I think Atlanta will win some games but not til the 2nd half when they can play bottom-feeder and occasional spoiler. Houston is poised for a big win, bet against them. Jax can run the ball and stop the run, they should be able to hang with anyone in the league and KC is looking decidedly one-dimensional. I just got a feeling the Leinart-Warner platoon breaks down this week, I like the Rams to rally behind the back-up. I hate double digit spreads but, man, everything the New England does works, you gotta think they'll roll. The Saints are in free fall but a division opponent is a good place to get back to right. The Giants D showed up big time last week, time for them to disappear again. I think the Steelers are overacheiving a bit and the Seahawks are underrated, actually I think they're similar teams; the Steelers will win but I like the Hacks to keep it close. If Redskins-Lions turns into a shootout, I like the Lions. The Colts have some tough injuries to overcome but so do the Bucs, if you call that even then give the points and take the Colts. The Chargers have yet to get going, I'm thinking that's bad news for the Broncos. I like Trent Dilfer to come off the bench and give his old team, the overrated Ravens, the business. The Bears are reeling and the Packers are on fire, this looks like one of those turnaround weeks but I'll stick with the Packers in a division game. As much as I hate double digit spreads, the Cowboys love to run up the stats and the Bills try hard but got not much going, take the Cowboys on Monday night.
