By Nick Ferraro<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last Week:<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0 Straight: 5\u00e2\u20ac\u201c7\u00e2\u20ac\u201c1 (with spread:\u00c2\u00a0 5\u00e2\u20ac\u201c7\u00e2\u20ac\u201c1)
\nYear to Date:<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0 Straight: 59\u00e2\u20ac\u201c37\u00e2\u20ac\u201c2 (with spread: 47\u00e2\u20ac\u201c49\u00e2\u20ac\u201c2)<\/p>\n

This week is easy.\u00c2\u00a0 There, I said it.\u00c2\u00a0 This is going to be a big week.\u00c2\u00a0 I am tempting the gods of the point spread because I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m that confident.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a double-digit winning week.\u00c2\u00a0 I am going to win at least ten of these.\u00c2\u00a0 Book it.<\/p>\n

Texans at Titans (-3)<\/strong>
\nThe Texans played very well in smacking the Jags last week.\u00c2\u00a0 The Titans come in off a bye week after trashing the Redskins.\u00c2\u00a0 The Texans are better on defense.
\nTexans 28 Titans 16<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Falcons at Bengals (-3.5)
\n<\/strong>The Falcons found a passing game last week against Pittsburgh.\u00c2\u00a0 The Bengals seem to have lost theirs.\u00c2\u00a0 It still bothers me that Atlanta had so much trouble handling Charlie Batch after Big Ben went lights-out.
\nBengals 33 Falcons 23<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Buccaneers at Giants (-9)<\/strong>
\nThe letdown is a factor for the Giants after slamming the Cowgirls and a short week.\u00c2\u00a0 The Bucs just don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have enough on offense to stay close.
\nGiants 34 Buccaneers 13<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

49ers at Bears (-16)<\/strong>
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a boatload of points, but the Bears got a wake-up call against the Cards, and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had a week to get ready.
\nBears 30 49ers 10<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cardinals at Packers (-4)
\n<\/strong>Ahman Green\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s presence means a lot to Green Bay.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re much better with him in the lineup.\u00c2\u00a0 I just can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t give more than the field goal with the Packers.
\nPackers 31 Cardinals 30<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ravens at Saints (-1.5)
\n<\/strong>The Saints are too good at home, and the Ravens have issues on offense.
\nSaints 23 Ravens 12
\n<\/em><\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0
\nRams at Chargers (-9.5)
\n<\/strong>The Chargers are too much for the Rams.\u00c2\u00a0 The Bolts will play much better than they showed last week in KC.
\nChargers 27 Rams 13<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Steelers (-9) at Oakland
\n<\/strong>The Steelers are tough off a loss.\u00c2\u00a0 Whether it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Big Ben or Batch, it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t matter against the Raiders.
\nSteelers 28 Raiders 7<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jaguars at Eagles (-7.5)
\n<\/strong>The Jags took it right on the chin last week against the Texans.\u00c2\u00a0 They have been exposed as pretenders.\u00c2\u00a0 The Eagles have lost two close games in a row.\u00c2\u00a0 They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be ready to play their best game.
\nEagles 31 Jaguars 17<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Jets at Browns (-1.5)
\n<\/strong>The Jets are the better team.\u00c2\u00a0 They win again and continue to exceed expectations.
\nJets 20 Browns 10<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Colts at Broncos
\n<\/strong>The Broncos have been built to beat Indy since they hammered Denver two years in a row in the playoffs.\u00c2\u00a0 They will grind the Colts up on the ground and play keep-away from Manning.
\nBroncos 27 Colts 17<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cowgirls at Panthers
\n<\/strong>The league\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s two most overrated teams meet Sunday in Carolina.\u00c2\u00a0 The Tuna\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s career and the Cowgirls season will continue to unravel.
\nPanthers 34 Cowgirls 17<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Patriots (-2) at Vikings<\/strong>
\nSpeaking of overrated, ESPN\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Mike Golic tabbed the Pats as the AFC\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s best team.\u00c2\u00a0 Hard to figure when you consider they got manhandled at home in a Sunday nighter against Denver.\u00c2\u00a0 The Patsies finally get a couple games against actual professional football teams starting this week.\u00c2\u00a0
\nVikings 26 Patriots 17<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
