San Diego                       6.0                 KANSAS CITY

Philip Rivers is the real deal.

Jacksonville                   10.5                 HOUSTON 

I wonder how many sacks Houston’s offensive line will give up to the Jags?

New England                     6.0                 BUFFALO

The Patriots ground attack will get back on track against the Bills.

Pittsburgh                      2.5                 ATLANTA
   
Looks like Big Ben is turning the corner.

MIAMI                           4.5                 Green Bay

The Packers have enough to cover this spread.

Philadelphia                    5.5                 TAMPA BAY

The Eagles will rebound against the Bucs.

CINCINNATTI                     3.5                 Carolina

The Panthers are whole again with Steve Smith returning the form.

N.Y JETS                        3.5                 Detroit

The Jets will keep rolling against the Lions.

Denver                          5.0                CLEVELAND

That Broncos defense will be too much for the Browns to handle.

INDIANAPOLIS                    9.5                Washington

The Redskins won’t beat the Colts, but should keep it relatively close.

SEATTLE                         7.0                Minnesota

The Seahawks are still without Shaun Alexander.

ARIZONA                         3.0                Oakland

The Raiders will regret passing on Matt Leinart.

DALLAS                          3.5                N.Y. Giants

The Giants’ defense is on fire.
