AKA, "Help me read the points and make picks for my Pro-Line tickets!"
Jacksonville @ Tennessee (-4.5)
Denver @ Kansas City (-4.5)
Buffalo (-4.5) @ Miami
Cleveland @ Pittsburgh (-9.5)
St. Louis @ New Orleans (-13.5)
Atlanta @ Carolina (-4.5)
Philadelphia @ Washington (-3.5)
Minnesota @ Green Bay (-6.5)
Cincinnati @ Baltimore (-4.5)
Chicago (-4.5) @ Oakland
Dallas (-3.5) @ New York Giants
Detroit (-3.0) @ Arizona
Indianapolis (-6.5) @ San Diego
San Fransico @ Seattle (-10.5)
I've been looking at some of the lines for this upcoming weekend, and there's a few tantalizing games up ahead. The other top 3 teams in the league, Indianapolis, Dallas and Pittsburgh, the lines seem out of whack for; They should be favored by more, IMO. I feel like I should take all three of them.
The other game that I was thinking of is Buffalo over Miami for 4.5. I'm thinking Buffalo should cover easily, and perhaps even win by 10 or more.
Anything else, you guys think are good lines?

Pittsburg laying 9.5, I think CLE should cover but I wouldn't bet on either side of that one.
Buffalo Laying 4.5 seems to be easy money.
Chicago laying 4.5 at Oakland, as bad as chi has been OAK is way worse and they are just decimated by injuries.
Those are the only two games that I feel absolute confidence in.
I am also eager to take the Colts. But still a little unsure of that.

I'd stay away from both the Dallas and Steelers game. (Like Stud said)

Denver
Call me Crazy....but....Cincinnati
Philadelphia
Large amount of money - Indianapolis

Maybe it's just me, but I think the Giants D-Line his highly overrated. The Giants haven't exactly played against anyone noteworthy in the past 5 weeks, where they pretty much racked up all their sacks and hurries.
That, and the last time the Cowboys beat the Giants by 10.

The safe picks this week seem like Detroit (I'm ready to bet against the NFC West whenever they're playing outside of the division the rest of the year) and Kansas City (mainly because Denver looked so completely awful last week). Might look at Atlanta, too, with Carolina starting an undrafted rookie at QB.

Cleveland isn't going to cover the spread. If I was a betting man I'd say the Steelers cover the spread and win by 14+.

Dallas should not be favored by more. And the line has dropped.

Sadly I'm no longer allowed to gamble on NFL games. But if I had the chance to get down, this weekend has a couple of tantalizers...
Miami getting 4.5 against the Bills. I'll be the first to champion the Dolphins as the worst team in the league and I greatly resepct Dick Jauron for the awesome work he's doing with the Bills. But Miami keeps every game close, and they're coming off a bye week, the first real time Lemon has spent working with Ginn and Booker and the 1st team offense. Miami's secondary is embarrassing, but even they can cover one guy, and right now JP Losman only looks for Lee Evans. I picked the Bills big in my prediction column, but the more I look at this game, the more I see a late FG being the deciding factor.
And I'd take every point Carolina gives to Atlanta and laugh all the way to the bank when the Falcons win straight up. The Falcons aren't very good but they're good enough to beat Matt Moore throwing to anyone except Steve Smith, who has been invisible lately. The Panthers are one of the softest teams in the league on both the OL and DL, and you can acuse t Falcons of a lot of misdeeds, but one thing they are not is "soft".

Washington covered the spread only once this year and that was against Philly. Pick them.

Washington (-3.5) definitely looks like a good pick, especially with the whole entire Philly team looking as despondent as Andy Reid is.

Gambling is legal in Ontario. I bet through OLGC's (Ontario Lottery & Gaming Commission) Pro-Line and Point-Spread.
