\nJaguars @ Chicago(-7)<\/em>
\nJax looked unbelievably bad against the Texans\u2014I think they\u2019re just mailing it in at this point. Bears.<\/p>\n
\nAnd, speaking of mailing in the season, there\u2019s the Lions. I don\u2019t see why people think this is the game the Lions will finally win. Not only will they lose, they\u2019ll lose big… again.<\/p>\n
\nThe Texans have a little momentum now, but let\u2019s not get carried away\u2014this is a road game in the cold. Packers have no trouble covering this.<\/p>\n
\nMan, favorite city this week. This one gives me slight pause, though, as that\u2019s a bucket of points. But then, Cinci\u2019s season has kind of kicked the bucket… no, no, that\u2019s too many points, I have to take them.<\/p>\n
\nHave these people seen the Saints so-called defense? Obviously the Vegas guys know something I don\u2019t, as the wrong team is favored here. Hell yeah I\u2019m taking these points.<\/p>\n
\nThat was a fantastic display last week by the Iggles, but even with all the Plax nonsense, this is not the Cardinals defense and this is not in Philly. I say the Giants cover.<\/p>\n
\nWho, exactly, is playing QB for the Browns now? On the road? OK, so I don\u2019t think the winner of this game is in doubt. But will they cover the gaudy number? Well, seeing as how the Browns can\u2019t tackle worth a crap, yes, I think the Titans will cover the big number. <\/p>\n
\nDolphins vs. Bills @ Toronto, pick<\/em>
\nSomeone please explain to me why the Bills gave up a nice, cold-weather home game against their most hated enemy to play indoors where the cold will be nullified? This is bizarre, I\u2019m taking Miami.<\/p>\n
\nI have exactly no freaking idea what to do with Denver. When their offense clicks and their defense even kind of shows up\u2014and kind of showing up is about as good as it gets for this defense\u2014they look great. And other games they don\u2019t even seem to want to bother. Look, I know it\u2019s the Chiefs on the road, but that\u2019s just too many points for me with the wildly inconsistent Broncos.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m glad it\u2019s a small number because the Niners have looked a lot better lately. Still, if the Jets want to prove they\u2019re really playoff worthy, they have to win a game like this. I\u2019ll go with Gang Green here.<\/p>\n
\nThe Seabags are a train wreck this season, I\u2019m giving the points.<\/p>\n
\nAhh, yes, the Cardinals back home against a horrible team. What a nice way to rebound and erase the memory of last week\u2019s blowout, with a blowout of their own. Cards, and Haslett gets the boot at the end of the year.<\/p>\n
\nWarning, Will Robinson, warning! The \u201chome team -3\u201d spread means not even Vegas has any idea what\u2019s going on in this intriguing game. I, however, have simple heuristic for picking Steelers games this year. When Willie Parker plays, they cover. Clayton is reporting that he\u2019ll play in the cold and possibly light snow, which doesn\u2019t exactly favor Dallas. I\u2019m taking the Stillers here.<\/p>\n
\nRedskins @ Baltimore(-5.5)<\/em>
\nI think Washington is done. I was expecting this to be Ravens by three, however, so the number again gives me slight pause. No, forget it, Baltimore by six or seven here.<\/p>\n
\nTampa Bay @ Carolina(-3)<\/em>
\nHmm, again, Vegas has no idea, either. That\u2019s good, because I have no clue here. I guess the matchup has to favor Carolina, as the vaunted Tampa 2 isn\u2019t that great against the run, and the Panthers figure to run the ball like 40 times. I don\u2019t know, I\u2019m just making shit up here to justify picking somebody… yeah, sure, I\u2019ll go with that. Panthers, but I really have no idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
