 yards to Buffalo, but got 3 TO’s. Indy won’t stall in the red zone.

 

  • Loser - 5* New Orleans v CAROLINA --- Saints let it all hang out on Mon Night, hungry Cats chew them up.

 

  • WINNER - 4* Arizona v ATLANTA --- Cards still can’t protect QB. Vick makes Ariz shoddy run D cry Uncle.

 

  • WINNER - 4* San Diego v BALTIMORE --- QB Rivers not ready for Ray-Ray and company on the road.

 

  • WINNER - 3* New England v CINCY --- Bengals have several injuries and let down after Pitt. Pats bounce back
