OUR CAPPERS HAVE YOUR BACK &#8212;&#8211;&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chargers 34, 49ers 7<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If this beatdown surprised you, consider betting on horses instead. The 49ers were artificially propped up by easy matchups heading into this one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chiefs 27, Rams 13<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have to say \u2013 a little disappointed with St. Louis here. It was one thing for Sam Bradford and company to flop the week before in a tough road game at New Orleans but I expected a stronger showing at home to K.C. The Chiefs\u2019 running game dominated again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Panthers 19, Cardinals 12<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How irrelevant was this game? I was at a sports bar with dozens of TVs and every single game was shown live except this one. At least it\u2019s fun to see Jonathan Stewart averaging 100-plus rushing yards every week since he took over the starting job for Carolina.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eagles 38, Giants 31<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia scored 28 points in roughly seven minutes to close out the game; DeSean Jackson became the first player ever to end a game in regulation with a \u201cwalk-off\u201d punt return touchdown. Considering the way Michael Vick marched the Eagles downfield in crunch time, have we spoken too soon about Tom Brady having the MVP award locked up?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lions 23, Buccaneers 20<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Losing to the Lions? At home? Ugh. I suppose the Bucs are finally broken. Too many injuries to their defense. Still, they should look back on 2010 as a success. They exceeded expectations and showed that they\u2019re building a strong nucleus on both sides of the ball.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bengals 19, Browns 17<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It seems the Browns have to play in a naillbiter every week. Colt McCoy\u2019s tidy line (19 of 25, 243 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions) supports the theory that he\u2019ll be their Week-1 starter in 2011.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bills 17, Dolphins 14<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After playing so many teams so close and losing this year, the Bills deserved to win a close one. Miami losing a game it \u201cshouldn\u2019t\u201d have lost just shows how dangerous it can be to bet on divisional rivalry games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cowboys 33, Redskins 30<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was a wild, back-and-forth affair and, while the Cowboys won another one under Jason Garrett, the real story was Rex Grossman. Four touchdown passes for the Sex Cannon? Donovan McNabb visibly rolled in his grave on the sidelines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Colts 34, Jaguars 24<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Against Jacksonville, the Colts showed they learned something from their win over Tennessee after all. Once again, they relied more on the run and, once again, Peyton Manning was less predictable as a result. Indy is still alive.   <a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ynZoy_HV6pUIWCPS6gK2_zj\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"width: auto; height: auto; margin: 3px;\" src=\"http:\/\/media.partners.betus.com\/BANNERS\/football\/sportsbook_football_300x600_mybanner3.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ravens 30, Saints 24<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kudos to Ray Rice; he clearly responded to Ray Lewis challenging the offense and gutted out a 223 all-purpose yards and two scores. He can still be a difference maker.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Titans 31, Texans 17<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When Kerry Collins flies out of the gate to light you up for two scores in the first quarter, you know your secondary is a joke. The Texans need to devote every last resource \u2013 every pick, scout, and penny \u2013 to their pass defense this offseason.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Falcons 34, Seahawks 18<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Why is it that everyone \u201cbelieves\u201d the Patriots\u2019 12-2 record more than the Falcons\u2019? Next Monday night will give Matty Ice and company a nice national stage to prove their legitimacy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jets 22, Steelers 17<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a smashmouth war between two powerhouse defenses, special teams ended up deciding this game. The Jets got six points from their offense, eight points from their kicker, six from their return game and two from a safety.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raiders 39, Broncos 23<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Admit it \u2013 you were at least a bit excited about Tim Tebow even though this game meant nothing for Denver. He ran for 78 yards and a score while throwing for another score. The performance was kinda, sorta vintage Florida, wasn\u2019t it? I\u2019m very curious to see what he does against woeful Houston this weekend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Patriots 31, Packers 27<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another thrilling win for the Patriots but, seriously, we have to start acknowledging that the Patriots\u2019 pass defense could still be a liability in the playoffs. Matt Flynn of all people threw for three touchdown passes on them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bears 30, Vikings 14<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please, Brett. Just stop it. Do you think you\u2019re helping your legacy? You\u2019re not. All you\u2019re doing is showing us how painful it would be to watch our fathers try to survive an NFL football game without getting seriously hurt.\u00a0<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/handicappers\/ray-monohan-sports-picks\/\"><strong>Our In House Capper Ray Monohan has your WEEKLY WINNERS (CLICK HERE) &#8212;&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ykIBNq0O-2GnjyAAP0sk9E5\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">The NFL odds are up on which teams will win the NFL in the 2010\/2011 season!
