I appear to be back on track. Maybe it was Cuban's announcement of his betting fund, or maybe I'm just getting lucky again. Who knows. Either way, this week was good to me.

• Indianapolis 44 (-9.5), Detroit 9: Payton Manning and Marvin Harrison had a nice game of catch on Thansgiving. It's nice when you get a chance to do that. Did Detroit have their turkey before the game?
• Chicago 7, Dallas 21 (-3.5): I was on the road during this one, driving back home, so I didn't get to see it., but I picked it!
• Baltimore 3, New England 24 (-7): I never figured this one to be a blow out. I thought Baltimore's defense was a lot better than this.
• Philadelphia 27 (-7), New York Giants 6: Philly continues to roll. I guess T.O. can make that much of a difference. You can see what it's done for the 49ers!
• Washington 7, Pittsburgh 16 (-10.5): It's looking more and more like an all Pennsylvania Super Bowl. I picked Pittsburgh to win, but as the Ross Code of spreads proves once again, 10 points or more is too much.
• Cleveland 48, Cincinnati 58 (-6): The highest scoring game since the NFL merged in the '60s. I'm sure it was exciting, but no channels carried that game around here. I love the contracts the networks have signed with the NFL. "There's a very exciting, high scoring game going on, but we're going to stick with this boring blowout." Awesome choice, guys. Maybe you could help me work out a contract someday.
• Jacksonville 16, Minnesota 27 (-5.5): Who thought two fourth quarter fumbles would decide the game, both would be on key drives, and both would be by the quarterback?
• Tampa Bay 14 (-2.5), Carolina 21: Tampa Bay could have been tied for a playoff spot with a win, but they couldn't pull it out. The surprising part about that. Tampa Bay would have been 5-6! And at 4-7, they aren't out of it.
• San Diego 34, Kansas City 31 (-3): Drew Brees is putting together a "give me a big contract" year. He's a free agent - think there'll be interest?
• Tennessee 21 (-1.5), Houston 31: Ouch. Tennessee is now below Houston in the standings. That's gotta suck. Houston's only problem? 5-6 isn't even close to a playoff spot in the AFC.
• New Orleans 21, Altanta 24 (-9.5): Not quite a ten point win is it? But it is a win, and they pretty much clinch a division title. Oh yeah. The Eagles actually did this week.
• New York Jets 13 (-3), Arizona 3: It's too bad the Jets are in the same division as the Patriots. They'd be in first place in 4 of the other 7 divisions in the NFL. And they actually play defense pretty well, which gives them an advantage over a couple of the other AFC division leaders (including their own division leader).
• Buffalo 38, Seattle 9 (-5.5): How lucky do the Seahawks feel right now? They are 6-5, and leading the division. Now, that's a pathetic division.
• Miami 24, San Francisco 17 (-1): Maimi keeps it's playoff hopes alive! Now, they just need everyone else to lose every game. Meanwhile, the 49ers still have a shot at overtaking Seattle! Not that either will happen, but they could!
• Oakland 25, Denver 24 (-11): 11 points in the snow? Never going to happen. And Oakland actually looked like they were playing with heart!
• St. Louis 17, Green Bay 45 (-6.5): This was close for a while. Then Green Bay took over. Next week should be interesting (when they play Minnesota).

Here's how I'm doing this year.

For the record, I would like to get above 53% against the spread, and above 60% picking winners.

Week 13 spreads are coming in slowly. Once they are all there, I'll post my picks for next week.
