We’re still hot over here at Stein vs. The Field after an 8-5 week, bringing us to 40-30-1 over the past five weeks.
People ask how I do it. I tell them: get the fuck away from me, commoner.
Week 9: 8-5
2019 Season: 52-48-1
THE LOCKS
Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers (-6)
Monday, Nov 11 – 8:15 EST
No, this is not me saying that I don’t believe in the 49ers. 8-0 speaks for itself. But it is me saying that I believe in the Seahawks as well.
Regardless of where this game is going to be played, Russell Wilson & Co. always keep things close. I personally threw on this one, and actually bought an extra point or two, but gifting Seattle six points should be plenty.
Just know that if the Seahawks find themselves down 10 points halfway through the fourth quarter, it’s exactly where they want to be. The Niners won’t win by more than 3, and this might be a great spot to dance with a juicy +230 money line and take Seattle straight up.
Pick: Seahawks +6
Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears (-2.5)
Sunday, Nov 10 – 1:00 EST
Last week, we talked about the too-good-to-be-true line, a weekly Vegas staple. But sometimes you can’t overthink these things.
The Bears suck. The Lions are okay. Mitch Trubisky sucks. Matthew Stafford is very good. Matt Nagy sucks. Matt Patricia is decent, but more importantly a defensive specialist. And the Bears already can’t score.
Even on the road, giving the Lions a 2.5-point cushion is enough.
Pick: Lions +2.5
Arizona Cardinals at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-4.5)
Sunday, Nov 10 – 1:00 EST
I would pick against Jameis Winston if he were my own son.
