I’ll get some analysis up by Wednesday.

Initial Reaction:

• Tampa Bay finally showed they can score points with Chris Simms and now they’re a 6 point dog to an Atlanta team that just lost to Green Bay. This one all comes down to whether Simms can handle a road game. I see a tough one finishing well within 6.
• Miami’s coming off a very tough loss at home and now they’re on the road in Cleveland. The Browns are an awful team that wouldn’t stand a chance in hell of winning if they went in to Pro Player. Miami has better receivers, better backs, better defenders, and a better QB. Making the Browns 3 point favourites means Vegas thinks Miami won’t even show up for this one.
• JP Losman looked good. And I’ve always liked him. Is Buffalo that terrible on the road? San Diego’s 5-4. Buffalo is 4-5. And 10 point dogs.
• The Jets have one of the worst schedules in the history of the NFL. -9.5 On the road in Carolina, then +13 on the road in Denver. Not fair.
• Will Seattle let down against a San Francisco team that completed 1 pass yesterday? They’re only 10 point favourites.
• Cincinnati might beat Indianapolis. Indy is the better team, but if they’re going to lose it’s going to be on the road and on turf. Cincy is coming off a bye week and Manning is liable to do something stupid to cough up the game. This falls into the same category as the Giants/Vikings game last week. Sometimes the better team loses.
• The Lions are coming off a cheap victory vs. a Cardinals “team” whose 2 Ws have come against a couple clubs with a combined record of 4-14. And they still only won by 8. Detroit is a bad team only two weeks removed from a 13 point loss at Minnesota. Dallas should run all over them provided they don’t let down after a big win on Monday night. That said, my guess is Dallas has trouble showing up for this one.
• Jacksonville -4 at Tennessee. Jacksonville is a bad road team. Tennessee is just a bad team, period. I don’t know how you can be comfortable taking the Jags as anything more than a 3-point favourite. If the Titans are going to surprise anyone they’re going to do it at home. Drew Bennett expects to play, but I wouldn’t consider him a gamebreaker. Tennessee’s beaten the Jags in 10 of their past 13 meetings. Fred Taylor won’t play.
• Washington -6 at home vs. Oakland. The Redskins need this game. And they’ve got enough to blow out this Raiders team. The Raiders always worry me. But that 14 point loss to Denver last week makes me think you can only play them against poorly coached defenses. The Redskins have one of the best defensive co-ordinators in football in Greg Blache, and I think they can handle ‘em.
• The Packers are 3.5 point favourites against Minnesota at Lambeau Field. Minnesota won on the road last week after racking up 137 yards of offense. The Giants had 405! My guess is God had the Vikings on the moneyline. Minnesota always seems to go into Green Bay and cover. But they were so awful last week you’ve got to wonder if they’re capable of scoring points. Mewelde Moore is going to play. Samkon Gado isn’t very good. And Brett Favre is going to make some dumb throws. I wouldn’t lay the 3.5. Despite their W last week in Atlanta, Green Bay is not a good football team.
