I am not - repeat, not - betting every game. My bets are elsewhere. This is just a bit of fun. All lines are taken from footballlocks.com at the time of posting.
Last week I went 10-4-1 (missed the Thursday opener), here's hoping for more of the same:
Saints -6.5 over Bears
Jay Cutler is not Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees is not Matt Ryan
Lions -8 over Chiefs
Chiefs keep it tight early, Lions get a lead and it turns ugly
Jaguars +9 @ Jets
Regular readers (that's my wife) know I never pick the Jets.
Bills -3 over Raiders
The East coast is better than the West coast, ner ner ner nerrrr ner.
Redskins -3.5 over Cardinals
Cards so bad when travelling that they think 'Snakes on a Plane' sounds like a GOOD trip.
Titans +6 over Ravens
Expect punch-ups
Steelers -14 over Seahawks
I just heard Seattle coach is called Carroll. Women can't coach NFL!
Panthers +10 over Packers
Cheeseheads have shown a tendency to melt in hot southern climes
Buccaneers +3 @ Vikings
Dubious pick of the week
Browns -2 @ Colts
Will be picking against Indy until further notice. Not with confidence here, I admit
Cowboys -3 @ 49ers
A girl who really pissed me off lives in San Francisco
Dolphins +3 over Texans
Texans show up late, unaware they had to play again after beating Colts
Chargers +6.5 @ Patriots
Philip Rivers is hard to ignore.. but it's worth the effort
Broncos -3.5 over Bengals
Not sure what I'm thinking here. Whoever wins, too much orange on display
Eagles -2.5 @ Falcons
Atlanta hands-down the most over-rated team in the league.
Rams +6 @NYG
Giants looked f***ing horrible at Washington
