MIN @ CHI : (CHI)
chicago may be the most underrated team in the nfc. and minnesota is yet to prove they've gotten their act together.
NYG @ DAL : (NYG)
i know dallas is hot right now, but they'll burn themselves right out against a well-rested giants team that's leading the league in points per game by 4.2 over their nearest competitor (san diego)</B>.
CIN @ TEN : (CIN)
after losing to a good team. cincinnati will reassume their old routine of beating bad teams this week in tennessee.
WAS @ KC : (KC)
washington has won 3 games unconvincingly against mediocre teams. kansas city has won 2 games unconvincingly against mediocre teams and lost 2 games unconvincingly against good teams. they're coming off a bye week, and this game is in arrowhead.
ATL @ NO : (ATL)
atlanta gave the defending champs a run for their money last week, even without michael vick. new orleans was in deep water (no pun intended)</B> even before losing their 2 biggest offensive threats to injury (horn and mcallister)</B>. it's too soon for chatam to make a difference, and horn won't be 100%.
CAR @ DET : (DET)
this is a real toss-up. i know i should pick carolina, but something keeps telling me not to. maybe it's because even though they beat new england, they barely squeaked by arizona and green bay, and... AND they LOST to new orleans and miami! and everybody knows detroit was really the first team to beat tampa, regardless of what the score says.
JAX @ PIT : (PIT)
stop counting pittsburg out. just stop it. everyone wanted to pick against them last week vs. san diego like they were yesterday's news already. they're not, and they're at home in the cold, rainy northeast against a team from florida.
MIA @ TB : (TB)
cadillac or not, tampa will roll over their cross-swamp rivals who will be too preoccupied with ricky's multimillion dollar bong collection to even think about being effective anytime soon.
CLE @ BAL : (CLE)
speaking of underrated teams. dilfer's putting up some good numbers this year, and baltimore isn't putting up much of anything.
SD @ OAK : (SD)
san diego may be the best 2-3 team in the league. the 3 games they've lost have been decided by an average of 3 points (4, 3, and 2)</B>, and were all against respectable teams. and they've put up solid wins against new england and the giants. oakland has randy moss and not much else.
NE @ Den : (NE)
this week is big for new england, who have yet to win a game convincingly, one more loss and they'll be written off by the other half of sports critics who haven't dismissed them already. denver has handled several good teams the past 4 weeks and has walked away with a win each time. but they underestimated miami week 1 and look what happened. hasn't anyone learned yet? never underestimate new england.
NYJ @ Buf : (BUF)
it's hard to pick games in which the bills are playing. you can try to dismiss your bias, but it's always there. vinny has had an extra week to learn his team's offense, but so has holcomb (assuming he'll start)</B>. this game will be closer than i'd like it to be. so, all bias aside, i think the bills can pull this one off. it's the rest of the season that concerns me.
Hou @ Sea : (SEA)
carr is sacked a record 47 times. houston players fight over who gets to stay on the bench. unconfirmed reports of desertion start to trickle in...
StL @ Ind : (IND)
this party's not over yet.
