Somewhere Pete Rozelle is smiling. Of all the games on the board this weekend, the Colts laying 15 in San Francisco and the Broncos laying 7 at home are the only lines with spreads over 3 points.

I managed to find St Louis -2 1/2 at home against Seattle. This game opened at that number, but quickly went to St Louis -3. I like knowing I can win on a field goal. The Rams swept the Seahawks in three meetings last year and they've beaten them four in a row.

I took Philly -3 @ Dallas, but had to lay -120. The Eagles have pretty much carried me the last three years, so its time to lean on them again. Hopefully McNabb can keep gutting it out, but that Cowboy pass rush will be coming hard all afternoon.

My obligatory TV action is Cincy +3 @ Jax. This might be a trap game. The Jags need it more than the 4-0 Bengals. Also Cincy lost their starting center and backup center last week, so I expect Stroud and Henderson to have big games. I expect the game to go under 37 and almost went that route, but I decided to take the field goal instead.

Philly at -3 is a lock. The Cowboys are really suscpetible in the secondary (particularly over the middle) and with the Eagles throwing it 70% of the time (effectively)... I really think you have to really like their chances to cover.
