I\u2019ll give the field goal.<\/p>\n<p><em>Patriots @ Miami(+16.5)<\/em><br \/>\nYeah, sure, why not? The Pats second team could probably cover this.<\/p>\n<p><em>Niners @ New Jersey Giants Stadium(-9)<\/em><br \/>\nA team on the way down vs. a team on the way up. I like the Giants to cover this.<\/p>\n<p><em>Bucs @ Detroit(-2)<\/em><br \/>\nErr, no, I really don\u2019t see how the Lions are favored here. I\u2019ll gladly take the points.<\/p>\n<p><em>Titans @ Houston(+1)<\/em><br \/>\nI\u2019m going to keep picking against the Texans until they have Andre Johnson. I guess he\u2019s listed as \u201cdoubtful.\u201d We\u2019ll see. I think if Young plays, the Titans win for sure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, 4:10\u00b15<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Chefs @ Oakland(-3)<\/em><br \/>\nKC is resurgent!

Two awful teams. I guess the Seabags are somewhat less awful. Are they eight and a half points less awful? Well, if the Seattle team which showed up last week against the Saints shows up again, no way. I think the better Seattle team shows up and they cover.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday NBC<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Steelers @ Denver(+3.5)<\/em><br \/>\nThe Broncos are in a death spiral.
