ADDED GAMES DEC. 13, 2009 NFL Predictions

NO -9.5: Home division dog with revenge (injured) playing a team that is feeling the pressure of staying perfect....also a defense that is not keeping anyone out of endzone. The Saints will have no problem moving the ball around against a beat-up Falcons team without Ryan or Turner. Score: Falcons 18- Saints 44 (3 units). LOSER

HOU -6: Seattle has one road win this year (at St. Louis). Otherwise, they've lost their games away from Qwest Field by 13, 17, 21, 11 and 26. I'll side with the squares and collect the rectangular money to the pay window. Score: Texans 28-Seahawks 18 (3 units). **WINNER**

DEN +7.5: People forget that Manning struggles against the 3-4. The team as a whole hasn't been able to demolish those teams. Against 3-4 clubs, the Colts have victories of 2, 1, 4, 21 and 4 points. While Orton in no way compares to Manning, i'll take the dog needing the win over the favorite already locked into the playoff...i'm just sayin. Score: Broncos 27-Colts 33 (4 units). LOSER

NE -13.5: I don't usually like taking this much chalk, but the Patriots will not be taking this game lightly. The Panthers simply do not have the offensive power to keep up, even in the cold of the Northeast. Score: Patriots 33-Panthers 10 (2 units). LOSER

TB +4: Clemens on the road with the public backing him to the tune of 65%/ the line opened at 3, i like the Buccs in this spot at home. Alltho Freeman debacled my pick last week with redzone INTs, i'll go with them this week. Buccaneers 15-NY Jets 10 (2 units) LOSER

OAK +1: cross country trip for a dejected team. How are the skins going to get up for the Raiders crossing to the left coast? HFA for Oakland, both teams going no where, i'll take the home team. Score: Raiders 18-Redskins 15 (1 unit) LOSER
