I’ve been on business all week, which would explain the lack of posts. So we’ll pick up this week where last week left off: With my picks, which are getting better (as if they could get worse). Here’s how I’m doing against the spread:

Last Week: 8-5
On the Season: 24-35
Locks of the Week: 3-1

This week’s games:

Indianapolis Colts (-3) @ Houston Texans: The Colts had a week off. The Texans have been incredibly disappointing. If the Colts lose this one, they’re in trouble. When was the last time you saw Peyton Manning 1-3? His rookie year. It won’t happen again. Colts win, cover.

San Diego Chargers (-6) @ Miami Dolphins: Can the Wild Hog formation work again? Me thinks no. It’s a bit high, but take the Chargers.

KC Chiefs @ Carolina Panthers (-9): How KC won last week is something I”m still scratching my head over. Again: Another high spread. I hate betting against these high spreads. But who’s got hte balls to bet on Damon Huard and that awful offense? Go with what’s logical, take the Panthers.

Washington Redskins @ Philadelphia Eagles (-5): For whatever reason, I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that Washington’s any good. Beating Dallas on the road should be reason enough to do the same to Philly, but I don’t like it. Take the Eagles, who are close to unstoppable at home.

Chicago Bears (-3.5) @ Detroit Lions: Pop quiz: Who’s the only team that hasn’t covered yet? Yes, it’s the Lions. And worst of all, they’ve been down by 18 points or more before they ever get on the board. Bears roll.

Atlanta Falcons @ Green Bay Packers (-3): I’d love Atlanta to win it, but like I said last week: This team just can’t play on the road. Packers win.

Seattle Seahawks (+7) @ New York Giants: New York wins, but take the touchdown. Seattle covers.

Tampa Bay Bucs (+3) @ Denver Broncos: I think the Broncos are going to find it’s hard to win games if they can’t stop the run or pass. And the defense they’re playing this week is pretty damn good.

New England Patriots (-3) @ San Francisco 49′ers: Do you want to bet against Belichick with two weeks to prepare? Me neither. Take the Pats in a bounce back game.

Buffalo Bills @ Arizona Cardinals (-1): The Cards have looked rough on teh road, but theyu’ve looked pretty solid at home. Buffalo’s been a nice story, but they suffer their first loss in this one.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Dallas Cowboys (-16): Watching this Cincinnati team is like watching Wile E. Coyote take that first step off the cliff. Oops! ‘Boys win, 217-3.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Jacksonville Jaguars (-4): The Steelers can’t stop the run and they can’t block. Not good when you’re playing a good D-line and a good running game. Last year the Jags had their number. This year I don’t think it’ll be much different. Take the Jags to cover the four.

Minnesota Vikings (+3) @ New Orleans Saints: The Saints are starting to click, but I just don’t see that bad front seven able to stop AP & Co.

Lock of the Week:

Tennessee Titans (-3) @ Baltimore Ravens: Pop quiz: Who’s the only team in the NFL that has covered the spread every week? If you guessed the team I’m taking here, you’re right. This one scares me, but stats don’t lie. Titans roll.
