Looks like a great week for dogs.

POW Ny Giants +5.5 - I know Vikings are on roll but before season started everyone would have agreed Giants had more talent than Vikings. Vikings offensive line will be seriously tested by Strahan and Holmes. BIG key here is motivation. With a loss Giants fall to 2-5 while Vikings are in catbird seat for home field throughout NFC. Giants have owned Vikings going back a couple years to NFC Championship as they held Moss and Culpepper in check. I look for the Giants to not turn the ball over and for Fassel to reach into his bag of motivational tricks to pull off the upset in this one.

Best
New Orleans -2 (Saints played Panthers tough a couple of weeks ago and Panther O was exposed last week. I look for Saints to get early lead and make Delhomme play catch up.)

Detroit +3 (Bears are physically beat up - 2nd string quarterback, 3rd string running back, no Marty Booker on offense. Mariucchi needs to get players attention that he can get the road monkey off their back and this is the week especially after poor home performance against Dallas)

Arizona +7 (Arizona is 11-1 ats after bye while 49ers have yet to win on the road. Defense had been terrible on road giving up about 26ppg.)

Cleveland +5.5 (Holcomb starts against defense that has been getting it done with mirrors. Brownies are 3-0 ats on the road so far this year)

Good luck

Thanks for your comments. I'm quite skeptical of Cleveland though. Their quarterbacking is mediocre and rushing defense is poor.

I would be worried about Browns rushing defense if they were playing a team that actually could run the ball. Patriots top runner right now is Faulk who has trouble holding onto the ball and Cloud who doesn't get many carries. Cleveland is a strange team that plays better on the road than they do at home and they need to win here to stay in mediocre AFC Central race. Thanks for the comments.
