This week's NFL games, versus the spread and over/under?

Question

I'm in a pool where we have to pick the winner against the spread (if you take the spread away from the favorite's point total, who would win the game?) and the over/under for each game (will the total points scored be more or less than the over/under amount?). Who would you take for each of the games (these odds are what the pool is using):

Favorite (spread) Underdog - Over/under

New Orleans (7 points) over Arizona - 56-1/2 total points

Indy (6-1/2) over Baltimore - 44-1/2

Minnesota (2-1/2) over Dallas - 46-1/2

San Diego (8) over NY Jets - 42-1/2

I think Arizona wins or New Orleans does, but by less than a touchdown. So, I'm leaning toward Arizona. I'm also leaning toward the over (for example, 31-27 is over).

I think Indy wins, but not by a touchdown or more. So, I'm leaning toward Baltimore. I'm also leaning toward the under (for example, 24-20 would be under).

I think Minnesota wins by more than a field goal. So, I'm taking Minnesota. I also anticipate a high-scoring game, especially by the Vikings. So, I'm leaning toward the over.

I think the Chargers will win, but I don't know if it will be by 8 points or more. So, I'm leaning toward New York. I also think it's going to be something like 21-17, which is the under.

Well strange as it may sound, all the NFL games went over last week.
So why not all games go UNDER.

New Orleans vs. Arizona
NO should cover this, they are the #1 scoring offense in NFL and are more fluid on offense. I doubt AZ will score another 51 points again. Final score aints 35-20.

Indy vs. Baltimore
I think the Ravens will cover this spread, I watched this game between these 2 in Nov and it was close. Final score was 17-15. The Ravens should have won this. Ravens drove all the way to the 30 yd line of Colts and Flacco threw an INT. If the colts had trouble scoring against this D, I doubt they will cover this spread. and if you're gonna cover 6.5, that means the colts should win at least by 10pts, which I doubt.
I'll take a good Defense over a good Offense anyday.

Minnesota vs. Dallas
I think this game Dallas will cover this game. They got everything clicking, the great defense and Romo seems to have found his groove. If they can stop a great offense like they did last week with the Eagles, I think they will do it again to the Vikings. Dallas will win this at least by 10pts.

San Diego vs NYJETs
This game, take San Diego! If I was gonna bet, I bet this team. They can't lose. I know 9 points seems alot, but the JETs are 8-8 and they beat the BENGALS. The BENGALS were a fake team, I knew it! They got a suspect offense that is not fluid and a bad defense. I watched the Jets play and this guy Sanchez takes a lot of risks. I saw him throw 5 or 6 ints in a game vs Buffalo and they almost even won, if it weren't for the kicker that missed. Anyways, my point being, the Jets lost 8 games to very bad teams this season, I doubt they will win this. Chargers got too many offensive weapons. Even if Revis shuts down Vincent Jackson. What about Sproles, Gates, Floyd, Tomlinson, and Nene. 
Chargers in a blow out!
