Week 11 - Rich

• San Diego +3 Jacksonville-This game opened as a pik and has already moved to 3. Funny thing is I would consider taking Jacksonville outright. Look for LDT to get back on track in a close one.
• Indy -14.5 Kansas City-Brodie Croyle is starting for a Chiefs team that averages 15 points a game. Enough said....this game is over by halftime.
• Minnesota -5.5 Oakland-2 completely inept offenses. Under 35 points looks like an outstanding proposition. Look for Peterson to carry the Vikes yet again.
• Cleveland -2.5 Baltimore-When Kyle Boller is a better option at QB, your team has issues. I'm high on Cleveland....until they prove me wrong, I'm playing them almost weekly.
• Pittsburgh -10 NY Jets-The Jets defense will give up 30+ to an under-rated Steeler offense. The spread is high, but Roethlisberger is having a big year and has his best weapon back (Ward). Steelers win a rout.
• Atlanta +3 Tampa Bay-I hate picking John Joseph Harrington in any situation, but the Bucs on the road are pretty weak. If the Falcons win this game, they are right back in the division champion picture. This will definitely be an ugly game, but competitive.
• Arizona +3 Cincy-The Cardinals are the "other" dark horse in the NFL to make a playoff run. Kurt Warner and a good Cardinal offense should have a field day against Cincy. Cardinals win this game outright.
• Miami +10 Philly-Philly won an impressive game last week. Maybe they are improving? I'm still not sold on their offense. Miami can hang with Philly for most of the game....too many points here.
• Washington +10.5 Dallas-Huge spread for a big rivalry. Dallas (and Green Bay) look to be the class of the NFC. The Cowboys definitely win this game, but I'm picking them by 10.
• Houston -1 New Orleans-I know I said I was not going to bet on or against the Saints anymore this year....but I smell something cooking in Houston. Fresh off a bye week, Andre Johnson, Matt Schaub, and Ahman Green are all back? This offense just improved 150%. I like the Texans by double digits here. (Waiting for the Saints to somehow screw me once again this year).
• Green Bay -10 Carolina-Vinny is going to have major problems scoring against the Packers defense. The Pack continue to improve and will have no problems again this week.
• Detroit +3 NY Giants-I'm looking forward to this game. The Lions play well at home but the Giants are the more talented team. Definitely not wagering this game, but this game should be close. Taking the home dog.
• San Fran +3 St. Louis-This game will have a huge impact on the draft next year....that's about it.
• Chicago +6 Seattle-I'm not buying into the "new" Seahawk offense, but that's not why I'm taking the Bears. Sexy Rexy is back! He led his team to victory against an awful Raiders team and has a new-found lease on life. For maybe a couple of games, he'll play well and make everybody feel guilty for wanting him benched in favor of Griese. And then he'll bomb again in a huge game which will probably lead to his ultimate demise in Chicago. Bears in a possible outright upset.
• New England -14.5 Buffalo-Again, why pick against the Patriots in any situation?
• Denver -1 Tennessee-Tough pick here. The Titans do run pretty well and that's the one thing the Broncos can't stop. On paper it would only make sense to take the Titans. I'm going against reason here and taking the Broncos at home on Monday Night. Under 38 looks outstanding.
