[Updated late Monday evening, 11/22/2010: Ron has gone 11 – 3 – 1.]
Yes – MIAMI 1 1/2 Chicago
The Dolphins are down to their 3rd string QB and Jake Long is playing (if he plays) with one arm. The Bears should do enough to win.
No – PITTSBURGH 7 1/2 Oakland
The Steelers will be fired up after last week’s loss, but the Raiders should keep it close.
Yes – Baltimore 10 CAROLINA
The Panthers just don’t have much left to play for. The Ravens should roll and cover.
No – TENNESSEE 7 Washington
The Redskins defense in not playing well enough to keep them close in this one. Titans to cover.
No – Dallas 6 1/2 DETROIT
The Cowboys showed serious signs of life last week, but will it last? The Lions cover at home.
Yes – Green Bay 3 MINNESOTA
An upset here wouldn’t shock me, but I just can’t quite pick the Vikings in this one. The Packers should win and cover.
Yes – CINCINNATI 5 1/2 Buffalo
Too many points for this Bengals team to give. Buffalo keeps playing close games.
Yes – JACKSONVILLE 1 1/2 Cleveland
The Jaguars are a decent team and home and should get it done this week.
Yes – KANSAS CITY 7 1/2 Arizona
The Chiefs should be able to control the ball and the game in this one. Too many weapons for the Cards to keep it close.
Yes – NEW ORLEANS 11 1/2 Seattle
Reggie Bush should be back and the Saints should win big.
Yes – Atlanta 3 ST. LOUIS
Both teams have plenty to play for, but the Falcons should prevail.
Yes – SAN FRANCISCO 3 Tampa Bay
This should be a good game. Two young QBs who are learning how to win. The Bucs keep it within 3.
TIE – NEW ENGLAND 3 Indianapolis
Another great game in the making. The Patriots are the healthier team right now and that makes the difference.
Yes – PHILADELPHIA 3 NY Giants
After last week, it’s too hard to pick against the Eagles in this one.
Yes – SAN DIEGO 10 Denver – [But no on the over]
I like the over (50) in this one better than trying to pick the outcome, but it’s the time of the year that the Chargers get it together, so they’re the pick.
