Week 5: The Bets

The Doc had a crazy weekend. He started hot winning his first three bets (Thank you Detroit Lions and THANK YOU Tony Romo). So the Doc had high hopes heading into the late games on a winning streak with three more bets in place. Unfortunately, not one of the three Dogs covered (Cards were oh so close) and the weekend ended a push. For the season the Doc is down $0.50. So on to this week's games!

The Doc continues to love the Titans who are getting three on the Road against a Pitt team that suddenly looks mortal. The Titans are a team built to hang with the Steelers- good lines, running game, few turnovers from the QB.

The Colts have started 0-4 and the season is basically on the line the next two weeks against the Chiefs and Bengals. These two games might be the last 2 games the Colts will be favored this season without Manning. I think the offense is looking better with Curtis Painter and KC is probably in for a let down after winning at home last week.

The Bills are getting 2.5 at home against the Eagles which means a lot of people are playing the 'Eagles must be desperate' card. But I think the Bills stack up pretty well with the Birds. The can defend the pass and they can run a little bit. I like the Bills to take this one at home.

San Diego is giving only 4.5 against the Broncos. I try not to over react from week to week, but I think this might be giving the Broncos a little too much credit. They look like they are a bit of a mess.

Jets are getting a mind boggling 9 against the Pats. I can't figure this one out. The Jets struggle against a couple of physical teams that can run the ball (Oakland and Balt). The Pats are neither of those. The Jets are pretty good against the pass (#2) and hate the Pats. I look for a close, lower scoring game here so I took the points and parlayed with the under.

The last bet was mostly just for fun. I teased down 3 home teams which I think have favorable match-ups. I already said that I like the Bills and I think Carolina at home can hang with the Saints. Seattle on the road against a physical Giants squad seems like a bad match-up. I think the Giants can easily cover the -3 point.

Good Luck!
