Not much time for write-ups, and lots of picks. Gonna keep it short and sweet. I still put the same amount of time into the picks, so don't be dissuaded by the short write ups.
BALTIMORE AT TAMPA BAY
1st Half Line: pick 'em, O/U 17
Tampa is giving up just 4 points per home game at halftime. Ravens are scoring less than six at half on the road.
PICK: 1st Half Tampa Bay even (2x)
MINNESOTA AT GREEN BAY
1st Half Line: Green Bay -6.5, O/U 20.5
A very good home team vs. a chit road team. Green Bay is the better team on both sides of the ball. I don't think the Vikes will get shut out at halftime, though, so the over looks good too.
PICK: 1st Half Green Bay -6.5 (3x)
PICK: 1st Half Over 20.5 (2x)
ARIZONA AT CAROLINA
1st Half Line: Carolina -0.5, O/U 20.0
Pretty good road team vs. pretty bad home team. Arizona is 3-3 on the road, Panthers 0-6 at home.
PICK: 1st Half Arizona +0.5 (2x)
BUFFALO AT NEW YORK JETS
1st Half Line: New York -3.5, O/U 18.5
This line puzzles me a bit. I think this is the game that the Jets break out of offensive mediocrity and open up their passing game a bit. They need the practice before the playoffs.
PICK: 1st Half Over 18.5 (3x)
KANSAS CITY AT JACKSONVILLE
1st Half Line: Jacksonville -2.5, O/U 20
A couple of so-so offenses go under a key halftime number.
PICK: 1st Half Under 20 (1x)
ATLANTA AT MIAMI
1st Half Line: Miami -3.5, O/U 19.0
I don't think Miami should be a 3.5 point halftime favorite against anyone right now. Falcons are outscoring opponents 73-51 at halftime of their road games.
PICK: 1st Half Atlanta +3.5 (2x)
PITTSBURGH AT CINCINNATI
1st Half Line: Pittsburgh -4, O/U 17.0
The Bengals are averaging just over 4 points at halftime when at home. I don't see them raising that number this week. The Pittsburgh/Detroit debacle raised this line just high enough to make it worth while.
PICK: 1st Half Under 17 (1x)
SAN FRANCISCO AT DALLAS
1st Half Line: San Francisco -3, O/U 20.0
The 49ers have been so-so on the road thus far. Dallas has no home field advantage the way they've been playing, averaging about 4.5 points at halftime of home games.
PICK: 1st Half Under 20 (1x)
OAKLAND AT DENVER
1st Half Line: Denver -0.5, O/U 19.5
Denver has been a good home team, and Oakland has been slumping. Denver has owned Oakland in the past. In fact, is there a good reason to take Oakland here? How about the fact that they're still the better team, and their run defense has shown much improvement. Plus, they're getting the half point, so we win on a tied score.
PICK: 1st Half Oakland +0.5 (1x)
WASHINGTON AT NEW ORLEANS
1st Half Line: New Orleans -2.5, O/U 20.0
The Saints offense isn't enough to blow out Washington's offense. I'm hoping the Saints defense plays much better than last week.
PICK: 1st Half Under 20 (1x)
Good luck.
