RestEasy's Picks Week 5

So, let's keep this rolling.

SD -4
This is a game San Diego should win outright and they should be able to cover or push the 4. Denver isn't playing to snuff, they are in a bit of disarray and the fans are against them. One mess up by Orton and out come the misguided Tebow shouts. They do have an edge at home in this divisional matchup but not enough to completely shutdown this 3-1 chargers team.

Oakland +6
Al Davis has passed away and that will energize this team (now and in the future). That is more a shot at Al Davis now (past couple years) not one of Al Davis before senility ran the team. Oakland has been playing well. They lost 1 to a good Buffalo team and they looked good. They lost bad to the pats but hey, it's the pats coming off a loss. They do the same here, bounce back. Houston is a great team (picked them to win the afc south before the season started) but Andre is hurt, their momentum is winding and they are do for a letdown. Usually that's the Colts but not this year.

Indy -2.5
They are the Colts. Yes, they lost Peyton for a while (maybe the year) but they are finding themselves again. Takes some time. Painter knows the offense (he should sitting the bench so long) and knows it in a way similiar to manning (expect to see clark more often). They almost won against pitt, kept it close @ tampa, they win here. Outright win by at least 3 pts.

Carolina +6.5
They are 6th.... 6th! In passing defense. But 31st in rushing defense which has killed them. At home if they can figure out how to stop Sproles they have a chance to keep this close. Sounds crazy a 1-3 team could withstand the saints but they have not lost by more than 7 yet. Even against the packers IN green bay. Not only that but there's a history of the saints having trouble with their lesser division foe. Take it.

Buffalo +2.5
What a joke. The eagles should not have been favored. A 1-3 team favored over a 3-1 team Away is the oddsmakers banking on the Keep Dreaming Team hype. Yes, the eagles need a win but I give next week's divisional game against the skins a must win for them (which they may do). If you can buy the 1/2 pt or if it's gone to +3 even better but even at 2.5 I take the bills at home. KNow what

Over 50 Bills/eagles
It will be high scoring. Neither team can stop much. The bills can be scored on and the eagles have one of the worse run defenses of the league. Fred Jackson by the way will be a fantasy star this weekend.

------------------------
I've been doing a RestEasy Pick 6 of sorts this year picking 6 each week. Then I tend to reply with teasers and such I made or at least how I did on teasers I made. (giants -2.5, bills/eagles over 42.5) but I'll make it an even 10 picks this week.

SF -2.5
Did you know the 9'ers are 4th in rush defense? Yep it's true. Now, their offense isn't anything great. Heck, 29th in passing is downright scary but at home, they win. Tampa Bay is 3-1. They lost to detroit week 1. They beat 2 teams that have ZERO wins. They barely edged out the falcons IN tampa. 9'ers beat the seahawks (big deal) lost to cowboys in OT... Beat Cincy IN cincy, Beat philly IN philly. I go with the more impressive history.

Saints/Panthers OVER 52
Such a high number. It'll be eclipsed by these 2 score happy offenses.

Atlanta +6
Michael Turner will be needed here. Yes, it's Matt Ryan that has the record at home and he will be incredible that night because green bay is 31st in the league against the pass. 31ST! But they are 2nd against the run. If Michael Turner can have a decent night not only do they easily cover but They I think they win. I do have a small wager on moneyline but my real bet is against that spread. Revenge will be had.

That's it good luck to all and enjoy!

Overall
8-4

week 3
4-2
Week 4
4-2

maybe they'll stop favoring the eagles so much now.
Maybe next week but washington coming off a bye will not be easy.

and my Giants ughhh. That's why I didn't wager on them though you never know.

well, 7-2 on the day. Not bad at all. Atlanta was one of my more iffy picks so not all that suprised. GB's pass defence showed up to ruin the spread. Oh well.
Feel better on detroit at home.

already have det -5.

Looking at a teaser of Chicago +14 Over 40 as well.

A little scary that detroit (besides KC) hasn't won by more than 7 in the past 8 game win streak they are on.
I'm thinking Detroit 31 Chicago 24

I'm thinking SF beat TB 48-3; could the same be said for DET and CHI. Is it time for a blowout ?

DET 31 - CHI 13 ?

You got the 13 right.

8-2 on the week for me.
Missed that teaser but hit a 5 and 3 team parlay with Detroit capping them both so a profitable week indeed.
