Sunday Preview with week 10 Spread Picks

Last week against he spread

Mayo: 6-7

Anderson: 8-5

Year to date

Mayo: 35-31-1

Anderson: 33-33-1

1:00pm

Atlanta at Carolina

Mayo: Atlanta (-1.5)

Anderson: Atlanta (-1.5)

Keep an eye on DeAngelo Williams. He sat out Friday’s practice with a sore knee and is now listed as questionable for the game. If he sits out, Jonathan Stewart gets a significant bump and becomes a top tier option at running back against a bad Falcon defense.

Tampa Bay at Miami

Mayo: Miami (-10)

Anderson: Miami (-10)

If you’re desperate at receiver, Sammie Stroughter has 6+ fantasy points in three straight games and gets a soft match up against the Dolphins secondary.

Detroit at Minnesota

Mayo: Minnesota (-17)

Anderson: Minnesota (-17)

Calvin Johnson should be back to full health this week but will need some help from a struggling Matt Stafford. Megatron scored his only touchdown in the previous match up with the Vikings back in week 2.

Jacksonville at New York Jets

Mayo: New York (-6.5)

Anderson: New York (-6.5)

Darrelle Revis has shut down Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, and Marques Colston so far this year. Mike Sims-Walker is good but he’s not an elite talent, Rives will keep him from doing too much.

Cincinnati at Pittsburgh

Mayo: Pittsburgh (-7)

Anderson: Cincinnati (+7)

After their two great corners, the Bengals secondary is actually pretty terrible. Watch out for rookie Mike “60 minutes” Wallace. He can provide some help to your receiving corps this week if you need a boost. He has at least 50 yards in four straight and touchdowns in three straight.

New Orleans at St. Louis

Mayo: New Orleans (-13.5)

Anderson: St. Louis (+13.5)

The Rams rank 23rd against the pass, 27th against the run, and 29th in points allowed per game. Offensively, the Saints rank 4th in passing, 5th on the ground, and 1st in points scored. If there ever was a week to take advantage of a match up, this is it. If you need some high upside sleepers to fill out the line for this week so you could a lot worse than Devry Henderson, Robert Meachum, or Mike Bell.

Buffalo at Tennessee

Mayo: Tennessee (-6.5)

Anderson: Tennessee (-6.5)

Justin Gage will miss the next four weeks with broken bones in his back. Keep an eye on Nate Washington and Kenny Britt to see who emerges to grab some of the ten passes at Vince Young attempts a week.

Denver at Washington

Mayo: Denver (-3.5)

Anderson: Denver (-3.5)

Clinton Portis will miss the game with a concussion leaving the door wide open for Ladell Betts to get the full work load. A feature back in any offense is highly valuable in the era of platoons, so Betts makes a good start the next few weeks while Portis sits out. This week does not provide the greatest match up but you have to play him over low end platoon options.

4:00 pm

Kansas City at Oakland

Mayo: Oakland (+1.5)

Anderson: Kansas City (-1.5)

This line basically dares you to take the Chiefs so I’ll follow conventional gambling rules and bet against it. GO RAIDERS!

Seattle at Arizona

Mayo: Arizona (-8.5)

Anderson: Arizona (-8.5)

Despite the great match up on paper, Matt Hasselbeck laid a hug egg back in week 6 when the Cards traveled North. So don’t salivate too much over his possibilities this week.

Dallas at Green Bay

Mayo: Dallas (-3)

Anderson: Dallas (-3)

Tony Romo is slightly above average in November. Despite my November confidence in Romo, I am conflicted about this game. I think this will be the shoot out of the week but every time I declare that, it’s always a defensive battle. But this a match up of the 5th and 7th highest scoring teams, expect fireworks.

Philadelphia at San Diego

Mayo: San Diego (-2)

Anderson: Philadelphia (+2)

This should be a nice rebound game for Antonio Gates as Philly really struggles covering the pass up the middles. Gates’ size advantage against the speedy but undersized Eagle line backing corps provides a juicy match up for the under performing tight end.

8:15 pm

New England at Indianapolis

Mayo: New England (+3)

Anderson: Indianapolis (-3)

Stay away form betting this game unless you have some inside information. Many are dubbing this the Game of the Year and they may be right. This is as closely matched as these teams have been in years which should provide a nice high scoring, close affair. I’ll take the points.

Monday Night

Baltimore at Cleveland

Mayo: Baltimore (+10.5)

Anderson: Baltimore: (+10.5)

I’d take the Ravens by 25 in this one. Covering only 10.5 should be a piece of cake.
