TPS NFL Weekly Locks: Week 6

JamieD — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 22:00:01 +0000

Total Pro Sports – Another weekend. Another .500 record as our picks were once again 2-2. The Vikings easily took care of the Rams and covered the large spread in the process, while the Cleveland and Buffalo engaged in an offensively-challenged game, which was great news for those who took the underdog Browns, like us. As for the Steelers and Jets, late game collapses on defense would end up being costly for both favorites (although the Steelers still won the game) as neither was able to hold on for the cover. With that being said, we currently stand at 9-11 on the year and continue to look for the big week that will dig us out from below the .500 mark.

Here is how we see things shaping up in four games for week six of the NFL season.

Game: Baltimore Ravens @ Minnesota Vikings

Pick: Under 44 1/2

Reason: When the Ravens visit Vikings in the Metrodome on Sunday, it will be a battle between two of the NFL’s top defenses. While the numbers may not indicate such, make no mistake about it, both teams can create headaches for opposing offenses. When you take into consideration the fact that both teams bolster powerful running games and have allowed an average of under 20 points per game, the clock will be moving in this one and the total should remain under what we believe to be a rather high 44 1/2

Game: Philadelphia Eagles @ Oakland Raiders

Pick: Philadelphia Eagles -14

Reason: It may seem like a rather high spread for a road favorite, but when you consider the fact that the opposition is the Oakland Raiders, this spread could be thought of as being to low. The Eagles got starting quarterback Donovan McNabb back last weekend and used their passing game to torch the Bucs. Now they will face a Raiders team that is equally bad defensively and much worse offensively. Expect the Eagles to put points on the board with both their offense and their defense, while the Raiders will be lucky to end up with anything that is not a goose egg. The Eagles will win big in this one.

Game: Buffalo Bills @ New York Jets

Pick: New York Jets -9 1/2

Reason: Anyone who witnessed the the sorry excuse for a football game this past Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium will know why we are making this pick. Anyone who didn’t only needs to look at the 6-3 score in favor of the Cleveland Browns over the Bills and that is reason enough to like the Jets. With the Bills only able to put up 3 points against a poor Browns defense, it is hard to believe they will be able to tally much more, if any, against a stout Jets defense. Add to this the fact that Rex Ryan and his team will be eager to bounce back after a Monday night loss to the Dolphins, and we have a strong possibility for a blowout in favour of the Jets.

Game: Denver Broncos @ San Diego Chargers

Pick: Denver Broncos +3 1/2

Reason: Both teams in this Monday match up find themselves in opposite situations as most would have expected in the beginning of the season. The Denver Broncos are 5-0 while the Chargers stand at a mediocre 2-2. The Broncos bolster the leagues top scoring defense, allowing only 8.6 points against per game, while the Chargers rank near the bottom, allowing a surrendering a disappointing 25.5 points against per game. While we don’t believe this game will turn out to be a blowout, as the numbers may indicate, but expect this divisional match up to be a close one, and if that is the case, the Broncos hold the edge judging by their history in lose games thus far this season.

Total Pro Sports – Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.

The Game: Orlando Magic @ Cleveland Cavaliers (NBA)

The Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers

The Reason: I don’t think the Cavaliers can be stopped this year. They have been the best team in the league at home, so there is no chance that they lose game 1.

The Game: Toronto Blue Jays @ Boston Red Sox (MLB)

The Pick: Toronto Blue Jays

The Reason: Brett Cecil will be 3-0 after this game, if everything goes his way. I’ll take the Jays on the road here.

Overall Record: (117-77-3) – Winning Percentage (0.61)

Total Pro Sports – Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.

The Game: Chicago Blackhawks @ Detroit Red Wings (NHL)

The Pick: Detroit Red Wings

The Reason: The Red Wings looked dominant in game 1 and I think that trend will continue in this one. The Hawks have had a great season, but I don’t think they can get past the Wings.

The Game: Denver Nuggets @ Los Angeles Lakers (NBA)

The Pick: Denver Nuggets

The Reason: The Nuggets have rolled through the post-season so far and I think they have what it takes to get past the Lakers. I like the Nuggets in a game 1 upset.

