SURVIVOR
Each week I will pick two games, my “Play it Safe” selection as well as my “Out on a Limb” pick:
Play It Safe (14-2): Giants vs. IND
The Colts don’t have a quarterback. They’re missing their only RB that scares me and the Giants are still fighting for their playoff lives. Go G-Men and sleep like a baby.
Out on a Limb (8-8): Lions vs. CHI
Detroit is a team many poolsters likely still available and it’s a solid option this late in the season playing at home vs. a Bears’ D that has very little playmakers left.
THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIALS
Look for my “Against the Spread” plays in a separate article that will run each Saturday this season. Here I will look at my Thursday night betting recommendation.
The Pick:
No Play
Season total: (10-6 on season; +$260 season total)
I hate to finish the season without making a pick here, but honestly this game is crap. With the Titans expected to sit so many players and even Dallas likely to rest some dinged up guys too it just isn’t something I want to invest in so my advice to you is to do the same.
