I'll probably add to this, but here's what I'm playing early...:burnout
Texans +7 vs. Bills -- The Texans have consistently played better each week, beating the Panthers at home and giving Cincinnati all they could handle. Conversely, the Bills are not a strong football team at this point in the season. The Texans have scored 41 points over their last 2 games, while the Bills have scored a total of 11
Panthers -6 vs. Redskins -- This team doesn't get enough respect. Their record is 7-2 and they have beaten the defending champs twice this season as well as a very good Colts team. If the Redskins were playing the Bucs in Tampa, they would probably be 8 point underdogs. Carolina had a little bit of a let-down against the Texans, but rebounded nicely last week. Spurrier's team played above their heads last week and got the win at home...it will be different on the road.
Patriots -4 vs. Cowboys -- This team is strong and will be one of the final four in the AFC (with the Chiefs, Colts, and Titans). Despite a bunch of early turnovers against Denver, the Pats rallied to a big win on the road. This will likely be a defensive battle for the most part, but New England has the better QB and better offense.
6 point teaser...
Atlanta + 14.5 vs. New Orleans -- Atlanta showed some signs of life last week. They probably don't have enough to win two in a row, but should keep it relatively close.
Chiefs/Bengals over 40.5 -- KC is averaging around 30 points a game and the Bengals have been able to put points on the board as well as of late.
