Pats -4 (bought hook)
We will find out today what last week meant for this Pats team. We all know that usually the Pats come back raw after a loss the week before. Will they bounce back this week? Or did the Saints point out some major flaws in this Pats squad? Brady is hurt, but I still see him doing well vs this Fins D. While the Fins are consistently good on D, I see Brady spreading them out, and having a nice day. The X Factor will be the Pats running attack, but Brady passing early should open up the ground game. I also see the Pats D bouncing back today after getting shredded and embarrassed last week. Like I said, usually Brady and the Hoody monster are solid after a L, so let's see if they can bounce back this week for the W. I think they do, by at least a TD.
Titans +7 (bought hook)
Everything logically is telling me to take the Colts in this one, but usually when I go with my logic, I lose. Kind of like how everything told me not to take the Skins last week, but I did, and I won! I know the Colts pretty much are better in every statistic matchup, but I got to go with the hot team and the VY/CJ combo that is tearing it up right now. I really hope they win this game, because them and this squad are showing a lot of heart. And if they do somehow make the playoffs, which is still a long ways away, you to got give the MVP to CJ and VY! CO MVPS!!! The Colts don't have a good run defense, so let's go CJ! I see the Titans running the ball a lot with CJ, which should keep them close.
Rams +10(bought hook)
I usually don't bet on or against the Bears because I'm scared of jinxing them, but we can now safely say that the season is over, so I'm taking the Rams this week. The Bears were already a bad football with a lot of holes, but now with all of these major injuries, I just don't see how they cover double digits. CWill is moving to LT, while Schaf is starting at RT. The line has already been bad, and now making this switch will make them even worse. On top of that, Des Clark is hurt and out, who helps our OLine a ton. Look for the Rams DLine to get pressure on Cutler, just like everyone else does. For the Rams, SJAX is playing today, which spells doom for the Bears without Lance Briggs. We are basically on our 2nd,3rd stringers, and FA pickups in the linebacker position, so look for SJAX to have a huge day. The secondary has been terrible but now they are switching players around in the Safety position and Tillman is banged up too, so even Boller should be able to move the ball at least vs them. With Briggs, the heart and soul of our defense being out, I just see the already struggling Bears D, hurting more, even if it is vs the Rams. We also have some special teams injuries, which might hurt us as well. I know the Bears still have some pride, so they will play hard, but I think the Rams should be able to keep this one close. I think the bigger question is will the Bears fire Dummy Smith and co. if the Rams win straight up?
Chargers -14
I hate playing huge spreads, but this game is a huge mismatch to me. The Chargers are hot and the Browns are just terrible, I don't know how else to put it. The one decent thing going for the Browns was their D, and now they lose their best defensive player in Rodgers, and their best Safety in Pool. The Chargers have a top ten passing attack, so look out for a huge day from Rivers, VJax, and Gates. LT and Sproles should also have their way on the ground, and this one should be a blowout from the get go. The Browns also lost Jamal Lewis, and for some reason Mangina still won't play Harrison, who is a sweet playmaker. And us Bears fans thought Dummy Smith was bad. The Chargers D has also been improving, thanks to Ron Rivera switching things up a few weeks ago. Man I miss him on the Bears. I see them shutting down pretty boy Quinn and co., and winning by at least three touchdowns in this one.
Packers -3
My Ravens(madden) are struggling lately. I thought they would beat the Steelers easily last week with Big Ben being out, but they struggled. Other than Ray Rice, their offense seems to be struggling, but what surprises me more is their Defense. It just hasn't been the same this year, so will they be able to contain this high powered Packers offense on the road? Their pass rush is struggling, and if AR has all day to sit back there, he should be able to produce vs this Pass D. I see the Packers abandoning the run and just throwing all game long, and covering.

