Last week: 3-1 (Shouldn't have taken Indy)
Against the Spread: 2-2
For the Season:
Straight Up: 11-7
Against the Spread: 5-11-1
Cincinnati Bengals (6-3) vs. (-7) Baltimore Ravens (6-3)
In what has become a surprisingly compelling matchup, the upstart Bengals travel to Baltimore to tangle for 1st place. I'm impressed by what this young Cincy team has been able to accomplish, but the Ravens aren't going to concede the division lead to these guys on their home field. The Ravens will Win the game, but not by more than a touchdown.
Oakland Raiders (5-4) vs. (-1) Minnesota Vikings (2-7)
This one is a slam dunk. Sure the Raiders have had a few hiccups this year. And this could certainly be one of them. But I don't think so. Minnesota has been known to be tough at home through the years, but I don't see it in this game. The season is careening down the home stretch and Oakland needs this one bad. I think they get it. I like the Raiders to Win.
(-8) Dallas Cowboys (5-4) vs. Washington Redskins (3-6)
I couldn't pass this one up! This is still the best rivalry in the history of the NFL. This year Washington's having a tough season, while the cowboys are starting to surge. The standard line is that dallas should be fine this week. BUT I have seen plenty of these matchups, and strange things happen when these old rivals get together. This time around, I like Washington to pull of the upset!
San Diego Chargers (4-5) vs. (-4) Chicago Bears (6-3)
When the schedules were released, this matchup looked like a prime time ballgame. Although it lacks some of its pre-season luster, this should still be must see TV. Bottom line, I expect the Bears to Win. Chicago has begun to assert itself, while San Diego has been slipping the past few weeks. The Chargers can still Win the AFC West, but that will have to happen in the coming weeks. San Diego leaves the Midwest with a 4-6 record.
There it is. Next week will be back to normal. Enjoy the games everyone!
