Of course they can change in rank

Week # 9 The Week of Opposite Directions
-------------------------------------
New York JETS @ San Diego Chargers
Opposite direction game # 1.
The 2-5 Jets must take to the road, following their blowing of that 21-3 lead vs the Brownies (LW) while the host, 6-1 Chargers, are off their bye week.
Jets have been iffy to say the least, for the entire season ranking 27th in the NFL in"O" as well as 31st in "D".
In their 2 wins the Jets have a combined 100-yd deficit.
Also in weeks 3 thru 6 note that NY has allowed 211, 223 & 215 RYs which is absolute fodder for LaDamien (sp) & mates.
San Diego is 7-1 ATS off a SU win over Oakland.
NY is 12-30 ATS in non-division AFC contests.
:director: watch that hook!!
San Diego - 7.5
-----------------------------------
Minnesota Vikings @ Strap-on Bay Buccaneers
Opposite direction game # 2
Quite a show by the Vikes LW in their rout of Da Banged-up Bears
Total Domination which included a 24-12 FD edge, a 148-44 RY advantage & a 41:03 - 18:57 time edge.
Minny who is ranked dead last in the TO margin entering that one (-14) actually had a + 2 edge vs Chicago.
Vikings hadn't held an opponent to 7 pts in it's previous 36 games before last weekend.
TB on the otherhand is the cream of the NFL defensive crop, despite its ATS setback vs Panthers. Held Panthers to 9 FDs & 130 yards. Thus over its last 7 games TB has held its foes to 8 ppg.
Bucs are 22-13 ATS at home.
Vikings are 3-9 ATS as a RD & 1-7 ATS on non-division road.
The Buc stops here :nono: Tampa Bay - 7
--------------------------------
Philadelphia Eagles @ Chicago Bears
Opposite direction game # 3.
Bears have now dropped 5 straight both SU & ATS. Chicago saw its 7-1 spread run at Minny snap with LWs miserable showing. In that game the Bears had the ball for less than 19 minutes & just manages 44 RYs.
With their latest futility, the Bears have now allowed 29 ppg in their last 5 outings.
This one is a rematch for LYs playoff loss to the Eagles, when McNabb nearly single-handedly wreaked havoc on Chicago's then rock-ribbed "D".
Eagles wins have come by an average of 30pts, BUT the Eagles are 0-2 SU & ATS on the non-division road.
Bears are 10-2 ATS as non-division HDs.
Eagles are 10-3 ATS in Nov.
?guilas De Philadelphia - 7
--------------------------------------
Washington Redskins @ Seattle Seahgs
This one marks Seattles 2nd non-division HG of the season, with the Seahags winning in their 1st such setup 48-23 (Minny).
And it also marks Washingtons 1st RG since being bombarded 30-9 by the Packers.
Easy call for the Hags, right?
Not so fast deputy.
Skins are in off a more than 100 yd edge over Indy.
Washington is a superb 10-1 spread play as a Nov underdog, as well as, 8-1-1 ATS at the NFC West.
Seattle is just 3-11 ATS as a Nov favorite & giving a FG or more Seahags are 4-14-1 ATS in that role lately.
:director: Looking for some "Skin + 3
---------------------------------------
Back by popular demand .......Postal Pick@!
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Brownies
A week ago Minnesota became the 1st same season revenge play of the year & came in easily hosting Da Bears.
This is revenge # 2.
Steelers took the Brownies in OT just 5 weeks ago.
Cleveland aint nuttin special but can't overlook coming back from a 21-3 deficit at the Jets, behind Couch's 2nd 300 PY outing.
In that game the Brownies had a 16 minute time edge over NY.
The last 2 times Cleveland hosted Pittsburgh they exchanged 3-pt wins.
Steelers have topped 27 pts in all Maddox starts but aren't the best in this type setup: 6-13 ATS as a grass RF.
Brownies are 6-1-1 ATS as HDs.
Call out the dog catcher.....
Revenging home division dog on loose..
Cleveland + 3.5 & maybe OUTRIGHT !!! kurby <- Dog
---------------------------------------
San Francisco 49ers @ Oakland Raiders
A few short weeks ago the Raiders looked to be on a 1 way trip to the SB opening w/ 4 easy wins accompanied by covers of 7, 17, 20 & 15 pts.
That was then this is now....
Oakland has gone 0-3 SU with spread losses of 23, 15 & 12.5 pts.
AMAZING!!!
I believe this is the game that puts them back on the right track.
49ers are in off a 1-pt cover vs the Cardinals. In a game that featured a 5-0 edge in the all-important TO column.
That won't happen with the Raiders & their # 1 rated "O".
Oakland is 13-4 ATS vs the NFC
San Fran is only 1-10 ATS in Nov off a SU won.
