Last Week: 9-6
On the Season: 97-89
Locks of the Week: 13-5

Oakland Raiders @ San Diego Chargers (-10): The last time these two teams played, the Chargers defense had six sacks. Coincidentally, that was the last time the Chargers looked like the Chargers. San Diego is done with their playoff run. But lay the 10 and run with it.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Indianapolis Colts (-14): It’s a high spread, but are you really gonna bet the Bengals at this point in the season?

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Chicago Bears (-7): Take another high spread. The Jags really are that bad on the road.

Houston Texans @ Green Bay Packers (-6): The Texans lead the league in interceptions. That should help Green Bay’s really bad defense get a lift.

Cleveland Browns @ Tennessee Titans (-14): I know you’re seeing a string of home teams and favorites, which is normally disaster, but it isn’t every day you get the best defense in the league against Ken Dorsey. Yeah. Take the Titans.

Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions (+10): I feel like one of these days this team will cover a spread. And they almost beat Minnesota in Minnesota (if it wasn’t for a bone-headed QB running out of the back of the end zone, the game would have been tied). Take the Lions to cover the 10.

Philadelphia Eagles @ New York Giants (-7): These Giants just don’t get distracted by off-field issues. It won’t happen this week, either.

Atlanta Falcons (+3) @ New Orleans Saints: Take the over (52) in this one.

New York Jets (-3) @ San Francisco 49′ers: Jets are an up and down team. Last week was down. If pattern follows, this week should be up.

Miami Dolphins (+1) @ Buffalo Bills: Miami hasn’t looked hot, but Buffalo’s looked worse.

Kansas City Chiefs (+10) @ Denver Broncos: With a defense as bad as the Broncos’ D, you gotta take the points. And KC beat them, so I feel this one will be closer than it should be.

St. Louis Rams @ Arizona Cardinals (-13): They’re a good home team. Cards cover at home. Take ‘em.

Dallas Cowboys @ Pittsburgh Steelers (-3): Tony Romo has a hard time on nationally televised games — which this is — especially when he plays against good defenses — which Pittsburgh has. This one should be a lock. Pitt covers.

Tampa Bay Bucs @ Carolina Panthers (-3): Take a home team whenever in the NFC South. Oh wait, I picked the Falcons…

-Locks of the Week:

New England Patriots (-4.5) @ Seattle Seahawks: Has anyone seen Seattle’s defense? This one should be a gimme.

Washington Redskins @ Baltimore Ravens (-5): Are. You. Kidding. Me? Baltimore has the best run defense in the league. Washington can’t pass, anyway. Look for a 31-7 score here. Lock this one up. Bet the house. Ravens cover in the first five minutes.
