NFL Week 3: Browns vs Vikings Picks and Predictions: Lines and Tigers and Bears Oh My

MaChez Says: Picks and Predictable Bets for College Football and the NFL

Well the odds gods thought it would be funny to prove me wrong yet again, even if it was by getting all my picks correct.  After going 0-5 in Week 1 and explaining how unlikely that outcome and the outcome of 5-0 were, of course I went 5-0 last week to bring myself up to an even 500.  I'm not expecting to continue these one-sided affairs but won't complain if the 5-0's keep coming.

We have yet another great weekend of football ahead of us so push those to-do lists back another few days and let's get to betting.  Here they are, my 'MaChez Says' picks of the weekend:

1. Teaser (NFL sides 6 points) : Minnesota (-1.5) vs. Cleveland; Chicago (+3.5) vs. Pittsburgh     (-110 @ 5Dimes)

Both of these spreads are too low as it is, throwing six points to the two favorites isn't fair.

2. SMU @ Texas A&M - UNDER 78.5    (-110 @ 5Dimes)


Texas A&M is coming off a tough loss to #1 ranked Alabama where both teams essentially left their defense off the field and scored a total of 91 points.  That high score is driving the total this week up higher than it should be so take the Under.  A&M was embarrassed defensively and will make a statement this week at home against the spread offense they're used to seeing. 

3. Packers @ Bengals - OVER 49   (-110 @ 5Dimes)

This game has the makings of a shootout - on one side you have Aaron Rodgers, on the other you have a a loaded offense going against a disappointing Green Bay secondary.

4. Wisconsin (-23.5) vs. Purdue    (-110 @ 5Dimes)

After getting screwed last week by the refs in a 32-30 loss to ASU, expect Wisconsin to go big at home where they have yet to give up a point this season and are winning by an average of 45.6 points. I may or may not have gone to Wisconsin, too.


5. Tennessee (+16) @ Florida    (-110 @ 5Dimes)

Florida has only averaged 20 points per game and unless you see Tennessee getting only a field goal in a rivalry game, take the points.


Season Record to Date: 5 - 5
