Things looked bleak early. The Cowboys were down 21-0. The Eagles down 17-7. The Giants looked like the Keystone Cops with a fumble by Larry Donnell in the red zone and botched snap on a field goal. Then the Eagles climbed back to lead at halftime. The Cowboys began to rally. Even Eli Manning and the Giants started to look like an NFL team. The future was so bright, I had to wear shades. Alas after taking a 10 point lead in a back-and-forth struggle the Eagles gave up a touchdown with just over 4 minutes remaining. They still won, just couldn't cover. So this week two out of three is bad because the only loss was my best bet.
Tough week with six teams on bye.

Best Bet
Indianapolis Colts (-7.5) over Tennessee Titans
I hate this line. I hate the Whisenhunt led Titans more.
Others
Atlanta Falcons (-3.0) over Minnesota Vikings
This is a trap. Falcons stink on the road especially outdoors. If they are ever going to win a game outside this looks like the spot to me.
Houston Texans (-3.0) over Buffalo Bills
This is a gamble on coaching. I have faith in Bill O'Brien turning things around quickly returning home after a mistake filled loss in the Meadowlands. I don't have the same kind of belief in Doug Marrone.
Last Week
Philadelphia Eagles (-6.5) over Washington Redskins LOSS
Dallas Cowboys (-1.5) over St. Louis Rams WIN
