Alright, here are my picks for this week. Best of luck to all today.
Top Picks
======
***** Oakland -3 - Oakland has burned me in the past, but they are now starting a new QB that looked decent in a 4th quarter attempted comeback against KC , and they are facing one of the worst pass defenses in the league. I believe Detroit is going to make Oakland look like a superbowl contender again. Of course that will only last a week.
**** Chicago -2.5 - I had this as a five star pick and it lost one star due to Latomlison. SD's RB will keep them in the game, but in the end the Chicago will prevail by at least a FG. If both A. Thomas and Booker make their return, they will shine by at least a TD.
**** NE +2.5 - Wow, who's holding on to the dream that Denver is a healthy team?? I'm a bit surprised at the spread, and I believe that we should all take advantage of it. I don't see Danny Kannell carrying this offense, and although Portis will have a great game, he won't be able to carry the entire team for a win. If pressed, I would even take NE -3. Kept to four stars because of Denver's home advatage (Mile high stadium).
Other Picks
========
*** NYG -3 - What can I say, they are looking pretty good.
*** Indy +3 - Tough upset call, but I don't see the phins dominating the game.
*** CAR -6.5 - Houston's D is hurting a bit, making Carolina's spread more attrative.
*** ARI +3 - Sure Cin is looking better than expected, but I still believe that Shipp and Blake (big game for former Bangel?) will carry ARI them to a close game.
*** DAL -5 - Dallas has a great pass D, against a team with a healing QB that stands to take some abuse today.
** NO +8 - Maybe I'm crazy, but New Orleans may have a chance to keep this thing close with Deuce. Outright, I believe TB will win.
** BAL -6.5 - The QBs in this game will be a wash, but Lewis will bring the win home.
** SEA -5 - The only reason this game is a two star is because I'd rather see -3. Pittsburgh has many problems, and they should continue this week.
** STL -5 - How deep can STL go before they hit a bad player? Faulks back-up (Harris) is strong, and Bulger has been a blessing. We haven't seen SF's offense shine in a while, and this may be the game, therefore the two star rating.
** PHL -4.5 - Mcnabb needs to prove some more, and ATL is a good team to try to shine against as a QB. Both teams are terrible, but PHL has the edge with Buckhalter.
** GB +4.5 - Tough pick, but after a bye week GB will come ready to play. I haven't looked at the over, but I bet it's at least 49.. If not jump on it.
