First, a general thought. I always pick the team I think can win outright. If I think the point spreads will affect the betting, the game is too close to call. In short, never take a team because the points look good.

The Chargers will expose the Giant's Defense. The Chief's could win this game by 4 TDs. This Colts game might be the most lopsided game of the season. The Rams might be poorly coached, but playing at home in a low pressure game brings out the best in the team.

I also like the Bengals this week.

Lastly, I took my own advice last week and stayed even for my money even though I took a beating in this challenge.

The Steelers look good, but I'm guessing that the Pats will also score some points. If the under falls instead, put the Steel City at the top of the AFC pack.</font>

The Eagles may be a bit of a homer pick, but at home they generate a lot of points and I think Oakland should be able to score a few points. If they fall apart again, I don't know if the Boids can go over all by themselves. </font>

As badly as the Cards have performed, and they're on the road... I'll take the under </font>

I was planning on riding the Chiefs D again, especially against the poorly-performing horsies. When natedogg came out so strongly for the under, I moved it all the way up.
This of course means the Chiefs get busted big-time
