As a Jets' fan (commonly known as a lowly Jets' fan), this week's picks present a conundrum -- what do I want to see more: the Dolphins going 0-16 or the Cheaters not going 16-0. Thankfully, I've been bailed out by a 16.5-point spread, which allows me to hedge my bets and take the Fish without rooting for them to win. As to the other picks, they're below:

Home team in caps:

New England 16.5 MIAMI
SEATTLE 9 St. Louis
Indy 3 JAX
DETROIT 2 Tampa

And the dogs:

WVU 24 Miss. St.
WISCONSIN 23 No. Illinois
GA TECH 26 Army
Oklahoma 29 IOWA STATE
Texas 24.5 BAYLOR

I'm going with the Dolphins, Rams, Colts and Bucs. And Army.
BT chooses to ride with the Dolphins, Rams, Jags and Bucs. And No. Illinois.
Budds, meantime, is casting his lot with Miami, Seattle, Indy and Detroit. And Army.
