Sunday 1:00
Titans @ Indianapolis(15.5)
If there’s a reason to think the Colts won’t cover this, I can’t think of it.
Vikings(2.5) @ Detroit
I’m typing this pick before I even look at the spread. I don’t care what it is, there is no way I’m picking the Lions right now.
Packers @ Chicago(7)
The Bears could cover this without their offense even taking the field. They’ll return at least one INT for a TD as Favre heaves into coverage while being pulled down. I’m starting one of the Bears’ DBs in fantasy football and I’m expecting at least two picks.
Jaguars(3) @ Cleveland
Even without Leftwich, the Jags are more than a FG better than the hapless Browns, right?
Falcons @ Carolina(3)
I think the Panthers are the better team but I’m taking the points. Carolina’s fastest LB is out, and they have enough trouble with Vick without being slow on the edges.
Texans @ Baltimore(8)
Houston is going to lose all the rest of their games to guarantee them the first draft pick, but they have to look like they’re trying. I say they lose by only six.
Bengals @ Pittsburgh(3.5)
Even with Big Ben nicked up, the Steelers are an above-.500 team. The Bengals do not beat good teams, particularly not on the road. Steelers.
Cowboys @ New Jersey Giants(3)
Call me crazy, but the Giants have been money at home this year, I’m sticking with ‘em..
Bucs(3.5) @ New Orl, San Ant, Baton… the friggin’ Saints
So, when the Saints mail it in, what’s the originating postmark?
Bills @ Miami(5)
Buffalo has been horrific on the road, so I’ll give the points.
Sunday ~4:10
Cardinals(3) @ San Francisco
Arizona is 3-8 against the spread this year and is a road favorite. Yeah, I know, against the horrible Niners, but still, I have to take the points.
Redskins(3) @ St. Louis
Let’s see how Harvard boy looks against a real defense, not the Division II squad he lit up last week. I’m going with the Redskins.
Jest @ New England(10)
Ten? Ten! Are they serious? If the Pats get up by ten they’ll let guys from the stands come in at DB. They will not cover this.
Broncos(1) @ Kansas City
As bizarre as it seems, I think the Broncos are the second best team in the NFL right now, so why’s the spread only 1? Whatever, I’m taking the Denver running game and defense to win by more than a measly point.
ESPN
Raiders @ San Diego(11.5)
Hmm, apparently Vegas misplaced some of the points in the Broncos game and mistakenly gave them to the Chargers. I have no doubt that if the Chargers bring their A game, they can cover this. But they’re rather prone to not always bringing their A game. On the other hand, they hate the Raiders so they probably will. Bolts!
MNF
Seahawks(4) @ Philadelphia
Here’s a couple more points from the Chargers game. The Eagles are a train wreck, Seattle easily covers this.
