Friday<\/strong>
\nChefs @ Miami(1.5)<\/em>
\nI have exactly no idea. I guess if it’s a coin toss, I’ll take the points. (Note: I sent this pick off to a buddy on Thursday. Really.)<\/p>\n

Sunday, 1:00<\/strong>
\nDetroit @ Cleveland(3)<\/em>
\nI’m testing out a new rule here: no NFC North teams on the road outside the division.<\/p>\n

Packers(1.5) @ Minnesota<\/em>
\nFarve is usually horrible in the BaggieDome, but is there any more of a train wreck than the Vikings right now? I’ll give the points.<\/p>\n

Colts(15.5) @ Houston<\/em>
\nWell, if the answer to the above question is “yes,” it’s the Texans. Indy rolls–Carr sacked eight or nine times, easy.<\/p>\n

Saints @ St. Louis(3)<\/em>
\nBugler is still out, right? Saints.<\/p>\n

Steelers @ Cincinnati(1)<\/em>
\nOK, so the Bengals have this flashy record, but Big Ben is back and the Bengals haven’t exactly been beating up on the league’s elite. I’ll take the Stillers.<\/p>\n

Chargers @ Philadelphia(3.5)<\/em>
\nI don’t see how the Iggles hold the ball long enough to keep LT from running all over them.<\/p>\n

Niners @ Washington(13)<\/em>
\nHmm, rookie Alex Smith on the road against a real defense. Uhh, give the points.<\/p>\n

Sunday, ~4:10<\/strong>
\nCowboys @ Seattle(4)<\/em>
\nSeabags at home. I’d be happier if the spread were 2, though, as I wouldn’t be too surprised if it was only by a field goal. Oh, wait, I think Julius Jones it out–4 should be safe.<\/p>\n

Ravens @ Chicago(1)<\/em>
\nWow, this could be the worst-quaterbacked game of the year–two horrible passers against two good defenses. I think the Bears are slightly less sad.<\/p>\n

Bills @ Oakland(3)<\/em>
\nMoss is out, the Bills lead their division, and the Raiders are favored? Whatever, I’ll gladly take those points–Bills win outright.<\/p>\n

Broncos @ New Jersey NFC(2)<\/em>
\nFascinating. I dunno, the Broncos really have looked good since that opening week debacle. I like them getting points.<\/p>\n

Titans @ Arizona(4)<\/em>
\nUhh, wow. No idea yet again. OK, I’ll make something up: I see the Titans handing off a lot and that working enough to keep it within a FG. It’s not like the Cards actually have a home field advantage. What I really want to know is: What’s the over\/under on attendance for this game, 10,000? 8,000?<\/p>\n

MNF<\/strong>
\nJest @ Atlanta(7)<\/em>
\nVick and Dunn are healthy. Is anyone on the Jets healthy? Anyone who matters? No? Falcons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
