Chris Berman has taken his Swami Sez NFL picks segment seen on SportsCenter to ESPN Chalk. Each week during the NFL regular season, hell give his favorite picks against the spread here with a little further analysis.Season record:?18-4 ATS (last week: 4-1)Cincinnati Bengals at Dallas CowboysTheres a lot of excitement in Dallas, starting with the Texas Rangers in the playoffs, the annual Texas-Oklahoma game in college football and culminating in the Cowboys home game Sunday. Each week, this Dallas team seems to improve, and Ezekiel Elliott and this offensive line are starting to click. I have plenty of respect for Cincinnati, but with Tyler Eifert still out, I think Dallas has enough at home to beat a very good Bengals team.Score: Dallas 23, Cincinnati 20Houston Texans at Minnesota VikingsWithout Adrian Peterson, Teddy Bridgewater and tackle Matt Kalil, any Vikings fan should be over the moon with a 4-0 start. The run has included wins over Green Bay, Carolina and the New York Giants Monday night. Do they finish this run with a crescendo heading into their bye? All credit to Minnesotas defense, but I think Houston can go head-to-head in the trenches and keep this one close, even without J.J. Watt. Minnesota wins a close one.Score: Minnesota 20, Houston 17Philadelphia Eagles at Detroit LionsI generally dont like to take road favorites, especially ones with a rookie quarterback. However, Andy Reid has always been great off of byes, and since Doug Pederson coached under him in Kansas City, Im going to bank that Pederson will have a good game plan for this one. Plus, Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz (former Detroit head coach) returns to face the team that fired him. He ought to know what makes Matthew Stafford nervous, and hell cook up something here to stifle that offense. Eagles keep it rolling.Score: Philadelphia 23, Detroit 17Tennessee Titans at Miami DolphinsNeither team seems to have much going this season, but DeMarco Murray has played well, and I think Tennessees running game will use the clock and keep this one close. Ill take the head start with the points.Score: Tennessee 20, Miami 19Buffalo Bills at Los Angeles RamsIn a game where neither team reaches 20, Ill again take the points. Tyrod Taylor looked good last week against the Patriots, and Buffalo did what it had to do -- just enough to win the game. Im also assuming the Bills arent so thrilled with themselves that they forget they still have work to do, because this Los Angeles defense is very good. Ill be keeping an eye on the injuries to LeSean McCoy and Marcell Dareus, but I like the Bills in this one.Score: Buffalo 19, Los Angeles 18 Womens Astros Jerseys . "We have always prided ourselves on the way we play defence. Having two big pieces back is going to be a key for us moving forward for years to come," said Knighthawks head coach Mike Hasen.

Newcastle dominated in the early stages but City weathered the storm and then raised its game in extra time. Negredo broke the deadlock from close range after a simple move in the 99th minute before Dzeko took the ball round goalkeeper Tim Krul to seal the victory in the 105th.SAN DIEGO -- Chad Tracy has two hits in 18 days. The last one cleared the veterans troubled mind. The pinch hitter slammed a game-winning home run in the 10th inning to give the Washington Nationals a 6-5 victory over the San Diego Padres on Friday night. Tracys heroics at Petco Park negated a blown save by Nationals closer Rafael Soriano, who gave up two runs with two outs in the ninth. It made a quality start from Gio Gonzalez and a two-home-run night from first baseman Adam LaRoche stand up, and reclaim a victory that seemed so certain early on. "That one added a few grey hairs," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "It seemed like we had that one sewn up neat and it got away from us there at the end. Im happy the way it turned out and happy that Chad was able to get the job done." Tracy has owned the Padres as a pinch hitter. His seventh career pinch-hit home run was his fifth against the Padres and his third straight. Tracy is still hitting .162, but the home run did wonders for his mentality. "We were all fired up, myself included," Tracy said. "As a pinch hitter going through some struggles, you stay up at night in the hotel, thinking about them until youre next at-bat. The frustration builds and builds, and finally you just have to let it all go. Typically, thats when things can turn around." Things have certainly turned around for LaRoche. The first baseman extended his hitting streak to 14 games with a three-run shot 431 feet to deep centre in the fourth and hit his second 403 feet in the sixth inning. LaRoches second blast followed Ryan Zimmermans home run, which just cleared the right-field wall. It was LaRoches 21st multi-homer game, his second this season and a sign that his early season slump is over. LaRoche hit .189 over his first 25 games, but has batted .396 during his hitting streak, which includes four home runs, two doubles and 11 RBIs. "Adams issues have been dispelled," Johnson said. "He had a great night tonight, but hes been on fire for a couple weeks now. Its been impressive to watch him hit like his able to." Tracys home run came off Padres closer Huston Street (0-3), who has allowed six home runs in 17 1-3 innings. He gave up two in 39 innings last season. "With Huston or any pitcher, if you get a ball up in the strike zone, he has a chance to get hit," Padres manager Bud Black said. "If they square it up, it has a chance to leave the ball park. Has it happpened to Huston a few times? Yes.dddddddddddd. Am I concerned? No." The Padres tied the game with three straight singles. Chase Headleys RBI made it 5-4 and Yonder Alonso pushed him to third with another single. Kyle Blanks evened the score with another single, which sent the game into extra innings. It was Sorianos second blown save in 14 chances, although an error by Zimmerman made both ninth-inning runs unearned. Drew Storen got his first save of the season in the 10th. The Nationals took advantage of Padres right-hander Burch Smith, making his second professional start. The 23-year-old gave up five runs on six hits in 5 1-3 innings. He struck out eight and walked just one, but three home runs got him in trouble. It was still an improvement over his professional debut. Smith gave up six runs on five hits in one-plus innings in a no-decision at Tampa Bay on May 11. He pitched a perfect first, but couldnt get an out in the second and left the game with five runs in and the bases loaded. Gonzalez got better as the game went on, and allowed three runs - two earned - in 6 2-3 innings. Gonzalez walked three - two in the first inning - struck out five, and retired 10 straight at one point. Gonzalez hasnt exceeded two earned runs in three straight starts and six of nine this season. "I was able to make some in-game adjustments and get back on track," Gonzalez said. "Its always good when you can do that. Its also good when things go wrong in a game and the team can rally together and still get the win." NOTES: Washington LHP Ross Detwiler was diagnosed with an oblique strain and will miss at least one start. He was injured a start Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers and had an MRI on the injury on Thursday. . Johnson said OF Jayson Werth is still experiencing hamstring tightness and that he may not come off the 15-day disabled list when eligible on Saturday. . The Padres placed OF Carlos Quentin on paternity leave Friday and promoted RHP Tim Stauffer from Triple-A Tucson in a corresponding move. Quentin also missed Thursdays game after the birth of his son, but he is expected back with the team on Saturday. RHP Thad Weber was designated for assignment to create room for Stauffer on the 40-man roster. . RHP Clayton Richard, on the 15-day disabled list with a stomach virus, allowed one run in six innings of a rehab start with Triple-A Tucson. Richard is expected to make one more start before returning to the Padres rotation.