Overall Record: (116-76-3) – Winning Percentage (0.61)

Total Pro Sports – Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.

The Game: Chicago White Sox @ Toronto Blue Jays (MLB)

The Pick: Toronto Blue Jays

The Reason: The Jays have been great at home this year and I expect that will continue against the Sox. Brett Cicil is pitching for the Jays and will look to improve to 2-0 on the season.

The Game: New York Mets @ San Francisco Giants (MLB)

The Pick: San Francisco Giants

The Reason: The main reason I’m picking the Giants here is because reigning Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum will be on the mound. I think the Giants will win this one by a couple runs.

Overall Record: (112-76-3) – Winning Percentage (0.59)

Total Pro Sports – Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.

The Game: Anaheim Ducks @ Detroit Red Wings (NHL)

The Pick: Detroit Red Wings

The Reason: I think the Wings will repeat as Stanley Cup Champions this year, which is why I like them in this game. Anaheim had a great run as an 8th seed, but their time is up.

The Game: Carolina Hurricanes @ Boston Bruins (NHL)

The Pick: Carolina Hurricanes

The Reason: Carolina could have closed this series out at home, but they decided to make things more dramatic for their fans. I see the Canes winning this one in a low-scoring affair.

Overall Record: (110-76-3) – Winning Percentage (0.58)

Total Pro Sports – Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.

The Game: Pittsburgh Penguins @ Washington Capitals (NHL)

The Pick: Washington Capitals

The Reason: The best series of the second round will be coming to an end on Wednesday night. Unfortunately for Pens fans their season will be ending as well.

The Game: Dallas Mavericks @ Denver Nuggets (NBA)

The Pick: Denver Nuggets

The Reason: The Dallas Mavericks are the NBA’s version of the San Jose Sharks, they play great in the regular season and always choke in the playoffs. Take the Nuggets in this one.

Overall Record: (109-75-3) – Winning Percentage (0.58)

Total Pro Sports – Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.

The Game: Boston Bruins @ Carolina Hurricanes (NHL)

The Pick: Carolina Hurricanes

The Reason: The Canes will put an end to the Bruins magical season with a win in game 6. It has been a great year for Boston, but the Carolina Hurricanes are too much for them right now.

The Game: Detroit Red Wings @ Anaheim Ducks (NHL)

The Pick: Detroit Red Wings

The Reason: The Wings have been playing like a different team over the last couple of games. It looks like they are on their way to a second straight conference finals. Take the Wings in this one.

Overall Record: (109-73-3) – Winning Percentage (0.60)

Total Pro Sports – Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.

The Game: Cleveland Cavaliers @ Atlanta Hawks (NBA)

The Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers

The Reason: The Cavs cannot be stopped right now and there is nothing the Hawks can do about it. Cleveland will the series tonight and wait for their chance to play Orlando.

The Game: Denver Nuggets @ Dallas Mavericks (NBA)

The Pick: Denver Nuggets

The Reason: The Nuggets are smacking teams around in the West, the same way the Cavs are putting the beat down in the East. The Nuggets will win this one big.

Total Pro Sports – Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.

The Game: Anaheim Ducks @ Detroit Red Wings (NHL)

The Pick: Detroit Red Wings

The Reason: The Wings have the momentum back and that could be bad news fro the Ducks. I think Detroit wins game 5 and the series.

The Game: Carolina Hurricanes @ Boston Bruins (NHL)

The Pick: Carolina Hurricanes

The Reason: Even though the Bruins are at home, I can’t see them winning this game. The Hurricanes have dominated the series and it looks like it will be over tonight.

Total Pro Sports – Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.

The Game: Pittsburgh Penguins @ Washington Capitals (NHL)

The Pick: Washington Capitals

The Reason: I dont think the Pens can take 2 in a row from the Caps right now. This just might be the year when Washsington returns to the finals.

The Game: Carolina Hurricanes @ Boston Bruins (NHL)

The Pick: Carolina Hurricanes

The Reason: The Hurricanes has been playing great hockey and I expect that to continue in this one. I think Bostons magical season is done after they lose this game.
