Sunday 1:00
Jaguars @ Philly(-7)
Two teams with consistency issues coming off bad losses. A recipe for disaster, my coin says Philly.

Falcons @ Cincinnati(-3.5)
I think something is seriously wrong with the Bengals. I’m not sure what it is, but it’s just not right. Take the points.

Cardinals @ Green Bay(-4)
Arizona looked like they were still shell-shocked last week. Favre covers.

Texans @ Tennessee(-3)
Well, the Texans now have as many wins as they had all of last season. But I can’t imagine they’ll look good two weeks in a row. Titans.

Seahawks @ Kansas City(-6)
Seneca Wallace and no Alexander on the road in Arrowhead? Uhh, yeah, give the points.

Bucs @ New Jersey Giants(-9)
The Giants are pretty good, but Tampa’s been staying close to people and that’s just too many points. Plus, it’s not a divisional game.

Ravens @ New Orleans(-2)
Policy until further notice: Take the Saints at home this year.

Niners @ Chicago(-16)
Huge spread, but given how SF has been playing lately, I’d be surprised if the Bears’ D didn’t cover this by themselves.

Sunday ~4:10
Rams @ San Diego(-10)
Too rich for my blood; that’s just a pile of points! St. Louis.

Jets @ Cleveland(-2)
Err, how are the Browns favored? They suck. Take the points, all the way.

Colts @ Denver(-3)
Fascinating game. Will the Broncos’ great D be able to stop Manning and co.? Can the Denver offense do… anything? Vegas has no idea either, obviously, with the generic “home team by 3” spread. In general, I’m with the Broncos at home.

Steelers @ Oakland(+9)
I think with Batch, who has actually looked better lately than Big Ben, Pittsburgh covers.

Sunday NBC
Cowboys @ Carolina(-5.5)
I’m worried about this game, because it seems clear to me that the Cowboys are a train wreck, yet that’s always when they kill me. Dammit, I’m still picking the Panthers.

MNF
Patriots @ Minnesota(+2)
Vikings are showing signs of life, I’m actually going to take the points. That and I haven’t picked enough underdogs this week.
