Baltimore Ravens (+1.5)(37.5) at Pittsburgh Steelers
This game could end in a 0-0 tie. Kordell won't find throwing quite so easy when the Ravens stop the run as he did against the Titans. And the Ravens aren't scoring much against anybody again. This is a statement game for Pittsburgh, they are 5-1 and a win here makes them a top contender in the AFC, a loss and they still get questioned as to whether or not they're for real. The Ravens may be the better team, but this is at Pittsburgh and Cowher will have his group ready. I don't want to over state it, but this could be the defining moment in Stewart's career. He must win this game to prove he can QB a top caliber team against a world class defense. This could be the Steelers realilty check, but until someone does knock them off I'll give the home team behind Cowher the benefit of the doubt.
Pittsburgh Steelers -1.5
Steelers/Ravens UNDER 33

 

Carolina Panthers (+9.5)(36.5) at Miami Dolphins
After a stunning opening day victory the Panthers are yet to return to the win column, although if football games were only 3 quarters long they'd be on quite a streak as they continue to blow 4th quarter leads. The Dolphins are clearly the superior team and are unlikely to lose this game, but lately is team worthy of laying 10 points in this league? Afterall the Panthers last 3 losses have been by a combined 6 points. It seems unlikely that the Panthers who still have no running game will have a lead to blow in this game, assuming the Dolphins show up with any kind of effort. Laying the big number has been dangerous lately, but the Panthers are over matched.
Miami Dolphins -9.5

Cleveland Browns (+5)(34) at Chicago Bears
Huge win for Chicago last week should have them riding high, but the Browns are a solid team (5-1 ATS) and have the talent to keep this game close.
Cleveland Browns +5

 

Tampa Bay Buccs (+5)(37) at Green Bay Packers
The Packers out played the Buccs when they visited Florida, if not for an INT by Favre inside the Green Bay 5 and 1 long run by Alstott the Packers win that game with ease. The Packers come of a shocking and humiliating loss to Minnesota. If you believe in common opponent theories the Buccs win this one by 59 points - says a lot about common opponent theories. Tampa Bay should have Dunn back for this game, but I believe they are better with one back so not necessarily an advantage. I don't doubt much that the Packers will win this game, they are very tough at home, 33-6 vs. NFC Central opponents in last 9 years. And 7 straight Lambeau covers. Great teaser game as I love GB to win and like them to cover.
Green Bay Packers -5

 

Jacksonville Jaguars (+3)(37.5) at Tennessee Titans
The first of my 3 TOP PICKS guaranteed* to make you a winner this weekend! Get it HERE!
Dallas Cowboys (+11)(35.5) at New York Giants

The Giants have lost 3 straight, and the Cowboys have won 2 straight. Probably not the numbers we expected coming into this game. The Giants suffered an embarassing loss a week ago and should bounce back, but a big number for a marginal team. Dallas is banged up and the Giants have superior talent, but I just can'tcan't lay 11 points with a team that isn't playing all that well even though the Cowboys are just really lousy. This is one of those games that if I didn't pick all the games every week I would pass on.

Check back for update
**Update - It doesn't look good for Smith to play, which may help Dallas a bit since Smith has been playing in pain and ineffective recently. I'll simply say again, there are a lot of better games to bet on than this one.

Dallas Cowboys +11

 

New England Patriots (+3)(42) at Atlanta Falcons
Tom Brady threw his first INT last week, he also threw his 2nd, 3rd and 4th. How the young QB bounces back will be a big key to this game. His confidence may be rattled and if Atlanta can get to him early they could make it a long day for the Patriots. With Chandler healthy the Falcons remain a threat, particularly at home.

 

Atlanta Falcons -3

Detroit Lions (+8.5)(47.5) at San Francisco 49ers
The Lions couldn't get it done last week at home against Cinncy, they sure aren't going to find their first win at San Fran. The Lions simply have too many injuries and a lack of talent problem to compete in this game. Should be 49ers early and often.
San Francisco 49ers -8.5

Philadelphia Eagles (-6.5)(39.5) at Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals and Jake Plummer may provide bettors one of the best 2nd half betting opportunities in the history of the 2nd half bet. If Arizona gets behind, Plummer presses and most of the time it only gets worse. If the Cardinals can stay in a game and keep the offense balanced they are a decent team. The Eagles will come in looking for revenge and they're 2-0 on the road this season. Philly has more talent than the young and less than deep Arizona Cardinals so if they can put together a solid game they should have little trouble in the desert.
Philadelphia Eagles -6.5

Indianapolis Colts (-3.5)(44) at Buffalo Bills

Still no line on this game as James status remains uncertain. The Colts showed some signs of life last Thursday, but that was against KC, and KC was in it until the end. The Bills have looked better the last few games but no matter how lousy they've looked it's tough to ignore the offensive talent of the Colts. I'm leaning toward the Bills pulling off an upset and I expect the line to have the dog with our without James in the game for Indy. Check back, I'll update.

**Update - If James does play it will be in a platoon situation, don't expect that to help a struggling offense. I expected the line to be higher but I still like the Bills.

Buffalo Bills +3.5
Kansas City Chiefs (+5.5)(41) at San Diego Chargers
The Chiefs still can't get the offense going when it counts, and if they do they can't keep it going. Trent Green's inexperience is showing and the questions have to come about how long the Chiefs will buy into the Vermeil system as they continue to get beat. Possible let down spot for the Chargers after last weeks huge game, but looking ahead the Chargers have trips to Denver and Oakland up coming so this becomes a bigger game. Can't imagine over looking and AFC West opponent so I like the Chargers here who got their only win a year ago against KC.
San Diego Chargers -5.5
Chargers/Chiefs OVER 41

Seattle Seahawks (-2.5)(37) at Washington Redskins
Hasselback was solid last week and Alexander continues to impress. But the Redskins playing with some renewed confindence may be ready to right the ship. I'll need to see another good game from Matt, one on the road, before I'm convinced he's the QB for Seattle right now.
Washington Redskins +2.5
New York Jets (+6)(41.5) at New Orleans Saints
A big win for the Saints last week could lead to a let down here, but I still haven't figured out how the Jets have managed to get off to a 4-3 start. The Saint defense is superior to that of Jets and as they did against the Rams should provide the offense some chances to score.
New Orleans Saints -6


Denver Broncos (+5.5)(45) at Oakland Raiders
