Spiral Notes

By Jeremy
Last Week: Shitty
Against-the-spread: awful
Season total: Bad
Season ATS: Worse
Lock-of-the-week: 1 and fucking 3
Fine. Fine. Fine. I was 2 and 11 last week. Are you happy? My confidence is rattled like never before. In fact, if you're a gambler, I recommend doing the opposite of everything I say. Because while 2-11 may be historically shitty, 11-2 can make you some money.

Chicago(3-1) -3 at Carolina(0-4)
The Julius Peppers Bowl. Also: Who cares? Bears 35, Panthers 34
Atlanta(3-1) -3 at Cleveland(1-3)
Its my Take-it-to-Wendover-Lock-of-the-Week: Falcons 17, Browns 2
Green Bay(3-1) -3 at Washington(2-2)
Another imperfect win for GB. Pack 39, Washington 29
St. Louis(2-2) at Detroit(0-4) -3
Its the Toilet Bowl. Loins 16, Rams 13
Kansas City(3-0) at Indianapolis(2-2) -9
Its a little early for those cranky fuckers in Miami to be popping the champagne, but: Colts 24, Chefs 14
Denver(2-2) at Baltimore(3-1) -7
The Broncos aren't good, but they are interesting. Baltimore was ranked #1 this week in the Jeremy power poll that I keep threatening to publish. Ravens 37, Broncs 24
Tampa Bay(2-1) at Cincinnati(2-2) -7
Carson Palmer has been a disaster all year, but their defense + TO + Ocho has bailed them out. Bengals 35, Buccs 26
Jacksonville(2-2) -2 at Buffalo(0-4)
Ugg. Jags 31, Bills 21
NY Giants(2-2) at Houston(3-1) -3
A team that has played crisply every game, at home against a team that has been Parowan Rams-level sloppy each week. Texans 17, Giants 8
New Orleans(3-1) -7 at Atlanta(2-2)
Fuck the Cardinals, although Max Hall is starting already, pretty fast for an undrafted QB. Utah fans have to love that. Saints 28, Falcons 21
Tennessee(2-2) at Dallas(1-2) -7
Who knows what to expect from either of these teams. Boys 27, Titans 15
San Diego(2-2) -7 at Oakland(1-3)
I have SD and Seattle figured out already. Bet with them at home, and against on the road. Bolts 34, Raiders 31
Philadelphia(2-2) at San Francisco(0-4) -4
A real hum-dinger for Sunday Night Football. Hey Ute fans, in case you haven't seen a Niner game in six years: Alex Smith is shitty. I don't care if he looks just like Cody, or even a little bit like me. Niners 37, Eagles 30
Minnesota(1-1) NY Jets(3-1) -4
Its the Brett Favre's junk bowl. Jets 28, Vikes 18
