NFL WEEK 9

How about dem....Dolphins!!! Three games have ended on a safety in the history of the NFL. Can you name them? 
We didn't pick the Fins, but their victory makes perfect sense in our regression to the mean theory of NFL betting: the Fins came in with a 4 game losing streak and the Bengals, on the road, had a 4 game winning streak, three of those games by last second field goals. The Bengals were due for a loss, the Fins due for a win. 


SURVIVOR POOL:  Is this week we get a winner? Everyone has picked the Cowboys over the visiting Vikes except Colby who likes the Pack (and can please stop thanking us in every email for running the pool). Colby has put himself into a position to win this week.

PICKS:
It's a difficult week, but we will try our best:

Colts -2.5 over struggling Texans. Colts have recently played this game well on the road and they are the better team. 

Ravens -2.5 at struggling Browns. It's time for the Ravens to begin to make their playoff run. It's time for the Browns to get serious about landing the number one pick next year. 

Bills +4.5 at home over the Chiefs. The Bills are playing tough, even with a third string QB. Their Defense is keeping them in games and they are a good home dog. Also take the under 43. 

If you're playing the J..E...T...S cycle, one week up, one week down, this is their up week. So take them at home +6.5 over the Saints.
