Beating Bill Simmons 2009: Week Nine

It's the final week of the 2009 NFL season and I am three games behind Bill Simmons. This is a hard week to pick because it's hard to tell which teams will be resting their starters. So here goes my best shot (home teams in CAPS, Bill's picks in red):

BILLS (+3) over Colts
Jaguars (+1) over BROWNS
Bears (-3) over LIONS
Falcons (-2.5) over BUCS
Niners (-7) over RAMS
Steelers (-3) over DOLPHINS
VIKINGS (-9) over Giants
PANTHERS (-3) over Saints
Patriots (+8) over TEXANS
Packers (+3.5) over CARDINALS
CHARGERS (-4) over Redskins
Titans (-4.5) over SEAHAWKS
Ravens (-10.5) over RAIDERS
Eagles (+3) over COWBOYS
Chiefs (+13) over BRONCOS
Bengals (+10) over JETS
