Spiral Notes

By Jeremy Brunner

Last week: 10-4(71%)

Against-the-spread: 6-6(50%)

Season total: 66-37(64%)

Season ATS: 47-46(50%)

Lock-of-the-Week: 3-4-1(44%)

Aargh. No matter how many nice upsets I pick, I never seem to get the right ones. In honor of the Colorado Rockies and their feeble chances in the world series, I'm picking more upsets than ever. And what's the deal with Red Sox fans? Didn't they used to be the lovable losers, not the taunting bandwagon frontrunners. Lame-city.

Detroit(4-2) at Chicago(3-4)

The Bears are back. And as the fan of a fellow NFC North team, I am frightened. Bears 17, Loins 10

Oakland(2-4) at Tennessee(4-2)

These Titans are just grinders. They just find a way to win, even when they don't deserve it. Titans 24, Raiders 9

NY Giants(5-2) vs. Miami(0-7)

Why is the NFL playing regular season games in London? Just wondering. And if we are trying to sell the game overseas, why are we sending the Dolphins? Giants 38, Phins 27

Indianapolis(6-0) at Carolina(4-2)

The Colts are in serious danger of a letdown game on the road, the week before the biggest regular-season game of all time. Upset Special #1: Panthers 35, Colts 34

Pittsburgh(4-2) at Cincinnati(2-4)

Pittsburgh got exposed last week, and they may struggle for a while in the face of eight men in the box on every play. But the Bengals are already planning future arrests for January. Steelers 10, Bengals 7

Cleveland(3-3) at St. Louis(0-7)

It's official. I give up on the Rams. Browns 16, Rams 14

Philadelphia(2-4) at Minnesota(2-4)

Not sure how the Eagles blew that game versus the Bears. But here they'll do it again. Upset Special #2: Vikes 16, Eagles 15

Houston(3-4) at San Diego(3-3)

The Texans blew up for a 27 point fourth quarter last week, yet still lost. Not good. Its my take-it-to-Wendover-lock-of-the-week: Bolts(-10) 37, Texans 14

Washington(4-2) at New England(7-0)

I predict the Patriots will lose sometime this season. Just not this week. Pats 45, Washington 18

Buffalo(2-4) at NY Jets(1-6)

The toilet bowl. Maybe we should have sent this game to London. Jets 10, Bills 3

Jacksonville(4-2) at Tampa Bay(4-3)

Its a close call, but I think the Jags are too good to lose two games in a row. Especially to a team(any team) from the NFC. Upset Special #3: Jags 20, Buccs 18

New Orleans(2-4) at San Francisco(2-4)

Another London Special. Saints 31, Niners 28

Green Bay(5-1) at Denver(3-3)

Ouch. Do I really have to pick against my team? Well they are playing a Denver club, in prime time for the second week in a row, in a sports city re-energized by its first World Series trip. So, yeah. Broncs 31, Pack 21
