However, that was as much about KC playing like ass as it was the Ravens playing well. The Chefs looked like they panicked in the second half for no apparent reason, since they were only down by seven. Both defenses very tough, both teams set up to stop the run. I think the difference in this game is the quarterbacks, and while Flacco looked OK last week, when the game is on the line, I trust Big Ben more than Flacco. I\u2019d really rather have to give two because I\u2019m worried about a 9-7 kind of thing happening. However, I\u2019ll still take the Stillers. <\/p>\n<p><em>Packers @ Atlanta(-1.5)<\/em><br \/>\nI have absolutely no idea whatsoever. I love the way the Green Bay defense is playing, but the Falcons have been fantastic at home over the last couple years. The last meeting was close, and I see no reason to think that it\u2019ll be anything other than that this time around. I will guess that Al will go with his local team, the Falcons, so I\u2019ll take the Packers to riverside.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Seahawks @ Chicago(-10)<\/em><br \/>\nThe Seahawks have played inspired football the last couple of weeks. I think the Bears are the better team (unless Cutler flakes out), especially on defense, but I just don\u2019t see the Bears turning it into a blowout. I\u2019ll take the points.<\/p>\n<p>Jets @ New England(-9)<br \/>\nIt\u2019s a shame they can\u2019t delay this game for a few days, because the war or words leading into it has been so good that I\u2019ll be sad to see it go. The Welker thing the other day was fan-freaking-tastic; how he kept such a perfectly straight face I\u2019ll never know. Just the best stuff ever. I thought the Jets really played well last week in Indy. Again, I think the Pas are the better team, but I\u2019m guessing that the Jets can hang with them, no matter what happened last time.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday Ravens @ Pittsburgh(-3) Yes, Baltimore blew out the Chefs.
