I’m trying to go out big with my NFL picks since this is the end of the regular season, 2009, and the Aughts. I need four wins to finish above .500 and this is by no means a lock. I went 7-8 last week moving my overall record to 110-103-4. I was average and I’d be down just over $300 if I was playing with a bookie.

Picking up the wins isn’t gonna be a little harder than usual this week. Some of the teams that are resting for the playoffs look like ridiculous underdogs but Vegas knows what they’re doing. I don’t have a clue.

As always, I don’t pick sides in games involving the Philadelphia Eagles (Until the playoffs). My winners are in bold type.

Indianapolis Colts +7 at Buffalo Bills

New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers (OFF)

Jacksonville Jaguars +1.5 at Cleveland Browns

Chicago Bears -3 at Detroit Lions

New England Patriots +8 at Houston Texans

Pittsburgh Steelers -3 at Miami Dolphins

New York Giants +8.5 at Minnesota Vikings

Cincinnati Bengals +10 at New York Jets

San Francisco 49ers -7.5 at St. Louis Rams

Atlanta Falcons -2.5 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Green Bay Packers +3.5 at Arizona Cardinals

Kansas City Chiefs +13 at Denver Broncos

Baltimore Ravens -10.5 at Oakland Raiders

Washington Redskins +3.5 at San Diego Chargers

Tennessee Titans -4.5 at Seattle Seahawks
