OK, sorry it’s late, but I only got the computer unpacked on Thursday night, and I had other football concerns on Saturday. Grrr. At least it was a good game.
Last week: 6-10 Season: 69-69-6
Al last week: 6-10 Season: 62-76-6
Sunday 1:00
Rams @ Carolina(-7)
Carolina’s been so inconsistent this year, as have the Rams. Seems like too many points for a game where nearly anything could happen.
Patriots @ Green Bay(+5.5)
Maybe I’m crazy, but I think the Pats break out of their funk and win… but fail to cover!
Falcons @ Baltimore(-4)
Atlanta seems very confused right now, and even though Ray Lewis is out, I’m going to have to take the Ravens here.
Raiders @ Kansas City(-9.5)
That’s a lot of points, and the Raiders have done well against the spread lately… but on the road at Arrowhead? Somehow that doesn’t seem likely to me. Chefs.
Bills @ Houston(-2.5)
How about that, the Texans actually favored! I’ll even pick them to celebrate.
Vikings @ Miami(-3.5)
I dunno, I didn’t see what happened last week, but I just don’t trust Miami.
Bengals @ New Orleans(-3.5)
Cincinnati just doesn’t have it together this season. Saints.
Bears @ New Jersey Jets(+7)
Second straight game in the swamp for the Bears… and the Jets aren’t as good as the Giants, so I have to take the Bears again.
Titans @ Philly(-13)
Too many points–the Titans have at least figured out how to keep it close.
Steelers @ Cleveland(+3.5)
OK, are the Steelers back? The ship righted at all? Then again, it’s the Brown, does it even matter if the ship is righted? Pittsburgh.
Redskins @ Tampa Bay(-3)
Bleah. Two playoff teams last year who won’t be making it back. Redskins, I guess.
Sunday, ~4:10
Lions @ Arizona(-2)
The Lions have been really up and down and they scare me. However, the Cardinals are just plain bad, and I can’t believe they’re favored. Take the points.
Seahawks @ San Francisco(+4.5)
Hmm, will the Seabags have Alexander and Hasselbeck for this game? The Niners have actually shown some life lately, but against the Vikings and the Lions, that’s not really saying much. Seattle.
Colts @ Dallas(+1)
Gotta pick the Colts. I don’t believe in the Dallas corners. Indy probably wins by only a field goal, but they’ll win, so I’m picking ‘em.
Sunday NBC
Chargers @ Denver(-2.5)
I always get burned when I pick against Denver at home, so I won’t go against that tide.
MNF
Giants @ Jacksonville(-3.5)
Man, the injury list for the Giants is like… half the team. Nonetheless, I’m going to have trouble picking any team which loses twice to the Texans. Take the points.
