Tonight’s Colts/Chargers Pick

NFL WEEK 12 BETTING REACTION:

Today was another crazy day in the NFL. The Titans lost their first game of the season. I kept riding the Titans as they’ve won myself a lot of money in the last three weeks. I figured that they wouldn’t lose their first at home, but you know the Jets aren’t going to lay down. The Jets stopped the run and the Titans offense couldn’t do anything. That’s all there was to that one, along with a huge defensive let down by one of the NFL’s best defensive units.

My next play, Giants -3, is in good shape. The Giants built up a 24-12 lead, but the Cardinals are threatening in the end of the 3rd. Cardinals end up with a TD, 24-19.

The Cowboys got a big win to add 2 units. The Dolphins/Pats was the most entertaining game of the day. They battled back and forth for three quarters and the Pats ran away with in in the 4th. It was 31-28 at one point. The Dolphins defense has been solid all season long, so I thought I would get a good effort from them. If I knew the Dolphins were going to score 28 in this one, I would say that I’m pretty confident that they’ll win. Randy Moss went off: 3 TDs, 125 yards.

The Redskins are battling in Seattle. They had a 17-10 lead, but the Seahawks bounced right back to tie it.

We might have also seen Donovan McNabb’s last days as an Eagle. He was benched after the first half.

TONIGHT’S PICK:

I already have a 1-unit parlay of Colts and Packers, which pays 4 to 1.

Brandon likes the over 49. I can see this one scoring a lot of points. You need 7 TDs and 1 FG. I can see the final score something like 31-24. Bob Sanders is out, which is a huge liability for the Colts defense. San Diego has been disappointing lately though as they’re coming in with a 4-6 record, well below expectations coming into the season. It would be 4 straight losses for the Chargers if the Chiefs could have converted on the final play of the game 2 weeks ago. The Colts are averaging over 28 points in their last 2, so it looks like that they have that offense finally clicking and the Colts are running on 3 straight wins.

I like the Colts +3, which I’ll put 2 units on. Although I think the over will hit, it’s still too high for me to take it.  I don’t like the fact that Sanders is out, but the Chargers have been a huge disappointment the last 4 weeks, while the Colts have been gaining momentum.
