Spiral Notes

By Jeremy Brunner

Last week: 4-10(29%)

Against-the-spread: 5-9(36%)

Season total: 36-26(58%)

Season ATS: 27-29(48%)

Lock-of-the-Week: 3-1-1(68%)

That was the worst week of all time. I don't know why I was surprised, with so many home dogs. How embarrasing. Lets move on to this week and my next ridiculous failure. On the bright side, the lock of the week hit for the third straight time, so maybe it was returned to 2005 form.

Atlanta(1-3) at Tennessee(2-1)

The Falcons are improving, and should be a tough win in the ATL for the rest of the season. But I love these Titans. Vince Young appears poised to be the first to break up the Madden-Jinx. Although I may have just ruined his year by adding the Spiral Notes jinx on top of that. Screw it: Its my take-it-to-Wendover-lock-of-the-week: Titans(-8.5) 37, Falcons 12

Arizona(2-2) at St. Louis(0-4)

It looks like Kurt Warner has re-upped on that deal with the devil. Warner had his three years of greatness, and has been awful ever since. But now he is back in 2000 form. Look out. Strangely, his coach is still starting Leinart, and bringing Warner off the bench. Picking the Rams as my pre-season Super Bowl champs doesn't look so hot now. Upset Special #1: Rams 33, Cards 32

Carolina(2-2) at New Orleans(0-3)

What team is falling apart faster? My money is on the Saints. And never doubt an addicted gambler. Well, except when it comes to gambling. Upset Special #2: Panthers 17, Saints 16

Seattle(3-1) at Pittsburgh(3-1)

This feels familiar. Didn't these teams play in the Super Bowl or something? Didn't the Steelers win by 11? In that case: Steelers 38, Hawks 27 

Miami(0-4) at Houston(2-2)

I feel for Dana Greene, the world's biggest Dolphin fan. His team sucks, and Dan Marino has been wiped from the record books. But remember, the Packers started last season 0-and-4, finished 8-8, and now they're headed for the Super Bowl(maybe?). So it can be done. Just not by Cam Cleeland, whoever that is. Texans 20, Phins 7

Jacksonville(2-1) at Kansas City(2-2)

This is one of those games that could go either way. The only thing that won't happen is a burst of interesting-ness. Jags 30, Chefs 25

Cleveland(2-2) at New England(4-0)

The first of 12 straight 'trap' games for the Patriots, who are apparently going to go undefeated. They look sharper than a tack now, but all it takes is one bad week and those 72 Dolphin dorks are happy again. What losers those guys are. Pats 41, Browns 19

NY Jets(1-3) at NY Giants(2-2)

So this counts as a road game for the Jets, even though they get to dress in their own locker room? I guess it doesn't really matter. Giants 37, Jets 25

Detroit(3-1) at Washington(2-1)

Jon Kitna for MVP? I'm not climbing on that bandwagon just yet. Washington 33, Loins 28

San Diego(1-3) at Denver(2-2)

Is it possible for the Chargers to resign Marty Schottenheimer after they lose Sunday? Can that happen? Broncs 34, Bolts 20

Tampa Bay(3-1) at Indianapolis(4-0)

The Buccs are a spunky team, exactly the kind of team that could come out of the NFC. Look, I know the Cowboys and Packers are good, I'm just not sure they've caught up with the AFC. At all. Take for example, this game: Colts 22, Buccs 10

Baltimore(2-2) at San Francisco(2-2)

Here are two struggling 2-2 teams. Will the Niners be better with Trent Dilfer than they were under Alex Smith? How about the Ravens? What happened to that world class defense? Ravens 27, Niners 23

Chicago(1-3) at Green Bay(4-0)

If the Pack went up four games on Da' Bears just a week into October, that would be nice. Nothing against Chicago. My favorite city is home to my most-hated(non-Dallas) team. Pack 28, Bears 12

Dallas(4-0) at Buffalo(1-3)

The Bills have finally solved some of their problems, they'll be a tough win the rest of the year in Buffalo. Yes, even for America's Team(what a joke). Cowboys 18, Bills 13
