Ben's Picks

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

  • WINNER - 5* Houston v GIANTS --- Line value, Texans dominated last week but lost. Giants injuries on Def.

 

  • WINNER 5* Dallas v WASHINGTON --- Skins get revenge for early loss to Dallas, without Portis. Need W.

 

  • Loser 5* New Orleans v TAMPA --- Saints needed a Reggie Bush punt return to beat Tampa at home. Different result on road.

 

  • Loser -  4* Kansas City v ST. LOUIS --- Chiefs not the same team on the road. Rams play hard.

 

  • WINNER - 3* Oakland v SEATTLE --- Raiders got lucky last week. Seahawks a force at home.
