The 'Feel' Says Take Oaktown, San Fran & D.C.
This is one of those "feel" games which is different than going with your "gut". A "feel" game is a step below a "gut" in certainty and far less worrisome than going against your "gut". Washington (+7) has burned me a few times this year with their inconsitency. A home game with the tide turning for the 'Skins was should cancelled out anything Philadelphia has going for it.
The 49ers (+6) are even more maddening than the Redskins, but there's a method to theirs. The Niners with six points at home versus Detroit would have been a no-brainer for a young team that play comfortably at the former Candestick Park, but giving those points at Detroit is worrisome. Even after a big win last week for the Lions, this sort of team that gives away chances often seems ripe for San Fran to pick up an unlikely road win.
Like the Niners, the Raiders (+9 1/2), that is, the Raiders' defense plays with far more purpose at the Coliseum than they do in enemy territory. This will be a low scoring game not because Denver and Oakland have two of the best defenses in the NFL, but solely because Andrew Walter can't garner anything close to a 100 yards of offense. This fact and the other that Art Shell handles Denver well, although not earlier in the season, but a second look should help the Raiders.
The Record: 23-11-2.
Last Week: 4-0.
The Wager: $20 Pick 5
The Winnings: $480.00
