16 Arizona +2.5
19 Oilers - 3.5

I don't think Indy's D will be able to shut down Young et al, but SF d hasn't impressed me either. I think Peyton will be able to throw, but getting it in the end zone is another ?...I think Indy will get a lot of field goals :)

Best of Luck,

Where'd He Go?

I think I'll steer clear of picking teams and try the total points this week. I'm truly glad it's not real $$$$$$ on this.

Over 43 1/2 Green Bay/Detroit
Over 38 1/2 Pittsburgh/Baltimore (Does Kordell finally break out?)

Bonus Pick: San Diego laying the 2 1/2 over Philly

P.S. Starpopper - I feel for you man. The Skins are that bad.....
Did you check out the banner at the Vet last Sunday? "May the Worst Team Lose"

Norv Turner has got to go....... He is definitely no Joe Gibbs an this won't be a repeat of 1981 (Unfortunately for you)

it goes against all grain of reasoning and history, but i'll take Baltimore (+5 1/2) over Pittsburgh. I think Art Modell's football teams have not won there since the 1970s or so and have something like an 4-23 record alltime in Pitt.

I also like Jacksonville (-4 1/2) over Buffalo. I dont think Bruce Smith will have his way with the Jags Oline ala the 49ers game.

Go Ravens (before the dang skins decide to win one...)

Best Bet ==> Patriots -6 over Jets
the next two weeks crowns the best in AFC east - Patriots

Chargers -3 over Eagles
Chargers the best defence in the league (yds)

This looks like a good week for underdogs, overall. My 2 picks are Atlanta -7.5 hosting New Orleans, and Buffalo +4.5 hosting Jacksonville. I'm hoping Billy Joe Overthrow giftwraps a few INTs for us. I would feel much more comfortable with my Atlanta pick with the current Vegas spread of 7. A number of lines have moved this week, including some heavy action on Da Bears against the Cowboys.
