I really love the Titans at those odds. I'm so-so on the rest.

Dallas is maybe my 2nd favorite play, I'm not sold on the Bears at all whatsoever after watching today's game. It's sad when special teams & defense provides more offense than the actual offense.

SF +9

Buffalo was +10 vs the Steelers
and SF is waaay better than Buffalo.

[Dark Horse]

Early fades: Cardinals, Tampa, and Chicago. No need to play them early with those lines.

I was actually looking at the Steelers here. I just hope I can get a better line. Remember, the 49ers have squeaked by the last 2 weeks.

Right I will be hitting the Cards very Heavy this weak +9. Baltmore have a shocking Off and the Cards can D.

The other side we all know the Ravens are good but the Cards have an Off I would expect to score 13. There is no way the Ravens will score 21+ against the Card new improved D.

This is a gift

Also surely the Vikings +3

You can pass on the Vikings but can the cheifs!!!

Looker,
I agree with you. The Niners are 2-0 but they've had less than 200 yards of total offense in both games. That will be difficult to impossible to sustain. I know they did enough to win, but I think it will be hard to continue to win with so little offense.

I watched both games this weekend. The more I think about it, the more I like the Chiefs. I see it's down to -2 1/2 now. Time to hammer it!!!

Chiefs were able to move the ball against Chicago, which is saying a lot. I really respect Chicago's defense even if I laugh out loud at their offense. Minnesota's offense is about on par with Chicago, which is to say that they've got a lot of work to do. I think Tavaris Jackson may mature into a decent NFL QB, but at this stage of his career, he's still cutting his teeth. Minny's defense is good, but they're not Chicago, IMO. Plus this game is in KC, which is one of the better home fields in the league. KC is 0-2 and have got a lot of pride, being a playoff team from last year. I think they get it done and cover. They are playing fine football right now, despite the results.

Okay the Vikings have a much better running game than the Bears.

They also have a very good run D which means the cheifs will have to pass to victory.

Not saying you are wrong but this is a game peterson can own.

Betting on the cheifs against anyone is dangerous plus most of their yards where in the last quarter after grossman had plaied like a prick and kept the Bears D out on the pitch hence they where tried.

I was surprised the cheifs scored in this game and it screwed my bet

I played the Chiefs -2.5 for next week. Probably my favorite play of the week (college or nfl).

I'm not convinced that the Vikings running game is that much better than the Bears.

I was suprised the Bears offense scored in this game. So, touche.

Indy exploited the Titans secondary early, but Fisher knows how to play Indy...

NO will blow out Tenn

Arizona scored 17 in SF.
To assume they score 13 in Baltimore would be a little naive

I see 2 games including a 9 point spread..would think the matchup for Baltimore is one you could lay 9 with....but only if McNair is playing

Huh?

Week 1: Indy blows out NO, Ten beats tough Jax.
Week 2: Ten almost beats Indy, NO gets blown out again.
Week 3: NO blows out Ten?! Give me a break.
