Packers @ Miami(-5)
I don’t think the Packers have enough talent to keep this game close. I realize Miami is awful, but they should be able to turn the ball over less than the Packers and win by a late touchdown.

Lions @ New Jersey Jest(-3.5)
The Lions won a game last week. Are they really improving? Wait…that was Buffalo. Ok, I’ll give the points.

Steelers @ Atlanta(+2.5)
Lots of crazy news coming out of Atlanta this week. First there’s a (proven false) rumor that the Offensive and Defensive coordinators got in each other’s faces after last week’s game. Then there’s Michael Vick going on HBO Inside sports complaining that he doesn’t get to throw the ball enough. Plus, you’re going without Kearney and Coleman with limited availabilty for Abraham. Look for fast Willie Parker to have a big game. Steelers.

Eagles @ Tampa Bay(+5)
Tampa will backslide in this game. They just have to. There’s no way they are even in this game.

Patriots @ Buffalo(+5)
I can’t figure out the Patriots. Luckily, I shouldn’t have to this week. Give the points.

Jaguars @ Houston(+9.5)
It’s tough to even be in games against decent teams when you can’t run the ball. This is the same problem the Jets have and they lost 41-0 to the Jaguars. That suggests a similar result in this game — even if Leftwich doesn’t play. Jaguars.

Panthers @ Bengals(-3)
The Bengals have lost a couple of games in a row and have looked bad doing it. The Panthers haven’t lost since Steve Smith came back. I’ll take the Panthers.

Sunday ~4:10
Broncos @ Cleveland(+4.5)
The Broncos don’t seem to like scoring points, but their defense should be able to win this by a touchdown. Broncos.

Cardinals @ Oakland(+3)
The Cardinals are looking pretty good. I was really impressed by Leinhart. Oakland is an embarrassment. Cards.

Vikings @ Seattle(-6.5)
The Vikings are coming off a bye and should be fresh. They should also be able to run the ball against the Seahawks. But how much of the Viking’s success this season has been due to their defense scoring on turnovers? I think a lot. I’m going to give the points in this game and hope Seattle doesn’t turn the ball over.

Redskins @ Colts(-9)
The Colts haven’t covered all that well this year, and the Redskins are halfway decent. However, they have been really inconsistent and have plain looked bad – especially when losing to the Titans. I’m going to give the points.

MNF
Giants @ Dallas(-3.5)
Coming off of the good showing last week, it seems odd that the Giants wouldn’t be favored. However, the Cowboys have the best run defense in the league and a pretty good running game of their own. I’m going to give these points with the Cowboys at home.

Wow…Tech is getting owned. Why does Clemson even think of passing the ball at this point?
