Difficult to give up 9.5 understanding any large lead will result in starters getting rested late in the 4th quarter, allowing underdogs to score points in garbage time. Particularly in this instance too -- I see Ryans and LaFleur giving Stroud and Love confidence-building green lights to rack up as many TDs as possible. What to do, what to do?

Baltimore will cover. It's a Harbaugh thing IMO (never let up). San Francisco will not cover but will win. Detroit is playing with more intensity and will win by a TD. Kansas City has superman Mahomes. My picks:

BALTIMORE
Green Bay (S.F. wins)
DETROIT
Kansas City (K.C. wins)

Anyone else?

Last week I was 4-2: lost the Dallas/G.B. game and Philly/Tampa.
