Well I continue to pick the winners - 3 nice ones last week all very comfortable.
This week I am in danger of maybe getting complacent - 2 games in particular jump out at me.
Resurgent New York Jets are back at home after 3 games on the road. They were wobbling but they came back with a bang last weekend when they whooped the raiders 38-0 in Oakland. They had let 'three-n-o' become 3-3 and the season looked iffy. The Dolphins registered just their second win of the year when they edged the Jets by 4pts in Miami 3 weeks ago. Not putting too fine a point on things, being a divisional game, both teams can do massive things to their standing with a win. And Miami Dolphins' play-off chances will be all but dashed if they are beaten. Rex Ryan will have learnt by the defeat in Miami, and if the Jets are to go into their bye-week in 4-3 as opposed to 3-4, expect the Meadowlands to be rocking. BIG GAME!
I will stick my neck out here and say that I think the Jets will win handy. Their running game is getting going and complimenting rookie Sanchez. I think Stan James 12pts at 11/4 is very nice indeed, with a saver on the more standard -3.5pts available with the majority of firms.
RECOMMENDATION: NEW YORK JETS (-12pts) 11/4 Stan James

Not sure what has happened Baltimore Ravens - they have a 3 game losing streak - but those games were away at in form Pats and Vikings, and a loss at home to flying Bengals, Saying that, Denver's 6 game winning run has seen wins on the road at Dallas. This game is scary though - Ravens despite their 3 defeats are ranked 5th in points scored, 5th in yards - so how do you match them against the Broncos, who after all are the No.1 ranked defense in the league. They allow only an average of 11pts per game.
The key to the game is whether Joe Flacco can get loose and I don't think he will. Broncos will eat up the Ravens run, and therefore odds of the Denver Broncos winning are, frankly, disrespectful to a team undefeated almost half way through the season. I forecast a dour, low scorer.
RECOMMENDATION: DENVER BRONCOS 13/8 Stan James
