(Rotation #270) Arizona -2.5 ? The oddsmakers are sort of insinuating here that the Cardinals and the Eagles are the same team, and we don't buy that. Philadelphia's 5-1 just doesn't look the same as Arizona's 5-1, especially when you consider the fact that the Eagles have gotten the job done with so many defensive and special teams touchdowns, while the Cards have gotten there by having to use QB Drew Stanton for a while instead of QB Carson Palmer. It's a bit concerning that the Eagles are coming off of their bye week, a situation they have been awfully good in over the course of the last several years, but the home field advantage for Arizona cannot be overlooked.
Opening Line: Arizona -2.5
Current Line: Arizona -2.5
Public Betting Percentage: 62% on Philadelphia
(Rotation #272) Pittsburgh +3 ? The Steelers are on a short week, and they didn't exactly look good against the Texans on Monday Night Football even though they did walk away with a big time win. The Colts meanwhile, are coming off of a dominating 27-0 win over the Bengals in which they put together one of the best complete performances we have seen this season out of any team. It's a nice spot for the hosts, though. Pittsburgh is always going to be a really tough place to play football. On top of that, keep a close eye on Mother Nature in this one. Temperatures at kickoff are expected to be in the 40s at best, and they'll dip into the 30s with breezy winds all game long. With WR Reggie Wayne potentially missing out on this game, that could take away one major weapon for QB Andrew Luck. The way we see it, the Steelers will have every opportunity to win this game in spite of the fact that 80 percent of the general public just doesn't see it that way.

(Rotation #276) New Orleans -2 ? There's every reason to believe that the Saints can win this game, not the least of which is the fact that they almost never lose at home and are probably playing to save their season. In fact, it looks a lot like the spot the Packers were in a few weeks ago when QB Aaron Rodgers was telling his fans to R-E-L-A-X. TE Jimmy Graham returned to the lineup last week, and though he was completely ineffective, he should be in a lot better spot to produce here against a Packers ?D? that has its warts. QB Drew Brees is under the gun here, and the fact that there's a real possibility that he will come into this game as an underdog is shocking to us.
