Saturday

I was posting threads on games for the entire NFL season about 15 years ago in the Sports forum. Did it for several years.

Favorite / Spread / Underdog (Home team in CAPS)

L.A. Rams / 10.5 / CAROLINA
Green Bay / 1.5 / CHICAGO

Buffalo / 1 / JACKSONVILLE
PHILADELPHIA / 5.5 / San Francisco
NEW ENGLAND / 3.5 / L.A. Chargers

Houston / 3 / PITTSBURGH

------------------------

I'll take all the favorites to beat the spread except for the Rams. They'll win the game but 10 1/2 pts is too much to give IMO.
