Default Guaranteed winner this weekend-NFL

For a elimation pool, need a guaranteed winner this weekend. This is not a typical survivor, the same team can be picked more than once during the year. Right now I'm leaning towards Cincy at home against the Texans, but for some reason I am unsure. Who would you pick?

Isn't Indy playing Tennessee? I don't think this is the week the Colts choke. Wait til they play the Pats, as usual.

Why don't you find the biggest home favorite and bet it?.

That is basically what I did, as Cincy was a 10 point favorite when I last looked. Just wondering if they are the best bet to win straight up this week.

Even if the linesmakers are off on the line, they aren't off by that much. I am not saying I would lay 10 points or take 10 points (of course, I wouldn't ever lay 10 points in the NFL), but you just need to win straight up. And yeah, upsets happen, but this should be the least likely upset.

Picking off ten passes in two weeks isn't enough?

"After last week's game in Chicago, Bears rookie QB Kyle Orton tried to throw his athletic supporter into the hamper, but Bengals CB Keiwan Ratliff intercepted it and ran 35 yards into the parking lot."

I'd take the PACKERS as a sure bet ... on the road ... at a hungry Carolina Panthers team ... on Monday night.

On second thought, better stick with the Colts or Bengals [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
