this weeks picks
Dolphins +6- ferrotte is sig better than the rotating tackling dummie system that they had in place last year, and the Jets D isn't a group of monsters (though they are solid). Mcmicheal finds some seams and once the phins get ahead, pennington's rag arm isn't going to do much to bring them back. If the jets do win it will be because of thier D, and Miami should still be able to cover the 6.
Patriots -160 - The patriots, lost, at home? They have the long week with an excellent prep coach, and showed that they are still a strong team even with the losses last season.
Ravens titans - Under 36.5
Is chris brown going to be able to pound it out abainst the Ravens D? Who is Mcnair going to throw to? Anthony wright putting up numbers? The ravesn should just pound Lewis/Taylor all day, ball controll, pound in two or three touches and win it in a low scoring affair.
Jags- +9, colts overrated, their D looked better but sandwich to jimmy smith will be harder to defend than boller throwing it away. Jags are sporadic, but seem to get up against the colts, solid D, solid O, 9 point dogs? I don't think so.
