That’s right; with college ball now in Bowl Season (F’em Bucky!), we have Saturday NFL games through the end of the season and into the first 2 weeks of the playoffs. So, without further adieu, let’s get you started off right at the pay window.
New England (-4.5) @ Tampa Bay – I may not know which way the Pats are going, but I do know that the Bucs are falling, falling, falling.
Kansas City (+3) @ NY Giants – You can’t be considered a contender without a kicker.
Denver @ Buffalo (+8.5) – Just too much lumber to lay down.
San Francisco @ Jacksonville (-15.5) – Throw some salt in the splinter wounds on your Man; offer him San Francisco and 37.5 (the over/under).
San Diego @ Indianapolis (-7.5) – Stats of the week (courtesy Yahoo) – The Colts have scored in 31 consecutive quarters and haven’t trailed in the last 438 minutes, 16 seconds, dating to the third quarter of a 45-28 win over St. Louis on Oct. 17.
NY Jets @ Miami (-9) – Surely the bookies can’t be serious about only forcing me to lay the short 9 in this one.
Carolina (-9) vs New Orleans @ Baton Rouge – Have the Aints even covered in Tiger Stadium?
Seattle (-7) @ Tennessee – The Walrus wants home field in the worst way; fortunately, Tennessee qualifies as one of the worst. Take the under 45 because Tennessee will continue to not score.
Pittsburgh (-3) @ Minnesota – Duh Viqueens caught their break of the week when only 4 players (2 on injured reserve) netted a total of 12 misdemeanor charges from the Love Boat.
Arizona (-2) @ Houston – Why encourage the Texans to make money from their quest for Reggie Bush? Oh well, profit from it.
Philadelphia @ St Louis (-3.5) – This may set the record for most starters on injured reserve in the modern era (since “injured reserve” meant “out for the season”).
Cleveland (+3) @ Oakland – The coin said Raiders, but I invoked executive priviledge on this one.
Cincinnati @ Detroit (+8) – Again, too many points to give.
Dallas (+3) @ Washington – If the Tuna chokes this one, put James on suicide watch.
Atlanta @ Chicago (-3) – If the Pack can beat up the Falcons in Atlanta, surely the Bears can maul them in the cold of December. Expect the chants for Grossman to start early.
Green Bay (+3.5) @ Baltimore – Over/under on the teary-eyed Al Michaels/John Madden goodbyes to Favre – 6.5 (go over), over/under on the game – 33 (go under).
