Damn that was awful. Went down in an inglorious blaze of ineptitude. Seriously could not have done worse.
Sometimes teams are what they are.... Last week I took winless teams that I thought could take a step forward. All remain winless, all in horrific fashion. This week I'm simply betting against teams I think are bad. Of course my picks all being road favorites seems like a recipe for disaster.

Best Bet
Cincinnati Bengals (-4.5) over Cleveland Browns
The battle of Ohio. The Browns circled the wagons in Minnesota and won late with third string QB Brian Hoyer after the trade of RB Trent Richardson. Goes without saying that I think it was only a one week uptick.
Others
Indianapolis Colts (-8.0) over Jacksonville Jaguars
I thought the Jaguars were good enough to cover in Seattle. That was really stupid.
Washington Redskins (-3.5) over Oakland Raiders
Picking a winless NFC East team on the road went so well last week with the Giants that I thought I would try again.
Last Week
Minnesota Vikings (-5.5) over Cleveland Browns LOSS
