Brutal best bet loss with Matt Ryan throwing a pick on fourth and goal from the 1 and Matt Bryant missing a 47 yards field goal both within the final 6:38 of a 3 point win. Chargers were swamped at home by the Raiders. Mike McCoy's seat has to be getting very hot. Only turnover machine Matt Cassel saved me from a winless week even though the Giants tried hard to not accept Cassel's generous gifts.
Had a tough time this coming week, am not thrilled with any of my picks. Maybe that is a good sign since I loved last week's selections. Did go for a dog for the first time this season.

Best Bet
Arizona Cardinals (-5) over Cleveland Browns
When in doubt go back to Bruce Arians. Uncertainty at QB position for Browns shouldn't matter to Cards, will probably help.
Others
Seattle Seahawks (-6) over Dallas Cowboys
Seahawks seem to have gotten their shit together. Boys' inability to recover from loss of Tony Romo and Dez Bryant after letting DeMarco Murray walk not a shocker. Thinking replacing Brandon Weeden with Matt Cassel would result in an improvement a non sequitur.
Detriot Lions (+5) over Kansas City Chiefs (in London)
A hunch based on nothing really. Just got nothing better. I certainly don't think the elevation of Jim Bob Cooter from quarterback coach to offensive coordinator after the firing of Joe Lombardi, Jeremiah Washburn and Terry Heffernan is going to make any difference. Do gotta love the name Jim Bob Cooter.
Last Week
Atlanta Falcons (-4.5) over Tennessee Titans LOSS
San Diego Chargers (-4) over Oakland Raiders LOSS
New York Giants (-3.5) over Dallas Cowboys WIN
