View Full Version : NFL ATS Picks, Week 14

Went 5-2 last week. Giants was my worst pick of the week... I figured they would move the ball but underrated their lousy rush defense and the neutralization of their pass rush against RG III.

Early leans:

Denver -10 - laying 10 points in a road game is usually a bad idea... but I can't see any reason not to pick Denver here. Denver along with Houston/San Fran are the 3 most "complete" teams IMO... Denver has a pass rush and an elite QB... Oakland has NO pass rush whatsoever and is horrible against the pass... spells disaster against Manning. Their offense is alright, but I don't think they can keep this game close.

Minnesota +3- This is a revenge spot for the Vikes, as they lost to the Bears 2 weeks ago. the Bears offensive line is still horrible, but relying on Ponder against that defense is risky. The stats on Chicago's run D v Minnesota's run O are interesting. Minny is really weak at power running while Chicago is really good at containing power run... while Minny is really strong at open field/5+ runs (obviously w/ AD) while Chicago is weak defensively. Obviously Chicago's scheme plays a factor in that. I think the value lies in taking the points here.

Miami +10- Miami's running defense is pretty strong, which could be a problem as SF is highly reliant on the run. Miami has allowed less than 2 offensive TD's in 9/12 games this year and has lost 2 OT games, and 3 games by 3 points. It's a competitive football team. Lots of value in taking 10 points here, even against a complete team like San Fran.

Redskins -1- Baltimore is an average football team in nearly all phases despite their 9-3 record. Their running defense is mediocre. After watching Washington on Monday I think their offense is a nightmare to defend. Washington fields an average defense, not a bad defense... their offense is among the best in the league. I like Washington a lot here.

Cincy -3 - This stood out to me immediately, I might make an early bet on this... Watching Bengals v the Chargers I noticed... this team is pretty physical... running the ball and their linemen on D have motors... one of the best pass rushes in the league... dynamic receivers, physical run game. This is actually a pretty good football team. The Cowboys... decent pass rush, but pretty average in all other phases.

Texans +4 ... I hate the idea of fading Brady, but Houston to me is a complete team with no weaknesses... the QB is there, the run game is there, they have an elite WR... they have a pass rush... New England on the other hand is still weak defensively, Gronk is out...against the 3 best defensive teams they've played this year (AZ/SEA/MIA), they've been held under 24 points... but yes their offense is explosive and the Texans LBs have been ravaged by injuries... still think a lot of value lies in taking the points in what expects to be a really good/close game.

I goof around here because it's funny watching the kids. In reality I use Jason as my $$$$ maker. Been with him a few seasons now, he is a winner.

Friday mornings at 8:30 Pacific Colin Cowherd on...The Herd...picks 5 games, the guy is smoking. I use his picks also. He's something like 45-20.

I look at a number of historical trends/stats, pick the games I like then see what Jason and Colin have to say. Haven't had a losing week all season. 110 to win a 100, I look for three games where I liked it, Jason liked it as did Colin.

I also look at what Wickersham/Mortensen think. Ideal scenario is everyone agrees on a favorite winning the game. I don't worry about the number.

The internet is full of guys wanting to show off their ability to pick games, tons! So you find a few who really are good at it, now if you see a bunch of them agreeing on a play chances are it's pretty solid and it usually is.

Cowherd has gone 4-1 for a couple months now until this week, where he went 3-2, I played all those plays and the consensus over at CBS.

I do study using the methods that Wayne Root teachs, I also have all the stats and trends thanks to another gambling guru Mark Lawrence. I have a couple books on the fundamentals and yes they do exist. But to be great at it it takes time and a lot of it. So I take a few hours ona Monday night while watching the games, pick the 5-7 plays I like then on Wednesday check with Jason at CBS seeing if he agrees then on Friday check out Cowherds 5 plays. Obviously looking for agreement. Works like a charm.

It doesn't really matter what you believe all I can tell you is right over there....Marc Lawrence Playbook...choked full of every stat/trend/betting angle there is. I have that book for a reason, why do I know about Jason, why do I watch The Herd? How come I can take you to anoher half dozen sites talking point spread winners? Why do I even talk about it at all?

Denver at Oakland. Denver better than ever the Raiders totally sucking, sure we'll see the Raiders as a double digit dog, but the number won't be too big. The Broncos without Manning 4-1 vs the spread in this "spot'. The Raiders giving up tons of points now here comes Peyton Manning. The Broncos need the game, the Raders want to go home, call it a season.

I like that play, now I'll see what others think. Maybe I'm on the wrong side there something I'm missing.

locked in: Denver -9.5, Cincy -3

crossed a few leans off the list... still leaning Redskins -2.5, Texans +3.5, Giants -5 and thinking of a pick for the Packers/Lions game... that one's tough.

like I said with Denver, laying 10 on the road is usually not wirse... and 8+ point home dogs are 23-2 ATS last 3 years... but I cannot see any reason not to back Denver here. the Oakland defense is downright atrocious right now to the point their own players are admitting it. 7.1 yards per play allowed over the last 5 games and nearly 38 points. Their offense puts up yards sometimes, but not points. Denver is a complete team with an elite QB and a great pass rush... Denver won 37-6 last time and as expected, Manning shredded them. The coach of Oakland appears on the way out. Oakland only keeps this close with turnovers or Denver shooting themselves in the foot with stalled drives/penalties, and I'm not gonna rely on that.

