Been a busy holiday season for me with the stock market acting more like a casino. Fortunately been able to restore my model portfolio (my own IRA account) into positive territory in 2008, with an average annual return of 14.2% since 1/1/2000.

Although not able to watch as much football as in past seasons, we’ve quietly put up numbers comparable to high priced handicapping services in Vegas again this season (Belforti Bros 23 wins and 12 losses for 65.7%. vs the spread). Here’s our best picks for this weekend.

Miami –6 vs SF – Miami is 6-1 last 7 weeks and if they win out, they will win AFC East. Frank Gore is questionable with a sprained left ankle.

Washington Redskins -6.5 at Cincinnati Bengals - Skins pass rush too much for QB Ryan Fitzpatrick.
