The Seer Sees: Week 9 of the NFL
The Seer is rolling with a 57-40 record, good for a 58.8% winning percentage against the spread. What will Week 9 bring?
Giants @ Jets, Giants by 1.5
The Jets are getting better each week, while the Giants may have saved their season last week against the Vikings. The Giants were an offensive dynamo outside the Red Zone last week, but Kerry Collins played like a stiff down by the endzones. This will be a very close game between two teams fighting to stay in the race. The loser's in bad shape in the playoff race.
The Seer Sees: Giants cover
Jaguars @ Ravens, Ravens by 6.5
Byron Leftwich has struggled with throwing too many interceptions this season, and the Jags are currently looking like a team that will have a top three pick in the draft next year. Baltimore hasn't been great this year, but as rookie QB Kyle Boller continues to grow, they could be a dangerous team come playoff time. Still, this is a large spread for a team that features primarily a running offense, and if the Ravens were ever going to look past a game, it would be this one.
The Seer Sees: Jaguars beat the spread
Raiders @ Lions, Raiders by 2.5
What a scintillating matchup this is! The Raiders start to learn whether Marques Tuiasosopop is the QB of the future, while both teams continue to understand that whatever the future holds, it's probably not going to be all that pleasant in the short-term.

Chargers @ Bears, Bears by 2.5
We didn't think we would see the Bears favored against any opponent not from Detroit this season, but here we are. It's a shame that LaDainian Tomlinson's talent is being wasted on the Chargers of 2003, but still, is this team really this bad? Is doesn't seem like they should be, but given the record, and given that they are coming off a short practice week while they still worry about the homefires...
The Seer Sees: Bears cover (!)
Colts @ Dolphins, Dolphins by 3
Griese's in at QB. We don't think it matters. The Dolphins are a fine team, but this spread is too big.
The Seer Sees: Colts beat the spread
Saints @ Buccaneers, Bucs by 8
Can someone, anyone, explain why this spread is so outrageously large? The Saints have been a bad, underachieving unit all year long, but the Bucs aren't exactly at full strength. The lines have been undervaluing the Bucs all year long, but this line's too far the other direction.
The Seer Sees: Saints beat the spread
Redskins @ Cowboys, Cowboys by 4
Ooh, another big spread. The Redskins are in freefall, and the Cowboys are licking their wounds after coming up short in Tampa last week. We like Parcells to outcoach Spurrier.
The Seer Sees: Cowboys cover
Panthers @ Texans, Panthers by 5.5
This is a tough one. The Texans are playing with Tony Banks at QB, and haven't been too bad at home as they ride Domanick Davis's recent hot streak. Still, the Panthers should be able to physically beat up on the outmanned Texans, big spread and all...
The Seer Sees: Panthers cover
Bengals @ Cardinals, Bengals by 3
Bengals favored on the road? Must be in Arizona. But hey, the Cardinals have home wins over the 49ers and Packers this year, so it's not like this is a bye. Jeff Blake gets to play against his old team, while the Bengals try to keep their forward momentum. The Seer thinks the Bengals are a decent team, and that the Cardinals are not a decent team. But the Bengals are still young and on the road, and this could be a bit of a letdown for them.
The Seer Sees: Cardinals beat the spread
Steelers @ Seahawks, Seahawks by 4.5
The Seer is not used to seeing such a mediocre Steelers squad. Not much feeling about this game, other than that the Steelers' secondary has been awful this year, and that's probably not going to change on this day. Still, the Steelers seem better than this, and the season is slipping away fast. They are desperate...
The Seer Sees: Steelers beat the spread
Eagles @ Falcons, Eagles by 4
Two teams the Seer has little regard for in their current states. Call us when Michael Vick returns.
The Seer Sees: The Eagles cover
Rams @ 49ers, Rams by 2.5
Tough call. The Rams are hot, and Marshall Faulk returns at least in limited duty. The 49ers are coming off of a tough and demoralizing loss in Arizona. This Rams team is for real.
The Seer Sees: Rams cover
Packers @ Vikings, Vikings by 4
Favre in a dome with a broken thumb. The Vikings, with their attention focused after a lackluster effort, will work hard to reestablish the run with Michael Bennett's return. The Packers just don't have the players...
The Seer Sees: Vikings cover
Monday Night
Patriots @ Broncos, Broncos by 2
Really? With Danny Kanell and without 2 of their top linebackers? Sorry, that's not what it says here...
The Seer Sees: Patriots beat the spread
