[B]Season: 42-28 (60%)
Just Leans and open for discussion now. Final picks later.
New England -2.5 at Pitt. Like the Pats at -2.5. Maybe even -3. Brady ahs had good success against the Steelers enve when their D was good. Both Ds are belwo par this year.
New England/Pitt over 51. It has gone up to 52 so I might not play it, but this could be a high scoring affair if Pats stick to their no huddle hurry up.
Dallas +3.5 at Philly. I like what Rob Ryan has done with the Boys' D and the Eagles D is not very good in the hands of that former OL Coach. However, it is a tough spot for the Cowboys as it is a must win for the Eagles. I may need that extra half point.
Seahawks if +3. Maybe. Cinci doing it with smoke and mirrors and a good D. Whitehurst was bad last week. Maybe he redeems himself.
Rams if +14? Not sure I can do it. Rams have taxi-squaders as CBs. Bradford or Feely at QB? Saints weak D is the only hope. 34-24 on a late garbage TD by the Rams? But maybe there are better bets elsewhere than this prayer.
Bills -6. It's in Toronto. Skins are coming a bit undone. Still have a good D though. But they are missing Hightower, Moss and Cooley and Beck is at QB
SF -8.5 vs Cleveland. I can't see Browns scoring more than 10. Niners D playing lights out. Browns couldn't get more than 6 at home vs Seahawks! Still, 8.5 is a lot for Alex Smith to cover.
Browns / Niners over 38.5. Tough call as Browns would need to open it up and contribute to the total. Maybe TOs and a return or two by Cribbs and Ginn will get it over.
SD/KC over 44. Rivers and that arsenal he commands can score some points. How do they keep finding ways to lose? Chiefs will have to try to keep up.
Houston -9.5 vs Jacksonville. Not sure Jags will get 10. Letdown from their big MNF win. Wade has Texans D playing great. Back home in the loud Dome vs Rookie Gabbert. Jags don't get 10 points.
Panthers/Vikings over 48. Panthers always over. Cam can score on anyone, certainly this Viks D and Panthers D willhave trouble containing AP.
Bills/Redskins over 46. Bills are an over machine with a great O and a bad D. But Shanahan will try ball control. I'm banking on Bills not allowing them to as they will score early.
Eagles/Boys under if 51. Back and forth on this one. I see Cowboys going for ball control. But I could also see it getting into a track meet. I like Rob Ryan. He has that Boys D playing very well. Pats barely got 20 at home vs Boys. Gotta believe he will be ready for Vick.
Giants -9 and over 43. Fins CBs are weak. Eli will have a field day. Fins do have some WRs but not much of a QB. Tuck, Jacobs and the Prince back. Giants off bye usually not so good. Fins seem to like their coach and may play hard.
Denver +3.5 vs Detroit. Tebow more comfortable at Mile High. Lions may be without Stafford and reeling a bit even with him. Best still out? No running game. Denver will be up for it.
