Money Where Your Mouth Is Week 6

This a weekly column that puts our expertise to the test, as we show a couple of the bets that we are placing on specific games, or prop bets offered by the many sports books and casinos. Of course we are a fantasy football advisory,  but we also take pride in our pick’em pool strategies. Our goal is to help you win pools & money, but if you can’t afford to place bets…don’t!

Tennessee at New England-9.5

Both starting cornerbacks are out for the Titans this week, so that begs the question: who’s going to cover Randy Moss? The Patriots are off an uncharacteristic loss to the Broncos where they blew a 10 point lead in the second half. The Titans are 0-5 and are on a bye week the second Sunday’s game is over. The team is being rumored to death about trades, position changes, and all the other media nonsense. It’s safe to say the Titans are finished this season. Even if they could string together a winning streak, the Titans would have to win 10 of the next of 11 games to make the playoffs. Even that might not be good enough, as the Patriots will tell you that 11-5 doesn’t always make the playoffs (last season).

The game plan for the Titans will be to run the ball and keep Brady & company on the sidelines, which is a bad idea. Although, last years defensive rookie of the year Jared Mayo is healthy and starting Sunday. The Patriots should pick apart the Titans while at home, forcing the winless squad to abandon the run game.  Take the Pats to cover.

Cleveland at Pittsburgh-14.5

This could get ugly…for the Browns that is. Cleveland has never been a good road team, and heading to Pittsburgh with the return of Troy Polamalu will make this like a trip to the dentist. The Browns are 14.5 point underdogs which is amazing considering they haven’t been able to score more than 6 points on the road yet this season. Easy money, take the Steelers.

Last Week 3-0

Overall: 5-2
