Victories: Bucs, Eagles, Packers, Patriots, Chiefs, Raiders, Vikings, Bills, Saints

9-6 for a total of 142-81

A so-so week for me, with 2 weeks to go

Texans (-3) @ Buccaneers: This should be a high scoring affair. But the Buccaneers are missing 2 key WRs (Evans and Godwin) so the Texans should win by more than 3.

Points: Bucs
Victory: Bucs

Bills @ Patriots (-6.5): Thanks to order of tie breakers, this game means much less for the AFC East than it could have. I think the Pats win here but I think that spread is too much against Buffalo

Points: Bills
Victory: Pats

Rams @ Niners (-6.5): Gut feeling: This will be a slaughter by the Niners. They blew a game against Atlanta last week, and the Rams, after getting kicked in the nuts by Dallas, will be feeling down. Lay the points

Points: Niners
Victory: Niners

Jaguars @ Falcons (-7):  The whole Jags organization is in disarray and the Falcons, coming off a nice win against SF will take advantage.

Points: Falcons
Victory: Falcons

Saints (-2.5) @ Titans: This is one of those "Vegas knows something" lines. That line is too lenient on the Titans. Coming off a disappointing loss to Houston and now they get the Saints looking for HFA? I can't buy it.

Points: Saints
Victory: Saints

Giants @ Redskins (-1): PICK'EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Redskins have been playing much better of late but I think the Giants have shown some backbone recently and will defeat the Redskins

Victory: Giants

Steelers (-3.5) @ Jets: UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!
This should be a very low scoring game. The Steelers, with a rookie QB, against a defense that is one of the best at stopping the run. JuJu Smith Schuster is questionable at this point but he would be a big help. The last time an opposing fan base overrode a Jets game; the Jets kicked the crap out of Oakland. This won't be that but I have a feeling the Jets win.

Points: Jets
Victory: Jets

Bengals @ Dolphins: PICK'EM #2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I will take the Dolphins because I like what Brian Flores has done more than what Zac Taylor but it really is a toss up.

Victory: Dolphins

Panthers @ Colts (-6.5): The Panthers have lost 6 in a row and I think it will be 7. But I dont think the Colts are strong enough to cover that spread.

Points: Colts
Victory: Panthers

Ravens (-9.5) @ Browns: The Browns are a mess bonafide and the Ravens want revenge. Good luck with that, Freddie Kitchens.

Points: Ravens
Victory: Ravens

Lions @ Broncos (-7): I feel the Broncos like I feel with the Colts. I think they will win but they aren't good enough to cover the spread

Points: Lions
Victory: Broncos

Raiders @ Chargers (-7.5): And YET ANOTHER game that I feel that that the Chargers will win but that hook scares me a bit. I will take the points.

Points: Raiders
Victory: Chargers

Cowboys (-2) @ Eagles: PICK'EM #3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to go with Dallas after the show they put on against the Rams. However I wouldn't be shocked if Philly wins either because I have seen it before. But I will take Dallas.

Victory: Cowboys

Cardinals @ Seahawks (-9.5): This one is a close call. The Cardinals played well against Cleveland but Seattle is at home where they usually win. The question is the spread. I will go with the option of a letdown. by Arizona

Points: Seahawks
Victory: Seahawks

Chiefs (-6) @ Bears: For some reason, I think the Chiefs are going to kill the Bears. The QB matchup is as stark as you will ever see and I don't know what enthusiasm the Bears will have. Give me KC

Points: Chiefs
Victory: Chiefs.

Packers @ Vikings (-5.5): The Packers offense has been slowed in recent weeks and the Vikings offense is on a roll. I will take the Vikings with the points.

Points: Vikings
Victory: Vikings
