Not too much detail today, but a few comments here and there. First, an overall comment: Literally every home team is favored. Many are favored by 2.5… meaning Vegas doesn\u2019t know, either. Home field isn\u2019t really that big, is it?<\/p>\n

\nBills @ Kansas City(-7)<\/em>
\nOK, well, home field in KC probably is huge… and the Bills still stink. Chefs.<\/p>\n
\nThe Cowboys always get favorable spreads because people like them, but they shouldn\u2019t be favored over anyone with Jon Kitna starting!<\/p>\n
\nGotta like the Rams at home against an offense that might do nothing.<\/p>\n
\nMiami is better than their record. Cinci isn\u2019t. I like getting a point here.<\/p>\n
\nAt first I couldn\u2019t believe this spread… and then I saw McNabb probably won\u2019t play. Yeah, OK, I\u2019ll take the Lions.<\/p>\n
\nAlex Smith is out… which maybe means that they\u2019ll actually be even better. Broncos are in a tailspin. Give the points.<\/p>\n
\nOK, here\u2019s one I really don\u2019t get. Titans are 5-2 against the spread, Chargers are 2-5… and the Titans are \u2018dogs here? OK, I\u2019ll take the points.<\/p>\n
\nGreen Bay is a M.A.S.H. unit. Jets cover.<\/p>\n
\nBuccaneers @ Arizona(-3)<\/em>
\nAgain, seems like the wrong team is favored. I\u2019ll happily take these gift points.<\/p>\n
\nSo, my brother, who is a Pats fan, was asking people who Pats fans would rather see, Favre or Jackson? He said the best answer he got before mine was \u201cTarvaris is probably worth a fumble and a pick, and Favre is probably worth two picks.\u201d So it\u2019s a wash, right? My answer: \u201cJackson, so that way the game announcers might actually talk about the game instead of slupring Favre for three hours.\u201d New England.<\/p>\n
\nNo idea. Seattle?<\/p>\n
\nSteelers @ New Orleans(-1)<\/em>
\nThe Saints still aren\u2019t right, but Pittsburgh is playing really well. I\u2019ll happily take the underdog Steelers.<\/p>\n
\nTexans @ Colts(-5.5)
\nHouston can\u2019t stop the pass, but Dallas Clark is out, Addai is out, Collie is probably out, Garcon and Wayne and Gonzalez are nicked up but will play, and the Colts are still favored by almost a TD. Why? The Texans can\u2019t stop the pass, with Ryans out for the season they won\u2019t be able to stop the run. The Colts defense probably can\u2019t stop the Texans all that well, either, with Johnson healthy again (finally). If the Colts were fully healthy, I would easily give this. Right now I\u2019m not so sure. Can the Texans really sweep the Colts? Nah… I\u2019ll give the points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
