Halfway home, and I’m 8 games above .500 at a money-making 61-53-2. As always, I’m using the Yahoo line, and if you lose money on these picks, you get next week’s free as well –
Cincinnati @ Baltimore (+3) – To steal Jimmy “Masterlock” Duggans’ favorite line, You may like the points, you may want the points, and by law in Nevada, Barbados, the Caymans, and other off-shore gambling havens, you will get the points, but you’re not gonna need them.” The BenGALS got all they could handle against the worst team in the NFL, while Baltimore actually had the lead on the road against one of the elite in the 4th quarter.
Atlanta (-2.5) @ Miami – So what if Vick sucks; Miami sucks worse.
Detroit (+1) @ Minnesota – Game of the Weak, Part I – Minnesota has no business being favored.
San Diego (-6.5) @ NY Jets – You know the drill by now.
Carolina (-1.5) @ Tampa Bay – You just don’t bounce back from being embarrassed by the Whiners.
Tennessee (+3) @ Cleveland – Game of the Weak, Part II – play for the tie and go under the 39.
Houston @ Jacksonville (-13.5) – Normally, I wouldn’t lay the lumber in this situation. However, Houston got their one win for the year, and the Jags are overdue with their can of whoop-ass.
Oakland @ Kansas City (-4) – This game is just screaming out for some cracktion.
Chicago (-3) vs New Orleans @ Baton Rouge – Duh Bears cement their hold on the division this week.
Seattle (-4) @ Arizona – Freely give the short 4. The Seahags won’t miss them.
NY Giants (-11) @ San Francisco – What? Am I nuts giving 11 on the road? Not when the Whiners give up an average of 31.7 points a game, and that was with a game against the hapless Bucs.
Pittsburgh (-4) @ Green Bay – Can we fire them now?
Philadelphia (+3) @ Washington – David Akers is back, so the Eaglets only have to get to the Deadskins’ 35 to score.
Indianapolis @ New England (+3.5) – Ignore the records, ignore the injuries. This game is in Peyton’s personal House of Pain.
