Last week I went 6-7, with the Saints loss especially excruciating. I’m now 56-59-1 on the year. I also lost my best bet, bringing my record there to 4-3-1. The good news is for the first time in a long time, I actually like my picks this week, but it obviously remains to be seen whether that matters.
Redskins +10 at FALCONS
CARDINALS +3 at Bears
RAVENS -3 at Bengals
TEXANS +9 at Colts
CHIEFS +6.5 at Jaguars
PACKERS +10 at Buccaneers
Dolphins +10.5 at PATRIOTS
PANTHERS +13.5 at Saints
Lions +10 at SEAHAWKS
CHARGERS +4.5 at Giants
Titans +4 at 49ers (Best Bet)
Cowboys +3 at EAGLES
Steelers -3 at BRONCOS
Comments: I’m not in love with the idea of backing four more double-digit favorites this week, but for the first time since maybe Week 1, I actually feel confident with my picks. Of course, that doesn’t mean anything, but it’s at least better than the alternative – agonizing over every single game. I especially like the Chiefs, Packers and Broncos, with the 49ers as my best bet. The four-point line essentially says Vegas views San Francisco as just one point better than Tennessee? The 49ers actually haven’t won since Week 4, but their league-best run defense matches up pretty well against the Titans. Back SF.
