Week
5 NFL "Fantasy Picks"
Holy vig Batman! It seems that
every game except NO is carrying an extra load
to bet my selected team. KC is -125: BAL is
-120 and SD is -115. What ever happened to a
dime line?
I don't know if I will make any
bets if the juice remains that high, Maybe a
parlay. Why don't they move the line? I'll have
to shop the bookies. Maybe I'll find one that
is more realistic.
Right now though, it's time for
Week 5, and so let's take a look at what picks
we have to choose from.
Computer kicked out 4 games.
KC -3 vs Arizona
Bal +4 vs Denver
NO -6.5 vs Tampa Bay
SD -3 vs Pittsburgh
KC -3 looks pretty good. I’ll
have money on this one. KC is a solid favorite
to cover and yards per play and first downs
are tilted in their favor. The only negative
here is the replacement of Warner by Leinart.
The Rookie might but some life into a listless
Arizona offense. ‘Puter often has problems
when dealing with a replacement QB.
Baltimore +4 at Denver: I’ll
have money on this one too. Baltimore’s
Defense should force Denver to rely on Plummer
and that doesn’t bode well for the Broncos.
I looked for a reason to toss this game but
just couldn’t find a good one. So, the
money is going down on this one.
NO -6.5 vs Tampa Bay. Everything
points to the Saints in this one, but I don’t
like it. ‘Puter really likes this one
but there is a replacement QB and ‘puter
often brain farts in this situation. Tampa Bay,
can’t really be that bad, and I’m
sure the Saints are that good. The key may be
the two ailing OFF linemen from Tampa Bay. If
the Saints can exploit it and get in the Rookie’s
face, he might have a hard time. I’m still
thinking about this one.
SD -3 vs Pittsburg. Well this
is another one. ‘Puter really likes the
Chargers but the Steelers are the defending
Champs. The game will probably key on how well
Rothlisberger does. If he gets it together and
does not throw interceptions, this will be a
bad bet. ‘Puter might be right on this
one but I’ll skip it.
