Wagering With Ira

September 17th, 2022

Handicapper

Follow along as JoeBucsFan.com columnist Ira Kaufman makes three NFL picks each week against the spread.

Point spreads courtesy of Joe’s good friends at BetMGM. You may follow various point spreads courtesy of VegasInsider.com.

UNCLE IRA

Houston
at Denver -10

Denver rebounds from a miserable loss to Seattle as Russell Wilson returns to form.

Indianapolis +3.5
at Jacksonville

Indy has a knack for playing down to the competition while Jacksonville is on the right track.

Arizona
at Las Vegas -5.5

It looks like a long year in the desert for Kyler Murray. Derek Carr will put up big numbers at home.

JOE

Seahawks
at 49ers -9

Usually, you stay away from a team traveling after a Monday night game. But Trey Lance is rotten to the core. 49ers may win but they won’t cover.  

Cincinnati -7.5
at Dallas

Bengals blew a win over the Steelers last week. This week, they won’t get off to such a poor start.

Tennessee
Buffalo -10

The well-rested Bills will roll. After the game, Ryan Tannehill will ask his wife if she can return to modeling to support the family.    

Bob The Bookie (Joe’s old college buddy)

Carolina
at New York Giants -2
Panthers defense comes back with a smothering “W.” Giants run game isn’t Cleveland’s.
.
Cincinnati -7.5
at Dallas
.
The Dallas meltdown continues without their quarterback.
.
Houston
at Denver -10

Too many points for Denver to spot while they figure out their offense. Davis Mills is underrated.

2022 Season Record: Ira 1-2; Joe 0-3; Bob The Bookie, 2-1.

    Detroit -1.5 over Washington.
    This well balanced Lions squad has the look of an underrated team in the early stages of a decent season.

    Minnesota +2 over Philly.
    Cousins to Jefferson is a lethal connection and the defense isn’t too shabby, having stymied the all mighty Packers the previous week.

    Buffalo -10 over Tennessee.
    There probably won’t be too many teams that come within 10 points of this dangerous Bills team, especially after the return of Tredavious White.

    Last week 1-1-1

    Cincy (-7.5) over Dallas, a lot of points to cover but I suspect Cincy will noiot have 5 turnovers like it did last week and will put up 30+ while I doubt if Dallas can get to 20.

    Buffalo (-10) against the Titans; I think Buffalo will boatrace TN, like Dallas, I think TN will have trouble finding points.

    Carolina (+2) against the Giants. I simply do not believe the Giants can win 2 in a row. Panthers shutdown Barkley ad Baker M does just enough to win a low scoring game.
