Throwing Darts: Zig-Zagging with the Giants
Five picks against the Yahoo Pro Football PickEm spread, that's how we roll here. Share your five best in the comments.
Zig-zag theory insists you use the Giants +6.5. New York just got embarrassed on National TV, and the Cowboys had a very public win at Seattle, too. Be wary of outlier results, and take the line value that ensues from them.
If you trust a coach, you want to invest in him after a bye week. Andy Reid +4 and Sean Payton +3, those will be two of our tickets.
I can't in good conscience spot a big number with a very flawed Washington team. Tennessee has plenty of playmakers, if Ken Whisenhunt feels like unlocking them for once. Titans +5.5 will go to post.
Back with the plucky Raiders +3.5, liking what Derek Carr brings to the table with his two primary wideouts (Holmes, Jones). Arizona's overrated secondary has been toasted all season.
