Writer | Comment |

Erickson | God, I hate making the Giants my best bet, because I don't think that they're as good as their record suggests. But then again, the Steelers have similar flaws, and the line is treating them as a better team than the Giants, i.e., it should be only three-points. |
Pianowski | It's not a major edge, but Chicago not spotting the straight three at home against a similar opponent - perhaps a weaker one - sure seems like an error. Air Barkley, baby. |
Liss | I think the Seahawks will roll at home after the bad loss at Tampa, and the Panthers just look checked-out this year. I also like the Saints to blow out the Lions at home. |
Stopa | Philly strikes me as much better than an injury-ravaged Bengals squad that has nothing to play for. The Packers line seems inflated coming off perhaps their best game of the year. |
Del Don | I'm sure I'm buying high here, and they are playing on a short week, but I like the Packers to cover here at home, as I keep fading Brock Osweiler. I'm tired of betting against Aaron Rodgers. |
