AFC South at home did me proud. NFC South on the road, not so much. I probably need to stop ignoring the inability of dome teams like the Falcons and Saints to win on the road.
Only the Dolphins and Raiders on bye this week. I was hoping things might be easier. They were not and despite my uncharacteristically decent record there is no clarity, only increased confusion.
home team in bold
Best Bet
San Francisco 49ers (-6.0) over Kansas City Chiefs
Everything went right for the Chiefs last week at home on Monday night. A trip west on a short work week is going to be tough.
Others
San Diego Chargers (-6.5) over New York Jets
The Chargers continue to win despite being decimated by injuries and I expect that to continue at home. The Jets stubbornly sticking with Geno Smith is a bonus.
Houston Texans (+5.5) over Dallas Cowboys
The line in this game went up a point and a half in less than 24 hours as money pours in on the Cowboys. Call me a contrarian. Say I'm on the Bill O'Brien bandwagon. Things have been going much too well for Jason Garrett and Tony Romo.
Last Week
Indianapolis Colts (-7.5) over Tennessee Titans WIN
Atlanta Falcons (-3.0) over Minnesota Vikings LOSS
Houston Texans (-3.0) over Buffalo Bills WIN
Best Bets: 3-1 Overall: 7-4-1
