11/9 NFL Picks

As we are now in November, finally getting the feel for a few teams and hope to have Big Sunday.

Tampa Bay -3 -Similar situation to Green Bay @ Minnesota last Sunday. If they lose, they will fall 4 games out of division lead (3 back but in essence 4 as they would have lost twice to Panthers) with 7 to play. This would be insurmountable since no NFL team has come back to win division when 4 games out.

Dallas -4 - Buffalo has been terrible on the road (Miami,NY Jets, Kansas City). Though they had bye week, it won't help them this week against the Boys and Parcells. Parcells will get into Bledsoe's head with defensive schemes and pressure and will force the turnovers.

Washington +3 - Redskins have been struggling of late but Seahawks have lost last 2 road games at Green Bay and Cincinnati. Redskins have played well at home this year and with Seahawks coming across country I like Redskins to win straight up in this one.

San Diego/Minnesota over 44 - With Flutie playing, SD offense should pick up and their defense definitely won't stop Vikings. Look for shootout and easy cover.

Good luck!

Adding 2 more games....

Tennessee -5 Without Zack Thomas and banged up Surtain, Miami will significantly weaker on defense which will help a well rested Titans team cover the number.

Cleveland +9.5 - Browns have been decent on the road this year while struggling at home. Both teams off of bye but Browns have more to play for if they want to get back in weak division race. Expect low scoring game with Browns as a live dog in this one.
