CHICAGO BEARS +2 over Green Bay Packers-----Apparently,  with the Packers slightly favored,  some people think the Packers are "supposed" to be good this year.   I think that's questionable.  Packers were +2TO last week---they WON the TO ratio----and still lost to Lions.  Bears are at home here so...........with a Chicago team like Northwestern winning hugely by a score of 29-6 over Penn State favored by 11 AT Penn State,  we'll go with Chicago.(Lose 38-17.........Can't believe Bears would break my 4-team parlay.  Guess its just that Packers have Cobb.)

DETROIT LIONS pk(-105) over New York Jets-----Jets are home here off 2 losses...........some might like them for that reason but.......nah,  Jets haven't proved to be a quality team yet(they only beat the Raiders by 5).   I think the Lions ARE a quality team.   With all those hundreds of flights cancelled yesterday and Friday in Chicago after the Aurora radar facility burned down,   I'll say the Jets stay grounded today.(Win 24-17........Lions +2TO...........Golden Tate 116yds........Stafford 70%)

RAVENS -3 over Panthers------INTTD for Trojans' Su'a cRAVENS last night.   Pitt Panthers lose to Akron yesterday at home as 20.5 pt favorites.(Win 38-10...........Steve Smith 2TD........Torey Smith TD)

HOUSTON TEXANS -2.5 over Buffalo Bills----Home-off-road-loss for Texans............and they got Mohammed on defense.(Win 23-17.............JJ Watt 80-yd IntTD..........Houston was -1TO)

STEELERS -7 over Buccaneers-----Steelers were -3TO vs Ravens in a horrible loss.   Maybe they're not that bad.  We'll see.(Lose 27-24............Steelers lose the game outright.  That's pathetic.  GWTD Vincent Jackson)

COLTS -7 over Titans-----I don't think Titans have shown they can score like the Colts can.(Win 41-17.........Dwayne Allen TD............Colts +2TO)
