Washington -3.5 @ New York Jets
Kellen Clemens, I'd like for you to meet the Redskins' defense. Oh by the way, you'll be playing without your go-to receiver, Laveranues Coles. Yeah, good luck with that. Never been so scared of a half point but the Skins should win a close one...20-16 sounds right.
Kansas City -2.5 vs Green Bay
I like KC at home. Especially against a very lucky Packers team. KC wins late and Favre throws 4 picks.
Tampa Bay -3.5 vs Arizona
What happens when you're picking in a hurry? You take the favorites....there's definitely a theme developing here. Another half point that scares the shit out of me but I like the Bucs by a TD.
Carolina +4.5 @ Tennessee
Finally, an underdog. I like my Titans to win this game but give me the points on a late cover. LET'S GO TITS....LET'S GO TITS....
Atlanta -3 vs San Francisco
San Fran is too banged up to be taken seriously. Their offense has been abysmal and they'll probably be without Frank Gore this week. If he does play I don't anticipate him being very effective. That leaves us with Maurice Hicks and Michael Robinson. I'd actually take Joey Harrington in this case. Hate to give the points but Falcons win a close game (possible push) that nobody will be watching.
New Orleans -3.5 vs Jacksonville
I had Jacksonville penciled in to win this game outright until I remembered Quinn Gray is still starting for the Jags. I expect the Saints to load the box up with 12 people and dare Gray to beat them. No way that happens. Saints punch the Jags in the mouth early and coast to an easy win.
Detroit -3 vs Denver
I hope Mike Martz is smart enough to run Kevin Jones 30 times against the horrible run D of the Broncos, but I'm worried that might happen. If Martz gets pass happy, the Lions will lose this game. And to think someone is going to give this guy another head coaching gig. That's scary. Lions in a close one (another possible push).
Cincinnati -1 @ Buffalo
At some point the Bengals have to start winning games, don't they? They should kill this Bills team....should being the operative word. Go Bengals!
San Diego -7 @ Minnesota
My gut tells me to take the points but I can't bring myself to do it. Chargers should destroy the Vikes. Man, I really should take the points!! Nope....gonna stick with SD to win big.
Seattle +2 @ Cleveland
All signs point to a Cleveland win, but I think this is where the clock strikes midnight for the Browns. They have been playing out of their minds and there's no way they can keep this up. Seattle wins by a late FG - should be an interesting game either way.
Indianapolis +4.5 vs New England
Let me get this straight. I get the defending Super Bowl champs at home, undefeated, and playing the best football they've ever played, on both sides of the ball no less, AND I get 4.5 points??? I just hope this games turns out to be as good as advertised. Indy will finally show everyone that the Pats are mere mortals and can be stopped with a good pass rush and great secondary play. No way the Pats continue this dominance with a blatant refusal to run the ball. Indy wins by double-digits. CROWN THEIR ASSES!
Oakland -3 vs Houston
Sage Rosenfels, Kevin Walter, Ron Dayne, Adimchinobi Echemandu, and Andre Johnson will all play prominent roles in this game. I'll take my chances with the Black and Silver. I do have one prediction for this game - RB Justin Fargas of Oakland will establish himself as the man in Oakland and will be the hottest waiver-wire pickup of the week in fantasy football. Write that down.
Dallas -3 @ Philadelphia
Dallas will reassert themselves as the best team in the NFC. I don't even see how this game is close. Cowboys by two TDs.
Baltimore +8.5 @ Pittsburgh
I don't get this line? What about this game says blowout? Two run-first teams, two really good defenses, a ball control offense that will make paint drying seem more exciting? Give me the points and I'll watch the highlights Tuesday morning.
Sorry for the late, quick picks. I'll try to do better next time.
