Why These Picks?
NY Jets v JAX Jaguars: Make no mistake – the Jets are terrible (beyond terrible, in fact). That said, 5 of their last 6 outings have managed to fall North of 40.5 points. On the other side, Jacksonville has had little to no issue moving the ball, putting at least 27 points on the board in each of their last 6 straight games, and at least 35 in their last 2 games at home. My money’s on the Over to cash here, friends.
ARI Cardinals v HOU Texans: The Texans defense has more than proven itself over the last few weeks. Houston has found plenty of success at home and on the road over their last 5 games, while the Cardinals have been getting absolutely decimated for that same 5 week stint. With a mere 1 win over their last 11 games, I don’t think Arizona’s offense will have any answer for the Texans’ all-encompassing defense. I’m on Houston to cover.
IND Colts v SEA Seahawks: While the Seahawks defense is formidable, their offense is also completely capable of bagging most of these points by themselves. Toss in the fact that the Colts are starting Phillip Rivers today? This encounter could very well get ugly quick, and result in one side racking up a quick total. While I do see a case to be made for a low scoring affair (Indianapolis’ defense is no slouch…) I think the alternative is far more likely. Take the Over to hit.
CHI Bulls v NO Pelicans: This total is as high as it is for good reason, friends. I know a big total tends to scare people away, but the last encounter between these two reached a staggering 273 points. With the Bulls playing at a notoriously break-neck pace and the Pelicans having bagged at least 132 points in their last 2 outings, I'm on the Over to cash in spades.
