NFL, now available on Thursdays!

Bitter loss to the Colts last week...and somehow, I can't whine about it. It was a competetive game. We played good. We lost, yes, but there was a lot of positives to build upon. I'm just hoping they can keep it up against the Bills this week, in a crucial division game. By now, ya'll know the drill, Week 10 (!) picks sponsored by Longman Publishing:

Denver
@ Cleveland
Thursday night football, exclusively on NFL Network, exclusively on one providers channel list. Brady Quinn will be under center for the Browns this game, as Derek Anderson got benched by the relatively slim Romeo Crennel. And Mike Shanahan seems to be having trouble with everything he didn't have trouble with in the past. Odd. Might be a good game.
Pick: Cleveland -3.0

New Orleans
@ Atlanta
Fresh off their bye-week, the Saints travel to Georgia to battle within the division. I'll take Drew Brees over Matt Ryan in this one, simply because I think New Orleans can outscore the Falcons.
Pick: New Orleans +1.0

Seattle
@ Miami
Seems like Miami is picking up some steam, huh? Roggen must be pleased. Seattle is a team in distress, but this has the feeling of one of those games that will be closer than the spread suggests. Let me take Miami in this one, but I would not put money on it.
Pick: Miami -8.5

Baltimore
@ Houston
Baltimore's D over Houston's O.
Pick: Baltimore -1.0

Green Bay
@ Minnesota
The pack better start getting their shit together if they want to play January ball. Minny had a good win last week, if they can keep it up, they'll be in good shape come tiebreaking procedure time.
Pick: Green Bay +2.5

St. Louis
@ New York
The Rams aren't that bad, and the Jets, well, the jury is still out on them. Show of hands, who had Steven Jackson go in the first round of their fantasy draft? And my congratulations to mr. Favre, 300 interceptions, and still throwing it up for grabs. You sir, are a true American! In Wrangler jeans.
Pick: St. Louis +8.0

Tennessee
@ Chicago
I think someone is getting a lot of credit in this game, and it's not the Titans. This will be a real test for the Bears, and if they can pull this off, well, color me surprised.
Pick: Tennessee -3.0

Jacksonville
@ Detroit
Six-and-a-half for JJ on the road, after their two lackluster performances against shitty teams? Hm. Smells like a grinder. Or a turd. Can't tell the difference at this point. I need a drink. And, I don't like this game, so we'll ask our old friend, the Euro:
The coin says: Jackonsville -6.5

Carolina
@ Oakland
PLAY ANY CAROLINA PLAYER YOU CAN! For fantasy purposes, this is a dream matchup. The Al Davises got shut out last week against the Falcons. How about that? But, we all saw this coming when he stopped taking his meds. Carolina is one of those teams that seems to be flying under the radar, not making too much noise, playing solid football. I know one thing, the NFC Wild Card picture is going to be insane come mid December.
Pick: Carolina -9.5

Kansas City
@ San Diego
Will the Chiefs cover? That is the only question for this game. My hunch, yes they will.
Pick: Kansas City +15.0

No line available for Pittsburgh-Indianapolis yet, probably because of Ben Roethlisberger's shoulder.

New York
@ Philadelphia
Does anybody think New York can repeat?
Pick: New York +3.0

San Francisco
@ Arizona
You guys know I love them Cardinals any time they play division rivals. And Monday Night! Kurt Warner is having an MVP-candidate season, and he will be fighting with Drew Brees for the start in the Pro Bowl. Will we see both of them come January? Arizona has the easiest divison, and might get to the playoffs with an 8-8, while New Orleans is in one of the most competetive divisions in football. Still, Arizona at home.
Pick: Arizona -9.5

Bye: Cincinnati, Dallas, Tampa Bay, Washington

Last week: 5-8

Season: 58-59-4
