Detroit -10 V Minnesota

-----

Detroit Desperately needs this game. Peterson is out again, and Ponder is one good hit away from being knocked out of the game. Detroit has not been covering lately, and neither has Minny, but I think that Minny's lack of Pass Defense here will certainly cripple them on the road.

Washington +8 V New England

-----

Redskins have an excellent pass Defense, and their linebacking corps is back in action. Pats will also have a tough time if Skins get the run game going, because their Pass D is atrocious and the Skins have been throwing the ball well lately. Its tough to take the skins here, I KNOW, but there is too much public love for New England and I think this is the right play.

Under 37 Cincinnati game

--------

Houston needs a conservative game plan to pull out a much needed win here. They will also need their top tier Defense to show up again this week and stop Cincy on 3rd down. Meanwhile Cincy also needs to tighten up a bit after getting thrashed last outing. Their turnovers were high last game, and I think they will come out and play conservative and try to get a nice win over a crippled Houston team. Looking to see long drives and clock ticking ending with Field goals.

Dallas -4.5

-------

Dallas's d line is very quick and will be able to limit the giants screen game. Dallas needs this game in a BIG way, as they play 2 times against NYG in their next 4 games and will absolutely need to take this one at home. Giants looking at a let down after getting defeated in overtime by the undefeated Superbowl champs, back on the road to a loud DALLAS atmosphere.

Bears V Broncos UNDER 35.5

------

Broncos Put up 30 last week and this week the line is 35-36? lol Well one thing I can say is that Matt Forte is out, and Marion Barber will be running the rock out of the single back formation a lot. Broncos are very good against the run, but a bit undersized and there will be SOME success against them on the ground, but I do not believe it will carry over to the RED ZONE. The Bears HAVE to play good D, because their starting QB and RB are out. The Bears are excellent against the run and although I fear their inability on Pass D, I think that the Broncos will stick to their winning formula.
