For the contest, my picks are Washington +0.5 at the NY Jets, and Buffalo -11.5 hosting Philadelphia.
TEN +9.5 @ Jax looks interesting. This looks like a tough divisional dogfight. Fred Taylor is banged up, and may not play. The key is Neil O'Donnell subbing for Steve McNair, which is a big upgrade. The counterargument is that O'Donnell is a very sackable QB, and Capers may blitz him into submission.
It'll be interesting if Shanahan loses it today. He hasn't stabbed anyone in the back for at least a month now, and he's overdue. <g>
Initially, I liked the Patsies over the Jints, but that has become the chic pick this week, and looks dangerous.
Overall, I like WAS, TEN, GB as dogs, and ATL, BUF, CAR, BAL, SD, and OAK as favorites.
