Ugh, getting late again…
Saturday NFLN
Chefs @ Oakland(+6.5)
Dunno, more points than I had hoped. Oh, wait, it’s the Raiders, I’ll give ‘em.
Sunday 1:00
Bears @ Detroit(+4.5)
The Lions are completely pathetic and Grossman seems to be playing well again, so I have to give the points.
Redskins @ St. Louis(-2)
I love getting points here; the Rams just seem so befuddled this season.
Saints @ New Jersey Giants(-3)
Is there a team with more talent and yet more disfunction than the Giants? I think not. Saints.
Ravens @ Pittsburgh(-3)
Uhh, yeah, the game is in Pittsburgh, but the wrong team is favored here–the Ravens are still alive for the #2 seed in the AFC, so they’ll not give in. Love getting the points.
Panthers @ Atlanta, no line
Carolina is done, Falcons all the way.
Patriots @ Jacksonville(-3)
OK, so my plan recently has been to take the Jags at home, and take their opponent on the road. Works well so far, I’ll stick with it.
Titans @ Buffalo(-4.5)
Sweet, I’m happy to take points with Vince. Man, the Texans front office screwed up…
Colts @ Houston(+9)
Yeah, these Texans. Indy covers this.
Buccaneers @ Cleveland(-3)
Battle of the backup QBs. I think Rattay is better than the no-name starting for Cleveland, so I’m taking the points.
Sunday, ~4:10
Cardinals @ San Francisco(-4)
While the Cards have shown some signs of life of late, the Niners are amazingly still alive for the division crown, and I think they’ll win. Will they cover? Ugh, man, I wish the spread were three. No, give the points anyway.
Bengals @ Denver(-3)
Denver, another team I like at home and hate on the road. Game in mile high, so I’ll take the Broncos.
Chargers @ Seattle(+4.5)
I find it hard to imagine how anyone could like the Seabags after last week’s horrific performance. The Bolts shouldn’t have any problem with them.
Sunday NBC
Eagles @ Dallas(-7)
OK, so this is a really tough game to pick. I like the Eagles with Garcia, but I think the Cowboys still win the game. But by a TD? I’m not so sure about that. I think I’ll take the points.
MNF
Jets @ Miami(-2.5)
OK, Jets, this is the “show me” game. Show me that you deserve the wildcard. J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!
