There is lots of good value to be found in the NFL picks this week.  The best bet of the round has to be the Greenbay Packers who are up against Brett Farve and the Vikings.  The Vikings form this season has been all over the place, whilst Greenbay has been one of the few consistent teams. The Giants are also good value paying 2.72.

If you are up for a bit of a punt, then the Detroit Lions are worth a shot at 3.30 against the Cowboys.  The Cowboys won convincingly last week, but like many teams this year have been way to inconsistent and could easily fall to the Lions.

Solid Picks

  • Tennessee Titans (1.33)
  • Kansas City Chiefs (1.32)
  • Greenbay Packers (1.64)
  • New York Jets (1.39)
  • Baltimore Ravens (1.16)
  • Atlanta Falcons (1.59)
  • New Orleans Saints (1.20)
  • San Diego Chargers (1.25)

Close Games

  • New England Patriots (1.56)
  • New York Giants (2.72)
  • Pittsburgh Steelers (1.34)
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2.80)
  • Cincinnati Bengals (1.50)
  • Detroit Lions (3.30)

  • Julius Peppers, Car $16.683M
  • Carson Palmer, Cin $16.166M
  • Eli Manning, NYG $15.285M
  • Nnamdi Asomugha, Oak $15.155
  • Ben Roethlisberger, Pit $14.664M

Julias Peppers signed a new six year deal in March 2010 worth $91.5 million.
