It is time again for my weekly NFL picks, as well the scheduled games involving state of Florida college teams.

A 4-2-1 record ATS last week took my season numbers to 28-13-2 against the spread, 21-8 overall. 

Remember, I select the games based on the national telecasts, the Dolphins’ game, and at least one of the doubleheader games on Sunday.  

These selections are for ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.  Don’t forget that wagering is illegal at Bushwood, sir.

Here are my SUPER SEVEN picks this week in the NFL:

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS):

My picks are highlighted.

Thursday

Jets @ PATRIOTS -8 8:30 pm CBS

The reports of the demise of the Patriots were greatly exaggerated.  

Sunday

Dolphins + 3 over BEARS 1:00 pm CBS

I am sticking with the Dolphins, at least for one more week.  Their defense played extremely well against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers last week, and with any luck, and a little bit of better coaching, they would have won that contest.

Seahawks -6 over RAMS 1:00 pm FOX

After a stinker last week, the Seahawks are going to take it out on the Rams this Sunday.   

COLTS -3 over Bengals 1:00 pm CBS

Riding the "Luck" train for awhile longer.     

CHARGERS -4 over Chiefs 4:05 pm CBS

The Chargers are really good.   

BRONCOS -5 over 49ers 8:30 pm NBC

Hard to pick against the Broncos and Payton Manning at home. 

Monday Night

Texans +4  over STEELERS          8:30 pm             ESPN

The Steelers are struggling.  The Texans need a win after falling to the Colts.
