Hey Greg,
Arizona getting 8.5 is just too many not to take. I hate getting caught up in the whole "this is their statement game" stuff, cuz if doesn't always pan out ... but, that said, this.. is.. their statement game
I honestly think the Cards have a shot to go in there and win this one. This is an undervalued team. As always though the biggest factor/wildcard in The Snake. We'll see if he can make enough plays and not make the stoopid mistakes.
As far as PITT, I hate that this is the "square side", but damn lloks good. Especially with Ray Lewis looking like he won't play. Great value here -- can you imagine what this line would be if Pittsburgh had not played so poorly the first few weeks and Balt hadn't covered all these games in a row? Basically I'm thinking the two teams will go back to what was expected of them somewhat.
And I don't know if its a bad thing that Bettis is out -- he seems to be spent. Zeroue is a much bigger threat, and Chris Muaffalotyxyxwienskafalla gives them a similar big physical back. With Maddox back there finding guys in the passing game, I just don't see Balt putting up enough points to win this game.
The Jets are the weakest of the three, but basically I looked at CLE non-existant running game -- negating NYJ's huge weakness, its run defense -- and incredibly banged up DBs. Plus, its NYJ 3rd straight home game. But this certainly is not a clash of the titans, so could go either way for sure.
Adding Chicago ML even
Coaching mismatch. Chicago excellent in domes. Minnesota sucks. Bears desperate. Daaaaa Bairz!
