What a horror show last week! My lock of a pick, NYG, looked like they forgot to take the Bengals seriously until about halfway through the fourth quarter. By then, Carson and TJ had a rhythm already. Thankfully they came through when it counted. By the way, go back and look at my advice for week 3. I told you I feared the Bucs and they pulled off a stunner! I told you to stay far away from the NE-MIA game and I advised severe caution on the Bills game. I hate to pat myself on the back but I told you so!
This week is even worse. If you have survived so far, it just seems to get harder. A quick scan of the games reveals that almost every game is a divisional game or former divisional game this week. I will stay away from these games for sure…PIT-BAL, SD-OAK, DEN-KC, ATL-CAR, GB-TB, HOU-JAC and SF-NO. As bad as OAK and KC are on the road, they still can turn it around at home. The games that I considered are BUF-STL, PHI-CHI, MIN-TEN and DAL-WAS.
As much as I like the road teams to win, I just can’t break that rule so BUF and PHI are out. I think TEN is the real deal but something tells me they haven’t played a D like Min has to offer yet; Danger, Danger. So I am looking at breaking a rule to pick DAL. But wait, I forgot about my tiebreaker rule. If all games look too close to call, go with the best team playing at home regardless of who they are playing. Therefore, I am picking Dallas to beat the Redskins.
