Should have stuck with the Chiefs for a third straight week as my best bet. The Texans gave up a trio of touchdown passes of 40 or more yards in Buffalo after not giving up a play longer than 29 yards during their four game winning streak. The Giants led by 10 entering the second half and fourth quarter. They've lost four games in which they led with a minute or less remaining.
Liked all big favorites this week. Had penciled in the Chiefs again as a plus two until the line went up to -10 early Wednesday morning against the Chargers.
home team in bold
Best Bet
Seattle Seahawks (-9) over Baltimore Ravens
Seahawks starting to roll, Ravens decimated by injury. Matt Schaub a pick 6 waiting to happen. Jimmy Claussen the backup if beat up Schaub is forced to miss any time.
Others
Carolina Panthers (-7.5) over Atlanta Falcons
Divisional foes heading in decidedly different directions.
Denver Broncos (-7.5) over Oakland Raiders
My replacement for the Chiefs. The Broncos have been better with Brock Osweiler replacing Peyton Manning, Raiders seem to have hit a wall. Don't usually consider the Thursday night matchups, but also liked the Cardinals at home on a short work week -7.5 over the Vikings.
Last Week
Houston Texans (+3) over Buffalo Bills LOSS
Kansas City Chiefs (-3) over Oakland Raiders WIN
New York Giants (+2) over New York Jets LOSS
Best Bets: 7-6, Overall: 18-19-2
