What a week for me against the number. That can't continue. But, I'm not gonna fight city hall. I'm picking almost all the favorites to cover this week. That's wacky since the dogs have covered in more than two thirds of all games this season.
Minnesota(3-5) at Green Bay(7-1)
As a Packer fan, I now fear Adrian Peterson like I once feared Randy Moss. But, without a quarterback: Its my Take-it-to-Wendover-lock-of-the-week: Pack(-6) 30, Vikes 10
Denver(3-5) at Kansas City(4-4)
The Broncos are done. Chefs 28, Broncs 19
St. Louis(0-8) at New Orleans(4-4)
Why do I feel the need to remind you every week that the Rams were my Super Bowl pick? Saints 24, Rams 8
Philadelphia(3-5) at Washington(5-3)
Andy Reid should get a book of stamps, because his team has already mailed it in. Washington 28, Eagles 22
Jacksonville(5-3) at Tennessee(6-2)
Or the 'play for the right to get destroyed by the Patriots in the AFC Divisional Round-Bowl'. Titans 26, Jags 10
Buffalo(4-4) at Miami(0-8)
Watch out for the Bills, they could give NE a race in the AFC East. Just kidding. Will John Beck play? Please? Bills 23, Dolphins 14
Cleveland(5-3) at Pittsburgh(6-2)
This is one of those crossroads contender/pretender games for the Browns. I'm going with pretender. Steelers 34, Browns 19
Atlanta(2-6) at Carolina(4-4)
Wow. Do you go with the team with the 56-YOL quarterback, or the team with a QB headed for prison? Close call. Panthers 28, Falcons 12
Cincinnati(2-6) at Baltimore(4-4)
The Ravens are falling apart about now. Too bad the Bengals have already disassembled. Ravens 31, Bengals 26
Dallas(7-1) at NY Giants(6-2)
Its the best game of the week. I've said it before, Eli is not quite ready for prime time. Cowboys 16, Giants 10
Chicago(3-5) at Oakland(2-6)
The only game this week between two sub .500 teams. That makes it the toilet bowl. Upset Special #1: Raiders 10, Bears 6
Detroit(6-2) at Arizona(3-5)
That last one was my first upset of the week. Time for number two. Upset Special #2: Lions 12, Cards 7
Indianapolis(7-1) at San Diego(4-4)
The Chargers badly need this one to regain control of the sketchy AFC West. Not gonna happen. Colts 23, Bolts 14
San Francisco(2-6) at Seattle(4-4)
While the Seahawks are not good, they are 3-1 at home, so: Hawks 28, Niners 21
