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 (6-0): Bills at NE
If you didn’t use the Bills as I recommended a week ago, now is the time to pull the trigger. The Patriots might be the worst team in football. Even if they’re not, they are not in the same league as Buffalo and I can’t see a scenario in which New England’s offense can keep pace here.
Out on a Limb (3-3): Seahawks vs. ARI
The Cardinals’ offense looked a bit lackluster without James Conner and having to travel to Seattle to face the Seahawks’ and the 12th man seems like a tall task for a one-dimensional offense with a backup quarterback. I’m riding with Seattle here.
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:
$100 Saints -1 (Caesars -110)
Season total: +$410 (5-1 on season)
Trevor Lawrence is trending towards playing, but if he is ruled out then the under gets more appealing. However, as it sits now even if Lawrence powers through things, I am leaning with the home team Saints here. Their defense is the difference.
Same Game Parlay Prop Bet (DraftKings)
$20 (+198 DraftKings)
Season total: (-$100)
- Alvin Kamara 25+ RuYd
- Travis Etienne Jr 60+ RuYd
- Calvin Ridley 40+ ReYd
- Chris Olave 50+ ReYd
