I just realized I never posted these. I had them done before today's games - honest! Anyway, here's the post I had written.

There's been a lot of talk lately about New England. They've yet to not cover. Reports are they are running up the score to prove to everyone that they can still win, even without cheating. They're doing a pretty good job of it - in last week's game, Brady was still in the game after they were up big - and they were still throwing the ball! How ironic would it be if Brady got injured in the second half of a blowout?

Of course, I'm not really complaining - having Randy Moss on my fantasy team changes that. If anyone cares, my team is 5-2, sitting at the top of my division. I claim no credit though. I was supposed to be at the live draft, but it turned out it was the day my son was born, so I ended up drafting based on the standard list. It didn't turn out too bad - Larry Johnson, Willis McGahee, Ronnie Brown, and Randy Moss were some of the names I ended up with. But I've had two running backs go down for the season - Brown and Carnell Williams. I was hurting, but I ended up trading to get Bryant Westrbrook, so hopefully I'll be OK for the rest of the season.

Anyway, on to my picks

• Indianapolis (-6) vs. Carolina (44.5 O/U): Indy has to win, so that next week, we can have a showdown between the Colts and the Patriots.
• Pittsburgh (-3) vs. Cincinnati (48 O/U)
• Oakland vs. Tennessee (-7) (40.5 O/U)
• New York Giants (-9.5) vs. Miami (48 O/U)
• Cleveland (-3) vs. St. Louis (45 O/U)
• Detroit vs. Chicago (-5) (45 O/U)
• Philadelphia (-1.5) vs. Minnesota (37.5 O/U)
• Houston* vs. San Diego (-11.5) (45 O/U): Apparently the oddsmakers are pretty sure the Chargers are back.
• Buffalo vs. New York Jets (-3) (37.5 O/U)
• Jacksonville vs. Tampa Bay (-3.5) (32 O/U)
• Washington vs. New England (-16.5) (48 O/U): Another 17 point spread for the Patriots. I wonder what it'll be next week against the Colts.
• New Orleans (-2.5) vs. San Francisco (40 O/U)
• Green Bay vs. Denver (-3) (42 O/U)

This week, I'm going with Indianapolis (-270), Tennessee (-300), Philadelphia (-130) and San Diego (-500) for my (not so) "lock solid" picks.

Check back next week to see how I did.
