The home of die hard Pittsburgh Steelers fans. It's not just a team, it's a way of life!

Best Bet (plus two)

October 15, 2014 by Steel Haven



Saved by Aqib Talib. Perhaps I am not giving Geno Smith enough credit. A pick 6 with seconds remaining allowed the Broncos to cover. My other favorites also won, but not by enough. Handicappers know what they are doing. Bastards.

Favorites rule the day again this week, a pair on the road. I just can't help myself.

Best Bet

New England Patriots (-9.5) over New York Jets

Second straight best bet pick against the Jets. Hard to go wrong expecting Geno Smith to do something stupid.

Others

Arizona Cardinals (-3.5) over Oakland Raiders

All Bruce Arians does is win. Tony Sparano, not so much.

Seattle Seahawks (-6.5) over St. Louis Rams

Torn here. Thought hard about the Browns, but fear a letdown in Jacksonville. Thought seriously about the Chargers, Andy Reid has just been so good after byes. So I'll settle on the relatively disappointing Seahawks where they are generally at their worst, on the road. Watching Austin Davis after the first quarter last Monday night convinced me.

Last Week

Denver Broncos (-8.0) over New York Jets WIN

San Diego Chargers (-7.0) over Oakland Raiders LOSS

Green Bay Packers (-3.5) over Miami Dolphins LOSS

Best Bets: 4-2  Overall: 10-7-1