Their offense puts up yards sometimes, but not points. Denver is a complete team with an elite QB and a great pass rush... Denver won 37-6 last time and as expected, Manning shredded them. The coach of Oakland appears on the way out. Oakland only keeps this close with turnovers or Denver shooting themselves in the foot with stalled drives/penalties, and I'm not gonna rely on that.

Denver is a plus 105 as far as points scored/given up, Oakland a weak minus 121. Denver is 4-2 on the road, Oakland a weak 2-4 at home. Denver a 7 game winning streak, Oakland a 5 game losing streak.

Cinncy is 4-0 in this "spot" the last 4 vs Dallas.

Only way Denver doesn't cover is they aren't in the mood to play. Which does happen. I don't see that happening on one of these big only game going on deals.

Avante if he's right.

locked in: Cincy -3

I think Dallas is simply an average team and I'll swallow the 3 points with a Bengals team that has a pretty good pass rush, linemen with motors, physical running game, and great receivers and a solid QB. Cincy is good.

leans:

Minnesota +3- as hard as it is to trust Christian Ponder, I still get the Vikes at home where they're 5-1 on the year against one of the worst offenses in the league. the Bears offensive line is bad by all measures. run blocking, pass protecting you name it. This Bears team has struggled the past 4 weeks, and generated 8 TDs off defense/special teams this year. I think you can call this kind of lucky. Plus the immediate revenge factor for the Vikes, who lost to the Bears 2 weeks ago. Peterson is the best player on the field..

Panthers +3.5 - don't look at records... Panthers have 2 losses via last second FG and an OT loss to the Bucs... Falcons are usually on the lucky end in these close games. It's 11-1 v 3-9... but it's more like 9-3 v 6-6. I took the Falcons -3.5 last week against the Saints but they did not pass the eye test. Their interior routinely got blown up preventing clean pockets for Ryan... and the Panthers defensive line is better than the Saints..they also needed 5 Brees interceptions. Quite frankly, they were outplayed for the majority of the last 3 quarters. They (PAnthers) sacked Ryan 7 times last time. Falcons have no running game, but are also bad defending the run. All I can really say is I haven't watched the Panthers at all this year but they check out as average in a lot of categories, but there's value in them getting spotted 3.5 points at home against a slightly above average Falcons team. It's interesting to note the Panthers average 5.8 yards per play and allow 5.3 yards per play. This +.5 difference is actually one of the better marks in the league, only behind the Broncos and Niners. I'm not saying this stat is that telling, but I think it shows the Panthers are probably the best "bad team" in the league, while the Falcons are the worst "good team" in the league.

Redskins -3 - I'm not necessarily just sipping the RG III Kool Aid, I just think the Ravens, like the Falcons, have an inflated record. It took a miracle 4th and 29 conversion to beat the Chargers, they had 0 offensive TDs in a win v the Steelers, close win v Chiefs, lucky win v Patriots... I mean, the Ravens aren't excellent in any category really. They've also had trouble stopping the run... I think the Redskins' dynamic offense w/ RG III/Morris/Shanahan will give the Ravens fits, so I'll gladly swallow the 3 points. I also don't think Flacco is fully capable of exposing this weak secondary, although he does well against blitzes.

Texans +3.5 - Maybe part of me is just a gambler, because I always feel an urge to bet MNF... unfortunately, I have very little confidence with this pick. Let's just say if the line was pick em or Texans +2.5 I would probably take the Pats. But when I'm getting more than a FG I have to take the more well rounded team with the better defense. Schaub and his receivers can definitely expose this horrendous Patriots pass defense.. but it's hard to guage whether JJ Watt will be disruptive enough to slow down this Pats' offense. Anyway, when I'm getting points in a game between two really good teams, I'll take it if it comes with the team with the better defense.

I don't buy into "don't bet against BRady on primetime" that much... yes he's 12-4, but all that matters is 2012 Texans v 2012 Patriots... what Brady has done in the past doesn't really mater.

BTW, part of me for some reason could see the Patriots blowing the Texans out. I'm probably gonna take the Texans, unless the line magically moves beneath 3... but this would be my least confident pick of the week.

I'm playing my sons picks. It's a kick watching how everybody acts over it.


Not fake just not my own, my son thinks he can pick, hahaha!!!!!! Just having some fuin with it. I go with that guy Jason, Cowherd and that other site. I do pick my plays,looking for agreement.


It was his idea, he gets a kick out of the reaction, no big deal. This week his best friend is going to pick.

Once I saw the climate here and all these young kids without a clue I decided to have some fun and it has been, and will be.
