I'm looking over the games this week, and really, I'm trying to find a game I'm excited to see. I'm sure I'll watch the Lions, and that should be a good game, but the rest just don't have any appeal to me.

What games interest you this week?

• Miami vs. Philadelphia (-10) (40.5 O/U)
• Oakland vs. Minnesota (-5.5) (35.5 O/U)
• San Diego vs. Jacksonville (-3) (40.5 O/U)
• Carolina vs. Green Bay (-9.5) (37.5 O/U)
• New England (-15.5) vs. Buffalo (46.5 O/U)
• Kansas City* vs. Indianapolis (-14.5) (44 O/U)
• New Orleans vs. Houston (-1) (47.5 O/U)
• Cleveland (-3) vs. Baltimore (43.5 O/U)
• Pittsburgh (-9) vs. New York Jets (40 O/U)
• Washington vs. Dallas (-10.5) (46.5 O/U)
• Tampa Bay (-3) vs. Atlanta (35.5 O/U)
• Arizona vs. Cincinnati (-3) (48.5 O/U)
• New York Giants (-3) vs. Detroit (49.5 O/U)
• St. Louis (-3) vs. San Francisco (40.5 O/U)
• Chicago vs. Seattle (-6) (37.5 O/U)
• Tennessee vs. Denver (-2) (38 O/U)

My "Lock Solid" picks for the week: Green Bay (-450), Pittsburgh (-450), Cincinnati (-170), and Seattle (-275). I'm starting to think that I'd be better if I stuck to lower money lines. It only takes one wrong pick to screw up a week when you pick the larger money lines. But even though I know that's what I need to do, when I look at the games that have a money line between -110 and -200, that'd be Jacksonville, Houston, New Orleans, Cleveland, Tampa Bay, Cincy (who I picked), New York Giants, St. Louis, and Denver. Those games are tough ones to pick, let alone lay a "Lock Solid" label on them. Of those nine teams, I actually picked five of them to lose!

Check back next week for my results.
