Philly no win no cover
San Diego no win very good possibility to cover. it wont be as close as their last faceoff though

Ravens should cover, may win SU and there is a decent chance of a push at +3.
Carolina is a guarunteed win, and I think the best side this week as well. I beleive that AZ running the ball last week was a fluke, and Boldin will be slowed down enough to be taken out of the game by single coverage. That will allow the Carolina D to double team Fitz more often and Warner should be guilty of a couple turnovers. Carolina is getting several guys back from injury (both DTs, Otah the RT). If the weather is bad, as it looks like it may be, the team with the far better running game and defense will win. Also CAR is 8-0 at home and we all know how horrendous the AZ D has been on the east coast.
I think Philly gets the cover this week. They may lose SU, I'm not sure. With no Plax, the tough Eagles run D can afford to have 8 in the box most of the time. Eli does bad in games when there is pressure in his face, and I think Philly will be bringing the heat with some success, just like Dallas did. This week Justin Tuck was quoted as saying "If I have to play with one leg, I'll be out there". That tells you right there his leg is still a problem, and if they can't get pressure on Mcnabb, they will be able to put up enough points to at least cover I think.
I think Pit wins and probably covers. If SD can only score 17 in regulation at home vs. the Colts, how are they gonna score more than 10 against the Steelers, on the road, against a rested team? Last time the score was 11-10 Pit, but that was with a stop of the Steelers on 4th and goal on the 1, and an overturned fumble recovery TD by Polamalu. So it could have easily been 25-10.
I know some people think teasers are for squares, but there is value this week.
