Sunday 1:00<\/strong>
\nChargers @ St. Louis (+9)<\/em>
\nThat\u2019s a lot of points. The Rams seem a lot better at home, and the Chargers really haven\u2019t shown any consistency this year. I\u2019ll take the points.<\/p>\n

Ravens @ New England (-2.5)<\/em>
\nI hate spreads like this, because I think Baltimore is clearly the better team… so why is New England favored? I don\u2019t get it, and it makes me suspicious that people in Vegas know something I don\u2019t. Ah, screw it, I\u2019m taking the Ravens.<\/p>\n

Falcons @ Philadelphia (-2)<\/em>
\nMan, I hate this one, too. Second game in a row where I think the wrong team is favored. I have no faith in Kolb, so I\u2019ll take the points again.<\/p>\n

Browns @ Pittsburgh (-14)<\/em>
\nColt McCoy vs. the most QB-aggressive defense in the league, plus the Steelers will be looking to prove that Big Ben is healthy, and finally, the Steelers hate the Browns. I\u2019d give 20 easily here.<\/p>\n

Saints @ Tampa Bay (+4.5)<\/em>
\nThere is something deeply wrong with the Saints this season. They might win this game, but if they do it\u2019ll be by a couple points at best. They\u2019re reeling, and the Bucs have something going this year, somehow. I\u2019m taking the points!<\/p>\n

Seabags @ Chicago (-6.5)<\/em>
\nSeattle is not good. On the road, they\u2019re really awful. Bears.<\/p>\n

Lions @ New Jersey Giants (-19)<\/em>
\nHoly crap that\u2019s a big number. That\u2019s a college football number there; this should be the spread for the Steelers game. I know that the Lions are terrible and the Giants have been on fire lately, but 19? My natural inclination is to just not give that big a number, but again, this suggests Vegas knows something, and I\u2019ve gone against that too many times already. I will <gulp> give the 19. Yow.<\/p>\n

Dolphins @ Green Bay (-3)<\/em>
\nI have to pick a slight favorite sometime, right? They say Rodgers is supposed to play, so they should be OK, right?<\/p>\n

Chiefs @ Houston (-4.5)<\/em>
\nThe Texans started out on fire, but they\u2019ve played like ass the last three games, even though they didn\u2019t lose them all. (Quality play is not necessary to beat the Raiders, unsurprisingly.) Also, Andr\u00e9 Johnson is still not 100% and the Chefs have been playing inspired defense. I\u2019ll take the points, again. I will, however, be at the game and actively cheering against my own pick!<\/p>\n

Raiders @ San Francisco (-7)<\/em>
\nExactly how many games have the Niners won, much less won by a full TD? This is again one of those spreads that makes me worry that I don\u2019t know something I\u2019m supposed to. Again, against my better judgment, I\u2019ll take the points.<\/p>\n

Sunday ~4:10<\/strong>
\nJets @ Denver (+3.5)<\/em>
\nRex\u2019s boys are just plain better, and should win this handily. <\/p>\n

Cowboys @ Minnesota (-1.5)<\/em>
\nDespite what happened in the playoffs last year, this is the kind of game the Dallas franchise wins and the Vikings always lose. Again, I\u2019ll take the points.<\/p>\n

SNF<\/strong>
\nColts @ Washington (+3)<\/em>
\nWhile I will most definitely be rooting for the Skins, I\u2019m picking the Colts. I just don\u2019t see the Colts as a .500 team, and the way to beat the Colts is to run the ball, and the Skins aren\u2019t really a running team, particularly without Portis.<\/p>\n

MNF<\/strong>
\nTitans @ Jacksonville (+3)<\/em>
\nNot only are both teams 3-2, but they\u2019re both 3-2 against the spread. I haven\u2019t seen much of either team, but my sense is that the Titans are better, if only a little. Just for a change of pace, I\u2019ll give the points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
