[off_the_wall]

YTD: 7-10-1

Atlanta -3. Atlanta has more on both sides of the ball so I'll take them to win outright.

Buffalo +10. 10 points seems a bit rich for my liking for this Niners team, even over a widely uneven Bills squad.

Cincy -3.5. Cincy at home and only spotting 3.5 to Miami, I'll take that risk.

Baltimore -6. Ravens have had 10 days to prepare for this, I think they handle KC here.

New Orleans -3.5. The Saints have to win one at some point. San Diego is 3-1 but don't be mislead (the three wins are over Oakland, Tennessee and KC).

Big 4-1 week last week to move up to 9-10-1 on the season. 500 here I come!

Atlanta -3: Agree with off the wall. Even on the road, I don't think the Skins can stay within 3. But, I guess with RG III all things are possible.

Denver +6.5: People are going to say the Pats are back after dropping 52 against the Bills last week. But that same Bills team gave up how many points to the Jets? I still think the Pats win, but the Broncos keep it close.

Houston -8: The Jets stink.

Cincy -3.5: Miami has only lost by 3 the last two weeks, but I think Cincy will take care of business at home.

Carolina -3: Carolina is very inconsistent, but I still don't think Seattle is all that good. Carolina wins by 10.

I like Houston to roll the Jets.

The Giants typically blow this game (-9 at home vs. garbage team) but last week was a game they usually win, so maybe they flip the script this year. Not a wholehearted endorsement, but I'm tempted.

I like Atlanta too... their offense is unstoppable and the Skins couldn't stop a high school team. ATL is scoring 40+ this game and I am not sure how the Skins get to 35 on them.

YTD: 19-19-3

Atlanta - I see this as being a TD game, although Washington could surprise. Atlanta needs to prove they can win on the road.
Philly - Pittsburgh wins, but only by 3 points.
NY GIANTS - They have a habit of playing down to their opponent, especially when they've played CLE in the past, but the loss to the Eagles means they have a lot to prove this week.
MINNESOTA - Christian Ponder looks good and Tennessee's defense looks bad.
CINCINNATI - It doesn't matter if Miami has a great run defense because of the capable passing ability of Andy Dalton.
Seattle - Will need to prove they can win on the road sooner or later. Why not now?
Denver - I can see this being a tight game.
Buffalo - SF will win, but by more than 10? Tough call.
NEW ORLEANS - Going 0-5 by losing at home to an out of conference opponent? That might be asking too much suspension of disbelief.
Houston - Fish, meet barrel.

Atlanta - I see this as being a TD game, although Washington could surprise. Atlanta needs to prove they can win on the road. - Atlanta won by 7 on a late minute TD.
Philly - Pittsburgh wins, but only by 3 points. - Pittsburgh won by 2 on a FG at the buzzer.
NY GIANTS - They have a habit of playing down to their opponent, especially when they've played CLE in the past, but the loss to the Eagles means they have a lot to prove this week. - Big win, but I didn't think they'd give up 27 to the Browns.
MINNESOTA - Christian Ponder looks good and Tennessee's defense looks bad. - Ding.
CINCINNATI - It doesn't matter if Miami has a great run defense because of the capable passing ability of Andy Dalton. - Definitely a surprise.
Seattle - Will need to prove they can win on the road sooner or later. Why not now? - Why not indeed.
Denver - I can see this being a tight game. - This should have been closer. Oh well.
Buffalo - SF will win, but by more than 10? Tough call. - Apparently not that tough.
NEW ORLEANS - Going 0-5 by losing at home to an out of conference opponent? That might be asking too much suspension of disbelief.
Houston - Fish, meet barrel.

Not a bad week. 5-3 heading into tonight.
Finished 6-4. Perhaps the Texans should work on their special teams this week... YTD 25-23-3.

[Judge Jude]

0-1 for season
Redskins almost going up 10-0 late 2nd qtr, and getting 3, then Cundiff missed chip shot and RGIII concussion that I should have predicted.

Have Jets Mon nite

With San Diego's loss I move to 26-26-4 on the year. Tonights slam dunk should put me up for the year. Of course if I was really betting I would be down the juice. Go Houston!!

"I will play this week

I led the vast majority of these 2 games, but my QB in one game got injured with a 3rd-qtr outright lead, and I settle for 1-1...
