Five road teams are favored this weekend in NFL action. The most surprising spread to me was New Orleans being favored in Philly. I'm guessing if McNabb was 100% the Eagles would be at least a 3 point favorite.
Texans +6.5 @ Titans - I like the Titans by a TD at home. Every year people say Houston will finally be good. Not this year, Titans cover
Patriots -3.5 @ New York Jets - It's hard to go with the Pats on the road after last week, but they always surprise us. Pats cover 3.5
Bengals +9 @ Green Bay - Cincinnati is bad, really bad. I like Green Bay to cover 9
Vikings -10 @ Detroit - Is this a broken record? Detroit is bad, really bad. I like the Vikings to serve up enough points to cover at Detroit
Saints -1 @ Eagles - We could have a shootout on our hands here. If McNabb was healthy I'd easily take the Eagles in this one. Without him, I still think the Eagles cover at home
Panthers +6 @ Falcons - Is 6 the point spread or the over/under on Delhomme interceptions? Falcons cover 6 at home
Rams +9.5 @ Washington - St. Louis is a pretty awful team too. If Washington could get some production at QB, they could be a pretty good team. I think they win, but Rams are within 9.5
Cardinals +3 @ Jaguars - Far trip for the Cards, who didn't look so hot last week. I like the Jags at home
Seahawks +1.5 @ 49ers - Two teams who looked suprisingly good in week one. I think the Seahawks look a little better and cover 1.5 at Candlestick
Bucs +5 @ Buffalo - The Bills fanbase may be the only more deflated group of players than the Bills football team after the disaster on Monday Night Football. I think they look to rebound with a solid effort against a weak TB team, Bills cover 5 at home
Browns +3 @ Denver - Again, two stinkers here. Who plays less crappy? Me thinks the Browns win this one outright- take the points
Steelers -3 @ Chicago - Chicago needs some wide receivers, bad. Steelers, even without Polamalu, should handle the Bears with no problem. Pitts covers
Ravens +3 @ San Diego - West coast trip for the Ravens, always tricky. The Chargers are very banged up. I hate picking Chargers games because I'm usually wrong. So I'm going with Chargers to cover 3 (hope I'm wrong)
Giants +3 @ Dallas - Two teams who will most likely underachieve this year. Can't wait to see the new stadium (sarcasm). The Dallas fans will be pumped up for this one and should fuel a win, Dallas covers at home
Colts -3 @ Miami - Both teams could struggle a bit on offense this year (crazy to say that of a Peyton Manning team, he just doesn't have enough weapons around him). I still think the Colts are at least 3 points better than the Dolphins, even on the road
I like these a lot better than last week's 8-8. Time will tell.
And Lendale, don't forget your shoes. You got a game agains the Texans to win/cover. Hoorah.
