I tried doing this for real back in the eighties. I wrote a computer program and used statistics to see if I could pick games v the spread. It was only so-so, so I gave it up. Based upon this guys' picks, how would I pick em, the same or different? Let's see.
CHIEFS -9 v Bills, 24-14
Yeah, I think the Chiefs will cover.
Minnesota (plus 4) at New England BEST BET: PATRIOTS 30-10
I agree, but not necessarily a blow out. Pats to cover.
Seattle (plus 1 1/2) at Oakland UPSET SPECIAL: SEAHAWKS, 21-20
Raiders could be turning the corner. Raiders to cover. I don't agree with this one.
Pittsburgh (pick-em) at New Orleans STEELERS, 21-20
Steelers should win this one easily.
Washington (plus 1) at Detroit LIONS, 17-13
I'm not a believer in the Lions. I'll take the skins and the point.
Houston (plus 6) at Indianapolis, Monday night COLTS, 30-23
This could be the football equivalent of the Thrilla in Manila. I think the Texan can beat the Colts and will beat the spread at least. Taking the points.
Green Bay (plus 4 1/2) at N.Y. Jets JETS, 24-20
He's picking the Jets to win, but not to cover. I'll say the Jets will cover.
Carolina (plus 3) at St. Louis RAMS, 21-10
The Rams are another team turning the corner. Easy win for Rams, will cover.
Miami (plus 1) at Cincinnati DOLPHINS, 19-17
Dolphins are dogs in this one?! Take the point.
Tampa Bay (plus 3 1/2) at Arizona CARDINALS, 20-17
Cards to cover. Just to disagree, I suppose.
San Francisco (pick-em) vs. Denver at London BRONCOS, 27-14
Good thing this is in London. Improves the air quality over here. I'll take the Broncos.
Tennessee (plus 3 1/2) at San Diego TITANS, 23-19
The Titans are looking good. Take the points.
Jacksonville (plus 7) at Dallas COWBOYS, 20-14
Dallas won their Superbowl at Reliant. The rest of the season can't come soon enough. Take the points.
