Oakland at San Diego (-10)

Oakland is historically bad in all facets of the game. Lose this game and that makes 16 in a row, but it’s a divisional game on the West Coast against a team who is really struggling even off the bye. The Chargers get Ryan Mathews back from injury, which should bolster their run game enough to keep the pass rush off Phil Rivers. Oakland played San Diego tough in the game at Oakland earlier this year, losing 31-28, so maybe they keep this divisional game close or backdoor the cover.
THE PICK: Raiders (+10)
Detroit at Arizona (-2)

Drew Stanton or Matt Stafford? We’ll bet on the latter quarterback and take our chances there. Detroit boasts the #1 overall ranked defense in football, which will make life tough for Drew Stanton as the Cardinals will not be able to run the ball against Ndamukong Suh and that Lions’ front seven.
THE PICK: Lions (+2)
New England at Indianapolis (-3)

What a great game this one is. The savvy veteran in Tom Brady against the up-and-coming face of the NFL in Andrew Luck square off in Indianapolis. Both teams are off byes so both teams should be prepared and rested. This game is important for AFC home field advantage going forward so we’d expect a top notch effort from Luck and the Colts.
THE PICK: Colts (-3)
Pittsburgh (-5.5) at Tennessee

Can the Steelers really lose two games in a row to really bad football teams? Crazy stat that may mean nothing but is good to hear is that the Steelers own the best record on Monday Night Football all-time at 25-5. Tennessee quarterback Zach Mettenberger hasn’t shown much in his two starts to warrant backing the Titans. We’d rather put our money in the hands of Big Ben and a bounce back from the Steelers.
THE PICK: Steelers (-5.5)
Best of luck!
