Sunday Picks:

DENVER
NEW ENGLAND
BALTI-LESS
TENNNESSSEEE

Also I'll throw in my "Judicial Notice" lock of the week at no additional charge. In the Battle of the Barbers, Tampa Bay +9.
 
I tend to agree. The NYG/TB line is wayyyy to big. However, I do the Giants will pull it out.
 
I'll take the Fightin' Illini. How can a Ron Zook team be a 22 point underdog...oh wait. And I want to be on an island.
As for Sunday.
Colts
Pats
Saints
Texans (I think I'll miss watching this game)
 
ND (Indy)
NE
NO
10-Nesse

Going with the N's.
Maybe I Can get off the schneid.
 
I'll update the standings after Monday night, but the basic recap is that just about everyone won two of three NFL games, and Snoop, Dave Law, and Maxipriest picked up Mad Dog points as well.
