Buffalo Bills at Indianapolis Colts
The Colts have the second-worst run defense in the NFL since 1960 giving up 5.3 yards per carry and are still undefeated. The Peyton Manning show has been able to compensate for the terrible defense. How much longer can the offense bail out the defense? My guess is another weekThe Bills can’t defend the pass.
The Bills will look to take advantage of the Colts terrible run defense even with out starting RB Willis McGahee. Backup RB Anthony Thomas is a tough runner and should have a good day running the ball inside the tackles which is his specialty. The Bills are coming off a great victory against the upstart Green Bay Packers and will have momentum heading into Indianapolis. Will they become the first AFC East team to beat the Colts? I don’t think so.
Current Odds are Colts -11.5 and the total is 45
Pick: Take the Colts -11.5. Bills are starting a back up RB and their QB sucks.
Cleveland Browns at Atlanta Falcons
Falcons are coming off a devastating 30-14 loss to the Lions. Atlanta’s defense allowed 435 yards of total offense and flat out got their asses whipped all over the field. Michael Vick turned the ball over and had a bad game. They will need a win to keep pace with the New Orleans Saints. A loss to the Browns would send them in a tail spin they may not come out of. Look for Michael Vick to run the ball more often this week. He doesn’t want to be in a 3 and long situations. He’s not very good at completing 3rd down passes.
The Browns gave the Chargers all they could handle last week and are playing better than of late. Head Coach Romeo Crennel has gotten his team to play hard and it’s been paying off. They will need to jump Atlanta early to have a chance in this game.
Current Odds are Falcons -8 and the total is 42
Pick: Take the Falcons -8. The Browns are terrible especially at the QB position.
Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings
The Packers pissed last weeks game down their legs. They gained twice as many offensive yards than the Bills and lost the game. Turnover killed their chances in a very winnable game. Packers QB Brett Favre was on his job but his supporting cast could not hang on to the ball. Brett has got to be licking his chops when he visits Minnesota. Tom Brady passed all over them on Monday night and made it look real easy.
The Vikings have been in a tail spin since their huge road win at Seattle. They are ridding a 2 game losing streak and were shut out on Monday night. The defense will need to step up and stop someone or they will be in trouble. Vikings RB Chester Taylor has to put this team on his back this weekend if they plan on winning. The need to run the ball and chew the clock to keep Brett Favre on the sidelines.
Current Odds are Vikings -5.5 and the total is 39.5¼
Pick: Take the Packers +5.5. Tom Brady passed all over them and so will Brett Favre.
Houston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars
Payback! The Texans upset the Jaguars 27-7 in Houston in week 6. Jacksonville is looking for revenge, u can bet on that.
David Garrard will start his third consecutive game this week and Byron Leftwich is bitter. He better get his SH** together or he will lose his job. This week he’s healthy and will have to watch. The good thing for the Jags is that they play well at home. The defense is stellar and should give the offense plenty of opportunities to put points up on the board.
Last week Houston had a chance to upset the Giants last Sunday till a costly turnover on the potential game-winning drive ended their chances. Rookie RB Wali Lundy has given the Texans life in the running game which is allowing QB David Carr to find WR Andre Johnson down the field. Can you believe Andre Johnson is the leagues leading receiver? They will be tough to beat even in Jacksonville.
Current Odds are Jaguars -10.5 and the total is 37.5
Pick: Take the Jaguars -10.5. They will thump Houston at home. Payback for week 6
Kansas City Chiefs at Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins, behind back up QB Joey Harrington whipped the undefeated Bears ass in Chicago. They will look to do the same to the Chiefs when they come to town on Sunday. It seems like the Dolphins may have a little momentum and will finish off the year strong. RB Ronnie Brown is finding his groove and so is Joey Harrington.
The Chiefs are also playing with a back up QB, Damon Huard. Damon has played well in relief of Trent Green. Damon has played well enough to keep Trent on the sidelines this weekend even thought Trent is ready to go. Chiefs RB Larry Johnson has been a monster, this guy looks unstoppable. He makes Damon’s job very easy, all his has to do this week is hand off to LJ 30 times this week and notch up another victory.
