I'm going to start getting my picks out earlier in the week before I have the chance to confuse myself with too much information. Here are some of the first thoughts that went through my head after checking next Sunday's games and lines.
Cleveland -3 at St Louis (43.5) the Rams have been great home dogs vs AFC teams for the last 5 years or so. I wouldn't get on the Rams but it won't surprise me to see the Rams show a lot more life on offense at home vs a mediocre Browns defense. The Rams have looked bad but don't forget to consider they have just played at Seattle,at Baltimore,Arizona,at Dallas,at Tampa Bay. A tough stretch of road games vs four good defenses for a team with so many injuries on their O-line. The one bright spot in this stretch was a 31 point output at home vs the Cardinals. I see a similar type of game happening in St Louis this Sunday.
over 43.5
Minnesota -1 vs Philadelphia The mismatch of this matchup that stands out to me is the Eagles O-line vs the Vikings D-line. The Eagles aren't going to light up the scoreboard at Minnesota. The Vikings will get their running game going in the second half when the Eagles start to wear down, possibly earlier vs an Eagles Def playing out of their element. (not at home or on the road vs the NFC east).
Minnesota +1
Chicago -5 vs Detroit It doesn't seem like a bad idea to go against the Lions until they prove they can play on the road . The Bears offense is good for 24 points at the minimum. Kitna will be running for his life for most of the game.
Chicago -5
