Frey’s Locks: Week 10 NFL picks

Last week’s 2-2 record confirmed 3 things for all of us:

1. Giving up more than 10 points on a bet in today’s NFL is not a good idea.
2. The Steelers were obviously wearing their Bumblebee  Man  jerseys underneath their road whites.
3. Phillip Rivers is a wang.

Miami @ Detroit (-2.5)

Despite Miami’s good old fashioned arse-kicking of the Chargers last week (for which I am personally very grateful) I think both the wise-guys and the public are overrating the Dolphins this week.

Megatron and Reggie H.W. Bush are back and healthy after the bye week and everyone knows that the Dolphin QB struggles when away from the friendly confines of South Beach.

Given that Detroit tops any sane person’s list of “cesspool cities”, Tannehill will probably play like the poor man’s Tim Couch.



One of these pictures is of Hiroshima in late 1945.  The other is of Detroit earlier this year.  Can you tell which is which?   Me neither.

 

San Francisco @ New Orleans (-3.5)

It is tough for any competitor to constantly watch their famously mobile QB take a crap-load of stupid sacks and still throw a bunch of ridiculous interceptions.

These poor SOBs on the 49ers have to watch their QB take dumb sacks and throw picks all the while getting yelled at by that butthole, Jim Harbaugh.

 

I think the wheels are finally coming off in the city by the bay.

 

This has nothing to do with my pick.  I just love this picture.

 

Pittsburgh (-4) @ NY Jets

This game is most definitely the “Admiral Akbar Game of the Week.”

The Steelers are killing good teams by throwing the ball around like last year’s Broncos.  

Meanwhile, the Jets have one of (if not THE) worst secondaries in football and are only slightly better than awful on offense even with a dinged-up 47 year old Michael Vick at the helm.

I have a feeling that Vegas knows something I don’t here but I’m gonna jump into this trap with both feet.


Chicago @ Green Bay (-7)

As most of you probably know by now, I hate giving up anything more than 6 ½.

 

But then I remember that Jay Cutler is still the QB of the Bears and he loses games in Lambeau by an average of 247 points and I feel pretty good about laying the 7.

 

I doubt that getting screamed at by Brandon Marshall is going to faze Mr. Franchise here.  

 

Yep.  This guy gets paid 19 million more per year than Russell Wilson

 

Season record against the spread:  21-15
