Betting against Bruce Arians proved to be a mistake. Betting on Peyton Manning on the road against the pressure of a tough front 7 proved to be a bigger mistake.
Huge favorites are all the rage even after I was burned by the Broncos last week.
home team in bold
Best Bet
San Francisco 49ers (-9.0) over Washington Redskins
Things getting ugly with RGIII. Niners return home on a mini-roll after a pair of road wins.
Others
Green Bay Packers (-9.5) over Minnesota Vikings
Aaron Rodgers is on fire. Things have been going so well that Matt Flynn has appeared in five of the last six games. Can't envision the Vikings hanging close in this matchup even at home.
New England Patriots (-7.0) over Detriot Lions
The Patriots are firing on all cylinders. I like that the hook has not been included against the Pats in this line. Probably would have taken them anyway.
Last Week
Denver Broncos (-9.5) over St. Louis Rams LOSS
San Francisco 49ers (-4.0) over New York Giants WIN
Detriot Lions (+2.0) over Arizona Cardinals LOSS
Best Bets: 7-4 Overall: 19-13-1
