BUFFALO +6½ +1.00 over Pittsburgh
The Bills are paying off like a broken slot machine lately and it is no coincidence that their ‘never-say-die’ attitude has coincided with the insertion of Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback. His enthusiasm has spilled over and was never more evident than in last week’s enormous comeback and ultimate pounding of the Bengals. If Pittsburgh comes in here expecting a pushover, they’d better think again. With the Steelers long list of injured players, both on and off the field and with a huge tilt upcoming next week in Baltimore, they’ll have anything but an easy time of it here. Play: Buffalo +6½ +1.00 (Risking 2 units).
CHICAGO +3½ over Philadelphia
One may have to do a double take in discovering that the Bears are tied for 2nd overall in the NFC, alongside such teams as these visiting Eagles, the Saints and the Packers. That’s because footballers tend to focus upon Chicago’s underachieving offence while failing to recognize its stingy defensive aptitude. The Bears have given up a league-low 146 points while relinquishing just six passing touchdowns on the year. Eagles are definitely amongst class of NFC but after two feature games, both against division rivals, we don’t see the logic in having them favored at this venue. Play: Chicago +3½ (Risking 2.2 units to win 2).
Jacksonville +7 over NY GIANTS
Even the Jaguars must be surprised to find themselves atop their division but wins build confidence and with three straight now, prefer psyche of this squad to a battered Giants team being asked to spot a slew of points. The G-men are minus their top receivers, a pair of key linemen and have now benched their best runner, Ahmad Bradshaw (fumblitis), in favor of the led-footed Brandon Jacobs. Both teams have identical 6-4 records but the Jaguars view their mark with pride and continued determination while New York views theirs as somewhat of a failure. Play: Jacksonville (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).
