Well, we had some real movement in the scores last week since I went a killer 9-5 and Al went a somewhat subpar 5-9, meaning, at long last, I\u2019m in the lead! I\u2019m 64-62-4 for the season and Al is 61-65-4, so not only am I in the lead, I\u2019m over .500. Sweet.<\/p>\n
OK, so Al and I did the Thursday game via AIM, and both of us picked the Broncos to cover, which they did. Good game, as long as you could ignore the fact neither team could tackle anyone. <\/p>\n

\nSaints @ Atlanta(-1)<\/em>
\nThis is the toughest game on the board. I\u2019m pretty sure I have a good sense of how good the Falcons are, a tick above average; can\u2019t beat the actually good teams, but better than the mediocre teams. The problem here is the Saints. They have weeks where they look like a good team, and weeks where they\u2019re awful. I think I have to pick consistency, so I\u2019ll go with Atlanta.<\/p>\n
\nThere are pundits out there saying the Bears are the team that could beat them… Hunh? With Rex at QB? No way, I\u2019m giving the points.<\/p>\n
\nSomething is very wrong with both of these teams, but the Lions are even more awful. Jax.<\/p>\n
\nI can see no reason to take Seattle on the road this season. Fish.<\/p>\n
\nThe Vikings are the trendy pick here, but never underestimate the power of the Vikings\u2019 ability to blow games they need to win. I\u2019m taking the points here.<\/p>\n
\nWell, the shine certainly has worn off the Bills. They need this game badly… and they won\u2019t get it. Pats cover.<\/p>\n
\nI can\u2019t see the Jets losing this game, but that\u2019s a lot of points. I\u2019ll take \u2018em.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m looking forward to being in the stands for this one. With Sage at the helm for the Texans, though, I don\u2019t see them winning it, so I\u2019m going with Baltimore here.<\/p>\n
\nPanthers @ Oakland(+9.5)<\/em>
\nThe Raiders are horrific, I\u2019m giving the points.<\/p>\n
\nOK, so I have a question for the Vikings, Chiefs, Lions, Bears, and Niners: WTF were you thinking, not signing Byron Leftwich? Why is Leftwich a backup? In a league where Gus Frerotte is a starter, how is it possible that Leftwich is not starting? All right, end of rant. The spread is off for this game, I assume because the status of Big Ben and Willie Parker are uncertain. The Colts do seem to be putting it together, but they always look horrible against the Steelers and the off spread means I don\u2019t have to give any points.<\/p>\n
\nHoly crap, that\u2019s a lot of points\u2014but then it is KC on the road. No, that\u2019s still too many; I see KC losing by 14, not 17, so I\u2019m going to take the points and hope the Bolts lay off the gas pedal and allow the Chefs a garbage-time TD to let them cover.<\/p>\n
\nGiants @ Philadelphia(-3)<\/em>
\nHunh? How are the Eagles favored? The Giants are, despite not having the gaudy undefeated record of the Titans, the best team in football this year. They should be getting points from nobody, even in the opposition\u2019s building. Giants and the points.<\/p>\n
\nNiners @ Arizona(-9.5)<\/em>
\nI sense \u201cdeath spiral\u201d from San Fran, and I like the way the Cards\u2019 offense is playing, so I\u2019m going to give the points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
