posted on 10/09/08 at 08:00:00 pm by Joel Ross

I didn't get to watch a single minute of NFL football this weekend. That was a bit disappointing, but life goes on. Anyway, here are the results from last week.

  • Tennessee 13 (-3), Baltimore 10 (33 O/U)
  • Kansas City 0, Carolina 34 (-9.5) (38.5 O/U): A shut out? You don't see too many of those these days.
  • Chicago 34 (-3.5), Detroit 7 (44.5 O/U): Detroit needs to stop spotting teams 20+ points!
  • Atlanta 27, Green Bay 24 (-5.5) (42 O/U): This game finally came on the boards, but very late - once they announced the Rodgers would be playing.
  • Indianapolis 31 (-3), Houston 27 (47 O/U)
  • San Diego 10 (-6.5), Miami 17 (44.5 O/U)
  • Seattle 6, New York Giants 44 (-7) (43.5 O/U)
  • Washington 23, Philadelphia 17 (-6) (42.5 O/U)
  • Tampa Bay 13, Denver 16 (-3) (48 O/U)
  • Buffalo 17, Arizona 41 (0) (44.5 O/U)
  • Cincinnati* 22, Dallas 31 (-17) (44 O/U)
  • New England 30 (-3), San Francisco 21 (41 O/U)
  • Pittsburgh 26, Jacksonville 21 (-4) (36.5 O/U)
  • Minnesota 30, New Orleans 27 (-3) (46.5 O/U)

Results Summary

  • Picks (this week / season): 9 - 5 / 46 - 28
  • Spread (this week / season): 7 - 5 / 38 - 33

On to picks for this week. It's been a busy week, so I haven't had much time to follow much NFL news.

  • Chicago (-2.5) vs. Atlanta (43.5 O/U)
  • Miami vs. Houston (-3) (44.5 O/U)
  • Baltimore vs. Indianapolis (-4) (38.5 O/U)
  • Detroit vs. Minnesota (-13) (45.5 O/U): Detroit will pretty much just limp along this season, with no real direction - other than getting that #1 pick!
