Wow, I finally broke out of three consecutive .500 weeks in a big way! 10-4 doesn’t really tell the whole story as I went 8-0 in the early games. I’m fairly sure I have never done that before. I was also 3-1 on locks with only the last second Dolphin TD blemishing my picks. Now I was 2-4 for the rest of the weekend, proving what goes up must come down. I said it about week 4 and I’ll say it about week 6, I’m afraid of this week. When the good and bad teams play each other, they have a tendency to be very inconsistent. I think I will be lucky to stay above .500 this week but here are my picks. Remember they are on the left and the locks are marked with an asterisk.
HOU +5 @ CIN — Something smells about a 5 point spread for CIN
DET +13.5 @ GB — Just too many points for banged up Packers
JAX -10 vs. STL — I may get hurt by these first 3 picks
MIN -3 vs. BAL — Changed my mind twice on this one
NO -3 vs. NYG — Tough one, going with home team
PIT -14 vs. CLE — Steelers have hammered CLE last few meetings
TB +3.5 vs. CAR — Home dog; can’t pass it up
KC +6.5 @ WAS — Redskins always play close ones
PHI -14 @ OAK — 2 TDs is a lot but this is the Raiders
SEA -2.5 vs. ARI — Another close one; and I’m taking home team
NE -9.5 vs. TEN — Titans could pull upset or lose by 20
BUF +10 @ NYJ — Got a feeling that Bills keep this close to the end
ATL -3 vs. CHI — Falcons won by 2 in 08; They are even better
SD -4 vs. DEN — Chargers have lit up good defenses all year
