Halfway through this NFL season and the top half of the Degenerate Dozen is bunched up while the bottom half is living on a prayer. Never say never in the world of sports handicapping though.

A short primer to understand the picks: A minus sign (-) next to a team means that team is the betting favorite and must win by more than the point spread. A plus sign (+) next to a team means that team is the betting underdog and can either win or lose by less than the point spread. A total is the overall number of points scored by both teams in the entire game. Betting the "over" means they will score more than the total and betting the "under" means they will score less than the total.

Jim Sorgi (23-12)
Texans -4.5 ("Texans offense can score points, Bills cant.")

Vikings +3 ("As much as i dislike him, a motivated Brett Favre is dangerous.")

Jaguars +3 ("At first i thought the Jags were playing the Jets wearing their throwback NY Titans jerseys.  That was the only thing i could think of as to why the Titans are the favorite in this game.  Tennessee should be the underdog in every game except when they play the Rams, and that should be a pick em.")

Cardinals -10 ("John Fox says he's sticking with Jake Delhomme.  I'm sticking with the team Jake Delhomme throws passes to.")

Falcons at Saints OVER 54 ("I'm officially sold on the saints offense scoring at will right now, if they play the colts in the superbowl, the o/u will be 75, and i'll take the over.")

Joely (23-12)
Jets -3.5 ("The Jets will want a solid win going into their bye, and Miami has to be down after handing the Saints a victory last week.")

Giants +1 ("With Westbrook questionable and McNabb being McNabb, the Giants should be able to win this one on the road.")

Bears -13.5 ("Seems to be the most likely blow-out this week.")

Bills +4.5 ("Buffalo has to make it to the post season so they can get screwed by poor officiating. It is the natural order of things.")

Falcons +10 ("I will be in Atlanta next week, so hopefully this pick brings me good karma.")
