1) Washington (-3) over NYJ
Spurrier is the best prepared game 1 coach in any league.[/I}
2) St. Louis (-1.5) over NYG
St. Louis is just a better team. Offensive firepower should shine through.
3) NE (PK) over Buffalo
Buffalo's defense is the key to NE's win.
4) Pittsburgh (-5) over Baltimore
Porter is a loss, but I don't trust Baltimore's offense on the road.
5) Jacksonville (+4) over Carolina
This should be a close game. I'll take the 4.
6) Houston (+14) over Miami
Nobody ever got rich giving 14 in the NFL.
7) Indy (-1) over Cleveland
Indy's offense will roll.
8) Denver (-6) over Cincinnati
Best coach vs. an amateur team in the NFL? Each choice. Give MS a season to prepare for Cincinnati? Give me a break.
9) Arizona (+4.5) over Detroit
Where's Barry S.?
10) Minnesota (+5) over Green Bay
GB is the most over rated team in the NFL.
11) KC (-6) over San Diego
Take KC @ home.

Dallas coach meet a Vickless Atlanta.
13) Seattle (-3) over New Orleans

14) San Francisco (-7) over Chicago
High powered offense takes it to Chicago.
15) Tennessee (-3) over Oakland
Oakland's year came and went.
16) Tampa Bay (+3) over Philadelphia
Philly's fans want the win. TB's defense is tough.

14) Dallas (+7.5) over NY Giants
Week 2 Picks:
1) NY Jets (+3) over Miami
Miami is an over rated team -- until they prove otherwise.
2) Baltimore (-2.5) over Cleveland
I think Baltimore will be ready for this game & will take the win by less-than-a-field-goal bite.
3) Indianapolis (-1.5) over Tennessee
I don't trust either team to cover. Indy
should score more week in and week out -- what a pathetic game 1. Titans sub kicker is alright, but I think a key field
goal miss might throw the game to my Indy pick.
4) Detroit (+6.5) over Green Bay
Detroit is scoring points. Green Bay is the
most over rated team until they prove they
can win -- they weren't ready for a home opener.
5) Atlanta (-3) over Washington
Atlanta is sharp & playing as a team. I just
can't pull the trigger with the Redskins on
the road.
6) Buffalo (-3) over Jacksonville
Drew and crew are playing over their heads. That doesn't mean I can't cash in until they come down to reality.
7) Houston (+8.5) over New Orleans
I love the Houston coaching staff. I'll play Houston until they get some Las Vegas support.
8) San Francisco (+3) over St. Louis
Two teams playing at the opposite ends
of the spectrum.
9) Kansas City (-3.5) over Pittsburgh
This is a tough, tough pick. I'll take the home team.
10) Arizona (+5) over Seattle
I think Seattle played well in game 1, but I think the home team can play well enough to cover here.
11) Denver (-3) over San Diego
Denver playing well enough to win. Recommendation to MS: cut Jake.
12) Oakland (-12) over Cincinnati
Over-the-hill gang plays a double-A semi-pro league team. 12 is way to many points to give, but I can't muster an argument for Cincinnat under any conditions.
13) Minnesota (-9) over Chicago
Stewart plays tough for Chicago. Erickson can't win in the NFL. Next.
14) Dallas (+7.5) over NY Giants
This is always a tough game. I think Parcells brings out a few sneak plays.
1) NY Jets (+3) over Miami
Miami is an over rated team -- until they prove otherwise.
2) Baltimore (-2.5) over Cleveland
I think Baltimore will be ready for this game & will take the win by less-than-a-field-goal bite.

16) New England (+5.5) over Philadelphia
Week 2 Picks (last two games):
15) Carolina (+9.5) over Tampa Bay
Carolina has an extra day to get ready and they are getting plenty of points. I'll take a chance on a line that should move to +10 by game time. I'll settle for +9.5.
16) New England (+5.5) over Philadelphia
I think New England will be eager to prove they are a better team than they showed in game 1. Philadelphia's offense is not in full swing or maybe Tampa Bay just shut it down. Both teams need the win. I'll take the points and a team that has an extra day of rest.

I haven't checked the injury report status -- but I do like Washington State coming into Colorado with a (+5). WSU played tough in game 1 before putting the scrubs in. Then WSU goes in & outplays Notre Dame -- @ Notre Dame! I haven't been too impressed with UofC. I've got to get a handle on the Pullman players' attitudes. That is a tough loss to overcome. Nose to the grindstone.
