i really am clue-less in the kc/jets game, but since nolan did nail kc pretty good last week at s.d., i will have to believe he is on to something here with his under and teaser key.
i do have a strong reservation on picking pitt after their failure to follow-up and finish baltimore last week. scoring may not be any easier here and clev does have its moments, so a pass for me.
i strongly disagree on buffalo. n.e. is on the verge of becoming a major force (if brady doesn't get butterflies), while buffalo is in some sort of lethargic limbo, from which they don't look like they will recover any time soon. someone mentioned past close games, but these two are playing on two different levels now, and certainly appear to be going in opposite directions. n.e. should have no problem putting buffalo away, especially at home.
another big disagreement is on indy:
there are too many circumstances that point to a miami win here, including their taking the last 3 at the dome. indy is definitely shaky, and james' absence is accentuating their problems. it took a hapless buffalo to make them look good last week, but i don't believe they can pull it against miami, even if fiedler has a miscue here and there.
i would like to add the following:
denver-6
s.d. is on the verge of falling apart after some initial good showings. denver is looking for blood at home after the oak fiasco. give the points.
green bay -2.5
green bay has handled chi fairly easy in chicago, they know the air is their weakness, and the miller issue complicates things a bit more for chicago. 2.5 looks like a bargain here.
seattle +7
these two team know each other well and we can't really expect oak to manhandle them in seattle. this game should be close, if not an outright win for seattle. seattle was a little shakier when they played oak earlier, and have shown some improvements since.
by all means, if you have strong agreements/disagreements, add your thoughts here.
