NFL Pick of the Week Against the Spread - Betting Lines Week 9

So far this year we have seen the Boston Red Sox make history in two ways, being the first MLB team to come from an 0-3 deficit in a series and win, beating the Yankees to take the ALCS. They furthered that by breaking an 86 year old curse by winning the World Series.
Now the Washington Redskins and the Presidential incumbency spell has been broken.
Redskins lost, Bush won. So much for sports superstitions/curses?!

Two injuries worth taking note of:
Patriots CB, Ty Law, Out for 4-6 weeks (foot).
Jaguars QB, Byron Leftwich, Out (there is rumor of a Nov. 14th return) 4-6 weeks (knee).

Anyway, moving on to the NFL betting lines and ATS (against the spread) standings...
