Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans (+7)
I felt pretty wise last week after my big Houston prediction came through for me, but I’m off the bandwagon this week. The Colts are a better squad and the Texans aren’t nearly as good as they looked last week.
Colts 31 Texans 21

San Diego Chargers at Green Bay Packers (+6)
Another bandwagon de-railer here. San Diego got whooped last week and the Packers rolled, so I was hoping for a smaller line here. Green Bay has a solid defense, and this should be fairly close.
Chargers 24 Packers 21

Minnesota Vikings at Kansas City Chiefs (-3)
The Minnesota QB situation is ugly, much like the KC QB situation. I don’t anticipate many TVs outside of the the diehard Viking and Chief fans tuning into this bad boy.
Chiefs 20 Vikings 16

Detroit Lions at Philadelphia Eagles (-6)
Another line I wish was closer. Lost in all the complaining about Donovan McNabb was that he was actually pretty good in the 4th quarter last week. The Lions aren’t a great squad, and I’d expect McNabb silence the boo-birds for one week.
Eagles 31 Lions 16

Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots (-17)
The Patriots have already been coronated as the best team in the world by a large margin by most media types. I don’t know about that, but they are better than the Bills.
Patriots 30 Bills 14

Miami Dolphins at New York Jets (-3)
Have the Dolphins realized it was a mistake to sign Trent Green to be their QB yet?
Jets 24 Dolphins 14

San Francisco 49ers at Pittsburgh Steelers (-9.5)
San Fran haven’t exactly impressed in their two victories, but undefeated is undefeated. Sadly, they won’t be able to use that line next week.
Steelers 28 49ers 21

Arizona Cardinals at Baltimore Ravens (-8)
Can I just mention I hate the lines this week. The Cardinals looked much better last week, while I don’t think they can win, I expect a tight game.
Ravens 20 Cardinals 17

St. Louis Rams at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-4)
This is another pick’em game in my mind. Without Orlando Pace and on the road, I’m going against the Rams.
Buccaneers 24 Rams 17

Jacksonville Jaguars at Denver Broncos (-3.5)
David Garrard hasn’t been bad, but the Jaguars can’t score. That tends to be a problem in the NFL.
Broncos 17 Jaguars 13

Cincinnati Bengals at Seattle Seahawks (-3)
Giving up 50 points against the Browns isn’t good. I can’t imagine the Bengals defense is that bad and when in doubt, go with the AFC.
Bengals 31 Seahawks 28

Cleveland Browns at Oakland Raiders (-3)
Whole bunch of barnburner games this week. Either Josh McCown has something on the Raiders coaching staff or Dante Culpepper is completely terrible.
Browns 24 Raiders 20

Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons (+4.5)
I’m going against the Panthers until further notice. Joey Harrington don’t mess this up for me.
Falcons 20 Panthers 17

New York Giants at Washington Redskins (-4)
Geez, Carolina is a bigger favorite on the road than the Redskins are at home. Full Redskins-Giants preview here.
Redskins 27 Giants 13

Dallas Cowboys at Chicago Bears (-3)
Just a feeling, but Rex Grossman is going to be out-Rex Grossman’ed this week. Tony Romo is going to give the ball up at least twice this week.
Bears 20 Cowboys 14

Tennessee Titans at New Orleans Saints (-4)
Apparently the Titans are better than I thought. I think the Saints get their 1st win this week, but in typically Titan fashion, it’ll be close.
Saints 20 Titans 17
