It's at home, and even though I was right they'd lose last week, I think I'm a believer now. I'll take the Falcons! Redskins @ Cincinnati(+7) This is a meaningless game. Alas, it turns out the NFC east wasn't what we thought it was. It's possible they'll only get 1 team in the playoffs and the NFC South will get 3! Shocking! But Cinci is just done. If Marvin Lewis wasn't playing for that cheap-ass owner, he'd be gone by now. Give the points. Redskins. Titans @ Houston(+3) This is Houston's superbowl, so they will keep it close. But not that close. The Titans want home field. Give the points. Lions @ Indianapolis(-17.5) The Lions missed their chance last week. This will be a VERY ugly game. Indy by 30. Packers @ Jacksonville(+1.5) Both teams have lost like 3 or 4 in a row. Just disappointing how both teams fared this year. I guess I'll take the Packers because their passing game is better. Chargers @ Kansas City(+5.5) Norv Turner and Herm Edwards. There's a future superbowl matchup. I guess I like getting the points at home. This is probably the last shot for Thigpen to nail down the job for next year. Niners @ Miami(-6.5) I think this game will be close. In fact, the Niners will lead most of the way and give it up in the fourth quarter, as has been their way under Singletary. I still think he should get the job because I'm a fan. I'll take the points. Bills @ New Jersey Jets(-7.5) The Jets seriously need this game. They are still atop the division though due to tiebreakers. And next week will be a glorious Miami stomping. Go JETS! Seahawks @ St. Louis(+2.5) Wow, this game is teh lose. I'lll take the Seahawks. Sunday ~4:10 Vikings @ Arizona(-3) No doubt Tavaris Jackson will have to make some plays, but Arizona is just playing out the string. They can lose these games and still have home field. I'll take the Vikings and the points. And Adrian Peterson. Steelers @ Baltimore(-2.5) Wow, this is the game of the week. I see this being a very close game. If Ben can get the ball out quick against blitzes, the Steelers should squeak one out. I'll take the points. Broncos @ Carolina(-7.5) Carolina has the running game cooking and the Broncos are beat up and can't stop it. Too much at home. I'll give the points. Patriots @ Oakland(+7) The Patriots will handle Oakland. They need the win to keep pace. And the Raiders...yipes. SNF Giants @ Dallas(-3) Man, it's fun to see all this Dallas shenanigans. But TO's not the problem lately, it's Romo. He's so careless with the ball, and it continues to cost them in big games. Of course this is a must-win for the Cowboys. I actually like them at home. I'll give the points. MNF Browns @ Philadelphia(-14) So many points! Gah! This resurgence could get Philly into the playoffs, but it will be funny if that Cinci tie keeps them out. They'll win this game...but by how much! Bah, I need to take the points. Sunday 1:00
