October 17th Picks

  There really isn't a lot to pick today that looks safe. If you have a streak of 10 or more you may want to skip the day unless you really feel sure about something. You still have 2 weeks though before the end of the month so missing a day shouldn't hurt you. Today I'm going to do something a little different, by listing all my choices for today's picks after my favorite since a lot of you ask a lot about other picks. Here is the pick that looks the best of the worst (in my opinion)...

Pick #1 24 points or fewer scored in the second half

  I need to look at how the first half pans out, but so far this pick looks pretty good. The Jets have an outstanding passing defense, ranking 5th in the NFL, allowing about 203 passing yards a game. Rush defense for the Jets has been another story as they rank 28th giving up about 135 yards a game. The Dolphins have a pretty mediocre defnese (31st in pass defense, 13th in rush defense), but with the Jets horrible offense, they may be ok. The Jets rank 22nd in passing yards (221 a game) and 31st in rushing yards (76 a game). Still we have to see how the first half goes, but at a glance I would go 24 or under.

My other picks for the day (the coin-flippers)

FC Copenhagen Win- FC is 9-2-0 with a 14 goal difference and 29 goals. AC Horsens is 4-4-3 with a 4pt goal difference and 16 goals this season. FC has only drawn twice, and beat Horsens 1-0 on the road.

Osasuna win or draw- If Osasuna was at home I think they would win outright. Still, I like the draw option.

Toronto Maple Leafs- Tough to call, but Toronto just because they are at home.

Miami Dolphins Single Digit Loss- I flipped a coin, it landed on heads... so single digit loss. Plus both teams are aweful.

First score of the MNF game (NFL football)- Flip your own coin. Not sure I can decide.

Nashville Predators-

  2. I dont really know. I want to say pretty confident, but I'm not sure I would risk a W12 on it. There is still plenty of time, no need to rush. But if you feel good about it, by all means take it. FC is your best bet of the 2
