Closing Lines and Final Scores

 
Ben's Picks

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

  • Loser - 5* Buffalo v DETROIT --- Bills will bounce back from Chicago loss and match up with Lions. Detroit has several injuries on O-Line and Kitna will be running all day.

 

  • WINNER - 4* Cincy v TAMPA --- Bucs desperate and QB Gradkowski off a good showing. Cincy O-line shaky and D giving up major yards rushing.

 

  • Loser - 4* Giants v ATLANTA --- G-Men on downer after H win. Falcons off a bye and ready to roll.

 

  • WINNER - 3* Carolina v BALTIMORE --- The Panthers are putting it all together. Ravens can’t score.

 

  • Loser - 3* San Diego v SAN FRAN --- Chargers and Rivers impressive in Pitt W, but this is too many points to spot with Marty-ball. Niners hold their own at H
 
Picks Results = 2-3 for -5*

Potential BPR Plays

    Remember compare the BPR (Ben’s Power Rating) to the spread, in the chart below, and if there’s a difference of 4 points or more, in your favor, then that’s a potential play. Below are the potential plays for this week; I have already added the 4 points. (Check individual game BPR's for any  line movements):
