Weekly Picks

4-3 last week, 18-12 total. 60% is just about the bottom end of the acceptable range.

DALLAS -8.5 detroit: Joey Harrington threw 3 touchdowns last week. No way that's happening again. Dallas wins easily, assuming they don't have a letdown from Monday's big win.

BROWNS -2.5 dolphins: Miami is the better team. That's all you really need to know. Miami will win this game outright even though they haven't played well on the road this year.

TITANS +3.5 jaguars: I know Jacksonville can't score and is coming off a 30-point game after a record drought. But there's just no way you can pick such a bad team to beat a better team, or cover such a small spread. I could see this being a field goal game, but I'm betting that Jacksonville will win by at least 4.

49ERS +12.5 seahawks: I don't know why but I think San Francisco will do just enough to keep this game close.

BENGALS +5.5 colts: Indianapolis will have a letdown week this year. But it will come against San Diego and maybe Pittsburgh. Cincinnati just doesn't have enough to end a perfect season. I think Indianapolis will win by at least a touchdown.

TEXANS +6.5 chiefs: This is my lead pipe Tonya Harding lock of the week. Houston has covered three spreads in a row. Kansas City is coming off an awful loss on the road. This game is on national TV. Kansas City in a blowout. LJ goes for 200 yards and 3 TDs.
