WEEK 8 PICKS
WASHINGTON REDSKINS @ NY GIANTS Su Oct 30 - 1:00 pm EST/17:00
GMT Last week we cashed in with Denver (+1.5) in their NY win,
but don't feel as if the Redskins will offer as much of a
challenge this week, so we'll be playing the Giants giving up a
short number (-2.0). The importance of home advantage should not
be underestimated, and the G-men are 4-0 (3-1 ATS) in front of
their home fans this season. They also took the same fixture
last season, easily covering the number, and that trend will
continue this week. Since getting off to a 3-0 start, Washington
has now lost two out of three, and are allowing 22-points per
game in the process.
Pick: NY Giants (-2.0) @ 10/11
ARIZONA CARDINALS @ DALLAS COWBOYS Su Oct 30 - 1:00 pm
EST/17:00 GMT. We've already seen plenty of interest in the
Cowboys this week at an opening line of 7.5 (now 9.5). That line
may be slightly inflated now, but we can still 'get in the game'
by playing the "under".
Dallas is allowing just 12.3 points at home, and has held their
last three opponents - Eagles, Giants and Seahawks - to a
combined 36 points. Those teams' offences rank first, fifth and
12th respectively, and the Cardinals offence isn't nearly as
good. Their defense, however, can be respectable, and they look
capable of keeping the scoring low this week, especially as the
Dallas offence has some key injuries.
Pick: Arizona @ Dallas Under 40.0 points @ 10/11 A $50 parlay on
the above two games pays out $191.34 with the Parlay Bonus! Each

This week's suggested parlay is on the following teams:
Cincinnati (-9.0) are strongly fancied to bounce back against a
poor Packers side. San Diego (-6.0) has a great chance to atone
for some unlucky defeats. Houston (-2.0) will see this as their
best chance to win a game all season. Tennessee (+1.5) - need
this game badly and will get it in a big way.
All teams are currently priced at 10/11, and a $50 parlay pays
out $730.59 - which includes bonus of 10% - bet it or play it
live.
Free picks NFL more! Additional free NFL picks bonus picks plus
free NCAA picks bonuspicks:
Washington at New York Giants (Sunday, 1.00 EST) - FOX. Giants
Stadium will be the venue Sunday as Washington travels to take
on New York. The Giants are unbeaten at home this year, and fans
will be hoping Eli Manning can continue inspiring his offense.
Manning led the Giants over Denver Sunday, recovering from a
23-10 deficit to come out on top 24-23. Washington had way too
much firepower for San Francisco last week, and the 52-17
scoreline will have Mark Brunell and his men confident of ending
the Giants unbeaten home streak. Pick: Manning to deliver home
victory for the Giants.
Kansas City at San Diego (Sunday, 4.05 EST) - CBS Although San
Diego stands 2 games behind Denver in the AFC West, its 3-4
record is hardly a reflection of how the Chargers have played.
All four losses have been in extremely close games - Dallas by
4, Denver 3, Pittsburgh 2 and Philadelphia 3. Last week's loss
to the Eagles will be one to forget for the Chargers, as they
led going into the final 3 minutes of the game. The Chiefs are
one game ahead of its division rival, and travel to Qualcomm
Stadium aiming to extend a 2 game streak. Victories over
Washington and Miami have Kansas in second place in the AFC
West. Pick: San Diego to get back to winning ways.
Buffalo at New England (Sunday, 8.30 EST) - ESPN Although the
Patriots have already lost as many games this year as in their
last two victorious seasons, they still hold onto top spot in
the AFC East. But Buffalo will overhaul them if they leave
Gillette Stadium with a victory Sunday night. New England is
coming off a rest week, and linebacker Tedy Bruschi may be back
from an eight month absence to lift the injury plagued Patriots.
Buffalo will want to recover from a poor showing last Sunday
when the Bills lost 38-17 to Oakland. Averaging just 16 points
per game, the Bills need an offensive improvement to have any
chance against Tom Brady and his experienced Patriots. Pick: New
England, currently -9, to cover.
Baltimore at Pittsburgh (Monday, 9.00 EST) - ABC The Steelers
will look to QB Ben Roethlisberger to take them past Baltimore
in Monday night's game. The Steelers post a 4-2 season record,
and sit in second spot in the AFC North, one behind Cincinnati.
But the Steelers have momentum coming off a 27-13 victory over
the Bengals. The Ravens come to Pittsburgh missing key defensive
players Ed Reed and Ray Lewis, and Anthony Wright at QB needs a
big game to inspire a team that is averaging just over 11 points
per game. Pick: Baltimore is currently getting 10 points, and
will cover.
College Football (NCAAF) free picks!
Oklahoma at Nebraska (Saturday, 12.00 EST) - ABC Nebraska will
want to rebound from last weekend's 41-24 loss at Missouri. The
Cornhuskers started the season off with a 4-0 record, but having
lost two of the last three, Nebraska sits in third spot in the
Big 12 North, one game behind Missouri and Colorado. The Sooners
have won their last two - Kansas 19-3 and Baylor 37-30, to
remain one game away from Texas in the Big 12 South. Oklahoma
will want QB Rhett Bomar to show more consistency after a few
under par performances.
Pick: Home advantage to swing things in Nebraska's favor.
Georgia at Florida (Saturday, 3.30 EST) - CBS It's first against
second in the SEC East as the Bulldogs, without injured QB DJ
Shockley, aim to clinch a spot in the SEC championship game when
they travel to Florida to play their conference rivals.
Currently at 7-0, and holding a two game lead over the Gators
(5-2), the Bulldogs offense will be led by Joe Tereshinski, who
will replace Shockley. After winnings its first four, the Gators
have lost 2 of its last three, including a close 21-17 defeat at
LSU. Coming off a bye week, Florida will be well rested and will
be all out to keep its unbeaten home record intact and stay in
touch with the unbeaten Bulldogs.
Pick: Georgia to shade a close game.
Michigan at Northwestern (Saturday, 7pm EST) - ESPN The
Wildcats feel they have a few surprises in store this year for
Michigan. QB star Brett Basanez is leading the 'Cats to a 37
point average offense this year, with only a comeback loss
against Penn State blotting this year's winning stats.
Northwestern are not used to playing at this altitude and the
Wolverines will be looking to put them back down where they came
from. Despite Basanez's 42 rushing yards per game keeping the
opposing defense honest, coach Randy Walker says "We'll throw it
every down". Well they say fortune favors the brave, but that's
mighty big talk against a program the caliber of Michigan. Of
course, this year the Big Ten has already delivered quite a few
surprises.
Pick: at only -3 it's hard to bet against the Wolverines.
South Carolina at Tennessee (Saturday, 7.45 EST) - ESPN. The
Tennessee Volunteers will aim to put the loss of Gerald Riggs
behind them, as they take on South Carolina at Neyland Stadium.
Riggs will miss the rest of the season after suffering leg and
ankle injuries in last weekend's game against Alabama. Tennessee
has lost two consecutive games to the Crimson Tide and Georgia
where it has been dogged by offensive inconsistencies. South
Carolina has rebounded well from a 48-7 mauling inflicted by
Auburn to take its last two games. With an overall 4-3 record
and at 2-3 in the SEC East, the Gamecocks sit above Tennessee in
the standings and will look to snap a 12 game losing sequence
against the Volunteers.
Pick: South Carolina is currently at +13.5. The Gamecocks to
cover.
