Wow, some great games on tap this weekend. Green Bay at Chicago with the points going 2.5 for GB, but predictors seeing 1-4 points for Chicago. Bodes well for a great game, but Chitown being so pitiful lately (where is jackman, can anyone find him, is he okay?) I have to go with the oddsmakes and pick GB, but would not be surprised if the Bears make a showing and actually win the game. N.Y. Giants at Atlanta, I could hardly make a pick here, points go to NYG by 1, my predictors are one going for NYG by 2 and the other Atlanta by 2. Atlanta hasn't beaten anybody this year, not their fault, it's the schedule, but still. I'm going very tentatively for the G-men.Denver at Baltimore seems a clear cut victory for Payton and his new team. Baltimore hasn't shown an ability to hang with the big boys in either defense or offense, and they're pretty banged up. Denver by 3.Indianapolis at Houston with the oddsmakers having it as a blowout by 10, predictors even worse at 13, but I think Luck is coming on and will make it a closer game. The Houston D and O lines with inevitably control the game, but I think Indy may give them all they want for a while.Pittsburgh at Dallas, with the points favoring the Girls by 2 at the start of the week, then the Steel Curtain by 1.5 points, then back to the Cowgirls by a point today, the betters can't make up their minds. The Steelers have owned Dallas this century with four straight wins back to 2000, but they are just too beat up and injured at this point of the season, Dallas by 4.Finally ending Sunday night with San Francisco at New England. Will young Kaepernick come back against the juggernaut Pats? In a word, no. Alex Smith and Tom Brady have nearly identical QB ratings of 104.1 and 104.2, yet Harbaugh in his infinite wisdom will fight Bill Belichick's team with the kid, who has been a bit gun shy lately. I like Harbaugh and they way he's turned the team around, he certainly knows more than me about football, but I might go with the veteran here. NE by 4.
