$400 Raiders +8.5

So many picks I like this week that putting them in any kind of order is difficult... usually means it's a more expensive week of course [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Anyway, I can't think of fantastic reasoning for this pick other than 8.5 points looks like a lot of points and if the Raiders find a way to score, say, three points then they should have a strong chance of covering [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

$300 Dolphins pk

Have to love this pick. The Chiefs on the road are capable of performing terribly, although they have certainly improved that aspect a little. The Dolphins have obviously spent their bye week doing research, and I'd be happy that they spent more time working out how to beat the Chiefs than they spent on the Bears, as it must have felt like a more winnable game.
Also, I believe that the Chiefs have been getting reasonably lucky recently and have not performed as well as results might suggest.

$200 Cards +7

I think this is a battle of underrated vs overrated with underrated at home. I'll be backing the Cards on the moneyline today.

$100 JETS +10.5

Last week was the first time in a while that I haven't opposed the Pats, and I've been convinced that they are better than I first thought, however the Jets are capable of some good performances and the Pats don't seem hell bent on destroying people.

For the record, I also considered the Saints and Texans.
