I think the Pats win SU here. I agree with the above statement, plus Brees actually has thrown a decent number of picks this year (9), and I think Belichicks confusing defenses will snag 1 or 2 this game. Plus in a game where both teams are lighting up the scoreboard and you know its gonna be close, take the points. Remember the 3 points was enough for the Pats to cover against the Colts

Bills lost both starting gaurds last week, which makes an already bad o-line now horrible. They allow alot of sacks and Miami is near the top of the league in sacks, so the QB will not have time to get it to the Bills strong Wrs. Bills have the worst run D in the league, allowing 4.9 ypc, and Miami has a very strong running game, and with Pat White they can actually run some better wildcat plays than they had with Ronnie Brown in there. Miami -3 |

Haynesworth is not awesome anymore, he's a fat kid that has millions of dollars to buy twinkies with. He is inconsistent because he doesn't go hard all the time. The players are starting a mutiny in Washington and they have nothing to play for.

Do you seriously think the coaching staff is watching film and drawing up play for NE, and not spending that time preparing for the Jags? This is the NFL, every game counts just as much as the rest, and 4-4 teams can't afford to look ahead. |

Public is down on Dever after 2 losses in a row, but they are still a good team with a very good defense. The Skins on the other hand, have not scored more than 17 in a game ALL year. Now they face one of the top scoring defenses in the league, and one of the leaders in sacks. They don't have Portis, starting RT, or Cooley. How exactly do they keep up with the Bronos? Denver may not have a great offense, but they will have so many possesions they will have to score some decent points.

Ravens will be pissed off from their losses and ready to rock for prime time. The Browns pathetic offense will be shut down easily, and their no.31 run D will allow Ray Rice to get back on track. Ed Reed vs. Brady Quinn, do you think there won't be some turnovers in this one? Ravens 31-6.

Here you have the league's most explosive RB in C. Johnson going up against the worst run D in the league, allowing 5.1 yards per carry and 174 per game. This could be one of those 200 yard rushing games easily for TEN. The team is more optimistic with Young in there coming off 2 wins. Their D is playing much better, and remember even when they sucked in the beginning of the year, they still one of the best run D's. The Bills offense has more INTs than passing TDs on the year, I dont see how they hang in this road game. |

Rex Ryan has 2 weeks to prepare for this weak passing attack and good running game. The Jets have one of the best passing defenses in the league, by far no.1 in yards per attempt allowed. Both teams have good running games and average passing games, the difference is in the pass D's where the Jags are one of the worst, and get absolutely no pressure on QBs. Therefore Sanchez will not lose this game by throwing picks, and the Jets will have enogh opportunities on offense to cover a TD.

Min -9.5 is my pick of the week. Jackson is the only weapon at all on the STL offense, and the Vikes stellar run D will shut him down, especially with no WRs to worry about. Rams pass blocking isn't too great either with 10 sacks allowed already, meaning Jared 4.5 sacks Allen could be in for another big day. Peterson runs fast in domes, and he will get plenty of carries to wear down this D, plus Favre is on fire and will dice up the Rams if they stack the box. Hard to see this one staying within 14.

Before the spreads came out I was really looking forward to this matchup hoping the spread would be under 14 so I could feel really good good about pounding the Eagles. Well at 15 I took them anyway. Johnson the QB for TB is really going to look like a rookie against the complex blitzing D of Philly. I predict 3 interceptions. McNabb is back and even if Kolb started i would take this bet based on his stats. Hard to see TB scoring more than 10 here.

My book had it at 16.5 then took it off the card b/c of Eli's foot. Wonder if it will re-open much lower if he doesnt play. Could be a steal b/c even with Carr at QB the Giants D should kill this pathetic team.

The Chiefs are better at home, but they are still the Chiefs. Look back at every game they have had this year, and you will see pathetic rushing stats. They will therefore be forced to pass too many times for that 0-line to hold up vs. the Giants stacked D-line. They also have a horrible run D, which is going to be pummeled by the Giants 2-headed monster of Jacobs and Bradshaw. Also, the queefs only stud on offense, Bowe, missed last week with a hamstring injury. If he can't go, they have no one to stretch the field, and even if he can, will he be at full speed?
Giants -9

Early bird gets the cover, Bengals -4. Nows its already up to 5.5. Browns have the worst offense in the league and the Bengals have actually climbed back to respectability. This should be an easy cover.

13 is NOT too much to cover. Ravens won by 14 against the Chiefs, who actually have legit offensive players unlike the Browns. Game would have been much worse if not for a blocked punt TD and a pick returned to the 6. Bal covered a big number last year in their home game vs. the clowns. The Browns offense is just pathetic this year, and Quinn is very turnover prone. With Ed Reed back there duping Quinn into a pick or 2, and the slow Jamal Lewis being shut down by his former team, I think the Brows will be lucky to score 10 points. And Flacco can actually pass well this year, with Heap being back to his old self.
Ravens -13

I like the Giants -6.5. Their D-line should eat up the TB o-line, and cause some bad passes and fumbles b/c of Leftwhich's very long and slow release. Manning looks more legit than ever this year, and I've never been a big fan of his. But he is really clicking with those young WRs. Also TB's run D is pretty horrible, Fred Jackson ran all over them, so I think this is the week that Jacobs and Bradshaw get on track and go off.

Titans have 3 extra prep days, they are home, they have revenge from last season, and they are pissed about losing last week because of missed FGs.
Texans offense got shut out at home (only TD was a pick 6). Now they go on the road vs. a rested and much better D. If it rains like it looks like, that only favors the running and D oriented Titans. Tenn can win by one TD.
Titans -6.5

Rodgers is a beast, and I think he will bounce back from some missed opportunities deep last weak, along with some dropped passes. The biggest ? for the Pack this year was the transistion to the 3-4 but they seemed to have handled it very well.
They Bengals were horrible last weak on offense, and now face a much better D. Its also a home game for the Pack and they Bengals prima donna Wrs will be frustrated by the Packs tough press corners.
Pack -9

The steelers D is still dominant, and the Bears offense was pretty pathetic against the Pack. Their WRs just aren't good enough yet, and they had trouble blocking a 3-4, and now they face the best one in the league.
PIT has 3 extra days to prepare coming off a thursday game, so they will more than make up for the lack of home field advantage.
Urlacher is out for the season, which will weaken the D and dampen spirits.
Big Ben threw for 370 on the Titans, so they will be able to score enough to cover a FG in this one.
Expect lots of pressure on Cutler, which will lead to picks because their weak Wrs can't get open enough to bail him out.
PIT -3

SD's running game was shut down by the Raiders. LT is looking old and slow, and now has a ankle injury. Now they face teh Ravens with one of the best run D's in the league, with 2 lineman out. They also have a short week to get people healthy. They will be stuffed running the ball and forced to pass all day, which will lead to picks and sacks.
Ravens easily could have held the Cheifs to 10, one TD was a blocked punt and another a INT return to the 6 yard line to set it up.
Flacco continues to improve, and Heap is finally healthy and back in dominant form. Remember how the Chargers got killed by Miller against the Raiders.
Ravens are a veteran team that is not affected much by road trips, therefore, they should be the fav here.
Take BAL +3
