Tampa Bay goes from facing two of the most physical defensive teams in football (rams, panthers) to easily one of the softest in the Falcons. Does anyone remember how those Falcons made Geno Smith look on monday night last year? I think Mccown is capable of something quite similar especially because they will have the run game going with Rainey. Liked Tampa with Mccoy but with him out I have to say I think over is the best play in the game. Wouldn't be surprised to see TB outright though, Atlanta has banged up/weak offensive live and a terrible defense they shouldn't be laying 6.5 to a division rival.

Grab the 7, Seattle with only two wins on road by more then 7 against Arizona and Atlanta, two teams that don't run the ball well. The key to Seattle is to exploit their interior run defense. Andre brown rushes for 120 and Eli comes to play. Seattle also coming across country 1:00 pm start off a tough divisional loss against San Fran , they don't need this game and I expect a hangover.

buffalo wins: Carolina, Baltimore, jets, miami this is a quality football team that had a lot of injuries, now healthy they'll be looking to improve and gain confidence going into next year
Jaguar wins: Houston, Houston, Cleveland, Tennessee , they were dominated every other game this season.

Really like buffalo here, Bills back healthy on offense I expect ej Manuel to bounce back big here, jaguar defense is awful. Don't have to worry about travel because bills have been down there all week.

Really like over here, Atlanta is far from tanking and with how bad the skins defense is, they will have a field day on offense. On flip side, Washington will look to show off Cousins for trade value and will have a great spot against a defense that made Geno Smith look like a pro bowler.

I just have to bet this spot here with Browns on a 3 game win streak. Lions will drive you crazy especially on the road but we'll see. Thanks for the input. Road favorites have been terrible to me throughout the years and I just think overall they're bad bets, especially if they have a bad defense to go with it

Uhhh did you hear what happened to Adrian Peterson? No play for me but I wouldn't bet against him this week.

Great week for these.....
Seattle -.5 ....No way the lose SU to Ryan Fitz at home... Jax +39..... How much can you beat a team by?, Manning will be out long before it hits this and if you seen the time Romo had last week you know that even the Broncos defensive starters aren't that impressive, Henne will hook up a couple td's to shorts/blackmon KC Under 54.... Both teams like to control clock, low scoring affair, Chiefs jump out to an early lead and then will sit on the ball, expect Pryor to struggle if the Raiders are down early, especially on known passing situations. San Fran Under 53.5....Richard Sherman locked up Boldin when the Niners played seattle and I expect Peterson to do something similar, this Cardinal defense is the real deal especially with the return of Washington. Flip side Larry Fitz still dealing with that hamstring injury and until he his healthy I can't put much stock into this Arizona offense with the way they block for Palmer. SD/Indi Over 37....Probably the easiest play on board, don't like either defense...Rivers will bounce back at home and I think we are going to continue to see Luck improve every week...quickly turning into one of the best in football. Pitt +14....Off a bye against rookie qb.....no way Pitt loses double digits....I expect a win SU from them. Baltimore +14.....Baltimore great home team, Green Bay awful road team and extremely banged up defensively....14 will be easy here. Tampa Bay +14 Tampa's defense will at the very least keep them in this game, Philly third straight road game, like Tampa straight up but they won't lose by two td's.

Do like your Tampa and Pitt picks though. Philly going from Denver to NY to Tampa in 3 weeks, seems pretty tough and without Vick and with that defense I don't see how they can beat a tampa team that has a solid defense with weapons on offense. Only concern is this whole staph infection thing....not sure if its something to worry about or not.
As far as Pitt, it sounds like Tomlin is extremely fed up and will have his team fired up, I like the benching of Mike Adams and giving Tomlin two weeks to prepare for a raw rookie qb should be a huge edge. I'm looking to see the Jets secondary continue to get exposed and I don't see how Geno Smith will continue to be successful with Cumberland and Kerley as his top targets.

Packers win and cover the -3. Don't try to get cute trying to bet this home dog on Sunday. nothing personal but your plays seem pretty square, Torrey Smith is 3rd in the league in receiving yards and the packers secondary is atrocious, they're starting 3 rookie linebackers. On the other side the Packers have not been as good as they appear on offense, they've made big plays but have also been extremely inefficient at times, especially in the redzone. I'm making a big play other way, best of luck.

Agree with ace here, two weeks ago everyone was saying how much trouble the niners were in and how bad Kap was, they beat a terrible rams team and a Texan team with a qb afraid to do anything right now. We seen what Richard Sherman did to boldin holding him catch less and I'd expect Patrick Peterson to do something similar. Not sure what the status of Ray McDonald is going into this but if he's out and the cardinals can block for Palmer watch out....upset alert!

Really like the Steelers here as well, giving Mike Tomlin two weeks to prepare against a rookie qb is huge, Pitt needs a win here and I think they come out pretty hot. Mike Adams pulled at LT and no one can possibly pass protect worse then him.
Lets not get crazy about Geno Smith either, he played great but against absolutely zero pass rush, any NFL qb can do that given that much time, he'll be without Holmes again and likely Hill. As good as Jets defense is upfront, they are weak in the secondary, Cromartie is playing terrible, and the whole team frequently gets beat deep, they were lucky when they played New England that Brady couldn't hit his receivers deep and when he did they dropped it anyway. Big Ben will be looking to stretch the field early with Sanders and Brown. Having Heath Miller back is huge as well, completely different offense with him in it as seen against Minnesota.

How much of a factor is Andy Reid coming into this game? Obviously this is a little different from say the Oakland Tampa SB where the Raiders and Bill Callahan didn't change a play from the previous season, regardless Reid was with Philly for over 10 years and he's drafted and coached a majority of the players on the roster. How much of an edge, if any does this boast for the Chiefs?
