Seems like too many points for a game where nearly anything could happen.<\/p>\n<p><em>Patriots @ Green Bay(+5.5)<\/em><br \/>\nMaybe I\u2019m crazy, but I think the Pats break out of their funk and win&#8230; but fail to cover!<\/p>\n<p><em>Falcons @ Baltimore(-4)<\/em><br \/>\nAtlanta seems very confused right now, and even though Ray Lewis is out, I\u2019m going to have to take the Ravens here.<\/p>\n<p><em>Raiders @ Kansas City(-9.5)<\/em><br \/>\nThat\u2019s a lot of points, and the Raiders have done well against the spread lately&#8230; but on the road at Arrowhead? Somehow that doesn\u2019t seem likely to me. Chefs.<\/p>\n<p><em>Bills @ Houston(-2.5)<\/em><br \/>\nHow about that, the Texans actually favored! I\u2019ll even pick them to celebrate.<\/p>\n<p><em>Vikings @ Miami(-3.5)<\/em><br \/>\nI dunno, I didn\u2019t see what happened last week, but I just don\u2019t trust Miami.<\/p>\n<p><em>Bengals @ New Orleans(-3.5)<\/em><br \/>\nCincinnati just doesn\u2019t have it together this season. Saints.<\/p>\n<p><em>Bears @ New Jersey Jets(+7)<\/em><br \/>\nSecond straight game in the swamp for the Bears&#8230; and the Jets aren\u2019t as good as the Giants, so I have to take the Bears again.<\/p>\n<p><em>Titans @ Philly(-13)<\/em><br \/>\nToo many points&#8211;the Titans have at least figured out how to keep it close.<\/p>\n<p><em>Steelers @ Cleveland(+3.5)<\/em><br \/>\nOK, are the Steelers back? The ship righted at all? Then again, it\u2019s the Brown, does it even matter if the ship is righted? Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<p><em>Redskins @ Tampa Bay(-3)<\/em><br \/>\nBleah. Two playoff teams last year who won\u2019t be making it back. Redskins, I guess.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, ~4:10<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Lions @ Arizona(-2)<\/em><br \/>\nThe Lions have been really up and down and they scare me. However, the Cardinals are just plain bad, and I can\u2019t believe they\u2019re favored. Take the points.<\/p>\n<p>Seahawks @ San Francisco(+4.5)<br \/>\nHmm, 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\u2019s not really saying much. Seattle.<\/p>\n<p><em>Colts @ Dallas(+1)<\/em><br \/>\nGotta pick the Colts. I don\u2019t believe in the Dallas corners. Indy probably wins by only a field goal, but they\u2019ll win, so I\u2019m picking \u2018em.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday NBC<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Chargers @ Denver(-2.5)<\/em><br \/>\nI always get burned when I pick against Denver at home, so I won\u2019t go against that tide.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MNF<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Giants @ Jacksonville(-3.5)<\/em><br \/>\nMan, the injury list for the Giants is like&#8230; half the team. Nonetheless, I\u2019m going to have trouble picking any team which loses twice to the Texans. Take the points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, sorry it\u2019s late, but I only got the computer unpacked on Thursday night, and I had other football concerns on Saturday.
