And Thursday Night games are now in full force forcing me to make my weekly selections a day earlier. A lot of difficult games to breakdown and decipher this weekend, and of course this is the nfl so the bizarre is bound to happen.
5. New Orleans Saints (- 7 1/2) vs. San Fransisco 49ers
The 49ers have one of the worst ranked pass defenses and have given up a boatload of yardage this season, Drew Brees is on pace to finish just behind Dan Marino's single season yardage record seems like a recupe for disaster doesn't it. The Saints have played very well this season in the Superdome and a win here keeps their one game lead in the NFC South.
4. San Diego Chargers (-6 1/2) at Buffalo Bills
The Chargers struggled last week against the Raiders but it was a divisional rivalry game and the did end up with a W anyway. The Bills rush defense is one of the lowest ranked in the NFL and facing the best running back in the NFL that's a recipe for disaster. In addition could you honestly foresee JP Losman play three effective games in a row? I certainly can't.
3. Carolina Panthers (-3 1/2) at Philadelphia Eagles
The Panthers failed me last week, will they do it again. The Eagles looked terrible last week against the Colts and if the Panthers can't shut down the Eagles offense lead by Jeff Garcia I will be shocked and annoyed (Fantasy Defense). Eventually Jake Delhomme is going to have to saddle up spread the ball around the field and put up big offensive numbers.
2. St. Louis Rams (-6 1/2) vs. Arizona Cardinals
The Rams now can see a light towards the playoffs after their win last week and the recent struggles of the New York Giants. The Cardinals on the other hand are completely unable to stop an effective running game or running back. Steven Jackson is exactly that, a huge fast strong and talented running back who will abuse the Cardinals front seven at home.
1. Jacksonville Jaguars (+1 1/2) at Miami Dolphins
The whirlwind world of the Jacksonville Jaguars will move back to a high point this week in Miami. The Jaguars play well in Florida, desperately need a win to erase their loss last week and Buffalo and keep them in the AFC playoff hunt. Lose this week and their done. The Dolphins can only stay hot behind Joey Harrington for so long and with the loss of Ronnie Brown the Jaguars should be able to pressure Harrington and get him to perform more like the QB that all of the fans in Detroit loved for several years.
Cincinatti (-2 1/2) vs. Baltimore ... One Day Baltimore will struggle, tonight?
Indianapolis (-7 1/2) at Tennessee ... Vince can't continue the high
Minnesota (+9 1/2) at Chicago ... Close game cause both offenses stink
New York Jets (+1 1/2) at Green Bay ... Jets defense es en fuego
Cleveland (+5 1/2) vs. Kansas City ... Romeo keeps the Browns in it this week
Atlanta (+1 1/2) at Washington ... Vick showing up? Ugh...
New England (-13 1/2) vs. Detroit ... Detroit continues track to Brady Quinn
Houston (+3 1/2) at Oakland ... What a thriller, I'll be tuned in.
Tampa Bay (+8 1/2) at Pittsburgh ... Takin the points
Dallas (-3 1/2) at New York Giants ... Looks easy, but stay away.
Denver (-3 1/2) vs. Seattle .. In Cutler we trust
