Baltimore Ravens (-3) VS. BUFFALO BILLS:*******WE HAVE A STRONG OPINION ON THIS GAME.
****BEST BET****New England Patriots (-16.5) VS. MIAMI DOLPHINS:****THIS GAME IS ONE OF OUR FIVE BEST BETS FOR THE WEEK.
****BEST BET*****NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (-8.5) VS. Atlanta Falcons:*****THIS GAME IS ONE OF OUR FIVE BEST BETS FOR THE WEEK.
NY GIANTS (-9) VS. San Francisco 49ers: The Giants continue to roll as they got through a possible trap game against the Falcons in dominating fashion and now face the offensively challenged 49ers who might still be without QB Alex Smith. The ‘Niners offensive line has been terrible all year and this is a bad scenario going up against the dominate pass rush of the Giants. If lead-footed backup Trent Dilfer is behind center, than this one will get ugly in a hurry. Giants are clicking on all cylinders and there should be no letup at home. THE PICK: New York Giants (-9)
WASHINGTON REDSKINS (-8.5) VS. Arizona Cardinals: Arizona is now down to Tim Rattay at QB after Kurt Warner got injured last week. Rattay was just signed himself off the street a week ago and he looked terrible in throwing 3 INT’s against the Panthers. Things don’t figure to get much better against the tough defense of the Washington Redskins. Ball-hawking S Sean Taylor will be all over Rattay’s throws and the Cardinals have failed to cover in all their road games this season. Redskins played Green Bay tough last week and this team is due to respond big at home. THE PICK: Washington Redskins (-8.5)
*****BEST BET*****OAKLAND RAIDERS (-2.5) VS. Kansas City Chiefs:****THIS GAME IS ONE OF OUR FIVE BEST BETS FOR THE WEEK.
****BEST BET*****Tennessee Titans (-1.5) VS. HOUSTON TEXANS:*****THIS GAME IS ONE OF OUR FIVE BEST BETS FOR THE WEEK.
DALLAS COWBOYS (-9.5) VS. Minnesota Vikings: The Vikes head out on the road to take on the Cowboys who will be out for blood after losing badly at home against the Patriots. The Vikings will certainly get a lot of play due to their win on the road against the Bears but the Cowboys are the clearly superior team who won’t fail to cover in back-to-back games at home. Dallas is in a good situation here in that scenario as teams that failed to cover in the first game of back-to-back home games have gone 31-10-1 ATS in the second game. THE PICK: Dallas Cowboys (-9.5)
Pittsburgh Steelers (-3.5) VS. DENVER BRONCOS:****WE HAVE A STRONG OPINION ON THIS GAME.******
***BEST BET*****CINCINNATI BENGALS (-6.5) VS. New York Jets:*****THIS GAME IS ONE OF OUR FIVE BEST BETS FOR THE WEEK.
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (-8.5) VS. St. Louis Rams: The Rams get back QB Marc Bulger this week as they go into Seattle to take on one of their biggest division rivals. The Seahawks are coming off a terrible loss at home against the Saints and they should be primed for a big effort here. Despite getting Bulger back, the Rams are still a mess as they injury-riddled offensive line won’t be able to keep him upright. Seattle has been very inconsistent but the fact that one of their big rivals will be coming in should do enough to motivate them to win big. THE PICK: Seattle Seahawks (-8.5)
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (-5) VS. Chicago Bears: This figures to be a defensive low-scoring game as both offenses have had difficulty putting points on the board. The Eagles won last week against the Jets on the road but the offense continued to struggle, while the Bears scored a ton of points but also gave up a ton in a bad home loss to the Vikings. QB Brian Griese is clearly getting comfortable with the offense and the defense can’t play any worse than they did last week. Eagles have a good chance to win the game but it should be close. THE PICK: Chicago Bears (+5)
Indianapolis Colts (-3) VS. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS:*****WE HAVE A STRONG OPINION ON THIS GAME.
