Stats Week 9: Winners - 9 and 5 Spread - 3 and 11 Since Week 5: Winners - 43 and 27 Spread - 22 and 48 Doctor Dart's Line - Week 10 USA TODAY Line - 11/5/85 Steelers by 4.5 over Chiefs Chiefs by 1.5 Seahawks by 7 over Saints Seahawks by 6 Vikings by 6.5 over Packers Vikings by 5 Oilers by 6.5 over Bills Oilers by 2.5 Rams by 3 over Giants Giants by 3 Browns by 1.5 over Bengals Bengals by 2 Cards by 7 over Bucs Cards by 3 Bears by 9.5 over Lions Bears by 11 Patriots by 4 over Colts Patriots by 9.5 Eagles by 7.5 over Falcons Eagles by 9 Cowboys by 6 over Redskins Cowboys by 2 Raiders Pick'em over Chargers * Raiders by 2.5 Jets by 5.5 over Dolphins Dolphins by 3 Niners by 3 over Broncos Niners by 2.5 * Raiders favored by 0.02 points NOTE: At the beginning of the season, I decided to have the computer use 50% of it's rating from the last 3 games a team has played and the other 50% from the teams season totals. As you can see, my point spreads haven't worked out too well using this method. Beginning with this week, I have gone back to the way it was done last year by using only the season totals for each team. Hopefully, the spreads will be better from here on in. Last year, the computer was making the spread slightly better than 50% of the time.
