| Gator says: This is a match up of 2 teams that have gone opposite ways from their predictions. No one expected the Browns to do much and they've been one of the most surprising teams and several experts had Ravens winning the division and they've been one of the biggest disappointments. They've been so disappointing that they can't even be favored over the Browns. I agree with Vegas. Browns cover
Bait says:Its time for the worm to turn take the Browns to cover  VS. Spread: Jaguars -3
Gator says: While the Chargers have won the last 2 games against quality opponents, they didn't play very good against the Colts. They will certainly need a better offensive display against the Jags. The Jags defense is one of the most schizophrenic units in the NFL. They will look brilliant one week and then give up 300 rushing yards the next. Jaguars cover
Bait says: LT vs. a Stroud-less defense, himmm Take the Chargers to benefit from the football GODS in this one, Chargers and the points.
 VS. Spread: Eagles -10
Gator says: While the Dolphins are bad, they typically keep games close. Eagles haven't been as impressive this year as they should be. Fins beat the spread
Bait says: The Eagles are giving 10? Zoink! Holy carpal tunnel Batman! ok, maybe McNabb is still mad, this could happen, nah, I am not ready to say yes, Fins for the win, errr,. what am I saying, to beat the spread not their opponent, sorry Fin-Fans  VS. Spread: Vikings -5 Gator says:Justin Fargas will be the best RB in this game. No Adrian Peterson doesn't bode well for the Vikings. Raiders beat the spread
Bait says: Have the Vikings done anything beyond Adrian Petersons single handed heroics this year? The Answer is no, take the Raiders and the points.
 VS.
Spread: Colts -14.5
Gator says: With the way the Colts played last week, this seems like an easy pick taking the Chiefs + 2 TD's. I do feel really bad for the Chiefs though, Peyton is going to come out firing, but my fantasy team hopes for a little Joseph Addai this week. Colts cover
Bait says:You may not understand why, and this isn't a knock on the Chiefs, its a wrong place at the wrong time event for them, so sorry Chief fans, Colts will blow this one wide open, the only time the spread comes into effect is after the Colts per their scrubs-scrubs on the field. Colts murdelize the spread
 VS.
Spread: Packers -9.5
Gator says: While the Packers keep winning, they continue to win close. Panthers beat the spread
Bait says: Hi my name is Bait, and I am a Packer backer, nuff said
 VS.
Spread: Giants -2.5
Gator says: This is one of the most intriguing matchups of the week. I find it amazing that a 6-3 team isn't favored in their home stadium while not facing the Cowboys or Patriots. That's why I'm going with the Lions to beat the spread
Bait says:Offended that the Colts weren't included in gators comparison I am.....agree with the outcome anyway I will...Lions the spread will beat.
 VS. Spread: Bucs -3
Gator says: This spread surprised me with how low it was. I was expecting another big spread and another upset pick. The Bucs will get Michael Pittman back, but does it really matter with how good Ernest Graham has been playing? Bucs cover
Bait says: Gotta go with the Bucket-0-Bucs here.  VS. Spread: Texans -1
Gator says: A once promising start by the Texans has been slowed by unfortunate injuries to key players. These 2 teams are going in opposite directions, so I will go with the streaks. Saints beat the spread
Bait says: Saints tripped over their own shoelaces last week, guess its hard to tie your shoes with a bunch of sprung mouse traps on your fingers......Saints to beat the Ginourmous spread  VS. Spread: Bengals -3
Gator says: Last week the Bengals defense gave up only a late garbage TD against the Ravens. Is that proving that the Bengals D is turning a corner or is the Ravens offense really that bad? Good test against a good offensive Cardinal team who beat the Lions last week. I'll give the D the benefit of the doubt. Bengals cover
Bait says:.....and they are throwing a banquet dinner to doubt the Bengal defense gator, I will get fat this week on the I told you so surprise, both offenses are good and one defense really sucks, anyone want second helpings? Yes give me the Cards-du-jour!  VS. Spread: Steelers -9.5
Gator says: Last week was the first time I correctly predicted a Steelers game. A very good Steelers team against a really bad Jets team= Steelers cover
Bait says:Steelers couldnt beat the lousy spread, last week, but they should be able to do it against the Jets, dag nab it...Take the Steely McBeams  VS. Spread: Seahawks -5.5
Gator says: Rex Grossman is getting the start for the Bears. The Bears can't afford to lose many more games and need a QB that can limit mistakes. Grossman did a good job of that last week. Seahawks D had a shutout against the Niners last week. This might be Grossman's absolute last chance in Chicago. My Gator ties will predict he will make the most of his last chance. Bears beat the spread
Bait says:Seahawks cover, although neither team knows exactly why.  VS. Spread: Rams -3
Gator says: The Rams are a completely different team with Stephen Jackson in the fold. Their D might actually be able to stop the Niners putrid offense. Rams cover on the road
Bait says: Rams win outright this week Gator  VS. Spread: Cowboys -10.5
Gator says: Cowboys are a much better team then the Skins, but because it's a rivalry game it will be closer than the spread. Cowboys by ONLY 10. Skins beat the spread
Bait says: Cowboys murder the Skins just to make them #2 in next weeks power polls....  VS. Spread: Patriots -16
Gator says: Bills had a good performance against an elite team in their only other national TV game. Bills beat the spread
Bait says: Tripping the light fantastic, do it twice it aint so nice, ehhh, somewhere someone has to pick them to lose, I am 8-1 with them this year, 8-2 wouldnt be that bad, Bills to beat the spread.  VS. Spread: Broncos -2
Gator says: Broncos have been bad against the run and Titans have a good running game with Lendale White and Vince Young. Broncos finally put together a complete effort last week, will it continue? Broncos cover
Bait says:In an up and down year for both these teams its the Broncos turn to be "up" so take the Broncos to cover. | | |