Current Odds is a pick, even and the total is 40
Pick: Take the Chiefs at a pick. Larry Johnson has another monster day.
New York Jets at New England Patriots
Both teams come into this divisional showdown coming off loses. The Jets are coming off a much needed bye week and had time to think about the heart breaking loss to the Browns two weeks ago. Jets QB Chad Pennington has been up and down all season but has hasn’t had two bad games in a row. The Patriots secondary is banged up and the Jets will be looking to throw the ball all afternoon like the Colts did last Sunday.
The Patriots are a good team, they haven’t lost 2 games in a row in over 4 years. They beat the Jets 24-17 in week 2 of the season and have played well all season. The lost to the Colts last week was nothing to worry about. The Patriots beat themselves by turning the ball over 5 times and only lost by a TD.
Current Odds are New England – 10.5 and the total is 39.5
Pick: Take the Patriots -10.5. The Jets haven’t beat a team with a winning record all year.
Baltimore Ravens at Tennessee Titans
Steve McNair returns to Nashville and faces the team that let him go last summer. He’ll be looking for payback. He’s got the Ravens on a roll and look like Super bowl contenders. The Ravens defense is in top form so look out.
The Titans two-game winning streak ended last week, they got worked over by Jacksonville to the point of embarrasement. The Titans and their young quarterback will have up and downs this season as they look to get playing time for their future franchise players. The are in for an ass whipping at home this week.
Current Odds are Ravens -7 and the total is 38
Pick: Take the Ravens -7. A royal beat down is coming.
San Diego Chargers at Cincinnati Bengals
This matchup of AFC contenders is a crucial game because the teams are all battling each other for possible wildcard playoff birth. With Denver and Baltimore are leading their respective divisions both teams really need this win to stay alive for post season play.
The Bengals have been a disappointment this year, they are a .500 team at the midway mark their offense hasn’t been near as good as it was last year. Carson Palmers bum knee hasn’t healed all the way and it’s messing with his throwing mechanics. So he says.
The Chargers remain tied with the Broncos for first place in the AFC West after a victory over the Browns last week. RB Ladanian Tomlinson is a MVP candidates with an NFL-leading 15 touchdowns and 828 yards rushing. Starting QB Phillip Rivers has been outstanding all year managing the game. The defense will have to do without pro-bowl LB Shawne Merriman, who is serving a four-game suspension for taking steroids. The rest of the defense will have to play well to keep the Bengals offense under control.
Current Odds are Chargers -1 and the total is 48
Pick: Take the Bengals +1. San Diego’s secondary is very suspect and will be exposed by Carson Palmer, Chad Johnson and TJ Housawhatever.
Washington Redskins at Philadelphia Eagles
The Redskins got a last second victory against their arch rivals Dallas Cowboys last week. What a sweet win for the Redskins. A victory like that is something they can build on. They have been a huge disappointment all season and a win in Philly can really turn things around and will give them an outside shot at post season play.
The Eagles are coming off a much needed bye , they need to find a doctor to stop the bleeding a 3 game losing streak brings on. Inconsistant play on defense and questionable play calling in the 4th quarter on offense has contributed to the losing streak.
QB Donavan McNabb is having a stellar year and cant be blamed for the loses. The blame should rest on the coaching staff…That being said Andy Reid better get his SH** together or he may be the teams scapegoat if they continue to slide and miss the post season. This team has too much talent not to win.
Current Odds are Eagles -7 and the total is 43
Pick: Take the Eagles -7. This should be an easy game for them at home.
San Francisco 49ers at Detroit Lions
Hiring Mike Martz was the best thing that could have happened to the Detroit Lions. They now have a powerful, up tempo offense that can score on anyone. The problem they have is that the defense can’t stop anyone. Detroit needs to score 25+ points to win games and that wont get them into post season play. 25 points should be enough to get a W against the 49ers.
