Week Four Picks

Even less time than before:

Early games:

Chicago (-7) over Carolina (if they can't cover this spread it really is all over)

Buffalo (-3) over Cincinnati (yes please!)

Tennessee (+1) over Cleveland (the Titans look decent and Chris Johnson hasn't even shown up yet. He's been playing? Oh...)

Dallas (-1) over Detroit (So that the Lions won't be undefeated when they play the Bears)

Minnesota (-2) over Kansas City (the ViQueens have to be able to finish a game sometime, right?)

Redskins (PK) over Rams (watch as I slowly slide off the Rams bandwagon)

Philadelphia (PK) over San Fransisco (At least until Michael Vick completely falls apart)

New Orleans (-8) over Jacksonville (Saints D needs to get it going soon; Jacksonville is the team to get your confidence back against)

Steelers (+4) over Houston (if the Texans win here I will consider jumping off the Steelers betting wagon)

LATE GAMES

Giants (-1) over Arizona (bet against the NFC west as long as you can)

Atlanta (-6) over Seattle (if your counting at home, none of the four NFC west teams are favored and all are playing at home)

Packers (-13) over Denver (by the way, how bogus was that holding call at the end of the Bears-Packers game? And how awesome was that punt return design? Am I the only one who wonders why they didn't bust that out last year in the NFC Championship game? I hate you Lovie.)

New England (-5) over Oakland (Raiders are good; Brady is pissed)

San Diego (-9) over Miami (last week's lesson: as always, don't bet on Norv to make an easy game easy.)

Sunday Night

Jets (+4) over Baltimore (running out of time; this looks good)

Monday Night

Bucs (-10) over Colts (headlines say "Colts preparing to go with Painter." I think every Colts fan just went out to buy a bottle of Colt45.)
