I'm not - repeat not - betting every game, this is just a bit of fun. Last week's season-worstperformance of 5-8 leaves me 55-54-6 for the season. Good performance required this time out to get nicely ahead of .500.
FYI, the team I am picking is always listed first. All lines are taken from footballlocks.com at the time of posting.
Falcons -6.5 @ Colts
Curtis Painter is a singer-songwriter name, not a quarterback name.
Saints -8.5 over Buccaneers
Little-known fact: The Superdome was originally going to be called 'The ExcellentDome' but the additional neon letters on the sign would have cost almost half a million dollars.
Texans -10.5 over Browns
Picking double-digit favourites is exciting because you can never really relax!
Jets +2.5 @ Bills
I never pick the Jets. Might be ill.
Dolphins +4 @ Chiefs
Due to an unfortunate typo in a British sports magazine, I spent most of the late 1980s thinking there was a team called the Kansas City Chefs.
Redskins +4 over 49ers
My special, secret numbers say the 49ers are heavily over-rated. If I stop stop believing in the numbers what have I got left to live for?
Cowboys -11 over Seahawks
Seattle on the road, not good. I guess Seahawks are one bird that doesn't migrate. Dallas to win the NFC East, mark my words.
Broncos +7 @ Raiders
I have some handwritten notes on this game that I can't read now (I was drunk at the time) but it definitely says 'Broncos cover' at the bottom. Or is that 'Bonzo power'? Hmmm..
Titans -3 over Bengals
I once drove from Canada, through Cincinnatti, to Tennessee. I don't suppose that's strictly relevant. Or as relevant as obscure ATS trends, perhaps.
Cardinals -3 over Rams
I wish I had NFL Sunday Ticket so I could actually choose not to watch this game.
Giants +9 @ Patriots
I bet a team of actual Giants would be bloody good.
Chargers +5.5 over Packers
Dubious pick of the week.
Steelers -3 over Ravens
"Smash-mouth blah blah". I don't think smashing mouths is actually a good thing.
Bears +7.5 @ Eagles
Not yet convinced that the Eagles can't still find ways to throw games away.
Enjoy your NFL weekend....
