Titans -6.5 Broncos.....Titans have rebounded after getting planted by the steel, with a nice win over a team in N.Y. called the Giants, but haven't played like GIANTS since they started the season 5-0 last year. The Titans need to run the ball with CJ28, and most of all use the play-action pass with Young cuz that passing attack isn't top flight and ain't tricking anybody. The big thing is not what there going to do, its how they do it, by not committing turnovers and keeping 2 hands on the ball if they are going to cover this TD spread. Look for the Broncos who are emotionally drained to still be lacking intensity!Take Titans!
Steelers-2.5 Ravens...Steelers have been down right dominate, and the reason is still the Samoan whose head and shoulders above all safeties in the NFL. Steelers offence has been agressive cuz they know their defence is lethal enough to make up for there short comings without Big Ben. However, with wins over teams that haven't been tough enough, they have been able to impose their will. The Ravens, have been playing smash mouth football so far in 3 games, and look bad enough against the browns in the run department that they decided to make some changes on the d-line. Look for the Ravens, to want this one bad cuz if u remember well, this is the team they lost to a few years back when the steel won that italiano trophy. I like the Ravens here outright, and look for Charlie Batch to look more like Charlie Batch! Take Ravens.
Bengals -3.5 Browns...Back to that Fav bandwagon, why did they sign T.O.? This was the biggest worry that Owens would demand the ball too much and be in Palmer's ear! They got ride of T.J Hous and went 10-6 as a result. I have faith that Palmer is good enough to keep the boyz in line, and these guys are beyond due when it comes to a break out of sorts. I hate going against this Browns team cuz they played the Ravens tough, and are looking like they can run the ball effectively enough, to demand some respect. However, this Bengals team is better, and that small spread is good enough for me,. Take Bengals!
Packers -13.5 Lions..These big spreads are tough picks, it means Lions start the game with a 2 touch down lead! Packers were bad last week against the bears, 18 penalties? This team is just too good, and the Bears got lucky and the Lions will have to pay for it! Look for this game to be a blow out..Take Packers
Saints -13.5 Panthers. Saints are champs, and u never want to face a champ after a tough loss. Look at history, championship teams don't lose back to back games, unless the whole season is a bad one, and the Saints aren't headed that way. Don't worry no Bush, they have too many weapons to get lost in Bush. I told ya last week that Steve Smith would be trouble for that rookie QB Clausen. This team has too many issues at QB and nothing is going to change until they get a QB, ask the Bears about how they worked for them the last 20 years. Take Saints, its not that many points, its 2 scores, and it means the panthers need to score, and that ain't going to happen.
Falcons-6.5 SanFran49ers. This Sanfran team has been brutal on the offensive side of the ball, and i like Coach Singeltary a ton, for his passion and intensity, but man he never played offence, and its nothing like defence. U had the offensive wizard in Mike Martz and u get rid of him? So, now u just look like a coach who is making the wrong decisions and is too stubborn to admit it? The 49ers are still alive cuz they play in the NFC west, but i think this game tells you if he has lost his team, cuz he's losing this game to a really good Falcons team. Take falcons, too much of everything, and most of all, Matty Ice ain't going to get stressed with the pressure, and that run game with Turner is just to strong, and oh ya they are at home. Need i say more?
Seattle-2 Rams. These are two teams who have been polar opposites of themselves from week to week. I think that is less true when it comes to the hawks, but the only problem is they are playing on the road, and the other issue is that when a young team gets a big win with a rookie QB like Bradford, they can ride that high for a while. Look for the Rams to win, i agree this game is a toss up, but i like that toss in favor of the home team. Take Rams
Jets-6 Bills. I know the Bills played well against the PATS last week, but that Pats defence is very weak on many levels, and the JETS are the complete opposite, that being very strong on all levels from the front 7, to the back end, to their Head Coach. I like the Jets here in a beat down of the bills, and don't think the TD spread is any problem. Take JETS
Colts -6.5 Jags. The colts last year where brutal covering the spread, this year they've been great at it. Its hard to bet against coach Manning, and the Jags are like the 49ers, a dysfunctional team with no offence. Be aware though, the Jags can run the ball, and that is always the Colts Achilles heel, so don't use this pick if u can avoid it as a parlay. Take Colts and the TD.
Texans-3 Raiders. Now this is an interesting spread, the Raiders have played better in recent games and are a lot better team that people realise, but -3 against the Texans? I don't care if Mr. 80 ain't playing, i like the Texans cuz they're a better team, period! Take Texans.
Chargers - 9 Cards. Its amazing how you take away a teams middle linebacker, safety and a hall of famer QB, and your team just falls apart. Football is won and lost up the middle and the Cards, have just lost all the way up the middle for a few years to come. Chargers? They do this every year, and as much as i always say that Turner is like Wade Philips and not a big game coach, he is a win you regular season games coach, take Chargers with a big rebound game here and i like them more than the spread. Take Chargers.
Eagles -5.5 Skins. McNabb will get booed, Vick will be dominant with his feet and arm, and the Eagles will start to evolve as a defence. This is going to be a dog fight, but Vick has the experience to be a killer, and Mcnabb has the experience of being sick to his stomach. Look for both defences to allow big plays, and that being the case like for Vick to continue putting up huge numbers, going be a fun one to watch. Take Eagles.
Giants -3.5 Bears. Now! Can the Bears go 4-0? no way! The Giants aren't this bad, and the Bears aren't this good. Take the G-men cuz their due!
Pats -1 Dolphins...Miami is just a better team then the Pats, and u know Sparano will have these guys focused after losing to the Jets. Its always tough to bet agianst the Pats, and dolphins do have a week back end, but as long as the phins play deep, and don't turnover the ball, its to much to handle for the pats, take the Phins at home!
