CHALKS 'N DOGS Pro picks



New York Jets (+ 61/2) at New England: Is this the week the Patriots' streak ends? The spread conveys some skepticism about the Jets. The Jets can keep it close. Most teams that play the Patriots do. They just don't win. PATRIOTS, 27-23
Jacksonville (+ 91/2) at Indianapolis: The Colts won in Jacksonville, are rested and have too much firepower for the Jags' late-game heroics. COLTS, 34-20
Denver (- 51/2) at Cincinnati: The Bengals played well enough last season to get their first Monday night game in a dozen years. They won't be back for a while. BRONCOS, 27-13
Philadelphia (- 7) at Cleveland: The third unbeaten team remains so. EAGLES, 31-13
Tennessee (+ 7) at Minnesota: Injuries and salary cap problems are costing the Titans. Even if Randy Moss doesn't play. VIKINGS, 34-23
Detroit (+ 61/2) at New York Giants: Two pleasant surprises, although the Lions let down at home against the Packers last week. GIANTS, 23-13
Dallas (+ 3) at Green Bay: Can the Packers lose a fourth straight at Lambeau? PACKERS 20-16
Atlanta (+ 4) at Kansas City: If Vick was a little more familiar with his new offense ... CHIEFS, 23-20
San Diego (+ 3) at Carolina: Everything has gone wrong for the Panthers this season. CHARGERS, 19-14
Seattle (- 7) at Arizona: If the Seahawks can't stop the bleeding here, it won't stop. SEAHAWKS, 34-10
Chicago (+ 6) at Tampa Bay: Craig Krenzel, who could play for the Bears if Jonathan Quinn falters, was a nice college QB. BUCS, 20-3
St. Louis (- 61/2) at Miami: Southern Cal would give 61/2 against the Dolphins. RAMS, 24-6
New Orleans (+ 3) at Oakland: Kerry Collins should get more time to throw this week. RAIDERS, 27-26
Buffalo (+ 6) at Baltimore: No Jamal, so the Bills keep it close again. RAVENS, 11-6
XLast week: 5-9 (spread), 6-8 (straight up); season: 46-40-2 (spread), 59-29 (straight up)
