Survivor Pick

Now comes Week Three, and there is no need to wrack your noggin. If the Indianapolis Colts remain in your arsenal of unpicked teams, they are a no-brainer.

As I type these words, Indy is a double-digit favorite over the sad-sack New York Jets, while no other spread is greater than seven.

Why not consider an alternative to the Horseshoes? Let me count the ways — 10, to be exact.

1. The Colts are back home, fresh off a dominant 17-point thrashing of Minnesota.

2. Indy newcomer and ageless QB Philip Rivers owns the third highest pass percentage (77.5) among league starters.

3. Veteran RB Marlon Mack suffers an injury in the opener, leaving the role to rookie Jonathan Taylor, who made a splash with 101 rushing yards.

4. TE Mo Alie-Cox stepped in for ailing Pro Bowler Jack Doyle and caught five balls for 111 yards. Not bad for a player who did not touch a football competitively in college.

5. The Vikes managed 175 measly yards, which would constitute a decent half for most teams.

6. The home-field edge could be heightened with 7,500 fans admitted, three times the limit for the Vikings game.

7. Then there are the Jets, with a pair of double-figure defeats, more recently by 18 against the 49ers, who barely had enough healthy players to deploy.

8. New York has scrounged out three touchdowns, two of them during mop-up time late in decided games.

9. Both games have been all but decided by halftime. The Jets have been outscored 42-6 in first halfs.

10. Coach Adam Tase couldn't resist some colorful mild profanities post-game Sunday, saying, "I'm (bleeped) right now. That (bleep) is no fun, going out there and getting your (bleep) beat."

I bleeping hear ya, Coach.

A half-dozen other teams are favored by six to seven points: Cleveland (over Washington), New England (Las Vegas), the Los Angeles Chargers (Carolina), Philadelphia (Cincinnati), Arizona (Detroit) and Tampa Bay (Denver.)

Tread carefully. All come with flaws. In fact, half of them are stepping away from losses.

After many survivor pools were partly drained in a Week One replete with upsets, form was restored last week.

Seven teams drew considerable interest, according to the website RunYourPool.com, and all skated by. The order of popularity: 49ers, Titans, Packers, Buccaneers, Cardinals, Chiefs and Steelers.

Pittsburgh, which was my choice, cut it too close, winning by five points after fending off a potential game-winning march by Denver. Color me grateful for no longer having to sweat out another game by the unexpectedly shaky Steelers.

OAKLAND -203
SEATTLE @ OAKLAND | 9/25 | 9:40 PM EDT
10:06 AM
The Athletics are 16-0 in the first game of a series with no rest as a favorite of -140 or more when they are coming off a road loss in which they never led. The Mariners are 0-16 as a road dog of +140 when seeking same-season revenge against their opponent’s starting pitcher, losing by more than five runs per game. Oakland is the pick.

KANSAS CITY -153
DETROIT @ KANSAS CITY | 9/25 | 8:05 PM EDT
10:03 AM
The Tigers were close to coming back from a big deficit in the series opener, but they are 0-13 in the second game of a series as a road dog of +120 or more when they lost Game 1 by one run as an underdog. The Royals are a reliable 10-0 as a favorite of more than -130 in the second game of a home series against a divisional opponent that is behind them in the standings. We make the Royals the play.

HOUSTON -180
HOUSTON @ TEXAS | 9/25 | 8:05 PM EDT
9:59 AM
The Astros are a perfect 7-0 this season as a favorite of more than -130 after a game in which Carlos Correa struck out at least twice and 11-0 as a road favorite of more than -130 coming off a road game in which Josh Reddick hit a home run. The Rangers are an ugly 0-9 in the second game of a series when their starter allowed four-plus runs and they lost by five-plus runs in the series opener, getting beat by an average of 5.11 runs. We are on Houston.

CLEVELAND -250
PITTSBURGH @ CLEVELAND | 9/25 | 7:10 PM EDT
9:55 AM
The Indians are 10-0 after a game in which Jose Ramirez had multiple RBI. They also are 14-0 as a favorite in the first game of a series when they are coming off a game as a home favorite and their opponent is seeking same-season revenge for a three-game sweep, as long as they were not favorites of -200 or more in each of the three games. Pittsburgh is 0-25 as a road underdog of +160 or more after a game in which they had at least two hits and left fewer than 10 runners on base. We are on Cleveland.

L.A. DODGERS -210
L.A. ANGELS @ L.A. DODGERS | 9/25 | 9:40 PM EDT
9:50 AM
The Angels are on a three-game winning streak, but this is a spot in which the Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw have been especially focused. The Dodgers are 15-0 as a favorite of -150 or more with Kershaw starting when facing a team that is on a winning streak of three or more. They've won these 15 games by an average of 3.93 runs. The Angels are 0-14 SU as a road underdog of +170 or more coming off a win in which they trailed, scoring one, two, one, one, two, zero and zero runs in their last seven games in this spot. We are on the Dodgers.

CINCINNATI @ MINNESOTA | 9/25 | 8:10 PM EDT
9:41 AM
Since the start of the 2019 season, the Reds are 0-9 with Tyler Mahle on the mound as a road underdog when he had more strikeouts than hits allowed in his last start. The Twins are 11-0 in the first game of a series with rest as a home favorite of -130 or more after a game in which they hit more home runs than their opponent. We make Minnesota the play.

49-23 IN LAST 72 MLB ML PICKS | +1051

In their last three games in this spot the Braves have averaged 18.3 runs per game. The Red Sox are 0-7 this season as an underdog in the first game of a series with no rest when playing a team that has a better record. We are on the Braves.

Rob V: Friday Comp Play

Friday card has an MLB Platinum Supreme Move, a 5* NBA Game 5 Power System play and College football. MLB Comp play below.

The MLB Comp play is on the Chicago Whitesox at 8:10 eastern. The sox are a nice dog here and they have won 15 of 17 at home and 6 of 7 on Fridays. The Cubs have lost 5 of 6 and We note that road favorites like the Cubs that are off a road favored loss by 5 or more runs and had 4 or less hits are 0-6 since 2004 vs a team that was a road dog in their last game. Cease pitching for the Sox is 3-0 as a home dog. Darvish for the Cubs has only made 2 road starts this year and this will be his toughest one. Look for the Whitesox to win. Rob V- GC Sports
