Let's not talk about last week.
BUFFALO 7 over Miami. PICK: Bills. I'm off the Dolphins bandwagon (especially after last week).
CINCINNATI 9.5 over St. Louis. UPDATE PICK: BENGALS. I've heard Bulger will NOT play today. Given that, and given the Bengals at home, I'll go with Cincy.
Dallas 10.5 over DETROIT. PICK: COWBOYS. The Lions are reeling; no Roy Williams. And the Cowboys are motivated, remembering how the Lions knocked them off last year.
GREEN BAY 10.5 over Oakland. PICK: PACKERS. Favre returns. Oakland meanwhile hasn't even determined a starter at QB.
TENNESSEE even vs San Diego. PICK: CHARGERS. LT gaining steam, Chargers finishing strong.
PHILADELPHIA 3 over NY Giants. PICK: EAGLES. McNabb returns. The Giants were rather fortunate to win last week; the Bears failed to get TDs in the red zone.
JACKSONVILLE 10.5 over Carolina. PICK: JAGUARS. Their ground game plus Garrard to gash Panthers, who are still having to start Vinny T.
Tampa Bay 3 over HOUSTON. PICK: BUCS. Jeff Garcia is questionable. But Luke McCown showed he can get it done. Houston meanwhile must go with Sage Rosenfels.
Minnesota 8.5 over SAN FRANCISCO. PICK: 49ERS. The Vikings will win, but they're due for a letdown, and I like the Niners to cover at home.
SEATTLE 7 over Arizona. PICK: SEAHAWKS. Because they're at home, and both Bolden and Fitzgerald are banged up for the Cardinals.
DENVER 7 over Kansas City. PICK: BRONCOS. The Chiefs are fading, and they're on the road.
NEW ENGLAND 10.5 over Pittsburgh. PICK: STEELERS. Two tough, physical teams have given the Patriots close games the last two weeks. The Steelers are tough and physical.
Cleveland 3 over NY JETS. PICK: BROWNS. Cleveland should have won last week. Derek Anderson and Braylon Edwards to make sure of it this week.
Indianapolis 9 over BALTIMORE. PICK: COLTS. They're getting healthy. Ravens to have a letdown after last week.
New Orleand 3 over ATLANTA. PICK: SAINTS. Both teams struggling, but Drew Brees will help get the Saints over the hump in this one.
