This one's for you, Coconutman. 
Week 1: 2-3
Week 2: 5-0
Week 3: 3-0
Week 4: 5-0
YTD Record: 15-3
Cincinnatti @ Jacksonville -2.5
I might be the only person on earth (besides my brother-in-law, a Bengals fan with years of simply 'learning the hard way') who believes that Cincy's 4-0 record isn't quite as lustrous as it seems. And Jacksonville, well, not exactly an offensive powerhouse, but they do have that punishing defense. Show me a defense who's been in the top 5 for a few years against a dodgy offensive history, and I'll happily give away less than a field goal's worth of points any day.
Pick: Jacksonville -2.5
Indianapolis @ San Francisco +14.5
So last week the Colts light up the scoreboard, the whole world shouts 'yay, our offensive juggernauts are BAAAACK!' It's good times for all. After all, who doesn't love a team that scores more than Jenna Jameson playing against the pornographic equivalent of George Costanza?!? It's almost CRUEL, they shout! If I lose this one, I'll fire up a re-watch of Debbie Does Dallas. Seeing all that retro-muff will be worse than losing the money. *shudder*
Pick: San Francisco +14.5
New England @ Atlanta -3
You know, have a chat with a barfly or two about the Pats' season thus far and it's almost as though people like that they've been struggling. It's that whole underdog thing. But point out to them that the Pats are the underdogs this week and they get a little smirk across their face as they say the Falcons are going to CRUSH THEM! Oh, yeah, broke guy?? Thanks for the tip.
Pick: Patriots +3
Good luck to all this week! Except you, Coconutman, since I KNOW you're going to fade me!
