On April Fool’s Day Doug Martin Jersey , Raiders quarterback Derek Carr apparently was in no mood for joking.On the same day coach Jon Gruden, who has publicly pledged allegiance to Carr, worked out quarterback Kyler Murray — and a day before Gruden was due to work out quarterback Dwayne Haskins — Carr tweeted without comment a photo of himself doing the Robert DeNiro “watching you” gesture.Many have connected Carr’s tweet to the team’s due diligence, a very public gesture that should, if Carr truly is bothered by the situation, include a private effort by Carr to ask Gruden directly what he’s trying to do in kicking tires on Murray and Haskins. Maybe Gruden is simply evaluating the players so that, if the opportunity to trade down presents itself Rashaan Melvin Jersey , he’ll be able to make a persuasive argument for getting more than the team looking to move up may offer.Of course, what Gruden says to Carr may not matter much. He had a reputation among Buccaneers players of saying one thing and doing another, and Gruden has every right to fully and completely support Carr until the moment Gruden no longer does. That’s what plenty of other coaches and teams routinely do.Gruden didn’t pick Carr. Gruden inherited Carr. And Gruden is trying to make it work. Gruden needs to make decisions in the best interests of the team. If that means making a decision to move on from Carr (or, for now, drafting his eventual replacement), that’s what Gruden needs to do. Last Week: 9-3Weeks 1 through 8: 63-61-4Home teams shown in bold. Odds taken from Odds Shark.Kansas City (-16.5) vs. ArizonaArizona’s coming off a bye and they will keep it somewhat close here. 16.5 points is a lot. Prediction: Josh Rosen has his best game to date on Sunday.Pick: Arizona (+16.5)Atlanta (-6) vs. ClevelandJulio Jones finally scored a touchdown last week! Matt Ryan is playing great, and the Browns and Baker Mayfield aren’t. Falcons win and continue their push.Pick: Atlanta (-6)New York Jets (-7) vs. BuffaloIn what could have been an interesting matchup of first round picks at QB Marcus Gilchrist Jersey , we will most likely get Josh McCown vs. Nathan Peterman.Pick: New York Jets (-7)Chicago (-6.5) vs. DetroitLions are scuffling, but they are 3-1 ATS in their last four road games. Gut feeling: It’s a divisional game, so this one stays close.Pick: Detroit (+6.5)Indianapolis (-3) vs. JacksonvilleMust-win game for both teams if they want to hang around the playoff picture. The Jaguars don’t score much, so I think the Colts take it at home.Pick: Indianapolis (-3)New England (-6.5) vs. Tennessee Congrats Tennessee! You have just come off an emotional MNF win and get to return home on a short week… to face Tom Brady and the Patriots.Pick: New England (-6.5)New Orleans (-5.5) vs. CincinnatiAfter how the Saints looked last week, it would be doing them a disservice to not take them here. The Bengals hang around for a while, but the Saints bury them late.Pick: New Orleans (-5.5)Tampa Bay (-3) vs. WashingtonA very good Redskins defense got exposed last week vs. Atlanta at home. They need to get back on track here, and they will.Pick: Washington (+3)Los Angeles Chargers (-10) vs. Oakland The Raiders Dwayne Harris Jersey , man the Raiders….. they aren’t good. Keep an eye on the Chargers in these next three weeks. They should be 9-2 when the calendar flips to December.Pick: Los Angeles Chargers (-10)Green Bay (-10) vs. MiamiPackers desperately need this one, and it’s going to be cold in Green Bay.Pick: Green Bay (-10)Los Angeles Rams (-9.5) vs. Seattle9.5 seems like a lot here. It’s a divisional game, and both teams are hungry and motivated.Pick: Seattle (+9.5)Philadelphia (-7) vs. DallasEagles are coming off of a bye, and I’m having trouble seeing Dak & the Cowboys offense putting up many points here. Philly wins big.Pick: Philadelphia (-7)San Francisco (-3) vs. New York GiantsNick Mullens looked great against the Raiders last Thursday, but there’s tape on him now and New York’s defense is better than Oakland.Pick: New York Giants (+3)
