Ben's Picks

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

  • Loser - 5* Arizona v WASHINGTON --- UNDER the Total --- The Cards are starting newcomer Tim Rattay versus a much improved Washington defense. The Skins O-line shuffled due to injury. Look for a conservative game plan by both teams.

 

  • WINNER - 5* Baltimore v BUFFALO --- Ravens O-line in turmoil, Bills off a Bye week and should be able to pressure QB Boller with quick Defensive Ends.

 

  • Loser - 4* Indy v JAX --- The Jags always play the Colts tough and QB Garrard is not making mistakes. Jags are a great home dog.

 

  • WINNER - 3* Arizona v WASHINGTON --- Conservative game plan benefits Cards plus the significant points. Check out a parlay with the UNDER.

 

  • Loser - 3* San Fran v GIANTS --- Niners in off a Bye and get back QB Smith. G-Men in tough spot after win on Monday Night and game in London on deck. Take the major wood.
