Week of the underdogs?

with you on Raiders and Ravens, no strong opinion on Seahawks, Lions [though there's no way i'd back those faves]. i have Texans by 3, Ravens outright by 3. my biggest concern with Raiders is that they don't have the type of offense that you can count on to get you a backdoor cover (of course, on Monday, i felt great about the Panthers offense being able to get the backdoor, and we know how that worked out...). that said, Texans haven't shown they're the type of team to trust with 2 scores of chalk, and Asomugha is as good a match-up as there is to shut down Andre Johnson. agree that Pats getting way too much respect from the books, and NE solid win over Falcons last week only makes Ravens a better value this week.

Could be the case, Pap! I think the home underdogs are especially all worth a good look.

i live in houston and this texans team should not be giving 9 points to ANYONE in the nfl. the pass d of oakland combined with the trouble houston has had running the ball. it just doesnt look like the texans will cover....hell they might lose outright

got a feeling on sea as well, not sure if oak can put up enough points to cover though. I think chi is going to roll no prob with the points there/

a decent oakland team!!!!,they are horrible with a capital H.........i think you will also be surprised with the PATS TOO,they beat a better team in ATLANTA last week.....ravens are good but not as good as people think....good luck tomorrow
