Dr. Love's Week 9 Picks

Redskins (-3.5)
Ok...so the Redskins got blown out by the best team in the league. So then you only favor them by 3.5 at a team that's 1-7 and starting a new quarterback? Look for the Redskins to bounce back this week and win by at least 7. With the growing pains the Jets are having they'd be better off starting Kirk Cameron at QB then Kellen Clemens. Ok, bad joke...lets move on.

Jacksonville (+3)
The jags have lost to a decent Titans team to open the season and the Indianapolis Colts. The Saints consecutive wins versus the Falcons and 49ers just aren't convincing me they are ready to play with the Jags yet. Give me the points.

Cincinnati (-1)
No explanation on this one. I just like it.

Cowboys (-3)
Sure it's an NFC East matchup (read: unpredictable) and it is in Philly, but when you have a team playing as good as Dallas only giving up 3 points to a team playing as bad as Phillly you lay the points and hope normallcy prevails.

Patriots (-5.5)
Have they lost against the spread yet? Has it even been close? If the Pats have a chance to run up the score on anyone wouldn't they love to do it against the Colts? There are alot of people taking the Colts and I call this Brad Pitt Syndrome. They have something so perfect and stable at home (Pats/Anniston) but it just seems cool to go against the grain and make the trendy selection (Colts/Jolie). When all is said and done, the stable, common-sense choice was the right one all along and you end up all alone and a loser, wondering what you ever saw in that trendy choice anyway.....besides those lucious, full lips...mmmmm. I wish my wife had lips like that Peyton.

Cleveland/Seattle (under 46.5)
I just don't see alot of points being scored. I'm predicting 23-20 Seattle.
