A few of the games that looked interesting to me..
Baltimore @ Green Bay +1
Probably won't bet this one, but my gut says to go with Baltimore.. The Packers were effectively shut down last week by a strong defensive effort, and that is what Baltimore is all about.. I've also been impressed with the Ravens offensive outputs this season.. They are showing a much stronger offense with the change in QB, and I get the sense that their feeling is that they are no longer a strictly defensive team.. Their offense is nothing to write home about, but I would say that anytime a Super Bowl Champion has improved this area of their game, they must still be favourites..
Why should you stay away??.. Personally, I just don't bet against GB @ home.. Maybe will go half a unit though..
Tampa Bay @ Tennesse - 2.5
Just call this more of a gut feeling than anything else.. TB sure did look good last week against GB.. And despite what I said above, GB is a solid team (just not as good as Baltimore).. The problem with this one, is that it's a must win for Tennesse for sure.. It's tough to bet against a team that hasn't played their best ball yet, and already has their back against the wall.. Will probably not bet again, but interesting look.. If Titans lose again, I will be more convinced that they are simply not as good as everyone thinks..
Cleveland @ Cincy -2
I really like Cleveland in this game.. Couch has shown that he has game, and Cincy proved last week that their offense still needs a lot of help.. The defensive effort put out by Cleveland last weekend against San Diego really won me over.. As of now, I will probably take Cleveland, but if someone out there likes Cincy, pls post your reasons..
New Orleans @ Carolina + 5
This game has been discussed a lot already on this forum, and I must agree that I like the Saints too.. Convincing win last weekend and the fact that I don't see Carolina as a play-off team..
Denver @ Seattle + 7
Denver has played incredibly well considering the injuries they have.. The question is, will their luck run out??.. Or are they that good?.. Both teams coming off impressive wins last weekend.. The clincher to me is that I think Seattle caught Cleveland by surprise in week 1, and thus should be 1-3.. I would really appreciate some insight into this one, b/c my gut is pushing me towards Denver..
