Week 9 - Flu-Shot Edition

By Ace Cummins

The whole point of a flu shot is to prevent the effects of the virus, right? Oh well, I guess I should have seen it coming. Kind of like how I should have kept riding the Patriots’ train last week against the Redskins. Are the Pats really that good? Are they really candidates for a 16-0 season? More importantly, will they continue to keep dominating the spread?

Week 9 picks…

Redskins (-4) @ Jets
Look for the Skins to rebound after a very bad loss to the Pats last week. The Jets are in a downward spiral and the perfect team to play after a bad week.

Packers @ Chiefs (-2)
The Chiefs will not make the same mistakes the Broncos did last week and allow Favre time in the pocket. The Chiefs under-rated defense will make it tough for the Pack to get into any rhythm.

Cowboys (-3) @ Eagles
The Eagles are past desperation. They cannot handle the class of the NFC. What should be a great match-up is anything but.

Seahawks @ Browns (-1.5)
Just like the Cowboys, the Browns have been very, very good to Ace. This average AFC team is much better than what is considered one of the better NFC teams. But the Seahawks are terrible. The NFC is bad.

*****Five-Star Pick of the Week*****Pats (-5.5) @ Colts
Ace will not make the mistake of not picking the Pats again. Even on the road against the undefeated defending champs. Every time the Pats’ spread is under a touchdown they are a must bet. And this week… my five-star pick. Nice guys finish last.
