Here we go---I was 8-5-1 last week vs the spread.
GREEN BAY 6 over Minnesota. PICK: PACKERS. They're very good against the spread, they're at home, they're tough against the run. Don't forget the Vikings' shakiness at QB.
TENNESSEE 4 over Jacksonville. PICK: TITANS. They're at home, and to me Garrard's injuries and the question as to whether he'll start are key here.
KANSAS CITY 3 over Denver. PICK: CHIEFS. Cutler's status is questionable. Without him last week, the Broncos were horrible. With him they haven't been a whole lot better.
Buffalo 3 over MIAMI. PICK: BILLS. They're 6-2 vs the spread, is Buffalo; they have a history of playing well in Miami. The Dolphins so badly struggle to score.
NEW ORLEANS 11 over St. Louis. PICK: RAMS. Not to win; but to keep it under 11. That's a lot of points, and Bulger can keep the game closer by passing vs the Saints secondary.
PITTSBURGH 10 over Cleveland. PICK: STEELERS. Always go with the Steelers at home; for the most part they're a dominant home team.
WASHINGTON 3 over Philadelphia. PICK: REDSKINS. Eagles looked bad at home vs the Cowboys. The Redskins have been a solid home team, and can run the ball.
BALTIMORE 3.5 over Cincinnati. PICK: RAVENS. The Bengals are in disarray. The Ravens were terrible vs the Steelers, but they're at home, with much to play for, and they can get well vs the Bengals' D.
Chicago 3.5 over OAKLAND. PICK: BEARS. The Bears' defense will shut down Oakland's questionable offense. The Bears need this game.
Dallas 1.5 over NY GIANTS. Pick: COWBOYS. They'll outscore them again.
Detroit 1.5 over ARIZONA. PICK: LIONS. I'm officially on the Lions bandwagon.
Indianapolis 3.5 over SAN DIEGO. PICK: COLTS. They will show their character and bounce back.
SEATTLE 9.5 over San Francisco. PICK: SEAHAWKS. They're at home, and the Niners have not impressed.
