The most exciting game was my only loss, the furious second half comeback for a 1 point win by the Lions in London. Covers by road favorites the Dolphins and Texans were sort of like watching paint dry.
Betting against the two teams that won for me last week. Also going with a pair of dogs after focusing almost exclusively on favorites for weeks. Got to be flexible.
home team in bold
Best Bet
Philadelphia Eagles (-2.0) over Houston Texans
Big plays from Carson Palmer to Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown torpedoed the Eagles in Arizona. I don't see Ryan Fitzpatrick making those plays.
Others
San Diego Chargers (+2.0) over Miami Dolphins
I was a little surprised to get points with the Chargers. I know they are heading east for a 1 pm matchup, but they did get extra rest after playing on Thursday night last week.
Arizona Cardinals (+3.5) over Dallas Cowboys
This seems like a lot of points to get with a one loss team in week 9, even on the road. In Arians we (or at least I) trust.
Last Week
Miami Dolphins (-4.5) over Jacksonville Jaguars WIN
Houston Texans (-1.0) over Tennessee Titans WIN
Detriot Lions (-4.0) over Atlanta Falcons (in London) LOSS
Best Bets: 5-3 Overall: 13-10-1
