2010 NFL Week 5 Picks and Podcast

Ok so week 4 wasn’t so great but we held our own against the ESPN crew and they only pick straight up. Ryan’s 9-5 against the spread last week was one of the best around the interwebs. This week’s lineup of games is really weak. Out of 14 games, there are maybe 3 worth really paying attention to. Nevertheless, we’ve got insight into every game, crappy or not. (The games that is, not the insight.)

The featured games this week are KC @ Indy, NY Giants @ Houston, Tennessee @ Dallas, and Minnesota @ NY Jets. We also discuss the MLB playoffs.

This week’s NFL betting odds are from Betus.

2010 NFL Week 1 Picks and Podcast

It’s football season! Every season, I give the excuse that week 1 is the hardest week to pick. But looking at the results from last season might give us some insight into what will happen this week. Opening day 2009 gave us only 3 underdogs winning outright and they were all away: Jets @ Texans, Niners @ Cards, and Broncos @ Bengals.

As far as against the spread goes, it was an even split between underdogs and favorites. But 7 of those underdog winners were away. Vegas tends to lean towards the home team a little so the trick here is to find those dogs.

The featured games this week are Cincinnati @ New England, Indianapolis @ Houston, Dallas @ Washington, and Baltimore @ NY Jets.
