2-1-1 after last week.
Vikings -5
After beating the Cardinals at home in week one, the Lions went back to their old ways against the Packers on the road. The Vikings will not be looking past the lowly Lions, because a win this week in Detroit will give them a 3-0 start against the NFC north division and a quick leg up in the North. The Vikings offense is just too good to not cover this game on the road.
Seahawks -3
The Rams squeaked by the 49ers at home last week. The Seahawks have yet to be tested after playing an overrated Saints team at home and the terrible Arizona squad in the desert. Expect Holmgren to have his squad extremely prepared for the Rams. This is just a classic case of one team being more prepared and better coached than the other. It doesn't hurt to be at home either. I take the Hawks.
Buffalo +3
Buffalo has established itself as one of the best teams in the AFC after two weeks of the season. The offense is clicking on all cylinders, and the defense is much improved. Miami comes into this game as a home favorite, but their defense has not played well at all thus far. In week one they gave the game to the Texans without ever forcing a turnover or sack. In week 2, they did a lot of bending without breaking in allowing Testaverde to throw for 370+ yards. The Bills passing game behind the throwing arm of Bledsoe is arguably the best in the NFL. I choose to take the points in this one.