Rams +9.5
The Bears have been playing some terrible ball lately. The Rams are a terrible team. But something has to give. Steven Jackson has been a one man team so far. And that isn't going to change this week most likely. But I see him running all over the Bears this week, and the Rams playing inspired ball. The one thing about this Rams team is that they seem to be fighting for their new coach Steve Spagnola. Every week they have been in games, they just don't have the talent to pull off the win. I don't know if they can beat this Bears team, but I believe they can hang close. You can tell from his body language that Jay Cutler doesn't have confidence right now, so I think the Rams have the perfect storm to keep this one close.
Patriots -4
This is a really vital divisional game that I just don't see the Patriots losing. The Patriots rarely lose 2 in a row under Belichek and we all know what happened last week against the saints. Plus you have to like Tom Brady in this matchup against the struggling Chad Henne. The Patriots won the last time these 2 teams played a few weeks ago, and that was with Ronnie Brown. The Dolphins just aren't the same team without him. I don't think they'll be able to control the game, the clock, or put up enough points to compete with an angry Belichek this week.
Chargers -13.5
The Browns are really struggling. Part of me thinks that Shaun Rogers might be the most underrated player in this league. Because the defense hasn't been half bad this year. They have been in nearly every game until the 3rd/4th quarter. The offense ends up not even being able to move the ball, the defense gets tired, and then the blowout ensues. And Rogers is the only recognizable name on that defense. You have players that wouldn't even make the roster on other teams, starting for the Browns. It's pathetic. It's disgusting. It makes me want to puke. God just let this season end already, and let the Browns draft this Suh guy from Nebraska. Please. I can't even talk about the Chargers I'm pissed of now. Why is this the main CBS game at 4?
Panthers -5
I don't know who Matt Moore is. I've never seen him play. But something tells me that just the sight of seeing Jake Delhomme on the sidelines and someone else playing QB will inspire the Panthers to victory. While the Bucs have been playing pretty decently with their new QB, he still is making a lot of mistakes. I'm assuming Matt Moore is some kind of veteran QB who doesn't have an arm, but who makes wise decisions. DeAngelo might run wild this week, because the Bucs run D isn't that great. I think the Panthers will play some inspired ball and take this.
Packers -3
I think the Ravens struggling to put away a Steelers team playing with their 3rd string QB shows what I've suspected for some time now: that the Ravens are a good team but with some major flaws. Ray Rice has been amazing, but it seems to me that they don't have enough playmakers around him. Joe Flacco has a canon, but is still struggling to make reads. And most importantly, I think the Ravens defense is overrated. You still have the big flashy plays from the stars, but for the most part the corners are weak, and teams can move the ball against them. I think Aaron Rogers will have a monster week, and the Packers will put these Ravens away early. Don't forget that the Packers D has been playing well recently too.

(Last Week 5-0)
(Overall 28-23-2)
Cowboys (-2.5)- Cowboys and Giants, a huge divisional clash in the NFC East. Have This game is the season for the Giants, a win puts them back in the mix of things within the division, a loss however pretty much spells their doom. Dallas is just too much for the Giants. The Giants do not look like they have the “it” factor this year. Look for Romo and a punishing ground game to dictate to the Giants all day. Boys by a touchdown
Chargers (-13.5)- Browns suck…Chargers on a roll. This one going to be ugly fellas. Chargers by a lot
Colts (-6.5) – Titans are on a roll, but Manning is just too much, you give him possessions and he will score somehow someway. Vince young is awesome but look for their winning streak to come to an abrupt end in Indy. Colts by 10
Saints (-9.5) – Redskins defense is pretty solid even during their losing season, but it won’t be enough to handle Brees and the NFL darling Saints. The Saints are going to march into the nations capital and put a whopping on the redskins, especially since the No.1 overall seed is still not locked up. Saints by 17
Eagles (-5.5)- this is for all my Philly fans out there. Time and time again just when we want to count the Eagles out, they rise from the dead and make it into the playoffs. This game is a must have for both the eagles and Falcons. The one thing history has taught us is the Eagles come thorough in the regular season in big games. Look for this to be no different. Look for McNabb to lead the Eagles down in Atlanta and put a nice whooping on the Falcons. BET YOUR WEDDING RING MONEY ON IT FELLAS!!!!!!!!!!
