Denver -9.5 At Kansas City
Can KC score enough points on a porous Broncos defense? As bad as the Chiefs are, the history of this rivalry suggests the Chiefs WILL COVER
At Cincinnati -3 Cleveland
UGH!!!!!!! I'll take the Browns
At Jacksonville -7 Houston
Jacksonville giving a TD? I'll take the TEXANS
At NY Jets -1 Arizona
The Cardinals have the weapons & the Jets lack both the pass rush & secondary. That being said, I'll take the JETS.
At New Orleans -5 San Francisco
A high scoring affair. The 49ers will cover
At Carolina -6.5 Atlanta
Can Atlanta run the ball on Carolina. I don't like this spread, by a Panthers team that has returned to its enigmatic ways. I'm betting though that Carolina will finally take advantage of Steve Smith downfield. PANTHERS,
At Tennessee -3 Minnesota
I'll Take the Titans at home.
At Tampa Bay -1 Green Bay
This is the most difficult pick of the week. The loss of Al Harris might effect my thinking, if next to Deangelo Hall, Al harris was the most overrrated CB in the NFL. I'll take the Packers
Buffalo -8 At St. Louis
In recent years this would be an easy pick, but the Rams are just awful. I hate the 8, but St Louis is just that bad, even at home.
San Diego -7.5 At Oakland
A rivalry & 7 1/2 is too much. I'll take the Raiders to cover
At Dallas -11 Washington
This is arguably the most intense rivalry in the NFL. As good as the Cowboys are, I'll take history. REDSKINS to cover.
Philadelphia -3 At Chicago
If Roethlisberger was getting tossed around like a rag doll, how well protected can Kyle Orton be? The Eagles run stuffing defense is back & Matt Forte is about to get a great lesson in it. EAGLES
At Pittsburgh -5.5 Baltimore
No Willie Parker & an ailing Roethlisberger. RAVENS to cover

NFL FOLLOW UP 09/25/08
Here are observations after Week 3
NFC EAST:
The Cowboys, Eagles & Giants are the three best teams in football. The Cowboys gutted it out over the Packers, the Eagles defense overwhelmed Pittsburg, & the Giants found a way to beat a desperate Bengals team. The Redskins, also looked good against perrenial "surprise" team, Arizona.
NFC SOUTH:
The Falcons are fundamentally sound and beat teams they can & should beat like Detroit & Kansas City. THey won't win many, but it's a good sign. Tampa can't win by throwing 67 times a week. Jury out on them. Carolina blew a ten point lead against the Vikings on the road. The Saints are hurt, but still should've beaten a Denver team with a swiss cheese defense.
NFC NORTH:
The Vikings played desperate & it paid off. Green Bay came up short. Chicagohas no offense & the Lions are awful. R.I.P. Matt Millen
NFC WEST:
Arizona came back down to earth. The 49ers beat up a bad team. Seattle got back in the game & the Rams are also very very bad. Trent Green won't help.
AFC EAST:
Buffalo is the class of this division & knows how to win close games. Roscoe Parrish is out & that is a real blow. The Patriots were EXPOSED. The Jets did not have enough against an explosive Chargers offense & the Dolphins played LIGHTS OUT, this week.
AFC NORTH:
Pittsburg got buried under the Eagles blizzard. THey suddenly look vulnerable. Willie Parker is out & Roethlisberger is ailing. The Ravens have an impressive young QB & a more impressive defense, that looks revived. The Bengals are an abomination that gave it all in a demoralizing defeat against the Giants. The Browns are better than their record, but losing in the trenches has them 0-3
AFC SOUTH:
Tennessee looks very solid & will be tough to overcome. The Jags eeked out a win against the Colts. The Texans are underwhelming. The Colts look out of sync, but will step up. Be sure of that.
AFC WEST:
The Broncos are th class of this division, but boy their defense sucks. They could collapse. The Chargers finally got on the ball, but their defense ain't all that. The Raiders have a lot of talent, but the coach keeps looking over his shoulder. The Chiefs are the worst team in football
