CHALKS & amp; 'DOGS | Pro picks

Colts (-3) at Patriots: It's a measure of New England's decline that Indianapolis is a favorite Monday night in Foxborough, which has been a house of horrors for them recently. But Peyton Manning? He's 0-7 in New England. COLTS, 24-13
Philadelphia (+3) at Washington: Two teams that lost last week by a combined 64 points. The Eagles are a mystery. The Redskins are overrated. EAGLES, 24-16
Atlanta (- 21/2) at Miami: More than half the road teams are favored this week. The Falcons are probably one that shouldn't be.
DOLPHINS, 21-20
Carolina (- 11/2) at Tampa Bay: The home guys opened as favorites. Then the road money came in. PANTHERS, 16-11
Chicago (-3) at New Orleans (Baton Rouge): The Bears are doing what they have to do -- playing defense and running. BEARS, 17-13
San Diego (- 61/2) at New York Jets: Logical road favorite against a team with no real QB. CHARGERS, 34-13
Pittsburgh (Off) at Green Bay: The Steelers were favored by six. Went off for Ben Roethlisberger's knee questions, and now he's out. But Steelers will run. STEELERS, 16-13
Cincinnati (-3) at Baltimore: And more. BENGALS 21-16
New York Giants (-10) at San Francisco: And again, even if the Giants have an inevitable letdown after two emotional wins. GIANTS, 29-16
Seattle (-41/2) at Arizona: And yet again, although Seattle is rarely at its best away from home. SEAHAWKS, 27-23
Oakland (+41/2) at Kansas City: The scoreboard could resemble a pinball machine. CHIEFS, 38-33
Detroit (-11/2) at Minnesota: One road favorite that probably shouldn't be, even with Brad Johnson for Daunte Culpepper. VIKINGS, 20-16
Houston (+131/2) at Jacksonville: No road favorite here. JAGUARS, 20-10
Tennessee (+3) at Cleveland: Browns bounce back? BROWNS, 17-16
XLast week: 4-10 (spread) 9-5 (straight up); Season: 47-67-2 (spread) 72-44 (straight up)
