Kansas City +2 1/2 @ St.Louis--- I told you to watch this Kansas City team at the beginning of the season. Herm's team is playing very well on defense and add Larry Johnson running the ball and chewing clock means a long day in the office for St.Louis. Kansas City
Cincinnati +3 @ Baltimore--- I wonder if Chad Johnson is becoming a distraction to this Bengals team. He pops off at the mouth last week and didn't deliver. Then he gets fined this week. What more can happen??? I will take Baltimore at home.
Houston + 13 @ New York Giants--- I see the point spread and it reminds of Houston playing Jacksonville when Jacksonville was 9 1/2 point favorites and lost the game. Does Houston have another shocker in the works??? I hope not because I am picking the Giants and crossing my fingers.
Tennessee + 9 1/2 @ Jacksonville--- Tennessee will keep this game close. They are playing much better. Jacksonville tends to play better at home but they will not cover the spread. I will take Tennessee and the points.
Dallas -3 @ Washington--- The circus comes to town in Washington.When these two teams got together, B.O. had 3 catches for 22 yards. Look for more of the same in that regard. As for the game, the Cowgirls got the best of Washington last time. Results to be different at home for the Redskins. Taking Washington and the points.
Green Bay +1 @ Buffalo--- I took Buffalo here. Why??? No really good reason except that everyone took Green Bay and if Buffalo wins their home game then I get the win and the whole field gets a loss. I am willing to take that chance. Buffalo at home.
New Orleans -1 @ Tampa Bay--- Another game I was tempted to take Tampa Bay, but I will not. This is the kind of game that New Orleans must win if they are a playoff caliber team. They are coming off of a bad loss to Baltimore last week. I expect them to punish Tampa Bay this week.
Atlanta -5 1/2 @ Detroit--- Detroit has played so much better than their 1-6 record would indicate. They are coming off of a bye week and should be fresh for this week. They have had a chance to watch their opponents on TV last week as well as on film. Atlanta may take Detroit lightly. In an upset, I am taking Detroit.
Miami + 13 1/2 @ Chicago--- Is Miami still playing football??? We will see when they lose this game by at least 3 TD's.
Minnesota -5 @ San Francisco--- Minnesota really needs this game. San Francisco would love to play a bit of a spoiler role at home. Look for Minnesota to try and slow this game down and control tempo. Minnesota wants a lower scoring kind of game. Point spread is kind of high, but I will take the better team here and take Minnesota and give up the points.
Cleveland + 12 1/2 @ San Diego--- San Diego at home is good. Cleveland is a team still learning. This could be an ugly combination. Look for San Diego to romp.
Denver + 2 1/2 @ Pittsburgh--- Don't be fooled here. Pittsburgh knows what is at stake here. Look for one last push by the defending Super Bowl Champions. Taking Pittsburgh to win this one.
Indianapolis +3 @ New England--- New England is STILL New England at home. Indianapolis must prove they can beat the Patriots on the road before I can take them seriously. I am taking New England and giving up the points here.
Monday Night Football
Oakland +7 1/2 @ Seattle--- I know that Oakland is playing better. But winning on the road is a different story. Look for Seattle to win this game they so desparately need.
(and Sadira, enjoy your lead. It disappears this week) You can't get first place Natural even if you are 14-0 this week. Fiend is the ONLY person who can catch Sadira this week. He has to have a GREAT week though.