The 49ers defense showed up last week and held the Vikings to just 2 field goals. Can they show up again this week and hold the potent Lions offense? The 49ers have seen the Mike Martz offense twice a year when he was coaching the Rams. Will that knowledge play a roll on the outcome of the game? No, I don’t think so.
Current Odds are Lions -6 and the total is 43.5
Pick: Take the Lions -6. 49ers are not ready for a Lions balanced offense.¼br />
Denver Broncos at Oakland Raiders
Mike Shanahan enjoys beating up on the Raiders more than any other team. The Broncos are looking for the season sweep after they won the Week 6 matchup 13-3. Denver defense is dominate and the offense is up and down. The Defense is carrying this team and will continue to do so the Sunday.
The Raiders embarrassed themselves last week on Monday Night Football. They were shut out and looked like the worse team in NFL history. There really isn’t anything I can say good about this franchise….They flat out suck.
Current Odds are Broncos -9 and the total is 33.5
Pick: Take the Broncos -9. This is a total miss-match. The Raiders suck.
New Orleans Saints at Pittsburgh Steelers
Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger is struggling and so are the defending Superbowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Four games behind divisional leader Baltimore, the Steelers are playing only for pride the rest of the way. There will be no post season play. That makes them very dangerous.
New Orleans QB Drew Brees looks like he’s heading to the pro bowl again this year. He’s the perfect fit for this Saints offense, he makes good decisions on the fly. spreads the ball around unlike Big Ben. Reggie Bush looks like he’s a bust and it really dosen’t matter. Brees is getting it done and the offense is domininate.
Current Odds are Steelers-5 and the total is 45.5
Pick: Take the Saints +5. Big Ben’s bean is still not right and he will stink up the field again.
Dallas Cowboys at Arizona Cardinals
There is no quarterback controversy in Dallas anymore, it’s Tony Romo’s team. Unfortuanatly the rest of the team has been playing consistently. The Cowboys have not won two games in a row all season. They have been a disappointment so far.
Arizona coach Dennis Green is on the hot seat, and his team has been a disappointment so far just like the Dallas Cowboys. Arizona WR Larry Fitzgerald will be back so QB Matt Leinart will have all his weapons this Sunday. Running back Edgerrin James also is looking to bounce back in the second half of the season. He sure misses Peyton Manning.
Current Odds are Cowboys -6.5 and the total is 43
Pick: Take the Cowboys – 6.5. I expect the Cowboys to run all over the AZ defense.
Saint Louis Rams at Seattle Seahawks
This is a rematch of the Oct. 15 matchup in which the Seahawks stole a 30-28 last minute victory in Saint Louis. This game likely will determine the winner of the NFC West.
The Seahawks wont have RB Shaun Alexander (broken foot) or QB Matt Hasselbeck (sprained knee) in the line up this week. Back up QB S. Wallace has been playing well in place of Hasselbeck, the same cannot be said about back up RB M Morris. He sucks.
The Rams, after a 4-1 start to the season, have lost three in a row. First-year coach Scott Linehan must get his team back in line. They will look to air it out and put up 30+ points in this rematch. The Seahawks are vulnerable and the Rams may be too much for them to handle this week at home.
Current Odds are Seahawks -3 and the total is 44.5
Pick: Take the Rams +3. Seahawks wont be able to keep up with a back up QB & RB.
Chicago Bears at New York Giants
Both teams come in with injury issues. The Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher, is battling a bad foot and might not play, and their top wide receiver, Bernard Berrian came out of last week’s loss with a rib injury. In addition, safety Mike Brown already had been lost for the season. Rex Grossman has serving up INT’s like they are going out of style lately. This squad looks like they may start a losing streak.
The Giants already have lost outside linebacker LaVar Arrington (Achilles) for the season, and defensive end Osi Umenyiora (hip) and cornerback Sam Madison (hamstring) have missed games recently. Wide receiver Plaxico Burress (back) was inactive for Week 9, and Michael Strahan, sustained a foot injury that will keep him out 2-4 weeks. They are in trouble.
Current Odds are Giants -1 and the total is 37.5
Pick: Take the Giants -1. The Bears offense is struggling and the Giants will pound them.
