Buff (-1) over Minny
I have not been sold on Miinny in the last two games. Buffalo gave NE all they could handle, played well against Miami and should have won the NYJ game. At home they should have a nice emotional home field advantage. Also the O-line is starting to come together and this is a good thing to take pressure off Losman (who IMO is AWFUL), but he still can make throws. The WR's of Buffalo are decent and it should be a good challenge for the Minny secondary. The D-line for Minny is big and strong but IMO the O-line can move them. Just nt sold on how good minny is and I think Buffalo has played well. They need to establish the run to get playaction working. The buffalo defense needs to get to Brad Johnson and he will throw the ball away. I expect this to be a grind it out game and Buffalo should use the home field advantage in the end.
KC (-7) over SF
KC is 7-1 coming off a bye covering the spread. SF has looked bad INO and they give up a TON of rushing yards. That will be a big factor considering LJ will get the bulk of the load today. Looking at Huard getting two weeks of practice with the first team and he should be able to be more effective. The KC defense needs to play up to the level the names on the back of the jerseys say. They have players but they have not come together. I also like the KC home field, this is a lot of chalk but as you saw last week SF struggles on defense. They have not played very tough teams and it should come back on them today.
Dallas (-9.5) over Tenn
The titans are that bad, Dallas off a bye should light it up against this defense. Starting Vince young is a good thing but the Dallas defense should give him problems. The running game and passing game for the cowboys should be extremely effective even if TO does not make it in today. The cowboys showed in preseason they have talent at the backup WR spots and given the chance they should make things happen. Bledso should get time and give that man time in the pocket and he is extremely effective and accurate. Like the team speed on dallas defense to make a few turnovers and I just don't think Tenn even at home has the ability to stay with Dallas. The only way Dallas plays bad is if they are looking past this bad team and at Philly but I don't think the Tuna will allow that to happen.
Small Play
Baltimore (-1) over SD
Like the Baltimore defense at home to make things more dificult than Rivers has seen against the poor teams he has played.
