Ben's Picks

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

 

  • Loser - 5* New England v DALLAS --- Boys had 5 turnovers on Monday Night and still won. Teams are fairly equal and Boys a significant home dog. Take the points.

 

  • Loser - 4* Houston v JAX – Texans much improved and Jags are a bad favorite. Take the major points in low scoring affair.

 

  • WINNER - 4* Minny v CHICAGO --- Vikings off a Bye and play the Bears tough. Bears still struggling on offense. Another low scoring game, take the points.

 

  • TIE - 4* Washington v GREEN BAY --- Skins playing tough defense, Packers one dimensional.

 

  • WINNER - 4* Carolina v ARIZONA --- Panthers excel in Dog roll. Cards improved, but not ready to spot pts.
