SMART BET NFL WEEK 4

Coming off a strong college Saturday, hitting 2 of 3 top plays, including my play of the year on UTEP, I handicapped the NFL card and found a couple strong plays that I feel will help improve that bankroll.

Seattle vs St. Louis (+2) for 1 unit.  WINNER

Both teams come into Sunday looking to capitalize on last week’s impressive wins, Seattle over San Diego and St. Louis over the Redskins.  I see value here with St. Louis as they continue to play better each week.  Bradford has been way better than I ever imagined and should take advantage of a weak and injured pass defense in Seattle.  They are giving up over 300yds passing per and they come into Week 4 with injuries to their starting CB and LB.  Seattle’s D was dominated by San Diego last week, but was bailed out by great special teams play.  Both teams should put some points on the board, but I will give the edge to the hot QB and slightly better defense with St. Louis.

Arizona vs San Diego (-9) for 1 unit. WINNER

SD continues to get off to a slow start for like the 3rd or 4th straight year, but just when people begin to count them out they come away with an impressive performance to remind everyone that the West is theirs! Arizona comes into SD after a terrible performance vs the lowly Raiders last, but they somehow managed to pull out the win.  SD also comes in off a terrible special teams effort giving up 2 kick returns.  SD will look to go to the air more often this week and establish the pass to open up their solid run attack. Arizona  just has not been able to get it together and until they have shown strong weaknesses both in their rush defense and pass defense giving up 146 and over 230 respectively.  Look for SD to come out more focesed and ready to come away with a Big Win. Lay the points with SD.
