Bleah, sick as a dog…
Sunday 1:00
Vikings @ Washington(+1.5)
Wrong team favored, take the Redskins all the way. Just because Chili is gone doesn’t mean the Vikings will have a resurgence like the Cowboys.
Steelers @ Buffalo(+6.5)
I like the Bills to keep it close, which they’ve done a lot of this season. Lose, but keep it close.
Panthers @ Cleveland(-9.5)
Wow, Carolina is bad, but are they really 10 points worse than Cleveland? On the road, I think so.
Titans @ Houston(-6)
Please, the Texans shouldn’t be giving six to anybody right now.
Jaguars @ New Jersey Giants(-7)
Seems like too many points to me, as the Jags have been game of late.
Packers @ Atlanta(-2)
The spread seems about right. I won’t bet against the Falcons at home, but the Packers will probably keep it close. I like the Falcons here because they can actually run the ball–that’ll be the difference.
Sunday ~4:10
Chiefs @ Seattle(+2.5)
KC is not a very good road team. Seattle is traditionally a good home team. I think the Chiefs are a better team overall, but they can’t play all their games at Arrowhead, so I’m taking the points.
Dolphins @ Oakland(-2.5)
Thigpen still, right? Raiders.
Buccaneers @ Baltimore(-7.5)
Hey now, Tampa’s actually been good! Not sure how, but they have, and I think that’s too many points.
Eagles @ Chicago(+3.5)
The Bears, on the other hand, are not as good as their record. Philly will set that right; give the points.
Rams @ Denver(-3.5)
The Broncos seem to be crashing, despite the big number they put up on KC. i like the Rams defense to keep this one manageable and maybe even pull off the win.
SNF
Chargers @ Indianapolis(-3)
This is the game of the week, I think, Bolts vs. Colts. I hate picking against the Colts at home, and I hate picking against the Chargers in the second half of the season. And have you looked at the injury reports for these two teams? Yikes! While I’ll be rooting for the Chargers, I have to think the Colts at home just have a little bit too much vs. a very depleted Chargers squad.
MNF
Niners @ Arizona(+1)
I cannot pick a team with no quarterback, so that means… oh, yeah, that’s a problem here, isn’t it? Hmm. Well, the Cardinals are completely horrible, and the Niners only kind of suck, so I’ll take SF here, I guess.
