Halloween came and went and nothing says “excitement” quite like “40 small children of my fellow employees running around in front of my desk, yelling for candy and generally giving me a headache”. Of course, nothing says “hiding a headache” quite like wearing a Tony Stewart jacket, sunglasses, and a Home Depot hat. But, I digress. The point is that the described work conditions forced me to finish this piece on a Sunday. But maybe … just maybe, I will finally be able to pull out a double digit win week in my pick ems. I doubt it, but you never know.

Baltimore Ravens @ Cleveland Browns (-2)
Five or six weeks ago it certainly didn’t seem like the Browns had a chance to be favored at anything, unless “Being Forced to Start Brady Quinn, -755″ counts. They’re still negative in net points and under .500 and behind the Ravens in the division, but there is a whole lotta season left, folks.

Browns -2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-8.5) @ Kansas City Chiefs
As a Panthers fan, I’d love to see Kansas City do some damage here. As a realist, I’m just hoping they can “Tom Brady” Jeff Garcia. Just kidding. Taking out Earnest Graham would be plenty.

Buccaneers -8.5

New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills (-6)
Isn’t it awesome how not only is Deanna Favre like tooooooooooootally the reason Brett has been so good this season, but also that, um, like as mentioned above, Brady went down for the year and the Jets are still the third best team in their division? Perhaps I’m coming off as a little too hateful here, but I just wish people would grow up and admit that everything about this matchup is overrated, except the Bills.

Bills -6
