We were both 8-6 this week. I am 40-35 & John is 39-36.
Picks this week:
1.) CINCINNATI AT HOME (-4.5) OVER HOUSTON
Houston is explosive, but the Bengals defense is one of the best at this point.
I'LL TAKE THE BENGALS
2.) GREEN BAY (-11) AT HOME OVER DETROIT
The Packers are coming off a bye, but the Lions are playing confidently.
I'll take the LIONS to cover
3.) JACKSONVILLE AT HOME (-10) OVER ST. LOUIS
JAGS
4.) MINNESOTA AT HOME (-3) OVER BALTIMORE
Baltimore's defense is not as vaunted as it used to be and I'm not confidfent their offense can make up the difference
I'll take the VIKINGS
5.) NEW ORLEANS AT HOME (-3) OVER NEW YORK GIANTS
The Saints are coming off a bye week. The Giants offense is ideally suited for handling the Saints. Ball control & clock management will keep Brees & Co. on the sidelines.
I'll take the GIANTS
6.) PITTSBURG AT HOME (-13.5) OVER CLEVELAND
Can Eric Mangini deflate the Browns enough that they will roll over for this historic rivalry? The Steelers are hurting.
I'll take the BROWNS to cover.
7.) CAROLINA (-3) OVER TAMPA BAY
PANTHERS
8.) WASHINGTON AT HOME (-6) OVER KANSAS CITY
The Redskins don't cover against anyone
I'll take the Chiefs to cover
9.) Philadelphia (-14) at Oakland
EAGLES
10.) Seattle at home (-3) over Arizona
SEAHAWKS
11.) NEW ENGLAND AT HOME (-9.5) OVER TENNESSEE
PATRIOTS
12.) NEW YORK JETS AT HOME (-9.5) OVER BUFFALO
jets
13.) ATLANTA AT HOME (-3) OVER CHICAGO
falcons
14.) SAN DIEGO AT HOME (-3.5) OVER DENVER
THE CHARGERS ARE COMING OFF A BYE WEEK, BUT 3.5 IS TOO MUCH IN A DIVISION GAME ON NATIONAL TELEVISION.
I'll take the BRONCOS
