NFL Week 10

Last week I had a winning record!

Tampa won but didn't cover, and the Jets beat the Bills for my two losses.

Detroit lost by four, but I picked them to cover, so that was a win.  Atlanta shut out Oakland.  The Eagles won by plenty against the Seahawks.  And Sen. Obama became the President Elect.

So I went 3-2 with a big bonus pick. At twenty bucks a game, I netted only $20 for the week, but given my recent performance, I'll take it.  Through nine weeks, I'm now only $15 down.

Yahoo odds as of 6:30 p.m. on Saturday lead me to the following picks:

St. Louis vs. New Jersey Jets (-8.5) at New Jersey for $20:
St. Louis is due for a win, and New Jersey is due for a loss.  Perhaps this isn't the week this will happen, but my gut tells me the Rams can cover at the very least. 

New Jersey Giants
vs. Philadelphia (-3) at Philly for $20:
I'm a sucker for road teams and defending Superbowl Champs, I guess.

Seattle vs. Miami (-8) at Miami for $20:
When was the last time Miami was favored by that many points?  I'll take 'em anyway.

New Orleans vs. Atlanta (-1.5) at Atlanta for $20:
Sure, why not.  Whenever I try to explain my picks, the exact opposite result occurs.  So I'll just pick and keep my mouth shut.

Kansas City
vs. San Diego (-14.5) at San Diego for $20:
KC lost its last two games, but the scores were pretty close.  The Chargers have also lost its last two.  The spread is just too big to pass up.
