I’m off to a pretty bad start with my 2009 NFL picks. I’m the Jamarcus Russell of point spreads. Unlike Russell, I’m not one defensive stand from being perfect on the season. I went 6-9 last week and after two rounds I’m 14-15.
Just under .500 isn’t terrible, it’s the teams I’ve picked. For some reason I thought the Lions could stay within 10 of the Vikings. And the Redskins offense doesn’t look like it could outscore a bad college team by 10 points but I had them stomping the Rams. Hopefully I’ve gotten things straightened out. Like J-Russ, I’m feeling good about myself this weekend.
As always I don’t pick a side in games involving the Philadelphia Eagles. My winners are in bold type.
Tennessee Titans +3 at New York Jets
Jacksonville Jaguars +3.5 at Houston Texans
Cleveland Browns +13.5 at Baltimore Ravens
New York Giants -6.5 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Washington Redskins -6.5 at Detroit Lions
Green Bay Packers -6.5 at St. Louis Rams
San Francisco 49ers +7 at Minnesota Vikings
Atlanta Falcons +4.5 at New England Patriots
Chicago Bears -2.5 at Seattle Seahawks
New Orleans Saints -6 at Buffalo Bills
Miami Dolphins +6 at San Diego Chargers
Pittsburgh Steelers -3.5 at Cincinnati Bengals
Denver Broncos +1.5 at Oakland Raiders
Indianapolis Colts +2.5 at Arizona Cardinals
Carolina Panthers +8.5 at Dallas Cowboys
