Pick: Bills
Bengals (6-3) at Ravens (6-3)
Line: Ravens -7 (O/U 40.5)

Pick: Bengals
Jaguars (3-6) at Browns (3-6)
Line: Jaguars -1 (O/U 34)
The Scoop: Browns are winless ATS (0-3-2) in their last five games. Both teams stink, but the Jags do less.

Pick: Packers
Cowboys (504) at Redskins (3-6)
Line: Cowboys -8 (O/U 41.5)
The Scoop: Washington is 0-5 ATS?in their last five and it’s not like they’ve been favored then either.
Pick: Cowboys
Sunday, 4:05 p.m.
Cardinals (3-6) at 49ers (8-1)
Line: 49ers -10 (O/U 41)

Sunday 4:15 p.m.
Chargers (4-5) at Bears (6-3
Line: Bears -4 (O/U 45)
The Scoop: The Chargers have been quite the enigma this season — even more than usual. While the Bears have been on an unbelievable roll. The history isn’t good for the Bolts either. They are 2-9 ATS in their last 11, 1-5 in their last six on the road and 1-4 in their last five againt the Bears.
Pick: Bears
Sunday, 8:20 p.m.
Eagles vs. Giants
Line: Giants -4.5 (O/U 46.5)
Key injuries: QB Mike Vick (ribs) questionable. WR Jeremy Maclin (shoulder) questionable. S Nate Allen (concussion) probable. LB?Michael Boley (hamstring) questionable. RB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) questionable.
The scoop: We would love to break down the spreads and what they mean for this game, but that would be all dependent on who plays quarterback. If the line isn’t off-the-board you will see the Giants as a small favorite. It appears like Mike Vick won’t play with two fractured ribs, but we don’t know for sure. If Vick doesn’t play you have to like the Giants here, at home, against a division rival they would love to put down for the season.
Pick: Giants
Monday, 8:30 p.m.
Chiefs (4-5) at Patriots (6-3)
Line: Patriots -14.5 (O/U 46.5)
The Scoop: Talk about a big spread. Generally our feeling is you always should go with a team that is getting more than two touchdowns. The NFL just isn’t a blow-out league like you get in college. Then again, usually your starting quarterback isn’t Tyler Palko. The Pats really should roll in this one.
Pick: Patriots
College Football

Ok. State (10-2) at Iowa State (5-4)

Clemson (9-1) at NC State (5-5)
