NFL Picks

TENNESSEE

4½

Jacksonville

I make this line about the same.

PASS, with a slight lean toward the Titans.

KANSAS CITY

3

Denver

I make the Chiefs a +9

This is BEST BET ONE. I’m uncomfortable with it only because I still can’t figure out the Broncos. But I’m going with my numbers.

Buffalo

3

MIAMI

I make the line Buffalo -7

PASS: Not big enough for a Best Bet, but I like the Bills here.

PITTSBURGH

9½

Cleveland

Believe it or not, I like the Steelers by 16

BEST BET TWO: I can’t believe Cleveland beat me by a point last week. The Steelers are back in form and Cleveland gets a reality check.

NEW ORLEANS

11½

St. Louis

The Saints by two touchdowns.

PASS: But New Orleans has a slight edge on the line.

CAROLINA

4

Atlanta

Can’t argue with this line.

PASS: Same line I’d make this game.

WASHINGTON

3

Philadelphia

I make this game even

PASS: What can I say here? I make this game even and if I played it I’d take the points.

GREEN BAY

6½

Minnesota

This line is too close to call.

PASS: I wrote Brett of last year, and boy was I wrong. That half point makes me lean toward the Vikings.

BALTIMORE

4

Cincinnati

I make the Ravens -1

PASS: This is a reluctant PASS since I can see the Bengals winning this one.

Chicago

3

OAKLAND

I have the Raiders at -3

BEST BET THREE: This doesn’t actually fall into my BEST BET category, but my plays are thin this week, and I can see the Raiders winning this one.

Dallas

1

N.Y. GIANTS

Dallas –5

BEST BET FOUR: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it now, I’m not a big Cowboy fan, but they’re going to win this, and it’ll be by more then a point.

ARIZONA

1

Detroit

This line is dead on.

PASS: One of those “who knows” games. Could go either way.

Indianapolis

3½

SAN DIEGO

The Colts by 12

BEST BET FIVE: This may be the Best of the Best. The Chargers maybe finding themselves, but the Colts will be bouncing back from last week BIG TIME!
