Guru - Week 5 Picks

Titans Cheerleader Clair - The Guru's Cheerleader of the week!

Titans +3.5 @ the Steelers - Even without Kenny Britt, these guys are playing well. Steelers are banged up and old, I'll take the 3.5 points.

Bears +6 @ the Lions - The Lions have had two 4th quarter comebacks in consecutive weeks. Even if they win against a tough Bears squad, it wont be by more than 6.

Bucs +3 @ the 49ers - I think the 49ers will take a step back after beating the Eagles last week. Bucs should take this game out in Cali.

Kicker Robbed by Chinese Delivery Guy!

A 22 year old Chinese food delivery guy was arrested and charged with stealing a bag of golf clubs from Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant's house. Kristian Vail, 22 is the person charged with the felony burglary, was busted trying to sell the clubs on the internet. "He went into the open garage, took the clubs, delivered the food and went on his way," Braselton Police Assistant Chief Lou Solis stated. You think this guy would rob golf clubs from Ray Lewis? I think NOT! Kickers, NO RESPECT!

I hope we have all learned one big lesson from this, and that is PIZZA & WINGS!!!
Figures a kicker would order the Poo Poo platter.

Guru Week 3 Picks

Falcons +1.5 at the Bucs

I think the elite Falcons will build off of the momentum from last Sundays win against the self proclaimed dream team.  Roddy White and Mr. Ice will prove to be too much for the up and coming Bucs.

Steelers -10.5 at the Colts
The Colts defense has been terrible for years and the offense is terrible without Peyton Manning.  2 terrible units versus one great team means blow out.

Lions -3.5 at the Vikings
I have officially jumped on the Lions bandwagon.  The team is playing great on both sides of the ball and I expect them to continue the trend against the downward trending Vikings.

The Scholar's Week 2 Picks

Jacksonville +9.5 vs. the Jets

I'm a Jet fan and it's a rare occasion they are essentially 10 pt favorites… I take those opportunities to make a quick buck. The Jets were down 14 pts in the 4th quarter before Romo handed them the game.

Tampa Bay +3 vs. the Vikings
The Bucs are a solid team on the upswing and beating teams like the Vikings at home will build confidence. Back-to-back games vs. NFC North teams is no easy task but I think the Bucs rebound this week against a reeling franchise.

Skins -4 vs. the Cardinals

I don't have much color on this one besides the fact that I think the Skins are better than advertised and the Cards needed a last minute 4th & Goal stop to hold off the rookie qb/rookie coach led Panthers last week.

 

BONUS - Indy – Money Line vs. the Browns

I’ll take the money line on Indy at home against the Brownies. Tough place to pick up a road win with or without Peyton.
