But I believe my official policy this season is to not pick the Raiders, and I&#x2019;m sticking to it.<\/p>\n<p><em>Vikings @ Seattle(-6.5)<\/em><br \/>\nSean Alexander still out? Then they don&#x2019;t cover this.<\/p>\n<p><em>Redskins @ Colts(-9)<\/em><br \/>\nYou know what? I think the Colts are the better team. But I don&#x2019;t think they&#x2019;ll cover this. The Colts can&#x2019;t stop the run, and the Redskins will run constantly and control the clock enough to keep Indy from running up the score. <\/p>\n<p><strong>MNF<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Giants @ Dallas(-3.5)<\/em><br \/>\nBeating the crap out of Houston does not mean the Cowboys are actually good, and so far the G-men have been gold in divisional games, so I&#x2019;m going with the Giants again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update on last week later&#8230; Sunday 1:00 Chargers @ Kansas City(+5) This is a gift, I&#x2019;ll gladly give five.
