Great game last night between two of the top-four teams in the league and who would’ve ever thought that Aaron Rodgers could actually keep his team in the game after Favre was hurt? I certainly didn’t but was pleasantly surprised by the former first-round pick.
VIKINGS (-3.5) over Detroit
With Adrian Peterson back at least for part-time duties this week and Detroit fading down the streak, you have to like Minnesota at home.
RAMS (-3) over Falcons
This one is going to be a bad game. Gus Frerote is starting for the Rams and Joey Harrington is starting for Atlanta. You have to think this is a breakout week for Steven Jackson.
TITANS (-4) over Texans
I’m a lot more sold on Vince Young at home than I am for Matt Schaub on the road. And where the hell is the Madden curse? I know Vince hasn’t been playing very well but come on, where’s the ACL tear?!
Jets (+1) over DOLPHINS
So you’re 0-11 and a favourite? How does this happen. The Dolphins are due and could very well beat these sad Jets
REDSKINS (-5.5) over Bills
The ‘Skins have to win for Sean Taylor right? This game will be full of emotion but how will that play out? I wouldn’t put any money on this one.
Chargers (-5.5) over CHIEFS
Kansas City is a rough place for visiting teams but the Brodie Croyle-Kolby Smith combo isn’t good enough for a wager over a very “due†LDT.
Jaguars (+6.5) over COLTS
Does anybody else feel that since David Garrard’s streak without an interception is being so highly touted that he’ll without a doubt throw one on Sunday? This is one of the biggest jinxes I’ve seen in a while. Even with that said, the Colts won’t run away with this game.
Seahawks (+3) over EAGLES
A.J. Feeley working that kind of magic two weeks in a row? Yeah right. Donovan McNabb sticking around in Philly after this season? I wouldn’t put too much money on it. Did you know that Brian Westbrook has the most fantasy points out on any running-back this season? Yet, the Eagles stink. One man can’t do it all.
Niners (+3) over PANTHERS
Vinny Testaverde is questionable. Who else do the Panthers have at quarterback now? Steve Smith and his fantasy owners must be pissed about how this season has turned out in Carolina.
SAINTS (-3) over Bucs
Seeing that Jeff Garcia might play isn’t good enough for me. I need to see him in the starting line up before I’d back this mediocre division-leading Bucs team.
Browns (PK) over CARDINALS
This one is going to be a shootout; bet the over. These Browns are good and the Cardinals seem to have some bad luck as evidenced by last week’s overtime debacle.
Broncos (-3.5) over RAIDERS
Mike Shanahan exacts revenge on his former team for the billionth time!
BEARS (+1.5) over Giants
Do not kick to Devin Hester! How are teams still kicking to him? He’s got to have a kick return rating of 150 in Madden next year. Let’s hope that Rex Grossman doesn’t screw this up more than Elisha Manning will.
STEELERS (-7) over Bengals
You can hope that Ocho Cinco does his thing and scores thrice again this week but I don’t think so against Pittsburgh.
Patriots (-20.5) over RAVENS
…ugh…
Last Week: 11-4
This Season: 78-75-9
