Friday
Chefs @ Miami(1.5)
I have exactly no idea. I guess if it’s a coin toss, I’ll take the points. (Note: I sent this pick off to a buddy on Thursday. Really.)

Sunday, 1:00
Detroit @ Cleveland(3)
I’m testing out a new rule here: no NFC North teams on the road outside the division.

Packers(1.5) @ Minnesota
Farve is usually horrible in the BaggieDome, but is there any more of a train wreck than the Vikings right now? I’ll give the points.

Colts(15.5) @ Houston
Well, if the answer to the above question is “yes,” it’s the Texans. Indy rolls–Carr sacked eight or nine times, easy.

Saints @ St. Louis(3)
Bugler is still out, right? Saints.

Steelers @ Cincinnati(1)
OK, so the Bengals have this flashy record, but Big Ben is back and the Bengals haven’t exactly been beating up on the league’s elite. I’ll take the Stillers.

Chargers @ Philadelphia(3.5)
I don’t see how the Iggles hold the ball long enough to keep LT from running all over them.

Niners @ Washington(13)
Hmm, rookie Alex Smith on the road against a real defense. Uhh, give the points.

Sunday, ~4:10
Cowboys @ Seattle(4)
Seabags at home. I’d be happier if the spread were 2, though, as I wouldn’t be too surprised if it was only by a field goal. Oh, wait, I think Julius Jones it out–4 should be safe.

Ravens @ Chicago(1)
Wow, this could be the worst-quaterbacked game of the year–two horrible passers against two good defenses. I think the Bears are slightly less sad.

Bills @ Oakland(3)
Moss is out, the Bills lead their division, and the Raiders are favored? Whatever, I’ll gladly take those points–Bills win outright.

Broncos @ New Jersey NFC(2)
Fascinating. I dunno, the Broncos really have looked good since that opening week debacle. I like them getting points.

Titans @ Arizona(4)
Uhh, wow. No idea yet again. OK, I’ll make something up: I see the Titans handing off a lot and that working enough to keep it within a FG. It’s not like the Cards actually have a home field advantage. What I really want to know is: What’s the over/under on attendance for this game, 10,000? 8,000?

MNF
Jest @ Atlanta(7)
Vick and Dunn are healthy. Is anyone on the Jets healthy? Anyone who matters? No? Falcons.
