Tough week one for me....Bengals are still the Bungles....here are my picks for this week.
YTD
(0-2) -2.0 units
Washington (+3) 1 unit
Washington (+155) 1 unit
Redskins running attack looked solid versus the Jets on Thursday night. Nice little combo with Candidate and Betts. Betts will end up getting the majority of carries, but Candidate should see a lot of third down action. They put up 147 yards on the ground last week, and Atlanta gave up 149 to the offensively-inept Cowboys. Ramsey looked solid for the most part, (17-23, 185), and I think Spurrier will be able to keep him from making any major mistakes. Also, the loss of Brian Finneran should allow the Skins secondary to double Price and limit the Falcons passing attack, and the Vickless-Falcon offense will struggle to move the ball against an above average defense....Final Score: WAS 24 ATL 13
San Diego (+3) 1 unit
I love home dogs, especially the live ones. Granted, San Diego played poorly last week. However, they come back home where their last 4 games in Sep. they are 4-0 ATS. The offense really struggled against KC, but the Broncos gave up a ton of yardage to the Bengals, and LT should be able to put up some decent numbers on the ground. I'm still fading Plummer, who played terrible against the Bungles and was lucky to escape with a win. Until Plummer shows me he can do anything as an NFL QB, im gonna fade him, especially with a 3pt home dog. Final Score: SD 21 DEN 17.
Good luck this week.
