5-8
The Cowboys defensive unit giftwrapped a victory, but the rest of the team squandered it relentlessly all day long. Eli Manning looked like a special quarterback on that mini drive that ended with Shockey in the end zone. The sadest thing about it though was that Parcells milked the clock with the sun beating down on the Giants D…part of it was bad play calling, and part of it was Bledsoe being Bledsoe. They’ll win it in overtime, but my chances of eclipsing -3.5 are slim.
Underestimated New Orleans, Baltimore and Detroit. Figured, why not? I’m still living in 2004 perhaps – but all three of these teams are either great or complete crap on any given Sunday. OK, the 4PM & 8PM picks:
BUF -3
SD -2
HOU -9.5
Can Seattle deserve almost a two diget spread against anyone?
Early Games 1st:
PIT -3
CHI -3
MIA +4.5
DAL -3.5
CLE +5.5
CAR +1
TEN +3
KC +6
ATL -4.5
STL +13.5 (Thought I had already listed St. Louis, but realized I hadn’t yet. Below is proof I had them before the game started)
