+9 or straight up?

Seattle -4 against Washington is a steal. Washington gave everything they had in a home divisional game where you expect them to get up, and they still lost by 3. Going on the road to a stadium with a real home field advantage against a team with an underrated D is going to be trouble.

Other thoughts:

- San Fran vs. Baltimore is almost certainly going to be a one score game. I like SF +3.5.
- Dallas -7 is awfully tempting too.
- Oakland getting points at home against Hanie is a gift.

I LOVE San Francisco at +3.5. Flacco against that defense? It isn't going to be pretty. I also like the Raiders and Tampa to cover.

Should be a solid week of football. LETS GO CHARGERS! (Never thought I'd say that)

The Panthers scored 27 points in the 1st half against the Lions defense, the Colts have 27 points combined in their last 4 games....this should go well

Denver giving a touchdown? I believe in Tebow, no way Rivers leads them too blow out Denver their defense is amazing and Tebow is Kobe Bryant in the clutch. Line is really appealing to me.

That Buffalo and Jets game will be a good one.

I seriously think Detroit beats Green Bay on Thanksgiving.

When will we know if Vick or young will be the QB for Philly? it might make a difference, but I still think NE walks away with that one. Philly can't close.

Honestly, I don't think the QB makes that much of a difference something tells me the Pats whoop Philly.

Love the Bills with that many points.

Oakland should win outright, the Bears have been playing better than they really are for a couple weeks now and that cannot persist.

I'd take Green Bay over Detroit if the line was 20. It's going to be ugly for the Lions; Green Bay might as well leave their punter at home, plus they'll get at least one INT return for a TD and a sack/fumble that sets up a red zone TD. I'm thinking 56-20 Packers. Detroit couldn't cover Minnesota or Carolina wideouts, they've got no prayer against Jennings or Nelson or Finley.

The following games have been updated: Atlanta, New Orleans, and Pittsburgh

The lines for the Carolina and Green Bay games stick out to me the most.

Don't count out the Bears. Matt Forte is just going to throw TD passes to himself like Curt Hennig.

Garrard had back surgery, he's out for the year.

The name JT OSullivan keeps popping up in Chicago. I would implore Jerry Angelo to fight the urge to sign that name just because he has familiarity with Martz's offense. Dude sucks.

The Raiders have a number of injuries that concern me. Even with Cutler down, I think Chicago is more appealing this week, and especially at +4.5. I have nothing locked in just yet.
