NYJ (-3) over Miami
Chad vs Brett on new teams. The jets have a better team. I just don't think the fins are where they need to be yet. The jets are not superbowl bound but they did have a pretty good offseason. Not to mention #4 but Fanica should be a huge pick up for them on the line.

Jax (-3) over Tenn
JAX is a vert good defense that now has an offense coming around the bend. Young has not shown any ability to consistantly throw the ball down field and now after a few years the scouting report is out on him and he is less of a weapon throwing the ball. He is good but I do not think he will have a good day with the jags defensive front today.

NO (-3) over TB
Strides on offense, thats what the saints did this off season. They add a pass catching TE and Deuce is back in the power back role taking some pressure off Bush. Some money was spent defensively and Vilma should be a good pick up but TB is no gonna have an easy time stopping this defense.

Detroit (-3) over Atl
OK this is a rebuilding year for Atl, they have a good running back but they had that last year. They still have a rookie qb and now no all pro tight end. The defense is good but the lions looked very sharp offensively when they had the starting group in. Roy Williams and Calvin Johnson are studs and they need Kitna to trust is he throws it, they will get it.

St.L (+8.5) over Philly
Play on the points. Yes St. Louis was bad lasy year butPhilly is without their two best WR. The St.L line got better in the off season and even though this once powerful offense has gone to sleep they still have a power running back, top WR and all pro QB. They have issues at line though.

Dallas (-6) over Cleveland
Better defense against a QB with the tendency to throw picks. Dallas is a good team and I think Cleveland spent wasted money on defense.


Ariz (-2.5) over SF
SF is in for a long year. Even though the Cards are not great they have to stop Gore and SF has nothing.

Cheers

GL Irish. I like all your field goal picks. I agree with your analysis on the Phil/StL game but just can't put anything on the Cardinals yet. Cowboys and Cleveland should be a good one. Can't believe I'm saying this....Go Cowboys :mj06:
