I see a whole lot of people picking teams in division rivalry games. That's dangerous: GB - Det (WRs hurt, D suspect), Min - Chi (Vikes have won 5 and 6 games the last 2 years, and D still sucks), and NYG - Dal (Parcells factor + GMen unlikely to get the TOs they had last week). I'm not saying these teams will lose, but I'm staying away.
As for those taking Seattle, no thanks taking them on the road. Not me.
A couple of folks used as their logic the Texans not being able to win 2 in a row on the road. I sorta like that thinking, but what if Carr, Johnson, Mack, Gaffney, D Davis and Co. ARE for real? QBs can mature a lot between yrs 1 and 2. Saints weren't beating anyone at the end of last year, or last week for that matter.
To me, the obvious pick is the Raiders (as if there were an obvious pick, remembering Mia - Hou). A team with a winning tradition which has a sense of urgency with their aging vets after losing last week, now playing at home, against a team with a losing tradition and a 'here we go again' mentality after losing last week, now playing on the road.
I'll take Oakland.
