Don’t forget; the window is always open right up until game-time. One of these days, I’ll figure out just how bad the last 3 weeks were for me (I’d like to see you do better, Dad29 :-) , but for now, let’s look forward. As always, the line comes from Yahoo, and even though I actually will be putting money on most of these picks (my sister’s headed out to Vegas tomorrow), they’re for entertainment purposes only (there, that should keep the revenuers off my back for another week).
Atlanta @ Detroit (+3) – It’s Thanksgiving, so that’s worth 4 points for the Lions. How could the bookies forget that? Oh well, make sure you run to the window to take advantage; you have about 45 minutes to do so and have a turduckhen on your Man.
Denver @ Dallas (+2.5) – No Lett, no snow, no problem.
St. Louis @ Houston (+4) – Career backup Jamie Martin has his 2 wins.
New England @ Kansas City (-3) – Too many injuries to overcome to continue their win streak.
Cleveland @ Minnesota (-4.5) – I don’t want to take Duh Viqueens, but Duh NewBrowns are in complete disarray, and the game is in the Rollerdome.
Carolina (-4) @ Buffalo – Worst red-zone defense, meet a pissed-off 2nd-best red-zone offense. Pissed-off 2nd-best red-zone offense, meet the Bills end-zone.
Tampa Bay @ Chicago (-3) – The Bears defense will outscore the Bucs to ensure that the NFC North will not have a loser for a champ.
Baltimore @ Cincinnati (-9) – Who would’ve thunk that the BenGALS would be 7-3, or that the OldBrowns defense would be so torched?
San Diego (-3) @ Washington – Take the over 43.5 as yet another former Redskins coach beats up the Deadskins. This time, that coach has an offense.
San Francisco @ Tennessee (-7.5) – Dorsey, Smith; it doesn’t matter.
Miami @ Oakland (-7) – Stick the fork in the Dullfins; they’re done.
Jacksonville (-3) @ Arizona – If you’re wondering why I’ mainly sticking with the favorites, it’s because the bookies usually have a good grasp of what’s what this late in the season.
Green Bay @ Philadelphia (-4.5) – If Ron Wolf says the Pack is done, believe it. This is the game of the weak.
NY Giants (+4.5) @ Seattle – This great game, which on any other week would be The Game of the Week, will not be seen in Milwaukee, Green Bay, or Philadelphia. We’ll be missing a barnburner.
New Orleans @ NY Jets (+1.5) – Jimmy Hoffa says you won’t need them points. ESPN is wondering what it did so wrong to get this game of the weak, part deux.
Pittsburgh (+7.5) @ Indianapolis – Over/under on the Al Michaels gambling references-4. Take the over on that, take the under 47 for the point total, and end the week rolling in dough while enjoying the game of the year.
