Game 1: Minnesota +1.5 vs Buffalo - another line I consider semi-silly (though not as bad as the Wash-Hou line last week). Minnesota has beaten 2 extremely solid teams and was unlucky to lose last week against a true Super Bowl contender in Chicago. Buffalo has beaten the crappy Dolphins, and lost to New England and the Jets. I actually consider the Vikings solid favorites in this game

Game 2: Miami -3.5 vs Houston - geezum crow. How can these books really not see how truly horrible Houston is. As stated last week, Houston has covered a 4 point spread a total of 5 times in their last 19 games and have lost every game this year by 2 TDs or more. Miami hasn't looked all that great this year, but they're no freakin Houston.

Game 3: Green Bay +11 vs Philadelphia - Gonna be a fun Monday night watching this one. Philly has rolled it up on some real poor teams so far, and I think people are overrating them. They've shown a real tendency to give up a lot of points late in games (17 in the 4thQ vs Giants, 14 in the 4thQ vs San Fran), and I think they may win it, but Favre will get it within a TD by the end. I think Favre is also pretty motivated to show he's not done like everyone is saying.

Game 4: New England +5.5 vs Cincinnati - this one hurts, as I don't like NE and I do like Cincy. However, Carson is still a little wobbly and inconsistent (4 TDS last week, but 2 INT and a fumble as well), and Chad seems to be still suffering. Their D is very opportunistic against bad QBs, but against good ones, not so much. I think the Patriots come out with something to prove and win this one outright.

I made picks last week and somehow they failed to get into the thread. I went 2/0/2 for +600 and would have increased my money to 6000 and 15th place.

As the only challenger to go 0-4 last week, it would really help if I could attach a "Lock of the Week" image from the Simpsons with this post, but alas, I lack such a comic prop.

Vikings+1.5 over Bills
The Bills have a good defense and so do the Vikings. I would expect a field goal battle and I think Longwell is better than Lindell. I also think the AFC East is this year's version of the NFC North.

49ers +7 over Cheifs
Trent Green is still out. The 49ers have been playing well. This game will be close. The Chiefs could pull out a close one, but that is too many points to give a pretty solid 49ers team.

Rams -5.5 over Lions
Rams are tough at home and this is a team I think will suprise this year. The Lions are still trying to figure it out.

Seahawks/Bears over 34.5
I know these are two very good defenses, but I said I would pound Bears overs and they are already 2-1 and that's only because they shut out the Packers. I don't see them shutting out Seattle.
