Last Week: 7-6 (I forgot the Giants/Seahawks game-no way I would have picked the Seahawks starting a backup QB, so I’m giving myself the W…deal with it)
Season: 60-70
Baltimore @ Atlanta (-1): Low scoring game, I’m taking the home team. Atlanta.
Detroit @ Buffalo (-3): This should be a high scoring game. Neither team can really stop anyone, I expect the passing games to flourish. I’m sticking with what’s brought me. Detroit.
Minnesota (-1) @ Chicago: I have no faith in Da Bears or their ability to protect the QB. Minnesota looks like they might be back on track after winning in OT last week. Minnesota.
NY Jets (-3) @ Cleveland: Doubt them all you want, but people in northeast Ohio finally have something to be happy about. Cleveland.
Cincinnati @ Indianapolis (-7): Who here doubts that the Bengals won’t shoot themselves in the foot? I don’t see any hands raised. Indianapolis.
Houston @ Jacksonville (-1 ½): This game will come down to who has the ball last. Since I think they might be hungrier, and coming off a bye, I take the home team. Jacksonville.
Tennessee (-2) @ Miami: This game will be decided by the ‘Moss Factor’. Randy Moss averages over 100 yards and a TD each time he puts on a new uniform. Miami is in trouble, switching from Chad Henne to Chad Pennington at QB. Tennessee.
Carolina @ Tampa Bay (-7): Part of me thinks this line might be too high, but part of me wants to believe in Bucs coach Raheem Morris that this could be the best team in the NFC. Carolina is like a bridge to nowhere, expensive but you aren’t exactly sure of its purpose. Tampa Bay.
Kansas City (-1) @ Denver: Well, I just drove HDN to go pick up a vehicle so he can stop bugging everyone for a ride. I’m happy for him, really happy that I don’t have to listen to him talk about women for awhile (seriously, it’s creepy), but I did just listen to the radio-people around here hate this Broncos team. They might show up just to boo. Kansas City.
Seattle @ Arizona (-3): Both teams play way better at home than they do on the road. Arizona.
Dallas @ NY Giants (-13 ½): Not sure if this line is high enough. I could care less if ‘Fire Marshall Bill’ (Cowboys owner Jerry Jones) finally did the decent thing and fire his patsy coach Wade Phillips. Wade deserved better. Like, better groceries. Never heard the Bill Parcells analogy, ‘if I’m going to cook the meal I want to buy the groceries, too’. One of my favorites, ever. Dallas laid down this past Sunday night @ Green Bay, and I don’t see anything getting better. The G-Men won’t be allowed to look at this as a trap game, it’s a divisional game, and coach Tom Coughlin will be more than happy to put another nail in the Cowboys season. The New York football Giants.
St. Louis @ San Francisco (-6): This line seems out of whack to me. Troy Smith is starting at QB for the 49ers. This will be a late afternoon game. The Rams defense has gotten better. I’m thinking I have to take the points, because San Fran hasn’t defended well all season. St. Louis.
New England @ Pittsburgh (-4 ½): Do you pick with your head or your heart? That’s the dilemma. Here’s the facts-New England plays alright on the road, historically speaking, and has done well at Heinz Field. Ben Roethlisberger is 1-3 all-time against New England. New England just got mauled in Cleveland. Pittsburgh was gifted 2 early turnovers on their way to beating Cincinnati. Pittsburgh does not cover the pass well, neither does New England. This game will come down to who makes a mistake. I think the Pats got theirs out of the way last week, and Big Ben is still capable of throwing mistakes or trying to extend a play into a sack/fumble. New England.
Philadelphia (-3) @ Washington: The Michael Vick contract express continues to roll. Philadelphia.
