I don't care about point spreads. App St. was a damn good team—a defending national champ in FCS—playing an overrated and undermotivated Michigan team whose coaching staff had no clue about how to stop a spread offense led by an extremely mobile QB.

The Lions—who haven't won a playoff road game since 1957—are led by an injured QB whose career record against winning teams is 4-39. They've got the barest semblance of a running game, a mediocre OL, and few playmakers on either side of the ball.

While the Seahawks are obviously not the dominant team they were when they won the Super Bowl, they're still led by one of the better head coaches in the game—he's gotten them to two Super Bowls—and by a QB who's won more games in his first four seasons than any other NFL QB.

Who do guys like in the NFL games tomorrow?  I like the Lions-Seahawks game to be the over 44 points.   8 points is a lot to cover in the NFL but I can see the Seahawks doing that too.      Raiders - Texans game I'm pretty stuck.  I think sharp betters would take the Raiders, though, at plus 4.
