Starting early because of Thursday games...

Last Week: 7-7
Season: 86-43
Redskins: 5-3
Against the Spread: 18-17-1 (Last Week 2-2)
Lock of the Week: 4-5 (Last Week 1-0)

Last Week's Pats: Hovering right at .500 the past few weeks, so not a ton to brag about it, although I did correctly predict for the Jets to win outright in Buffalo and I had the Bears as my Lock of the Week (I thought the 9 points they were getting was the most slanted line of the NFL season thus far).

Last Week's Pardons: Apologies to pretty much anyone who won after the 1:00 games last week. I was on a roll early, and then starting with the 4:00 games, I only got one right (including the night games). Picking the Chargers to beat Green Bay was very cute....and very dumb.

This Week's Games:

Oakland at San Diego: I'm not sure what Norv Turner did in his past life, but he must be paying for something...over his career as a head coach his teams have found some of the most baffling ways to lose football games that anyone will ever see. I say his team bounces back this week, but nothing would surprise me.

Chargers 30, Raiders 23
