Here we go again. Somehow I went 11-4 last week. Keep your fingers crossed:
Cincinnati 7 over Cleveland (home). PICK: BENGALS. Cleveland is just bad.
Indianapolis 7 over Tennessee (home). PICK: TITANS. Colts will win the game, but it'll be close, thanks to the running ability of Vince Young and co.
St. Louis (home) 3 over San Francisco. PICK: RAMS. Niners looked rusty even in their win last week, and I can't see the Rams losing two straight at home.
New York Giants (home) 2.5 over Green Bay. PICK: GIANTS. Late word is that Eli Manning will start; Giants are at home.
Pittsburgh (home) 10 over Buffalo. PICK: STEELERS. Too many weapons, and at home.
New Orleans 3.5 over Tampa Bay (home). PICK: SAINTS. Too many weapons.
Carolina (home) 6.5 over Houston. PICK: PANTHERS. The combo of Jake Delhomme to Steve Smith is clicking again.
Jacksonville (home) 10 over Atlanta. PICK: JAGUARS. Joey Harrington is 23-44 as a starting QB, and he's even worse on the road.
Detroit (home) 3 over Minnesota. PICK: LIONS. Things seem a little different there now under Marinelli.
Dallas 3.5 over Miami (home). PICK: COWBOYS. Miami's offense just can't get untracked--ever, it seems.
Seattle 3 over Arizona (home). PICK: CARDINALS. Seahawks were underwhelming last week, and don't seem to play that well in the Valley of the Sun.
Chicago (home) 12 over Kansas City. PICK: BEARS. Looks like a real down year in KC. A shutout wouldn't be a surprise here for the Bears' aggressive D.
Denver (home) 10 over Oakland. PICK: BRONCOS. They're at home, and it appears Oakland QB Josh McCown is dinged up now.
Baltimore (home) 10 over New York Jets. PICK: RAVENS. Especially with Chad Pennington hobbling.
New England (home) 3.5 over San Diego. PICK: PATRIOTS. I don't see them being distracted by all this week's fuss, and Randy Moss gives their offense a whole new look.
(Monday) Philadelphia (home) 6.5 over Washington. PICK: EAGLES. It's a lot of points to give, but you have to think Donovan McNabb's offense will run a lot smoother than it did in week 1.
