Action I feel comfortable on this week is as follows:
Giants-Eagles over 41.5 - These teams will score. Nuff' said. Does anyone see this game ending 14-10 or anything similar?
Green Bay +2 - Favre will respond at home vs. New Orleans. After playing Chicago last week this game will look like it is moving in slow motion for him. Also, if A. Green could post 100+ on CHI, I think it is safe to say he should put up similar numbers vs. the Saints in Lambue.
San Francisco +3 - I see this being a very high-scoring affair. Both teams should go back and forth and I see this game being decided on who makes the last play on the last drive of the game. I'll go with the home team plus a FG.
NYJ + 6 - The Jets are coming off an emotional victory while the Patriots and their leader are squabbling with the coaches and managment. This is no longer a "Herman Edwards coached" Jets team. Mangini's familiarty with New England and the way they have schemed against Pennington in the past should help and while the Jets may not win, I think they keep this game within a TD at home.
Tennessee + 12 - In my opinion, Tennessee is an underrated team defensivley against the run and I see Phillip Rivers having to air it out more then he did last week. Also, 3-4 looks are not the norm in the NFL so a team like SD can give a team a fit in pass protection with their 3-4 blitzes. Tennessee just finished playing a team with a 3-4 base defense so I don't see them having the same protection problems vs. SD that Oakland had on Monday night. I think SD will definitley win the football game; but I think TEN will keep the score closer then 12 pts. That is a lot in the National Football League.
Tampa Bay - ATL over 36.5 - ATL will be without John Abraham and possibly Patrick Kearney* also. Tampa's offense is not as bad as it looked last week and even if Kearney does play, the loss of Abraham brings ATL's overall defense and pass rush back to earth. On the flip side, while Mike Vick may not put up gaudy fantasy numbers on an every-week-basis, he does lead ATL's offense to real NFL points. This game should post AT LEAST a 21-17 finish which would be an over and a Vegas victory.
Happy gambling and both your thoughts on this week's games as well as your opinions on my picks are appreciated.
