WEEK 6 NFL PICKS - OCT. 18, 2009

Chiefs +6.5 vs. Redskins (wait to see if I can get 7): the skins have been having trouble scoring this year and that was against the likes of the Rams, Panthers, Buccs and mighty Lions averaging 14 pts. The Chiefs meanwhile beat the Cowboys last week ATS and now they’re getting points vs. the lowly Skins, I’ll take the Chiefs: Score Chiefs 16-Redskins 10. (3 units)

Texans +5 vs. Bengals (seeing +5.5s, so wait to see if steams off Cincy's big win). The public is pounding the Bungholes like they already know the score. Altho Cincy is the better team, the Texans are desperate for a win and may win outright: score: Texans 27-Bengals 24. (3 units)

Ravens +3 vs. Vikings (hoping to get -110 on the +3...will take money line regardless): this is not a strong play and i may lay off this game come game time. it could come down to who has the ball last. Score: Ravens 24-Vikings 21 (.5 units)

Giants +3 vs. Saints (holding out for +3.5 though will take +3 if that's all I can get by gametime) I see it coming down to the wire with two evenly matched teams, meaning the Giants cover with the points, score: Giants 36-Saints 31. (2 units)

JAX -9.5: It’s the season for laying points vs. really bad teams. Gerrard will have his #1 receiver Mike Sims-Walker back after a 1 game suspension and with Maurice Jones-Drew running the ball, the lambs don’t stand a chance. Score Jaguars 36-Rams 10. (4 units)

PIT -14: Willie Parker and Troy Polamalu are due back in the line up this week, and after watching the scrimmage between the Browns and Bills last week, how does anyone think the Brownies will stay within 2 TDs vs. the Steelers? Score: Steelers 36-Browns 3. (2 units)

SEA -3: the Hawks are money at home and with Hasselbeck back in the line-up, the Cards (who barely beat the Texans last week) are facing a fired up Seahawk team, Score Seahawks 33-Cardinals 21 (4 units)

NYJ -9.5: I smell a route of epic proportions. The Bills have tanked it for the season and the Jets with the Sanchez-Edwards attacking duo will be seeking redemption for their losses the past two games. Score: Jets 27-Bills 6. (3 units)

NE -9: Another case of betting against a bad team. The Titans are banged up and have tanked it for the season while the Patriots still have Brady-Welker duo. Score: Patriots 28-Titans 14 (5 units).

BUF/NYJ Under 37.5: (.5 units)
BAL/MIN OVER 43.5: (.5 units)
NYG/NOR OVER 47.5 (1 unit)
WAS/KC UNDER 37.5 (.5 units)
PIT/CLE UNDER 38.5 (.5 units)
