NFL Saturday action
I like Saturday’s games way more than I like Sunday’s. That doesn’t mean that I am going to be original, though – it’s going to be all about the chalk today. I don’t love being in line with the public, but I can’t justify going another way here.
Washington (+3.5) at Seattle – The Redskins have been playing with emotion and determination. The Seahawks really haven’t. Washington matches up well on the run against the Seattle front line, and should be able to score. If Seattle wins they should win a close game, and my guess is that they won’t even manage that. Pick: Washington.
Jacksonville (-2.5) at Pittsburgh – Jacksonville is the total media darling, but in this case they deserve it. Pittsburgh has looked lackluster recently. They have lost three of four. Jacksonville beat them less than a month ago, and that was before the Steelers got hit badly by injuries. The Jags will be able to run all day, and they will score at a pace that I am not sure Pittsburgh can match in their current state. This is my favorite game of the weekend. Pick: Jacksonville.
