Week 10 NFL Lockdown and Miscellaneous Statements

Lock of the week - Green Bay +2.5 at Minnesota. Something is fishy about this line, and that scares me. But with Jared Allen out and the road team being 10-3 against the spread in the last 13, I'll take the team I already thought was better.

Baltimore +1 at Houston. I don't want to gynx this, but Baltimore has quietly become 6-2 against the spread and a decent road team. While Joe Flacco appears to be coming into his own, look for the Ravens to run the ball well today. They've been averaging 150 yards/game and Houston is giving up 126. Meanwhile, Baltimore is only giving up 64. That's a recipe for success. If Rosenfels gives up the ball, this game is over.

Atlanta -1 vs New Orleans. New Orleans' defense blows. I like Atlanta, have all year. Michael Turner and Matt Ryan will have another big day.

Quick Notes:
Joe Flacco is a golden god
The Giants are the #1 team, not the Titans. (I'll be starting my own BCS-type rating system soon for the NFL)
ACC college football stinks.
I'm setting the over/under on Deangelo Hall personal fouls for the rest of the season with the skins at 4.
Ben Roethlesberger will be forced to miss significant playing time this year if they let him start this week. Not that the Colts will do it, but the Steelers should let him rest his arm. If they keep throwing him out there, he's going to dislodge it or worse. Fingers crossed!
Note to Hank Baskett, when the 82 year old ex boyfriend of your fiance is going to be giving her away at the wedding (which will be held at his house!), you might want to reconsider.
