Some thoughts:
I'm not sure why WAS is favored on the road at PIT. I like SF, the Jints, and STL. BAL favored by 15.5 is the biggest road favorite I can ever remember. GB has historically struggled at MIN, and that was when they were good. I like JAX and TEN to kill CIN and CLE, maybe it would be good to do a teaser and bring those lines down by 6. ATL is way too big an underdog at NO. Look for a few INTs by the best CB tandem in the NFL, Buchanan and Ambrose (I know, I know, Philly has a great CB duo, too). It's a crime neither of them made the Pro Bowl, though the CBs that made it are pretty good, too. There were a few joke Pro Bowlers, including Christy, McDaniel, and Alstott of Tampa.
