OAKLAND +4.5-110
--------
Out of all the plays on this card OAK is the one im most nervous about. But here it goes. Oakland is very well coached and I personally believe their ground game will give houston some trouble. Plus Johnson is coming off what looked to be a very tough injury last week and he is still questionable at best for the game today. Oakland also has the front line to stop the run and although foster will give them trouble I think Houston laying only five at home to a team that caught a tough loss, and after their big win over PITT last week says to me ....TRAP GAME!!!
BUFFALO +3-120
----
Folks, Its the 2011 season. Not 2006, Not 2010, but 2011, and this season is the YEAR OF THE BILLS. Sounds crazy, but when you look at it, (No not on madden) the bills are in reality the better team here. They have a consistent passing and running attack. their defense is well coached and has quick, young defensive backs to contain Philly passing attack, and lets face it, the Eagles CANNOT run the ball consistently. Many people think that this will be a huge bounce back game for the Eagles, but honestly I just dont think they have it all together yet, it may not be their year, sorry Philly!
INDIANAPOLIS u38.5-110
-----
Indy V KC, the battle of the misfit bandits!! This game should go under, Indy has a decent QB in Painter, but I believe sound coaching would say that INDY needs to get a win by keeping the ball on the ground as much as possible and using their superior pass rush to keep Matt Cassell running scared.
NEW ENGLAND u51-110
-----
2 main points here.
1) these two teams know each other and their rivalry should speak to fewer points in the passing game for both teams.
2.) The New England D is weak against the run in a full field setting. In situations where the other team is beyond the New England 40 yrd line the DBs do not have as much of a chance to come up and stop the run, this will cause a lot of running and short passing from the jets. Not to mention the idea that the jets KNOW they cannot keep up with NEW ENGLAND in a shoot out, so they will be forced to win through solid D on third Downs and Time of Possession.
TENNESSEE +3+115
-----
I think we need to get used to the Idea that Pittsburgh is not, and I repeat NOT, making the playoffs this year. Tennessee has had some trouble in their ground game, but I think the media onslaught of Chris Johnson in this past week will make him play a bit harder and Tennessee will look to win on the field in Pitt... Call me crazy but I think Tennesee is gonna keep this one very very close.
