Season Record: 49-35 (.583)
Last Week: 4-2
Indianapolis (-3) @ Tennessee
As long as the Titans keep ignoring Chris Johnson and putting the game in the hands of Kerry Collins they will struggle. The Titans to me seem like a team that is ready for their season to be over even though they are still alive in the AFC South.
Oakland (+4.5) @ Jacksonville
Yet another AFC South team that I am very unimpressed with. I am somewhat concerned about the Raiders traveling all the way across the nation for this game but I don't see either team scoring enough points to put this game outside of a field goal game.
New York Giants (-2) @ Minnesota
While the Giants worry me because of their inconsistency, the Vikings quarterback situation is a mess and I think the Leslie Frazier effect will fade a bit this week. I like the Giants winning by a field goal or more.
Detroit (+6.5) vs Green Bay
I typically don't like taking 6.5 points but I really think the Lions can keep this one close. They haven't won a divisional game in a couple years. I think the Lions make it interesting until the very end allowing them to stay within a touchdown.
Tampa Bay (-2) @ Washington
After last week I am becoming more of a believer in Tampa. Josh Freeman is looking better every week, but I think this pick is more about the mess that is the Washington Redskins than Tampa Bay. I love giving the two points here.
Cincinnati (+9) @ Pittsburgh
Divisional games typically stay close. This one comes down to the fact that this is a NFL game and I hate giving more than seven points. I'll take the points here and hope for a late cover field goal or touchdown by the Bengals.
Here's my picks so you can see some winners...
