\u00c2\u00a0by Nick Ferraro<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0Last Week —<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0 Straight up: (4 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 9) vs. Spread:\u00c2\u00a0 (4 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 9)
\n\u00c2\u00a0YTD —<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0Straight up: (63 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 46 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 2 ) vs. Spread (51 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 58 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 2)<\/p>\n

Okay, no more guarantees.\u00c2\u00a0 I said I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d hit ten wins, and I almost lost ten instead.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a strange week, and the record reflects it.\u00c2\u00a0 After a major push to the Mendoza line following a dreadful start, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve taken two steps back.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a big week if we plan to finish in the black.\u00c2\u00a0 Here we go:<\/p>\n

Chiefs at Rams (-3)
\n<\/strong>The Rams are a decent team especially at home.\u00c2\u00a0 The Chiefs need home cooking to beat decent teams.
\nRams 34 Chiefs 27<\/em><\/p>\n

Bengals at Ravens (-3)<\/strong>
\nI like the way the Baltimore offense responded to Brian Billick taking over.\u00c2\u00a0 There is little to like about the way the Bengals are playing.
\nRavens 23 Bengals 13<\/em><\/p>\n

Texans at Giants (-13)
\n<\/strong>The Giants defensive line is a bad matchup for the Texan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s offensive line.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a tune-up for next week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Bears game for NY.
\nGiants 33 Texans 12<\/em><\/p>\n

Titans at Jaguars (-9)<\/strong>
\nThe Jags are hard to figure.\u00c2\u00a0 I certainly didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see them playing well at Philly last week.\u00c2\u00a0 This is too many points though.
\nJags 28 Titans 21<\/em><\/p>\n

Cowboys (-3) at Redskins<\/strong>
\nThe Redskins are just too beat up.
\nCowboys 26 Redskins 17<\/em><\/p>\n

Packers at Bills (-3)<\/strong>
\nThe Packers have had success of late against the league\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cellar-dwellers.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a road game though, and the Bills aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t that bad.
\nBills 28 Packers 21<\/em>
\n\u00c2\u00a0
\nSaints (-1) at Buccaneers
\n<\/strong>The Saints are banged up, and the Bucs are a difficult bunch at home.
\nBucs 23 Saints 20<\/em><\/p>\n

Falcons (-5.5) at Detroit<\/strong>
\nThe Falcons new-found passing game should be enough to overwhelm the Lions.
\nFalcons 38 Lions 24<\/em><\/p>\n

Dolphins at Bears (-13.5)<\/strong>
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s another junior varsity game for Chicago.
\nBears 38 Dolphins 0<\/em><\/p>\n

Vikings (-5) at 49ers<\/strong>
\nThe Pats exposed enough holes in the Vikings defense last week for the Niners to keep it close.
\nVikings 24 49ers 21<\/em><\/p>\n

Browns at Chargers (-12.5)<\/strong>
\nThe Bolts will dominate the punchless Brownies.
\nChargers 31 Browns 6<\/em><\/p>\n

Broncos at Steelers (-2.5)<\/strong>
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard to pick against the Steelers when their backs are against the wall at home.
\nSteelers 16 Broncos 13<\/em><\/p>\n

Colts at Patriots (-3)
\n<\/strong>The Pats have the same stranglehold on the Colts as the Colts have on the Broncos.
\nPatriots 34 Colts 27<\/em><\/p>\n

(Monday) Raiders at Seahawks (-8)<\/strong>
\nThe Raiders defense will hold them in it against the depleted Seattle offense.
\nSeahawks 21 Oakland 14<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
