The Bengals failed to cover the 14-point spread

Washington Redskins. 24
Philadelphia Eagles. 27
Another baffling coaching decision by Andy Reid almost cost the Eagles a win. Underestimating the Redskins, the Eagles opened the game with an onside kick but it backfired as the Redskins recovered and scored an opening TD less than two minutes into the game. The teams went back and forth until David Akers kicked a game winning FG with 1m48 remaining in the game.

The Falcons failed to cover the 13-point spread

Jacksonville Jaguars. 3
San Francisco 49ers. 20

Chicago Bears. 10
Minnesota Vikings. 36
If the Brett Favre for MVP rallies hadn’t already started in Minnesota, they will be in full swing after the old man threw for almost 400 yards and 3 touchdowns.

The Bears dropped to 4-7 and the Vikings moved to 10-1 on the season.
The Vikings covered the 11-point spread

Dixon’s lone mistake came in overtime as the Ravens Paul Kruger intercepted a pass, which set up Billy Cundiff for a 29-yard game winning field goal by.
The Ravens failed to cover the 8-point spread
