Writer | Comment |
Erickson | My first inclination was to take the Pats over the Bills given the Sunday night performance, but I'm not sure I'm ready to declare all is well for the Pats yet. Buffalo's defense is legit, and Orton's comparative lack-of-suck can keep the Bills afloat... Lots of ugly picks on this slate though - Jets, Titans, Rams, Bucs, Vikings... I'm really hoping that Bears-Falcons is the ticket-to-the-carnival game it appears to be. |
Pianowski | The strength of Buffalo's defense is an under-reported story. I know New England usually beats Buffalo anywhere and everywhere, but rosters change so quick in the NFL, that doesn't matter much to me. |
Liss | I especially like the Seahawks, Falcons, Bengals and Vikings. Feel shaky about the Texans, Browns, Jets and Bucs. |
Stopa | I've got too much chalk here, but at the rate I'm going, you're fading me anyway... The whole staff will have a party the first game the Jaguars win ATS. There will be balloon animals and everything. |
Del Don | I struggled to come up with a best bet, as none really jumped out to me... I also particularly like the Eagles, Buccaneers, 49ers and Vikings this week. |
