Forecast Friday

Hey, remember a couple weeks ago when I wrote that Edwards should be the starter because Fitzpatrick kinda’ blows, and he’s not the long-term answer anyway?

Well, forget all that.  I mean, he still blows.  And he isn’t the long-term answer.  But they won two straight so who’s arguing?  If the Bills lose to Houston they can feel free to switch back to Edwards – who knows, maybe he got the sense knocked back into him that he lost against the Cardinals last year.  If they win, well, the job’s all his.

As for gambling, what can I say?  If you have been following my advice thus far you have made yourself into a wealthy individual.  This week, however, does not have a magical feel to it.  I will continue on, but with a tentative heart, as Vegas has finally started to figure out just how bad some NFL teams really are.

Remember, we’re picking a three-team teaser here, which allows the spread to move ten points in any direction on all three games.

Dallas* (-9.5) over San Fran.  Sure, Dallas is up and down this year.  But getting half a point at home is a solid bet.

San Diego* (-16.5) over Oakland.  Yep, SD and LT ain’t what they used to be.  They should still be able to beat a team of such total suckitude as the Raiders by a touchdown.

Indianapolis* (-12.5) over San Fran.  Can Indy beat ‘Frisco by a field goal?  I sure hope so.

If you think it could be a week for underdogs (caution: this has not happened all year) I like Cleveland getting 23 with the tease in Chicago and Carolina getting 20 in Arizona.
