Out of those picks the two that I'd question you on are:
Giants +4 against the Panthers. Giants are at home, and Eli was on point last week, but Carolina looked really good against Atlanta. The Giants defence is pretty suspect, and if Norman can neutralize OBJ, I don't think the rest of the Giants weapons do much to scare anyone.
Raiders to cover 3 points against Green Bay would have me leery too. Raiders are a team that seems to struggle with success and that win over Denver last week may skew how they had been playing lately. With McCarthy back in charge of calling plays, I think Green Bay is going to score more than they have been. Again, more feeling based than fact.
The odds on Pittsburgh for the Superbowl look pretty good. To me their biggest hurdle is going to be making the playoffs. But I don't think both the Jets and Chiefs will win out. One of those teams will screw up and lose a game. Once the Steelers get into the playoff picture, I think those odds will come down.
