Not made any solid decisions on any games yet.

At first glance there are 4 that seem to have value:

Bengals over Eagles
Packers over Bears
Vikings over Redskins
Patriots over 49ers

Even these need closer inspection before any final decision.

Chack back for line changes and anything worth noting on this weekends games.
