If they lay more than 4 at Oakland you should take Oak

[/ QUOTE ]

What has Oakland done to improve their team markedly from last year, when they lost 8 of their last 9 and finished 4-12? Aaron Brooks? Come on.

There is no way they should be a favorite in Miami, given what we know now.

I don't know if I agree with this. Culpepper certainly has to prove something before I'll consider him a huge upgrade at QB, and I'm worried Brown may hit the wall now that he has no second RB to help and Saban is sure to run him into the ground (similar to how Cadillac did last year).

Both Baltimore and KC are teams with a lot of question marks

[/ QUOTE ]

Baltimore has a lot more question marks than KC in my mind. McNair is coming off a pretty ugly season, and I wouldn't want to put my franchise in the hands of an injury prone QB who is now old to boot.

they should be close dogs or even a favorite at home vs. Denver

[/ QUOTE ]

That's probably fair. I didn't account for the home dominance over Denver because I just don't understand it.

I don't, however, see why they wouldn't be decided underdogs to Seattle.
