TEN @ HOU - Without Andre Johnson, Houston's offense kinda sucks. I'll take Tennessee to win the game outright, even if Kerry Collins is at QB.

 

DET vs. TB - Tampa had a nice win last week against Tennessee, and Detroit seems susceptible to teams with good defenses (Washington two weeks ago). I like TB here.

 

NE @ MIA - 16.5 points is an obscene line. OBSCENE. I'll take it anyway because the Dolphins are the worst team in the NFL.

 

NO vs. ATL - New Orleans found some offense last week against a decent Seattle team. Atlanta is not a decent team. I'll take the Saints.

 

NYG vs. SF - Eli Manning has looked good. The defense has looked good. The question with the Giants is will the drop off like they did last year. I believe Alex Smith is still out, so I'll err on the side of caution and pick the favorite.

 

BAL @ BUF - The Bills offense is bad. Ravens in a defensive battle.

 

WAS vs. ARI - The Redskins' offense disappeared in the second half last week. But, if Tim Rattay is the starter for ARI, it won't matter. I'll take Washington.

 

OAK vs. KC - Oakland got carved up by LT last week. LJ got on track last week. Chiefs in a close one.

 

CIN vs. NYJ - Both surprisingly bad teams. I'll take the one with the better offense. Cincy.

 

PHI vs. CHI - Chicago's defense has struggled. McNabb and the Eagles' offense has struggled. Devin Hester plays a role in the Bears win.

 

SEA vs. STL - Bulger comes back, and leads struggling Rams to surprise win.

 

DAL vs. MIN - Childress feeds the beast that is Adrian Peterson, Vikes win.

 

PIT @ DEN - Taking the better team. Pittsburgh's defense will harass Cutler.

 

IND @ JAX - As good as Jacksonville has been, Indy's the second best team in the league.

The only thing I don't agree with is, surprisingly, your NE @ MIA pick. I'm going with Miami to cover the spread. They ALWAYS give the Pats a hard time down in South Florida. Always.

The Dolphins are so atrociously bad though.

[schillingouttheks]

They were so atrociously bad in 2004 and still beat us on MNF, so yeah.

 

I like to err on the side of caution.

And they traded Chris Chambers. By the way, I didn't get to watch him play much, having lived in Colorado... I remember a few years ago he had tremendous upside... did he ever live up to his potential? The numbers suggest he didn't... but he also had no QB... ever.

He has a rep for not being a good route runner.

 

Rumblings he's out of shape this year too...
