Atl (-3.5) over TB
Yes TB has played well against the falcons but the Vick experience has their backs against the wall and they have to win this game if they want to keep any hopes of playoffs alive. TB has had a tough time stopping the run and I think they come to run the ball and run at will. If Vick holds onto the ball they should win this by double digits. There has been a lot of talk about benching Vick but the falcons know that his ability to run and make plays means too much for this Falcons squad.

Tenn (ML) over Houston
Going with the hot team. Young has the swagger and has been able to lead his team and they have moved the ball well. Holding onto the ball is a problem for Tenn but they should be able to move the ball against the POOR Houston defense. I watched Houston last week and they cannot throw the ball well and Tenn should stack the box and take away the running game limiting even more for Houston.

SD (-7) over Den
I think Denver is over hyped on defense. SD ran wild on them before and will do so again without Wilson in the middle. Cutler making his 2nd start against a very aggressive defense means rushed throws, turnovers and limited productivity. Add in this is a home game for the chageres and I like them to win by a bit more than the number.

Other plays without time for writeups:

NE (-3.5) over Mia
Better on the road than at home. Miami showed last week they are one dimensional and if NE puts 9 in the box Harrington will make mistakes.

NO (+7) over Dall
Let down for the cowboys. They are not good agianst the number the week after the NYG game and NO has the passing attack to get it done.

Might have one or two more later.

Cheers

Chicago (-3.5) over St. Louis 1st half
I am just not sure St. Louis will be able to score on Chicago. I am kind of concerned with Grossman's play but I think the Bears should be able to run all over the Rams defense. The St. Louis line is not great, Chicago should be in the back field all day. Bulger is hurting and back up is Gus Foerotte (sp) and it is not good to be rusty against the bears secondary. The running game for St. Louis is a very smash mouth style, Jackson can break one outside but he is a quick north south runner and likes to get his weight under his pads. Urlacher might reinjury his ribs tonight if Jackson keeps hammering into him, but I still like Urlacher in that match-up. The bears special teams should also do very well against St. Louis. Everything including attitude screams bears to me but I can't think a bit of a let down after the playoff birth and St. Louis being home. My thought is the last MNF game the bears were in they got lucky against zona and if Lovie wants to motivate he could use that and the poor QB play. I do not think the bears can afford to coast the way they have been playing offense and I just don't see the Rams moving the ball.
