Still doing pretty well with the oblong ball at both ranks, as I went 5-0-2 for +10 units in college Saturday, and the NFL has been cruising along pretty well also.
Kind of a small card, maybe not as unpopular as normal, but I think it's full of winners nonetheless.
NFL Sides (5-3, +2.00 units)
2* Steelers -1 (-105) - Everywhere I look, it's Cincy and Jax, Cincy and Jax. I don't know if this is some kind of overreaction to Monday night - which was very predictable, considering how much better shape Jax was in, and how much more the game meant to them - but the Steelers have to be more than a 1 point favorite at home against Cincy. The simple fact of the matter is that the Bengals aren't on the Jags level defensively, and I think the running game gets going a lot more smoothly for the Steelers this week, which opens up everything else. The Bengals are beat up as well.
1* Browns +7 (-104) - Going against my darkhorse Super Bowl champion here in what should be a lowscoring game. Points at a premium, and I'll gladly back the 0-2 home dog against the 2-0 road fave in this spot.
1* Seahawks -3.5 (+104) - (Not crazy about buying down to 3 here for 25 cents) Seattle simply has one of the most dominant home field advantages in the history of the NFL, and this is a fantastic spot to fade the Giants, off a fluky miracle win at one of their biggest rivals. Now they go across the country, as they did in week 3 last year, getting killed by the Chargers.
NFL Totals (7-3-1, +3.83 units)
2* Bears/Vikings Under 35.5 (-106)
1* Packers/Lions Over 39 (-102)
