[Ed. Note: The sun may be at its lowest point of the year on the Winter Solstice, but Ron hopes to be in the middle of a comeback by then. Updated Tuesday: Ron goes 10-6 this week.]
Thursday Night:
Yes – SAN DIEGO 9 San Francisco
Which Chargers team shows up? I expect that San Diego plays well and the 49ers don’t have Gore, so Chargers to cover.
Sunday:
No – NY GIANTS 3 Philadelphia
New York’s game is better suited to the cold weather this time of year than the Eagles and they should pull this one off.
No – DALLAS 6 Washington
I see the Redskins defense struggling to keep this one close. Cowboys win big.
No – INDIANAPOLIS 5 Jacksonville
I don’t see any way the Colts slow down Jones-Drew. Jags to cover in their biggest game in a while.
Yes – TAMPA BAY 6 Detroit
The Lions defense is playing pretty well. They should keep it close.
Yes – ST LOUIS 3 Kansas City
The Chiefs are a much better team with Cassel playing. If he starts, they should win this one.
No – BALTIMORE 1 1/2 New Orleans
The Ravens pass defense did not look good Monday night. The Saints are playing well and should win.
Yes – CAROLINA 2 1/2 Arizona
Ugh. Both teams will be able to run the ball and neither can throw it. I’ll take the home team here.
Yes – Atlanta 6 1/2 SEATTLE
The Falcons are playing solidly and the Seahawks aren’t consistent enough to trust here.
Yes – TENNESSEE 1 Houston
The Texans are coming off a heartbreaker and on a short week. The Titans should end their skid.
Yes – PITTSBURGH 6 1/2 NY Jets
The Jets are struggling, but the Steelers offense hasn’t been doing all that well. It should stay within a TD.
No – CINCINNATI 1 1/2 Cleveland
The Bengals seem to find a way to lose. Colt McCoy’s return should carry the Browns to a W.
Yes – OAKLAND 6 1/2 Denver
One of those division games that can be tough to gauge, but the Broncos seem to have given up on the season. Raiders to cover.
Yes – MIAMI 6 Buffalo
Six points is too many to favor the Dolphins by. Their offense just hasn’t shown much lately.
No – NEW ENGLAND 9 Green Bay
It doesn’t look good for Aaron Rodgers and that means that the Packers are in trouble in this one. Patriots to continue rolling.
Monday Night:
Yes – MINNESOTA 1 1/2 Chicago
The Vikings QB situation is not good. The Bears to bounce back and win this one.
