Spiral Notes

By Jeremy Brunner

Last week: 11-5(69%)

Against-the-Spread: 6-8(43%)

Season total: 98-62(61%)

Season ATS: 66-79(46%)

Lock-of-the-Week: 7-4-1(62%)

I have officially thrown up my hands and given up. The spread is just too good this year. The bookies were already rich, but now they are bathing with my dollar bills. To change my luck, as a special holiday bonus, I'm offering not one, not two, but three locks-o' the week. To the picks we go.

Green Bay(9-1) at Detroit(6-4)

The Pack is rolling, thanks to an awesome defense and a circa-1996 era Brett Favre. This week they'll play things close to the vest, and save their good stuff for their showdown with Dallas next week. Pack 9, Loins 6

NY Jets(2-8) at Dallas(9-1)

Speaking of the Cowboys, they should have little trouble with the Jets in this Turkey-Day Classic. Cowboys 31, Jets 9

Indianapolis(8-2) at Atlanta(3-7)

The Colts are struggling, and they are making a habit of playing to the level of their competition. Colts 17, Falcons 14

Tennessee(6-4) at Cincinnati(3-7)

Jinx-alert! Jinx-alert! Upset Special #1: Bengals 30, Titans 26

Oakland(2-8) at Kansas City(4-6)

I'm thankful we're not stuck watching this crap-fest on Thanksgiving. Chefs 35, Raiders 25

Minnesota(4-6) at NY Giants(7-3)

Its almost time to start the Steve Hutchinson-for-MVP-bandwagon. If Chester Taylor Runs for 200 this week, I'm in. Its my first Take-it-to-Wendover-lock-of-the-week: Giants(-7) 44, Vikes 24

New Orleans(4-6) at Carolina(4-6)

Somethings got to give? Upset Special #2: Panthers 17, Saints 14

Houston(5-5) at Cleveland(6-4)

The Browns have shown they're good, now they have to learn how to win ugly. Browns 10, Texans 0

Seattle(6-4) at St. Louis(2-8)

An unstoppable force meets an immovable object. Umm. yeah. Hawks 13, Rams 12

Washington(5-5) at Tampa Bay(6-4)

The Buccs have proven all year that they are a quality club, especially at home. Not championship quality, but quality. Its my second Take-it-to-Wendover-lock-of-the-week: Buccs(-3) 26, Washington 10

Buffalo(5-5) at Jacksonville(7-3)

I think this will be a very close game. The Bills aren't nearly as bad as the Pats made them look on Sunday. Jags 21, Bills 19

San Francisco(2-8) at Arizona(5-5)

Just an awful game. Cards 16, Niners 7

Baltimore(4-6) at San Diego(5-5)

The Chargers are playing awful right now. Luckily for them, the Ravens are even worse. Bolts 17, Ravens 9

Denver(5-5) at Chicago(4-6)

Rex Grossman in the house. Upset Special #3: Broncs 13, Bears 6

Philadelphia(5-5) at New England(10-0)

This is the biggest regular season line I've ever seen. And my third and final Take-it-to-Wendover-lock-of-the-week: Pats 36, Eagles(+22) 27

That's right. The Pats will win but not cover. Bizarre but true.

Miami(0-10) at Pittsburgh(7-3)

John Beck gets his second start. Miami gets its 11th loss. Steelers 35, Phins 12

Agree/Disagree? Post below. Random posters will score a free Famous Bowl from KFC.
