Time to see which teams I have for this week’s NFL games. Remember that I’m using point spreads from my kkk Bowl contest, and I have put in virtually no research other than what I may have heard in the news over the past week.

 

Buffalo at Miami (6.5)

Buffalo played tough last week while Miami lost to the Super Bowl champs. I think Miami will win, but not by six-and-a-half points.

 

(1.5) Carolina at Minnesota

Steve Smith is out and the Vikings are returning home after a Week 1 victory at Washington. The Carolina defensive line versus the Minnesota offensive line will be an interesting match-up. I’ll take the Vikings at home.

 

Cleveland at Cincinnati (10.5)

The question for me is how bad will the Bengals beat their in-state rivals. I’ll wager it’ll be in the double digits, so I’ll take Cincinnati in their home opener.

 

Detroit at Chicago (8.5)

Lions wide receiver Roy Williams said Detroit was going to win this game. He guaranteed it. He promised. When has Roy Williams ever let me down before? Roy, I'm taking your word on this. Don't fuck with my emotions.

 

Houston at Indianapolis (13.5)

Indianapolis always toys with Houston, but will they play with them enough to win by two touchdowns? Sure, why not – it’s early in the season and Peyton Manning needs to get those stats up by feasting on the weaker teams in his division.

 

(1.5) New Orleans at Green Bay

The old (Brett Favre) versus the new (Reggie Bush). Can New Orleans go up 2-0 at the start of this young NFL season? With the way Green Bay played last week, I’ll say why not.

 

N.Y. Giants at Philadelphia (3.5)

It’s one of those NFC East contests where anything goes. Will the Eagles be better than last year’s 6-10 team, or will the Giants drop off from their division-winning campaign of the 2005-06 season? I think I'll go with the Eagles because they improved more from last year than the Giants.

 

Oakland at Baltimore (12.5)

Will the Oakland Train Wreck Express continue with a stop in Baltimore? Probably. Will the Ravens win by a dozen points? I don’t know. I’ll put my hopes on the Raiders scoring a late touchdown with the Ravens playing prevent defense to drop Baltimore's victory to single digis.

 

Tampa Bay at Atlanta (5.5)

Tampa looked like crap last week. Will they bounce back this week against their division foes? I’m not sure, but I’ll predict the score will be closer than last week’s contests for both teams, which has me siding with the Bucs on this one.

 

Arizona at Seattle (7.5)

Will Seattle play like they did last week, or will Arizona upset the defending NFC Conference Champs? I’ll go with Seattle against that Cardinals defense.

 

(3.5) St. Louis at San Francisco

St. Louis looked good at home last week, so I’ll predict them looking svelte on the road against San Francisco.

 

Kansas City at Denver (10.5)

The Chiefs still have Larry Johnson, but they also have a backup quarterback starting the game. I’ll go with the Broncos at home.

 

(6.5) New England at N.Y. Jets

It’s a battle between master and pupil on the sidelines this week. The Jets played the Titans tough last week, and the Patriots struggled against the Bills. With that point spread, I’m going with New York.

 

Tennessee at San Diego (11.5)

San Diego looked good last week, while Tennessee made it game with the Jets. The Chargers will probably win, but will they cover the spread? I’ll say sure. The real bet ought to be will San Diego score more points than their quarterback throw passes.

 

Washington at Dallas (5.5)

Both are NFC East teams. Both are winless in Week 1. I think the Cowboys will win, but not by the margin listed above.

 

(1.5) Shittsburgh at Jacksonville

This game is going to be physical and nasty. Even though the Steelers won here two seasons ago, they always seem to have problems down in Jacksonville. For that reason, I’ll go with the Jags.
