1. Sunday 1:00
   Cardinals @ Atlanta(-7)
   As usual, I can’t get a handle on the Cardinals. Oh, wait, I think I have it—they blow. I’ll give the points.

   Rough game for the Falcons last week. I don’t think anyone would have beat the Saints in that game. The Falcons should bounce back big this week. Give the points.

   Saints @ Carolina(-7)
   Err, look, the Saints are on a roll and the Panthers didn’t exactly make a believer out of me by barely squeaking by the Bucs last week. Maybe Carolina wins, but that’s too many points.

   Huge letdown for the Saints. They’re going to get blindsided by the Panthers.

   Vikings @ Buffalo(-1)
   The Bills are not nearly as bad as I thought they’d be this year, but the Vikings are also better than I expected. Vikings win this one.

   The Vikings have been solid this year. I’ll take them here as well.

   Chargers @ Baltimore(+2.5)
   Mmm, I’d really like to see this game, becuase I’m not quite sure how good both of these teams are, but I’m beginning to think the Bolts might really have something this year, so I’ll take them.

   I really like the Ravens in this game. SD has been very conservative with Rivers and they won’t have that luxury against the Ravens D. They’ll open it up and get picked a couple of times. The Ravens will win by a touchdown or more.

   Dolphins @ Houston(+3.5)
   Even the Texans can’t lose all of them, and this seems like a good time to pick ‘em, so I will.

   I’ve been picking the Dolphins all year and I see every reason to stop. So I will. I’ll take Houston and the points.

   Cowboys @ Tennessee(+9)
   Oh, yeah, the Cowboys actually play football, too, don’t they? In my dream world, when I turn on ESPN, they’re not talking about “that player.” Ahh, a fantasy. Oh, and the Titans toally bite, give the points.

   Yeah, the Titans are bad. The Cowboys should cover this number even with “that distraction.”

   Niners @ Kansas City(-7)
   Uhh, Huard is still starting for KC, right? Take the Niners and the points.

   KC will be fine coming off a bye week. They should be able to muster a big win against the Niners, about whom I was totally wrong.

   Colts @ New Jersey Jest(+9)
   Indy is clearly the better team, but the Jets actually have some life this year and I wonder about Indy’s ability to really blow people out with no running game to eat up the clock late. My god, I’m actually picking the Jets!

   I don’t really know how to go in this game, but I guess I like getting the 9 points. Fine. Jets.

   Sunday, ~4:10
   Lions @ St. Louis(-5.5)
   Good seats still available on the Rams’ bandwagon, sheesh. However, the Lions continue to be a walking disaster. Rams. Probably 9-0 or 9-3.

   Wow, Detroit is bad. They have absolutely no running game and their pass defense is awful. I guess I’m taking the Rams too. Ew.

   Jaguars @ Washington(+3)
   How is this only three points? Look, the Skins offense only finally appeared vs. the Texans. That hardly counts. Jacksonville all the way.

   Yeah, the Skins think they’re superbowl winners after last week. Jax will come in and smack ‘em in the mouth and that will be that.

   Patriots @ Cinci(-6)
   The Pats’ mystique is just gone, and the Bengals are a machine this year. Bengals!

   Agreed. The Bengals in a romp. I’m going to start Bulger instead of Brady this week. Horrors!

   Browns @ Oakland(+3)
   Seriously, the Raiders might go 0-16 this season. Well, no, probably not, but I can’t see picking them at any point.

   But…you’re picking the Browns…on the road…against a team that isn’t the Ravens! I’ll take the Raiders and the points at home.

   Sunday NBC
   Seahawks @ Chicago(-3)
   I see this as a battle of field goals, since I don’t see either team moving the ball much. I expect a one-point game, so I’ll go with Seattle.

   I gotta go with Seattle. I’m excited to see the 4 receiver set stretch the Chicago D. And getting points! Cool.

   MNF
   Packers @ Philly(-11)
   Beating the Lions by seven doesn’t really count for much. Favre will get picked thee times and they’ll lose by like 14.

   Agreed. Philly beats up another bad team, and this time they’re at home.
