Simply put this is a huge week for us here at Bick’s Picks. Is it because we went 3-0 last week? Is it because we love this weekend’s slate of games? Let’s not be ridiculous. It’s because of the big matchup in Foxboro this weekend. I will of course be in attendance and so will some of our readers. Sure it would be nice if both our teams had more to play for but sometimes a 1pm rock fight is just as fun as a primetime marquee matchup. Regardless of who comes out on top it’ll be a fun weekend so let’s see if we can win some money while we’re at it.

Life’s Too Short to Bet the Under

Cowboys @ Eagles (47)

This week there’s a lot of low totals but a lot of ugly matchups. We got like 7 or 8 backup QBs playing and it’s only week 9. Fortunately for both these teams their QBs are healthy and are coming off their best games. Hurts and Dak both threw for 4 TDs and seem to have their offenses cooking. Not only are both QBs playing their best ball but when these teams meet it’s often a shootout with the last 6 matchups hitting the over. I’m betting these teams will score and give us an easy over win.

Fade Dawgs

Commanders(+2.5) @ Patriots

Oh c’mon you had to know they’d be on here and did you think I’d pick something different? Fuck the Pats. That’s the blog. You got a problem with that find me at Gillette Stadium in lot 54A on Sunday.

Bick’s Stone Cold Lock of the Century of the Week

Dolphins @ Chiefs (-1.5) (Germany)

I’ve gotten really good at ending win streaks here at Bick’s Picks. From the Eagles suffering their first loss in franchise history to the Jets to Mahomes suffering his first career loss to the Broncos. So naturally I’m betting on another win streak continuing. Mahomes has won 8 straight games after a loss which is the longest streak in the league. Also the Chiefs have never lost an international game having won in both London and Mexico City so why not Frankfurt too. On the flip side, even though I have relied on the Fins for some wins here at Bick’s Picks that’s been always been against bad competition. In the two games they’ve played against teams with winning records they’ve lost both in convincing fashion so I’m betting that continues overseas.
