Large Spreads Look Compelling In Week Six
When will the Lions' Rod Marinelli get his first win of the season? Detroit is Tigertown right now, so they won't notice another loss. Buffalo (-1) comes to town hobbled themselves, but their defense should be able to take advantage of a decimated Detroit O-line. WR Roy Williams is also missing so how will the Lions run the ball or have enough time for Jon Kitna?
Cincinnati (-5 1/2) is coming off a bye week and Tampa Bay is coming off its rookie QB's first start. The Bengals are not going to run roughshod over the Bucs on the offensive side. If they can stop Cadillac Williams return to Tampa covering the spread is merely a Chad Johnson romp to the end zone.
The Texans (+13) have begun to show some life, albeit, without adding to the win column, but their first-year coach might be changing the tide. In Dallas, the T.O. affair is helping the Marketing Department, but not necessarily the football operation. Dallas' Drew Bledsoe has been very shaky and T.O. has been non-existent. This game will have to be a low-scoring affair for the Texans to succeed. If they can limit Julius Jones, it will happen.
The Chargers (-10 1/2) must have watch the 49ers game film against the Raiders and said "here's three easy wins against these two teams." The Niners have shown themselves to be a Jekyl and Hyde kind of team, yet predicatable. They'll play an exciting sort of game against the lamest (Raiders)in the NFL and completely self-destruct against better teams (Chiefs 41-0 loss). San Diego's defensive production might be enough to cover the large spread.
The Record: 12-5-1.
Last Week: 2-2.
The Wager: $20 Pick 4
The Winnings: $280.00
