Picks of the Week

Not a great week, but not as bad as it could have been. Getting close to being in the black for the season after a very slow start.

Houston Texans +8 at Philadelphia Eagles
Hopefully Andre Johnson has instilled a little fight into the Texans.

Jacksonville Jaguars Pick 'em at Tennessee Titans
Jaguars are this year's surprise team, and Tennessee has no idea who is playing quarterback.

New York Giants -7 v. Washington Redskins
Giants are just too strong for the Redskins, who seem to have hit their wall of maximim potential.

Minnesota Vikings -5 1/2 v. Buffalo Bills
Is it any surprise that the VIkings are better without Brad Childress? Is it any surprise that the Bills are better with Fitzpatrick.

Cleveland Browns +4 1/2 at Miami Dolphins
Peyton Hillis is having an MVP like season since he entered the starting lineup. The Dolphins are not very strong at home.

Kansas City Chiefs -9 v. Denver Broncos
The Chiefs have already annihilated Denver once, and I think the situation with McDaniels has gotten worse since the last time.

Green Bay Packers -9 1/2 v. San Francisco 49ers
Green Bay is not Arizona, much to the 49ers chagrin.

Chicago Bears -3 1/2 at Detroit Lions
Chicago has come a long way from the first game with the Lions. This game will not come down to a Calvin Johnson "dropped" touchdown.

Oakland Raiders +12 1/2 at San Diego Chargers
San Diego should still win, but I don't think it'll be this much of a blowout. Unlike the Colts, the Raiders can run, and (somewhat) pass.

Carolina Panthers +6 at Seattle Seahawks
You couldn't pay me to watch this game.

Dallas Cowboys +5 at Indianapolis Colts
The Colts were exposed last week. The Cowboys are resurgent under Garrett.

Atlanta Falcons -3 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Once again, the Bucs return to normal against one of the best teams in the league.

St. Louis Rams -3 at Arizona Cardinals
This Sam Bradford guy could turn out to be good.

Baltimore Ravens -3 v. Pittsburgh Steelers
Should be a knock-down, drag-out fight for AFC North supremacy.

New York Jets +3 at New England Patriots
The Patriots are having a great season, but I don't think they can take the Jets at this point in the season.

BIG BET OF THE WEEK
New Orleans Saints -6 1/2 at Cincinnati Bengals
Only 6 1/2?
