NYJ (+9.5) @ NE
Bode, Jer, The Kid
Meat, BMac, TBuck
The Kid: Jets suck. Geno sucks. But, the Jets have covered the last three against New England. I’ll take the points.
Bode: Rex gets it going with his job on the line.
Meat: NE is rolling and it’s downhill against the NY Jokes.
Consensus: SPLIT
ATL (+7.5) @ BAL
Bode, BMac, Jer, The Kid
Meat, TBuck
TBuck: The AFC North is tighter than a virgin’s honey pot. Baltimore stays focused and rolls.
Meat: Beating the shit out of Falcons when they’re on the road is just how it goes now.
BMac: Matty Ice with a garbage time TD for a backdoor cover.
Consensus: Hotlanta
NO (+3.5) @ DET
Bode, Jer, The Kid
Meat, BMac, TBuck
Bode: Last one to score in this old fashioned shootout wins, but a field goal isn’t enough for Detroit to cover.
Jer: Saints in the dome after a buy win outright.
TBuck: Drew Brees on the road verse a tough Detroit defense = $
Consensus: SPLIT
CAR (+7.5) @ GB
Meat, Bode, TBuck, Jer
BMac, The Kid
The Kid: Carolina earned a tough cover in Cinci last week, but can’t do it in Cheese Country.
Meat: Cam can cover again now that he’s not stuck in the pocket. GB wins but only by 7.
BMac: Panthers D is just bad at home.
Consensus: Carolina
CLE @ JAX (+4.5)
Everyone
No one
Consensus: BIG PLAY LOCK
MIA (+3.5) @ CHI
TBuck
Meat, Bode, Jer, BMac, The Kid
Meat: Bears can beat the Phins by a TD or more at home. Book it.
The Kid: Miami going to be hungover after blowing one against the Pack and it’s going to be cold in the Windy City.
TBuck: The numbers show these teams are closer than you would think. Take the points.
Consensus: DA BEARS
TEN (+4.5) @ WAS
Meat, The Kid
Bode, Jer, BMac, TBuck
BMac: Washington has a terrible defense, but Charlie Whitehurst is Charlie Whitehurst
Meat: Washington has no right getting points from anyone.
Jer: Tennessee squeaked one out against Jacksonville, while Washington is better than they way they’ve been playing.
Consensus: Redskins
SEA @ STL (+6)
Everyone
Nobody
Consensus: BIG PLAY LOCK
MIN (+4.5) @ BUF
BMac, TBuck, The Kid
Meat, Bode, Jer
Bode: Pillow fight. Take the home team.
Jer: If gambling were legal and I, a betting man, I wouldn’t touch this game.
TBuck: Stay away. But if you’re a true degenerate gambler, then take the points.
Consensus: SPLIT
CIN (+2.5) @ IND
BMac, Jer, The Kid
Meat, Bode, TBuck
Meat: No doubt in my mind that Luck doesn’t win and by at least a field goal.
The Kid: Cinci wins this outright. No one Colts keep playing out of their minds.
Bode: No clue, but I’ll go with the home team since Cinci is too inconsistent.
Consensus: SPLIT
KC (+4.5) @ SD
BMac
Meat, Jer, Bode, TBuck, The Kid
BMac: Andy Reid is 13 – 2 in his career when coming off of a bye, and the Bolts D looked a bit shaky last week.
The Kid: Chargers establish dominance in the AFC West. Let the Rivers flow!
TBuck: They let me down last week but the cover streak had to end at some point. This will be closer than I like though.
Consensus: Super Chargers
NYG (+5.5) @ DAL
BMac, The Kid
Meat, Bode, Jer, TBuck
BMac: G-Men have won four of last five in big D. Classic letdown for the Boys after winning in Seattle.
Jer: Can’t tell if GMen are good or if they just got lucky a few times. There’s no doubt about Dallas though.
Meat: Dallas doesn’t let up after a big road win in Seattle.
Consensus: SPLIT
ARI @ OAK (+3.5)
Bode, BMac, TBuck, Jer, The Kid
Meat
MeatMan: Raiders get their first win as Arizona overlooks Carr’s crew.
Jer: Oakland kept it close against San Diego, but Arizona’s D is another matter. As close to a lock as I’m willing to give.
Bode: Lock of the week.
Consensus: Cardinals
SF (+7.5) @ DEN
Meat
Bode, Jer, The Kid, BMac, TBuck
Meat: San Fran keeps it close enough to prevent Denver from covering. Denver wins though.
TBuck: San Fran on a short week heading into the thin air…
BMac: Bad spot for banged up SF defense to have to go on the road against Peyton on a short week.
Consensus: Broncos
HOU (+3.5) @ PIT
Meat, Bode, TBuck
BMac, Jer, The Kid
BMac: Pittsburgh bounces back after being humiliated by the Browns.
TBuck: Pittsburgh sucks.
Jer: Such a crappy MNF game. Pittsburgh pulls it together a few more times this season. This is one of them.
