Home team in CAPS
REDSKINS (-3.5) over Eagles
You know the Eagles are bad when I’m picking the Redskins to cover as a favorite. Obviously this game will come down to one team making some sort of stupid mistake, and right now, no one makes more mistakes in the fourth quarter than the Eagles.
Packers (-3.5) over LIONS
Detroit has only played three games at home this season, so it’s hard to know if they really have any sort of home field advantage or not, but it probably doesn’t matter. Green Bay has failed to be impressive this season, but they’ve been good and look like they have greatness in them; meanwhile, the Lions just look like a big chunk of average.
FALCONS (-10) over Cardinals
Atlanta plays a lot of close games, but Arizona is 0-5-1 against the spread in their last six games, so I’m not going to pick them.
Buccaneers (-1.5) over PANTHERS
I wasn’t sure at the start of the season, but it appears Tampa is back to their pattern of being a good team every other year. They are 7-2 against the spread this year, which is tied for best in the NFL with the Texans.
COWBOYS (-7.5) over Browns
Tony Romo is one of the best quarterbacks in the league in November, with a 20-3 record that is the best of any quarterback in the Super Bowl era. Unfortunately for him and Cowboys fans, the month of December still exists.
RAMS (-3) over Jets
LOCK OF THE WEEK
We all should have known that if things went bad for the Jets, they’d go real bad real fast. That’s what happens with a cocky, brash team that talks a lot. If they aren’t playing good and talking trash they will start to eat each other.
Colts (+9) over PATRIOTS
Just seems like a few too many points for two teams with the same record. Sure, the Colts have played a lot of garbage teams, but a nine-point line is giving them no respect at all.
Jaguars (+15.5) over TEXANS
Yes, Jacksonville is comically awful, but holy shit, that is so many points. Oddly, the Jags are much more terrible at home than on the road. On the road they have yet to lose by double digits, so I’m hoping they can keep that up.
Bengals (-3.5) over CHIEFS
Kansas City almost got that win on Monday. That must have been nice for them.
Saints (-5) over RAIDERS
I would not want to play the Saints right now; they are going to close strong.
BRONCOS (-8) over Chargers
Might this be the end for Norv Turner? Only somewhere between two and six years too late. Gotta say, part of me will certainly miss the looks of a sad, disappointed, overwhelmed Norv on the sidelines next to Philip Rivers temper tantrum time.
Ravens (-3.5) over STEELERS
People like to talk about how the Steelers still have a good shot without Roethlisberger. People tend to be wrong.

Bears (+5) over 49ERS
If only because I’m not sure that five total points will be scored in this game.

I'm def betting Broncos, St. Louis, and Tampa this week. Gotta keep up the hot streak. 7-0 in my last 2 weeks.
