SAN DIEGO CHARGERS @ HOUSTON TEXANS
Line: Chargers -3
O/U: 50.5
My Pick: Chargers -3. San Diego wins 30-20.
Result: Chargers 29-23
The Chargers are getting better, and are going to challenge for the AFC West. Look out Raiders and Chiefs...

MIAMI DOLPHINS @ BALTIMORE RAVENS
Line: Ravens -4.5
O/U: 40.5
My Pick: Ravens 21-0
Result: Ravens 26-10
Close enough. I figured the Fins would struggle against the Ravens' D, and I was right.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS @ CAROLINA PANTHERS
Line: Saints -6.5
O/U: 41
My Pick: Saints -6.5. New Orleans squeaks past the Panthers 17-10.
Result: Saints 34-3
Ok, so it was a total blowout. Still counts as a victory!

NEW YORK JETS @ DETROIT LIONS
Line: Jets -3.5
O/U: 41.5
My Pick: Jets 27-13
Result: Jets 23-20 (ot)
Seriously Jets? Awful. Just Awful. I hate spreads of 3.5...

ARIZONA CARDINALS @ MINNESOTA VIKINGS
Line: Vikings -8.5
O/U: 40
My Pick: Vikings -8.5. The Vikings lay the smackdown on the Cards 34-10.
Result: Vikings 27-24
Seriously Vikings? WTF? The Cardinals? Geez.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS @ ATLANTA FALCONS
Line: Falcons -8
O/U: 44.5
My Pick: Falcons -8. Atlanta rolls 31-13.
Result: Falcons 27-21
Damn kick return TD screwed me out of the spread. Atlanta had this one in hand the whole way and just HAD to let the Bucs beat the spread.

CHICAGO BEARS @ BUFFALO BILLS
Line: Bears -3
O/U: 40.5
My Pick: Bills +3. The Bills get off the schnide with a 13-10 win.
Result: Bears 22-19
I was rewarded for my bold Bills pick with a tie of the spread. I don't think I'll stick with them this week, but I'll bet they win soon.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS @ CLEVELAND BROWNS
Line: Pats -4.5
O/U: 44
My Pick: Pats -4.5. New England wins easily 28-13.
Result: Browns 34-14
No Comment...

NEW YORK GIANTS @ SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
Line: Giants -7
O/U: 41
My Pick: Giants -7. New York wins 34-17.
Result: Giants 41-7
Ha! Seattle really is bad. I knew it!

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS @ PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Line: Eagles -3
O/U: 46.5
My Pick: Eagles -3. A tough choice, but Indy can't win without a run game. Philly wins 31-21.
Result: Eagles 26-24
I never considered the Eagles winning and not covering. Whoops.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS @ OAKLAND RAIDERS
Line: Raiders -1
O/U: 40.5
My Pick: Chiefs +1. I can't believe I'm getting points on this! KC Wins 24-20.
Result: Raiders 23-20 (ot)
What's up with multiple overtime games being decided by the same score? Didn't this happen earlier in the year, too? Answer: Yes. Week 6, Dolphins/Packers and Pats/Ravens both played 23-20 OT games. Weird.

DALLAS COWBOYS @ GREEN BAY PACKERS
Line: Packers -8
O/U: 45.5
My Pick: Packers -8. Green Bay rolls 33-20.
Result: Packers 45-7
So that's what quitting looks like. They'll get better under Garrett...if only because they can't get worse...

PITTSBURGH STEELERS @ CINCINNATI BENGALS
Line: Steelers -4.5
O/U: 41.5
My Pick: Bengals +4.5. Pittsburgh wins 12-10.
Result: Steelers 27-21
I had to go out on a limb...I guess I got what I deserved.
