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

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.

[/ QUOTE ]

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.

[ QUOTE ]
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.

they will be favorites at home against Seattle unless they start off badly, maybe small favorites, but still a favorite

I didn't even realize this. Isn't he widely recognized as a huge key to the success of Priest/LJ over the last few years?

Between his and Roaf's departures and the general age of the team I'm not liking their chances this year, but I haven't gotten around to any serious studying of schedules/player movement yet.

im a die hard chiefs fan so this may be biased...but I think Johnson is enough of a stud to counterfeit these loses. But yes, Richardson deserves much credit for the success of the running game last 4 years. It will be tough without them allthough is is some rumor Roaf will still give it 1 more go.
