1. Chicago Bears (-3.5) vs. Sea – Although the Seahawks have played the Bears tough in Chicago in recent years, that won’t be the case on Sunday. Chicago’s D will prove too much for QB Russell Wilson who has struggled on the road all season.

Next

2. New England Patriots (-8) vs. Mia – Before the Seahawks game, QB Ryan Tannehill and the Dolphins were really struggling. That will start again here.

3. Cincinnati Bengals (-1.5) vs. SD – If there’s one thing the Chargers have proven in 2012, it’s that they know how to lose close games. It’ll happen again Sunday against the surging Bengals.

4. St. Louis Rams (+7.5) vs. SF – See money line bet.

Next

Dallas Cowboys (-10) vs. Phi – Dallas has played horribly in 2012 and still are double digit favorites.  And they’ll cover.

Jacksonville Jaguars (+6) vs. Buf – Two games playing with Chad Henne and The Jags nearly beat the Texans and then did beat the Titans.  They could pull a minor upset here but will at least cover the point spread.

New York Giants (-2.5) vs. Was – The Giants have a chance to put some distance between themselves and everyone else in the NFC East. They know how to win these type of games.

Money Line Bet

St. Louis Rams (+280) vs. SF – They should have beaten the 49ers last time in SF.  Now, the 49ers are likely to come out very focused for this one, but, the Rams have been excellent in NFC West games this year and San Francisco has not put together three consecutive strong performances yet in 2012.

Top Pick

1. Chicago Bears vs. Sea – The Seahawks are a poor road team and QB Russell Wilson will be exposed on Sunday against this defense. The Bears offense will do enough to put this one out of reach, while the Bears D will do what it does best: create turnovers and force the Seahawks into mistakes.

Look for an easy win as you advance in your suicide pool.

Next

2. Carolina Panthers vs. KC – The Chiefs are 1-10 for a reason. The Panthers, while only 3-8, have been playing better ball lately and will come away with a W this week.

3. Dallas Cowboys vs. Phi – If Dallas is still available to you, plug them in here. The Eagles have thrown the towel in on the season and Andy Reid‘s fate will be officially sealed in another month. The Cowboys, who have been very ordinary at home in 2012, will roll here.

Top Pick

1. Atlanta Falcons vs. Oak – The Falcons are flying high at 5-0 but their recent wins have been close to the end. The Raiders are coming off a bye week in which they hope to have corrected a number of issues they had to start the season, but even if they have, it’ll only be enough to keep this game close throughout.

The Falcons are very good at home and won’t lose to the Raiders in Week 6.

Next

2. New England Patriots vs. Sea – Yes, the Seahawks are tough at home. And yes, they have a very good defense, but no, they’re not going to beat New England here. Bill Belichick will have a defensive scheme that will confuse and force QB Russell Wilson into mistakes, while offensively, Tom Brady and the Pats have too much firepower for the Seahawks to slow down for four quarters.

Expect a 14-7 to 17-7 outcome.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. KC – The Chiefs come in banged up and playing lousy football, and will have QB Brady Quinn behind center when they travel to Tampa. The Bucs are coming off a bye week and Schiano’s squad will cover the point spread and win this by at least a TD.

1. Dallas Cowboys (-3) vs. Sea – Normally we’d take the Seahawks who are very tough at home, but not this week. Seattle is playing rookie 3rd pick Russell Wilson at QB and he’ll be in for a long day vs. the Cowboys D.

Offensively, there will be a few big plays for Tony Romo and Co. and the Cowboys will cover the point spread with a TD win.

Next

2. Oakland Raiders (-2.5) vs. Mia – The Dolphins are in rebuilding mode and will be at or near the bottom of the league for a while. The Raiders, minus their long snapping woes, will head into Miami and pull out the convincing win on Sunday.

3. Baltimore Ravens (+2) vs. Phi – The Eagles offensive woes are not completely an aberration; Michael Vick is one of the most overrated QB’s in the league and still has trouble reading defenses.

The Ravens D is also substantially better than the Browns. Offensively, the Ravens will put points on the board en route to the 24-17 win.

4. St. Louis Rams (+3) vs. Was – See money line bet.

The Rest

New England Patriots (-13.5) vs. Arz – The Pats will prove far too much for the Cardinals and win 34-10.

San Francisco 49ers (-6.5) vs. Det – If SF turns Detroit one dimensional offensively which they should be able to do, it will force Stafford into mistakes. Look for the 49ers to win by 10.

Denver Broncos (+3) vs. Atl – The Falcons are high powered, but the Broncos are the more complete team and will pull out the close win on the road.

Money Line Bet

St. Louis Rams (+160) vs. Was – RGIII is receiving all sorts of hype in the NFL and rightfully so after his 1st career start, but let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. While he’s very talented, there will be growing pains along the way and the Rams feature a MUCH better defense than the Saints.

Look for the Rams to mix things up better than the Saints did and use their speed on D to create problems for Washington. Offensively, the Rams will struggle to put points on the board, but we see this as a lower scoring game which the Rams pull out by a FG.
