Just to see how it goes, and whether I can do better than the New York Post's headline handicapper, the hideous, unfunny Hondo.
Reasons given for picks except the games I'm actually betting, which are explained in my week 9 thread.
JAX -6.5 over KC
BALT -3 @ CINCI
Really, really hard game to pick, wouldn't actually bet on it with YOUR money let alone mine. Take Ravens as Cincinnatti 'D' probably not as good as advertised.
INDY -9 over HOUSTON
Probable shootout, Texans likely inability to get to Peyton plus their even worse running game makes me EDGE to Indy in the weekend's closest result to the actual spread...
WASH +9.5 @ ATL
Still think Falcons arent quite all they appear, think 'Skins can stay in it with physicality
TAMPA +9.5 over GB
CHICAGO -3 over ARIZONA
Umm, either QB could win or lose the game single-handed, can't decide... umm, er... OK, Bears because it'll probably be cold...
MIAMI +10.5 @ NEW ENGLAND
Think the Pats win this but can still see Miami giving them fits.
CAR +13 @ NEW ORLEANS
DETROIT +10 @ SEATTLE
Not putting money down means I don't mind going crazy on backdoor covers. Detroit to improve, Linehan's NFC West insight to help, Seattle injury-riddled.
TENESSEE +4 @ SAN FRAN
49ers aren't proving actually all that good at what they're supposed to be good at. Titans out-smash 49er mouths as turnoveritis goes into remission.
NYG -5 over SAN DIEGO
PHILLY -3 over DALLAS
I'm going against my own numbers here which say Philly can't keep putting up as many points. Little between teams, home advantage hopefully swings it.
DENVER +3 over PITT
(looks too easy, gulp)

4-9 last week! Thank heavens my actual bets went 4-3. I'll try again this week, main aim again is to do better than the NY Post's witless moron, 'Hondo'.
NY Jets -6.5 over JAX
Mediocre team beats mediocre team thanks to home advantage and a week's rest.
Washington +3.5 over Denver
Probably a tight game, tough for Denver travelling east off Monday night game
Cincinnatti +7 at Pittsburgh
Annoyed that I picked against the Bengals last week for no reason that I can fathom.
Tennessee -8 over Buffalo
I bet this at 7. Don't like the line going over a TD but gotta stick with it
Detroit +17 at Minnesota
Last three meetings, Vikes won by 2, 4 and 14.
Rams +14 over Saints
I just can't stand being too obvious OR giving up 14 points in the NFL, any time, anywhere
Carolina +1.5 over Atlanta
A bad start to the season from Jake doesn't make last year's NFC #1 seed a bad team.
Miami -10 over Tampa
I more or less tossed a coin on this. Bad spot emotionally for Tampa after finally getting the 'W'.
Oakland -2 over Kansas City
The Chiefs are dreadful. Oakland should be slightly less dreadful at home.
Seattle +8.5 at Arizona
Wouldn't bet this game with free money.
San Diego PK over Philadelphia
Horrid spot for Eagles going West off three division games.
Green Bay +3 over Dallas
Easy money ( ha ha )
New England +2.5 at Sindy
The Colts have been barely squeaking past mediocre, poorly-balanced teams. Gets tougher tonight.
Baltimore -11 at Cleveland
11 points? Ugh. I hate Mangini so let's say the Browns really are as bad as they look.
Picking (but not betting) every game
