Time for another set of NFL picks. Had a rough start picking Cincinnati as a favorite last night. Didn’t know Andy Dalton was going to throw three interceptions so that didn’t help the cause. Let’s get to it.

Home team in CAPS:

Dallas (-7.5) Jacksonville: Tony Romo is going to play in the game and the Jags are terrible. This game can be played on Mars but the Cowboys are simply a better team than the Jaguars.

DETROIT (-2.5) Miami

BUFFALO (+2) Kansas City: I’m still riding the Kyle Orton train in Buffalo.

NEW ORLEANS (-5) San Francisco: I still like the Niners as a playoff team but the window of them being a Super Bowl contender is closing down quickly. Going into New Orleans and getting a win would change my opinion.

BALTIMORE (-9.5) Tennessee

Pittsburgh (-4.5) NEW YORK JETS: I’m going to keep picking against the Jets as long as Vick or Geno Smith is taking snaps for that squad.

TAMPA (+2.5) Atlanta

OAKLAND (+11) Denver

ARIZONA (-7) St. Louis: The Cardinals have now emerged as the best team in the NFC which is just as odd believing as typing.

SEATTLE (-9) New York Giants

Chicago (+7.5) Green Bay

Carolina (+6.5) PHILADELPHIA

Last week: 7-6-0

Season: 68-66-0
