Bank on these, as the drive to profitability continues:
Green Bay (-9) @ Chicago – Yeah, I know, they won round one. Favre kicks ass in Chi-Town, however, and this game means something for the Pack.
Kansas City (+5) @ Detroit – 6-2 to a losing record; priceless.
Washington @ Minnesota (-6.5) – The Vikes are only starting to run out of steam. The Skins are already there.
Pittsburgh @ St. Louis (+8) – Everything says to take the Steelers except their record against suck-ass teams.
Dallas (-11) @ Carolina – Now that TO has banished Romo’s worse half, the ‘Boys late-season fade will take a 1-week hiatus
Cleveland (-3) @ Cincinnati – The battle for Ohio is over.
Houston @ Indianapolis (-7) – Stat of the week; Indy has won all five home meetings by at least 9 points. Take the over-45.
NY Giants @ Buffalo (+3) – PaulNoonan nailed it
Oakland @ Jacksonville (-14) – Math lesson: Win-and-in + Pro Bowl snub + weak opponent coming off their Super Bowl = blow-out
Philadelphia @ New Orleans (-3.5) – Rule of thumb; go with teams that have something to play for.
Atlanta @ Arizona (-10.5) – How bad does Arizona suck? They lost out to a 1-win team. Take the under-44.
Tampa Bay (-6) @ San Francisco – Viva Garcia!
Miami @ New England (-22) – Lightning will not strike twice.
Baltimore @ Seattle (-10 – line from MGM Mirage) – Rookie QBs and knockout defenses do not mix well.
NY Jets @ Tennessee (-8.5) – Standard rules regarding the Jets apply.
Denver @ San Diego (-9) – It will be a Bolt Christmas.
