On this week's episode of The Spread, NESN's football picks podcast, Mike Cole and Ricky Doyle break down all the major storylines that came out of week 9 in the NFL including another loss for the Patriots and "the under" making a comeback. They discuss Bill Belichick's potentially coaching for his job and the latest rumors about New England's interest in Mike Vraibel and Nick Caserio.
With the first half of the season in the books, the guys look back at their best (and worst) takes going into the year.
As always, Mike and Ricky each give their three best bets for this week in the NFL. Some matchups that stand out are the Detroit Lions coming off a bye and playing on the road against the LA Chargers, why the San Francisco 49ers are better than three point favorites against the Jacksonville Jaguars, inadvertently make a case to bet the point total in that matchup, and more.
