Surprising number of teams technically still in it…I’m going to call ‘em all:
FYI - Spreads based on pro-line odds, so there may be some value vs. the regular books
• GB -4: GB is playing well and the Bears are hurting defensively
• Indy +9.5: The Texans must be reeling after getting dusted in NE. I would look for a bounce back game, but I get the feeling they may not be ready for Luck
• Den -3.5: Tough game to call…The Ravens have a few injuries on defense, not to mention a new offensive coordinator
• Jak +7.5: Miami has played well, but they never blow out teams
• Browns +.5: RGIII will not be in the line-up and the Browns are at home
• STL -1.5: I like Rams at home better than the Vikes on the road, though Peterson may make me switch…still a few hours before kick off.
• NO -4.5: This game will have lots of scoring – I like The Saints to outlast the Bucs in that department
• Atl -.5: The Falcons have a great home record, not to mention some motivation to beat a Giant team that humiliated them in the play-offs last year
• Sea -6.5: A road game for both teams. Tough call, but I’ll give the nod to Seattle’s offense
• Car +3: This is a coin flip for me. SD is really good at losing games they should win
• Ariz +7: Another coin flip. The Cards were embarrassed last week and are at home. Detroit has been a disappoint this year…Only playing for stats
• KC+3.5: Yet another coin flip. KC has a good record against the Raiders
• Dal +2.5: I like the Cowboys getting points at home. Mind you, this game will probably screw me because Pitt always screws me up!
• SF +6: Should be a great game. Mind you, the Pats handled Houston in a similar situation last Monday.
• NYJ +1.5: Someone fire the scheduler! What a dog game for a Monday night late in the season.
My top picks – GB, Cleveland & Atl.
