this week before we get to the picks Color Rush Taylor Decker Jersey , just some music for you beautiful beasts and your sinful ways. Let’s get to gambling.Last week’s record: 8-5-1Atlanta -5.5 vs. New YorkThe Falcons represent something disgusting in the NFL: the stench of weakness. A former contender flailing about for the world to see is never endearing and the punishment is often swift and merciless. There is always, however, time for respite, momentary redemption, and that comes in the form of kicking the hell out of the Giants (who are not, at present, a real football team).Indianapolis vs. Buffalo UNDER 43I don’t like being on the wrong side of a hook over a touchdown, so Indianapolis -7.5 makes me itch looking at it. I’ll take a total instead, but just know I like Indianapolis here and have no illusions about the flow of this game.Baltimore vs New Orleans UNDER 50There’s a word for a game like this: Blam. It doesn’t mean anything. There’s no wisdom to it. It’s just something people say. I don’t know who, but I said that people say it so it must be true. I’d rather just pass on the lines in this game altogether because the Ravens and Saints are two hot teams and something will give in this game. Even betting the total doesn’t make me feel confident, but I’m committed to making a pick on every game on the slate.Houston +4.5 @ JacksonvilleOf two moribund AFC South teams struggling to prove who is more dysfunctional, I’m going to take Houston and a fistful of points.Los Angeles -9.5 @ San FranciscoThis line is insanity; the idea of putting down about 10 points for a road favorite is silly. But consider this a desire for comeuppance. Since moving to Los Angeles, all I’ve seen are Golden State jerseys. Maybe with the 49ers in disarray and the Rams ascendant, we’ll see turnabout in the Bay and an invasion of LA loyal. I can’t believe the Rams have caught on the way they have in this city, and I do wonder if the strong crowds will follow them from the accessible and central location of the Coliseum out to Inglewood in a few years—and if the team will still be good enough to draw those crowds as well.New York +3.5 vs. MinnesotaI have no idea why I keep picking the Jets Frank Ragnow Jersey , but I think it’s working out (honestly I can’t even remember if it has). The Vikings backfield is flailing and the Jets, on the flip-side, have a very efficient defense by the numbers. Hook-side of a touchdown is once again where I find myself, and I’m quite comfy there.Cincinnati +6 @ Kansas CityThere’s no reason to ditch faith in Kansas City after a strong showing on Monday night, but the Bengals are a good team catching the Chiefs after heartbreak and short rest. Mark this one closer than you’d think.All the restNew England -3 @ ChicagoWashington vs. Dallas OVER 41.5Carolina +5 vs. PhiladelphiaTampa Bay vs. Cleveland UNDER 50Miami vs. Detroit UNDER 47Los Angeles -6.5 vs. TennesseeArizona vs. Denver OVER 42 It’s not often that a defensive tackle wins the Defensive Rookie of the Year (DROY) award, but it certainly isn’t unheard of. Aaron Donald did it a few years ago, and Ndamukong Suh did it back in 2010. Prior to those two, however, it hadn’t happened since 1994.Detroit Lions fourth-round rookie Da’Shawn Hand isn’t having the type of season Donald or Suh did in their rookie years. Suh had 10.0 sacks his rookie year, while Donald was right behind him with 9.0 in 2014. Hand, on the other... hand, isn’t putting up any eye-popping stats. He has just 19 tackles, 2.0 sacks, and two forces fumbles. Those are still some impressive numbers, but hardly the kind that will draw national attention worthy of winning an award like DROY.However http://www.authenticsdetroitlions.com/cheap-tavon-wilson-jersey , when compared to the rest of the rookie class, Hand deserves to be part of the conversation. Just take a look at the top rookies accoridng to Pro Football Focus’ grades: Hand is just barely behind Derwin James and Leighton Vander Esch, and is the highest-graded rookie defensive lineman in the league. Unfortunately for Hand, he doesn’t have a realistic shot at winning the award for the time being. James (3.5 sacks, 1 INT) and Vander Esch (51 tackles!!) have the traditional stats that will earn them votes at the end of the year. Still, if Hand continues to play this well, it means much more for the Lions than any postseason honors. Lions tight end Michael Roberts has missed every game since the Lions’ Week 2 loss to the 49ers. It looks like he’s itching to get back: Jeff Risdon of Lions Wire thinks the Lions need to make a play for Raiders cornerback Gareon Conley if the young defensive back is truly on the market. Golden Tate played under former Seahawks owner Paul Allen, who passed away on Monday after his battle with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Tate offered his condolences via Twitter late Monday night: Lions owner Martha Ford offered this statement on the passing of Paul Allen: Matt Patricia has really struggled against the Dolphins in Miami, as MLive’s Nate Atkins notes. We’ve talked plenty about the Lions’ struggles to defend the run but they certainly need to improve against the pass, too: This is pretty neat: The Detroit Lions surprised a wedding couple and spiced up their ceremony with Lions cheerleaders, Roary, tickets to the Packers game and sideline passes.
