Week 3

Here are the games I am focusing on this week:

NE
The Patriots are being taken by a whopping 53% in OFP.  Their future schedule is decent enough with them favored by a TD or more 3 more times, and 2 more after week 10 when double picks start.  Even though this is by far their biggest line, and the biggest line of the week I am passing.

BAL
Similar to NE, but with less people taking them this week and more future value.  A wash for the 2 teams.  Additionally, division games in this -10.5 range have a tough time covering, so if you pick this game there is a chance you'll be sweating in the 4th quarter.

MIN
Their future value took a huge hit over the last 2 weeks with Vegas slashing a lot of their lines.  They only have 3 games where they are favored over a TD.  One is home for BUF in week 13 which is tempting to save.  There are 3 other lines of -10 or greater that week so I don't think its a huge deal.

As far as the actual game goes, they know they have to win.  0-2 and a pre-bye week.  They are in the same boat as BAL with the line being -11, but this being a pre-bye week, the numbers are very much in favor of MIN to win.  They are my pick this week.

IND/PIT
My numbers have IND right behind MIN for the top spot this week, and PIT 5th, but they both have too much future value.

NYG/CIN/HOU/ARI
All in the same boat from my numbers.  3 of the 4 should win, but unless you really want to risk it with ARI, I wouldn't tough these games.

WAS
Being taken by 3% but have only a 62% chance of winning according to my numbers.  Stay away.
