I\u2019ll update the standings next week. Also, I goofed and we missed the Thursday game this week. Oops. Classes are now over, so I promise I\u2019ll be more on the ball with those games the rest of the season.<\/p>\n
Now, some comments on last week:<\/p>\n
* The catch by Winslow should have been ruled a catch; they were totally robbed.<\/p>\n
* The Ravens need to shut the hell up and play as hard all the freaking time as they did in the first three quarters of that game. They can whine about the officiating all they want, but the refs didn\u2019t call the timeout, the refs didn\u2019t throw that awful pick, and it wasn\u2019t the refs who failed to get the Ravens a first down in the 4th quarter. Professionals keep their cool, and the Ravens didn\u2019t. They deserved to lose that game. <\/p>\n
Anyway, on to this week…<\/p>\n

\nPanthers @ Jacksonville(-10.5)<\/em>
\nI didn\u2019t even see highlights of the Panthers last week, apparently they didn\u2019t suck. However, the Jags are about a zillion times better than the Niners. I\u2019m giving the points.<\/p>\n
\nThe Lions are in an absolute tailspin. Again, give the points.<\/p>\n
\nMiami is awful, but they\u2019ve kept it close\u2014at least, closer than the spread\u2014most of the season. I\u2019m taking the points here.<\/p>\n
\nWhen the team with the notably worse record is favored, something is wrong. Giants.<\/p>\n
\nEven with Farve a little nicked up, the Packers have had extra time and they\u2019re at home. The number is a little bigger than I\u2019d like, but I just can\u2019t see taking the Raiders here.<\/p>\n
\nOn talent, I\u2019d have to take the Bolts. On coaching, I\u2019d have to take the Titans. Tossup. I\u2019ll take the Titans just because they\u2019re at home.<\/p>\n
\nEight seems like an awful lot for a Bengals team to give\u2014they just aren\u2019t that good. I\u2019ll take St. Louis here.<\/p>\n
\nUnfortunately, the Texans have already won too many games to be in the McFadden lottery. I sure hope they get some freaking help on the O line, finally. Oh, and they\u2019ll lose this game by more than 3.<\/p>\n
\nCardinals @ Seattle(-7)<\/em>
\nIn Seattle, I have to go with the Seabags.<\/p>\n
\nAny team which can get pounded that badly by a team led by Vinny \u201cGeritol\u201d Testaverde is horrible beyond comprehension. Vikings all the way.<\/p>\n
\nYou wan the real reason the Pats had trouble the last couple weeks? They were looking ahead to this game. If this were in Pittsburgh I would not give ten, but the Steelers are a different team on the road (hello, Jets). I will once again give the points.<\/p>\n
\nCleveland was robbed last week. They\u2019ll make it up this week and will cover this.<\/p>\n
\nI think KC is starting Croyle in this game. That\u2019s enough for me to give the points.<\/p>\n
\nColts @ Baltimore(+9)<\/em>
\nThe Ravens blew their wad last week and have imploded. Colts cover this easily.<\/p>\n
\nSaints @ Falcons(+3.5)<\/em>
\nThe Saints aren\u2019t as good as I hoped, but they\u2019re still more than a FG better than the Falcons, who have obviously given up for the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
