Cincinnati -6 vs NY Jets (47) The Bengals defense is running a close second to the Lions for having the worst defense in the league right now. I would jump on every team in the league minus the Rams and Dolphins getting six points vs these clowns for the rest of the season. The Chiefs had a commanding 27-10 lead before they gave the Bungles all the underneath, let's get this over and kill the clock while you're at it crap. The high powered Bengals offense isn't protecting C Palmer very well, he doesn't have the time to wait on C Johnson's quadruple moves and their running game isn't much either. The Jets are plenty good enough to make this a competitive game.
New York Jets + 6 over 47
Dallas -9.5 vs Minnesota The Cowboys are serious letdown material after last week's showdown of the undefeated with popcorn. They will have a hard time getting up for this game now that they know what it's like to play in a big game and lose I might add. This game will seem like work to them compared to all the hype of last week. The Boys were looking ahead vs Buffalo and are still feeling the effects of last Sunday. Remember that anything less than a Superbowl win is a failure in Big D. The whole city is panicking thinking. How can we beat the Pats in the rematch? that's a guess but it wouldn't surprise me if the Dallas players were thinking that far ahead as well. I can picture TO saying, its ok ,we'll get them in the rematch. They may get a rematch later in the season but that won't help them focus on a scrappy Vikings team coming into this game with some momentum. The Vikings aren't locks either but they are the pick . The over makes the most sense to me , If Dallas wins big and scores 31 to 35 points. All we need out of the Vikings is 17 pts for an OVER , If the Vikings make a game of it , the over looks good to me because the Vikings will need to score 19 pts to cover the typical 28 point output the Boys are good for at home.
over 46.6 take the Vikings as well and the worst you can do is push while standing a good chance to win both wagers. the over is the safer play than either team
Philly -6 vs Chicago a make or break game for the Bears, expect a good effort from them. The Eagles are an average team that's had trouble in the trenches vs descent teams. The Bears qualify as descent and can score enough points with Griese at the helm to possibly win the game straight up.The Eagles lack of a clock killing rushing attack which makes it hard for them to put teams away even if they are fortunate enough to have a sizable lead. The Bears will get plenty of chances to make a comeback if things go bad for them early. I can't see either team getting too far ahead of the other which makes the points the way to go. The Eagles O-line is in shambles so don't count on B Westbrook tearing up the Bears like the Vikings did.
Chicago +6
Washington -7 vs Arizona the Skins are a lot of people's choice after watching the Cards lay an egg vs Carolina last week. The Cards lost badly because they were not ready to play without Warner or Leinart. A week of practice may be enough for the Cards to at least resemble an NFL team on offense. Rattay came off the bench for the Buccs last year at Chicago and put 28 pts on the board. He led the Buccs to a win the following week at Cleveland. With Boldin back, the Cards may show more life on offense than most people would think possible vs a good Washington defense. That's my point, it won't take much to cover the 7 pts because I'm counting on the Redskins offense to play very conservative unless the Cards start scoring enough to force Washington to open up the playbook. Why you ask? because the Skins play the Pats next week and will try to "show" as little as possible in effort to save some surprises for next week. Washington is too inconsistent on offense to trust as favorites of -7 in a game sandwiched between the big name Packers and Patriots.on their schedule. the funny thing is that the Washington players are thinking the same thing everyone else is. There is no way we can lose to a team starting a QB that old and recently signed off the couch. The irony is that the Cards fell for that joke last week.
Cardinals +7 I like them to cover in a low scoring yawner
Detroit -2 vs Tampa Bay the oddsmakers are trying to confuse you by making the Lions 2 point favorites. Are you thinking what do they know that I don't that I should know why the Lions have a chance to win this game. Detroit won a couple of home games last year so I suppose that is why some people see the possibility of them winning. Well. the only teams the Lions can stop are one dimensional running teams that lack a QB capable of exposing the Lions secondary for what it is. J Garcia and J Galloway should have a big day in what could be a trackmeet. The Buccs are safer than the over because there is a chance of the Buccs defense holding the Lions under 17 points. The Buccs have been consistent enough this year to make me think they won't let the Lions take their momentum from them.
Tampa Bay +2 you get the better team and the points
