1) NY JETS (+6½) over NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
Jets always play NE tough. Injuries on both teams.

2) PITTSBURGH STEELERS (-5) over CINCINNATI
I believe Porter is back. Bengals played one of the oldest/overrteams in the league. Kitna wouldn't be in the league 20-years ago. Dilution of to many teams.

3) JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (+8) over INDIANAPOLIS
Indy plays to the level of their competition. Until I see Indy's A-game week in & week out -- I'll take 8.5 from the opposing team.

4) MINNESOTA VIKINGS (-4½) over DETROIT
It's tough to take the Vikes in the rivalry game -- but I have to with the Lions defense.

5) TENNESSEE TITANS (-5) over NEW ORLEANS
NO has 5-defensive starters out -- Titans are playing horrible ball - especially witnessing Oakland play the Bengals.

6) TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (-5) over ATLANTA
TB Gruden will have team sharp. I'll bet there has been some extra kicking drills.

7) KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (-8) over HOUSTON
Everyone is all over Houston -- at home & KC playing on the read. I'll take the hot team & stay on the KC band wagon.

8) NY GIANTS (+2½) over WASHINGTON
Giants appear to me to be the better team -- and will overcome the emotional drain from last week. I may come to respect the Redskins in weeks to come but not here.

9) GREEN BAY PACKERS (-8½) over ARIZONA
Arizona is the worst team in the league.

10 SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (-3) over ST. LOUIS
Seattle playing terrific ball at home. Rams don't impress me.

11) BALTIMORE RAVENS (-1) over SAN DIEGO
I like the trend of Baltimore (upswing) and don't like the trend of SD (downswing).

12) SAN FRANCISCO 49ers (-7) over CLEVELAND
I think some points will be on the board. I think Pochman coming in a slight edge for SF.

13) BUFFALO BILLS (+3) over MIAMI
I can't bet against a team playing on all 8-cylinders.

14) DENVER BRONCOS (-5.5) over OAKLAND
Denver on the upswing and Oakland on the downswing. Big rivalry in Denver - enough said.
