Week 9 was a rough one… for everyone… We went 8-6 straight up to bring our total on the year to 86-49, and we went an impressive 3-1 ATS to bring that total to 20-11 on the year. Definitely not our best week but we still were positive like we have been every week this NFL season.
Another potentially crappy Thursday night matchup with the Ravens at the Dolphins. Both teams are coming off of a win, but the Dolphins win does not say much because it was against the worst team I’ve seen in years… The Texans… The Ravens have one of the best run games in the league and the Dolphins have continually had a QB problem this year. Look for the Ravens defense to blitz the hell out of the Miami O-line and cause a lot of problems for the Dolphins. The Ravens win this game easily. This is one of my favorite games ATS.
Pick: Ravens / Ravens (-7.5)
The Cardinals should be getting Kyler Murray back and that will be a big factor in this game especially against a stout Carolina defense. The Panthers offense is an absolute mess and their starting QB is now going to be out for a few weeks. They just signed Cam Newton this morning but that won't make a difference this week. The Cardinals should win this one easily.
Pick: Cardinals
This is a super fun matchup this week as both starting QBs for each team should be back. Russell Wilson has missed a few weeks and the Seahawks have struggled without him. The same can be said for the Packers because last week they were flat out terrible without Aaron Rodgers. This should be a high scoring game and will be fueled by the fire power of both these electric QBs. I'm taking the home team and the better team in this one and that's the Packers.
Pick: Packers
This divisional matchup is always fun between these two teams. The Chiefs seemed to get back on track in the second half against the Packers last week which is a promising sign for Kansas City. The Raiders however self imploded against a weaker Giants team in their loss last week. These divisional matchups are always closer than they are perceived to be but this one the spread is pretty close. The Chiefs are a horrible 2-7 ATS on the year and the Raiders are 4-4. I think that the Raiders get back on track and this one and put up a good game against Mahomes and the Chiefs. I'm going with the home underdog in this one.
