Tennessee @ Buffalo -1.5
The Bills finally showed some of their early season form last week against the Jets. A little home cooking and a little more C.J. Spiller should mean a win against the Titans who switch quarterbacks every two quarters.
Kansas City +7 @ Chicago
What an awful game. If the Chiefs are dumb enough to roll out Tyler Palko in Chicago, then they will get rocked and they will deserve it. They claimed Orton. They’re paying Orton. Play him. I think they will and he will outperform fellow backup Caleb Hanie.
Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh -6.5
This line is an overreaction from the poor performance by the Steelers on Sunday night. They beat the Bengals on the road by seven a few weeks ago. They should mop the floor with them at home, with or without The Hairdo.
Baltimore -6.5 @ Cleveland
Really? Clean out your pockets and your piggy banks.
NY Jets -3 @ Washington
The Jets play their best when they have their backs against the wall. And that they do. The Skins had a nice rare win last week against the Seahawks, but best of luck to them moving the ball against Rex Ryan’s defense.
Atlanta -2.5 @ Houston
The 1:00PM showing of “T.J. Yates: Nobody’s Fool” will be a poorly reviewed comedy that people walk out on halfway through.
Carolina +3 @ Tampa Bay
The Bucs have shown nothing during their five game losing streak. Make it six.
Detroit @ New Orleans -9
Who dat wanna play those Saints right now? Nobody. They look just like the Packers, except with a running game. And the Packers just wasted the Lions in Detroit.
Denver +1.5 @ Minnesota
I believe.
St. Louis @ San Francisco -13
The 49ers should be able to stop the Rams offense on just about every possession. If they score 20, they should cover.
Dallas -4.5 @ Arizona
Don’t kick it to Devin He….I mean…Patrick Peterson. If the Cowboys follow that rule, this will be a rout.
Green Bay -6.5 @ NY Giants
The Giants impossible second half schedule continues. They just let up 49 to the Saints and couldn’t come close to keeping up. I predict a lot of the same here.
Indianapolis @ New England -20
I would have picked the Colts if they kept Curtis Painter as the QB. Really.
San Diego -3 @ Jacksonville
My Mama always said…”Don’t bet on Blaine Gabbert.”
Best Bets: Atlanta, Dallas, Baltimore
