Washington Redskins @ Buffalo Bills – Detroit Lions @ Denver Broncos Picks

Washington Redskins (+6) @ Buffalo Bills
The Redskins seem like a sure thing bet-against candidate here, but they aren’t as bad as people make them out to be. I’m almost completely sure of it. On the chance that I’m wrong, I’m also happy, because lets be honest, there’s no way Mike Shanhan is a fun guy to be around, and I just can’t root for him. He loses, I lose, it’s a wash!
Still, I think he’s a pretty good coach, and even with this Beck kid, I think the Redskins have a good chance of coming into Buffalo and putting up points on a defense that has been lucky (errr opportunistic) so far this season. That’s another word for lucky, and usually they become in-opportunistic as the season goes forward. Basically, it all evens out, and despite Buffalo’s offense being levels above the Redskins, I still think this one stays close.

Detroit Lions (-2.5) @ Denver Broncos
This seems like a no-brainer, take the Lions, the Broncos and magical Tim Tebow couldn’t possibly outwit the new super Lions, right? Actually, yeah, I’m thinking that’s pretty right on the nail. Flat out, sometimes you just have to go with what seems right. I know Vegas likes to trick us by putting numbers like this out there for us to bet the house on, but sometimes, every once in a while, on hour of one day, Vegas takes a hit. I’m thinking this will be the day. The line’s too good to pass up – don’t freak out and do something magic, take the Lions or don’t play this one. Tebow vs Suh is not advantage Tebow.
