Saturday NFLN<\/strong>
\nCowboys @ Atlanta(+3)<\/em>
\nI don\u2019t see Vick winning this all by himself, and the guys who run the ball are too nicked up.<\/p>\n

Sunday 1:00<\/strong>
\nBucs @ Chicago(-13.5)<\/em>
\nThat\u2019s a lot of points for the Bears inept offense to cover, but then, the Bucs might not cross midfield. Wait, wait, Rex looked good last week, so he\u2019ll suck this week. They\u2019ll still win, but they won\u2019t cover this.<\/p>\n

Steelers @ Carolina, no line<\/em>
\nYeah, if I were the bookies I\u2019d stay away from a line on this game, too. What\u2019s up with the Panthers? I guess the Steelers have looked kind of better lately, and the Panthers… I have no idea. I guess I\u2019ll take Pittsburgh here, but that\u2019s a coin flip.<\/p>\n

Lions @ Green Bay(-5)<\/em>
\nAllow me to quote myself from Week 7: \u201cDetroit on the road? No thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Browns @ Baltimore(-11)<\/em>
\nThe schitzo Cleveland team bothers me. They could beat this spread, but it could just as easily be 34-0 Ravens. I hate giving that many points, but I think this time I have to.<\/p>\n

Jaguars @ Tennessee(+3.5)<\/em>
\nVince Young is just too hot to pick against right now, and I get points, which I think I\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n

Jest @ Minnesota(-3)<\/em>
\nI fear the thought of the Vikings backing into the playoffs given their weak competition down the stretch. Come on, Jets, you even get points!<\/p>\n

Texans @ New England(-11.5)<\/em>
\nThe Patriots will play down to the level of competition. They\u2019ll win, but that\u2019s too many.<\/p>\n

Redskins @ New Orleans(-9.5)<\/em>
\nI see no reason to think that the Saints won\u2019t be able to run it up on the Skins like they did on the Cowboys.<\/p>\n

Dolphins @ Buffalo(-1)<\/em>
\nSince Culpepper was benched, the Dolphins have been great. Jason Taylor is a wrecking crew this year, I don\u2019t see the Bills with an answer to him, Miami wins.<\/p>\n

Sunday ~4:10<\/strong>
\nBroncos @ Arizona(+2.5)<\/em>
\nCutler has to win one eventually, right? Methinks Arizona is a good place for that to happen, so I\u2019ll go with Denver here.<\/p>\n

Rams @ Oakland(-2.5)<\/em>
\nHow the mighty have fallen. If I\u2019m the Rams GM, the team is playing for the coaching staffs\u2019 jobs right now. And the Raiders… well, at least their defense is decent. Freaky, I\u2019m actually picking the Raiders.<\/p>\n

Eagles @ New Jersey Giants(-5.5)<\/em>
\nWell, those are enticing points, I was expecting the spread to be more like three. Yes, OK, I\u2019ll take the points.<\/p>\n

Sunday NBC<\/strong>
\nChefs @ San Diego(-8.5)<\/em>
\nI have little doubt that the Chargers will win, but they\u2019ve not done well against large spreads this year; most of their big blowouts have been when they had small spreads. I think I\u2019ll foolishly take the points.<\/p>\n

MNF<\/strong>
\nBengals @ Indianapolis(-3)<\/em>
\nWhee, the big game of the week. And I have Rudi Johnson on my (admittedly hapless) fantasy team. I love getting these points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
