The byes are starting this weekend, and the man can’t be happier because there’s 2 less games for him to give up money on. Let’s strive for a 14-0 blowout special to put the “d” in his depression. As always, the lines are fresh from bodog.com, and if you’re betting illegally, I never heard of you.
Green Bay (+7) @ Detroit – I know what I just said, but since everybody is taking last week’s advice, you need to switch it up to make money this week.
Chicago (-4.5) @ Minnesota – Grossman’s good for a few more weeks, then the Bears become a 1-dimensional team.
NY Jets @ Buffalo (-6) – And the New York Media goes apoplectic.
Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh (pick’em) – Damn, but this is a tough one. The coin said, “Stillers”.
Jacksonville @ Indianapolis (-7) – The Jags are real, but this is the very definition of a letdown game.
Tennessee @ Miami (-11) – The chant in Tennessee – “We want Vince Young”. Bad news for them; the coach doesn’t think he’s ready.
Washington (-4.5) @ Houston – Texans fans are wishing they had Vince Yooung (or Reggie Bush or Matt Leinart, or anybody that can help out on offense).
Carolina (-3.5) @ Tampa Bay – Who saw this being a Toilet Bowl-quality game at the beginning of the month? You liar! Take the under-34 for some extra teeth-smashing.
Baltimore (-7.5) @ Cleveland – Once again, the OldBrowns will get their revenge on the NFL.
St. Louis @ Arizona (-4.5) – Anyone think that Kurt Warner isn’t up for this game?
NY Giants (+3.5) @ Seattle – The Seahags finally run into a real team. Take the over-42.5.
Philadelphia (-6.5) @ San Francisco – The fairy tale is over.
Denver @ New England (-7) – The real Snake has slithered up, and it ain’t pretty in the mountains.
Atlanta @ New Orleans (+4) – The Dirty Birds are a 1-dimensional team, and the Saints are built to flatten that dimension. Throw in the emotion factor, and this dog’s bite will be worse than its loud bark.
