On the road, I think so.<\/p>\n<p><em>Titans @ Houston(-6)<\/em><br \/>\nPlease, the Texans shouldn\u2019t be giving six to anybody right now.<\/p>\n<p><em>Jaguars @ New Jersey Giants(-7)<\/em><br \/>\nSeems like too many points to me, as the Jags have been game of late.<\/p>\n<p><em>Packers @ Atlanta(-2)<\/em><br \/>\nThe spread seems about right. I won\u2019t bet against the Falcons at home, but the Packers will probably keep it close. I like the Falcons here because they can actually run the ball&#8211;that\u2019ll be the difference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday ~4:10<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Chiefs @ Seattle(+2.5)<\/em><br \/>\nKC is not a very good road team. Seattle is traditionally a good home team. I think the Chiefs are a better team overall, but they can\u2019t play all their games at Arrowhead, so I\u2019m taking the points.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dolphins @ Oakland(-2.5)<\/em><br \/>\nThigpen still, right? Raiders.<\/p>\n<p><em>Buccaneers @ Baltimore(-7.5)<\/em><br \/>\nHey now, Tampa\u2019s actually been good! Not sure how, but they have, and I think that\u2019s too many points.<\/p>\n<p><em>Eagles @ Chicago(+3.5)<\/em><br \/>\nThe Bears, on the other hand, are not as good as their record. Philly will set that right; give the points.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rams @ Denver(-3.5)<\/em><br \/>\nThe Broncos seem to be crashing, despite the big number they put up on KC. i like the Rams defense to keep this one manageable and maybe even pull off the win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SNF<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Chargers @ Indianapolis(-3)<\/em><br \/>\nThis is the game of the week, I think, Bolts vs. Colts. I hate picking against the Colts at home, and I hate picking against the Chargers in the second half of the season. And have you looked at the injury reports for these two teams? Yikes! While I\u2019ll be rooting for the Chargers, I have to think the Colts at home just have a little bit too much vs. a very depleted Chargers squad. <\/p>\n<p><strong>MNF<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Niners @ Arizona(+1)<\/em><br \/>\nI cannot pick a team with no quarterback, so that means&#8230; oh, yeah, that\u2019s a problem here, isn\u2019t it? Hmm. Well, the Cardinals are completely horrible, and the Niners only kind of suck, so I\u2019ll take SF here, I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bleah, sick as a dog&#8230; Sunday 1:00 Vikings @ Washington(+1.5) Wrong team favored, take the Redskins all the way.
