Thursday Night
DAL (-4.5) @ CHI
Joe: DAL. One of my biggest preseason prediction misses, Bears at 12-4 along with Buffalo at 3-13. Everyone missed Arizona and the NFC South debacle. Although we both had Tampa Bay at 2-14. Dallas will break their 8-8 record streak at 3 and will somehow get to the 10 wins I predicted for them, starting with a big win over the terrible Bears 34-24.
FINAL: DAL 41-28. The Bears sure are horrible.
Sunday Games
Indianapolis @ (+3.5) Cleveland
Joe: IND. Colts win by 2 scores. Hoyer doesn't survive first half. Johnny shows flashes. Colts, 34-20.
Mike: CLE. It's up to the Browns defense to shut down the passing game. The Colts run game will shut itself down by itself. So look out for Fleener and Luck scrambles. Joe Haden, Buster Skrine will shut down the QBs. Need a big game from the LBs. Browns win outright 21-17.
Final: IND 25-24. Another game the Browns should have won. Woulda, shoulda, coulda.
Baltimore @ (-3.5) Miami
Joe: MIA. The Dolphins are a good team and it's Ngata good situation for the Ravens on defense. Phins', 30-24.
Mike: BAL. Baltimore always seem to win when it's least convenient for Cleveland. BAL 24-14.
Final: BAL 28-13.
Pittsburgh @ (-3.5) Cincinnati
Joe: PIT. This is the kind of game Ben wins for the Steelers. Pitt, 24-23.
Mike: PIT. Agreed. PIT 20-17.
Final: PIT 42-21. Meanwhile, Cleveland hasn't scored more than 34 points since 2009.
Houston @ (+6.5) Jacksonville
Joe: HOU. Watt will he do today?? Texans, 23-13.
Mike: HOU. Jacksonville is on the way up and won't always be among the worst teams in the league. But the dark days are still here for now. HOU 31-10.
Final: HOU 27-13.
New York Giants @ (+1.5) Tennessee
Joe: NYG. The Titans are really terrible, the Giants are just bad. G-Men, 23-17.
Mike: TEN. Agreed. TEN 20-13.
Final: NYG 36-7.
Carolina @ (-9.5) New Orleans
Joe: CAR. No one in the NFC South should be near this high of a favorite. Saints, 31-27.
Mike: NO. I have chosen ... poorly. NO 31-20.
Final: CAR 41-10. What in the world just happened in New Orleans?
Tampa Bay @ (-10.5) Detroit
Joe: DET. Hate this many points but who is playing QB for TB now?? Lions, 34-13.
Mike: TB. Agreed it's too many points and Tampa is a nuisance. DET 27-17.
Final: DET 34-17.
St. Louis @ (+3.5) Washington
Joe: STL. Will RG3 be a starter anywhere next year?? Philadelphia, I'd like to see that... Rams, 24-17.
Mike: STL. Mr. Griffin will be eating humble pie for another year or two. Give him time to completely heal and add some meat on his bones and he'll be a good QB again. STL 27-13.
Final: STL 24-0.
New York Jets @ (-4.5) Minnesota
Joe: MIN. Will the Jets get to 10 passes this week? Vikings, 27-17.
Mike: MIN. I've made enough mistakes picking the Jets. MIN 24-14.
Final: MIN 30-24.
Buffalo @ (-10.5) Denver
Joe: BUF. The Broncos continue running the ball and seal the game on the ground in the 4th quarter. Denver, 27-20.
Mike: DEN. I don't think the Bills will be able to keep up. DEN 41-24.
Final: DEN 24-17. Two garbage time TDs to cover the spread.
Kansas City @ (+2.5) Arizona
Joe: KC. This line just jumped a point. Vegas knows something. I wish I knew anything. Chiefs, 23-20.
Mike: ARI. As little as you know, it's twice as much as I know. All I know about is the 1980-81 Cleveland Browns. ARI 23-18.
Final: ARI 17-14. Glad this wasn't a 3.5 pt spread.
San Francisco @ (+9.5) Oakland
Joe: OAK. 49ers can't score for some reason. Still doesn't lead to a Raiders win. 49ers, 20-13.
Mike: SF. Certainly even the 49ers can blow out the former and future L.A. Raiders. SF 34-10.
Final: OAK 24-13. Watching SF crumble is a nice sideshow.
Seattle @ (-0.5) Philadelphia
Joe: SEA. Seahawks rounding in to postseason form at just the right time. Seattle, 24-17.
Mike: SEA. Just like last year. SEA 41-31.
Final: SEA 24-14. Eagles held to just two scores.
New England @ (+3.5) San Diego
Joe: NE. They're the best team in football. Pats, 34-23.
Mike: NE. Excuse me, but I'm pretty sure the Browns are the best team in football. NE 31-24.
Final: NE 23-14.
Monday Night
Atlanta @ (-13.5) Green Bay
Joe: GB. This is way too many points but how can you go against Rodgers on MNF?? Pack, 41-24.
Mike: ATL. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna take those two touchdowns. GB 28-17.
Final: GB 43-37. Falcons storm back to cover the spread. Hooray NFC South!
Mike: 10-6
Joe: 12-4 (!!!!)
