Detroit Lions -9 (-110)
I know what happened last week. Everybody knows, and that's why I'm picking the Lions today. They got embarrassed at home on prime time and they have no other choice but to show up today. Forget the player-on player-matchups, forget the insider analysis. This game is a statement game for the Lions and they can't afford to be duds at home two games in a row.
Bucs/Rams Under 43 (-105)
The NFL is a passing game, and these two teams struggle through the air. The Bucs are dead last in passing yards per game while the Rams are 27th. Of course, you still have the run game. But in an over-under, runs eat up the clock and can destroy an over. Take the under.
New England Patriots Pick (-110)
In any sport, when teams come off an emotional or dramatic win, it's hard for them to come back and play well. And if you look at the tape from last week, the Ravens didn't win, the Lions beat themselves! Megatron had some game-changing drops and the Lions offence was lousy. The Ravens on the other hand, didn't even score a touchdown! People were in awe this past week of the great win, but it wasn't. The Pats are banged up and this and that, but this game isn't about the Pats, its about the Ravens.
