I am at a loss for whom to pick this week (no point spread)...
What's best between:
Bengals (away) over Titans
Chiefs over Redskins
Lions over Panthers

(or any other game? I can't pick Indy, Seattle, Atlanta or Denver)

I don't think New England is a great pick this week, and I don't think these games are any better:
Jacksonville at Pittsburgh
Miami at Tampa Bay
Cleveland at Baltimore
Minnesota at Chicago
NY Jets at Buffalo
San Diego at Oakland

What do you think?

I think you gotta go with the Bengals. Miami @ TB could be a play, and so could Minnesota @ Chicago.

Still, early on, there's just not enough data to make plays that well. I'd play it safe and go with the Bengals.

the Bengals are "safe"??
It goes against my gut to pick an away team... compound that by the fact that the Bengals squeaked out a win yesterday, they're coming off a hyped up night game (not sure if that matters) and the Titans at home are no pushovers... yes, Cincy's record is good, but have they really been tested? "safe"?

(just to play devil's advocate..... thanks)

Well, Tennesee sucks, and Cincinatti, while playing bad teams, has been quite impressive in those games.

I mean, I'd like to have a home game, but I think this is a clear mismatch you need to play.

Doesn't Houston qualify as a bad team?

Pitt Chiefs TB and punt in that order.

I'd go with the Ravens out of that group.

My pool is down to myself and one other person. I am most likely taking Seattle. Kansas City is my second choice. At this point, I am much more comfortable going against bad teams than going for good teams.

The Redskins haven't completely proven themselves, but they played Denver to two points on the road. That's got to count for something, considering how good Denver's playing.

If I were you, I'd take Seattle, easy, especially if you've played Cincy.

As for the other guy, take Cincy, anything else sucks.

Seattle is the best then KC, the redskins might keep it close but they wont win. KC should be able to bounce back and feed off their home crowd to win, especially off a bye week.
