Donkey Punches..Weekly Picks

S/R Staff class="post-date-wrap left relative post-date-mob">

September 3, 2013

Each week I plan on doing a weekly Picks Post. I will select each AFCE game, a best bet, and an upset special. Without further ado….

Jets hosting Tampa, Tampa is a 3 1/2 point Fave. Tampa is the Pick.

With Sanchez as the 247th ranked QB, and Geno is 250th. (according to ESPN rankings)

New England travels to Buffalo, NE is favored by 10. The Pick is NE

Buffalo is 2 – 22 vs. NE in the last 24. High spread, but I’m taking it.

Miami travels to Cleveland, The game is a Pickum. I’m taking the Cleveland.

This looks to be the closest contest for an AFCE team this week. I’m only taking Cleveland because they are home in a toss up contest.

Best Bet

Kansas City giving up only 4 while visiting the lowly Jags

Upset Special

Baltimore over Denver.

The Super Bowl Champs are 10 point dogs to media sweetheart Denver. I know The Ravens lost a lot, but 10 points!
