Discuss.

What's everyone looking at this weekend.

Oakland(+4.5) @ Miami

I think this game is pretty even so I'll take Oakland and the points. Plus Oakland has looked pretty good despite 2 losses. While the Dolphins haven't looked that great. Plus Culpepper is getting the start over McCown.

Green Bay(-1.5) @ Minnesota

Favre doesn't have a great track record in the Metrodome, but come on Minnesota is terrible. They have 3 horrible options at QB so they're one dimensional and the Packers defense is very solid. I don't know how many games Green Bay can with the oddball collection of talent they have at RB but I think they are better than Minny.

New England (-7) @ Cincy

The only thing that concerns me is Cincy's offense might be able to keep it close but their defense has been horrid so far and Brady and CO. have been firing on all cylinders. Plus Bellicek will have something up his sleeve for that Cincy offense. Really good Monday night game though.

I'm surprised the OAK-MIA line has moved that way. It opened at OAK +3.5. I thought if anything it would move closer to 0.

I like all three of those picks....very solid. Only one I would question is the GB-Minn matchup as it is a rivalry game.

Yea, good point. No matter how bad or good both teams are, they always seem to split the season series. I'm still debating it in my mind. If there's one game Minnesota+the fans are going to get up for, it'll be the Green Bay game.

I'm just praying that Tavaris Jackson will be involved somehow.

Jets playing against a QB making his first start scares me. We've made some novices look like Hall of Famers over the years, Trent Green just had a big day against us.

I'm guessing a lack of confidence in Culpepper, Miami does have a better defense than Cleveland, and I think Oakland doesn't have that good of a track-record in Miami.

I like Houston -3 @ Atlanta. I don't think Houston is getting enough credit yet.

I think it would have been bigger if Andre Johnson were playing. Plus they are away. -3 sounds about right, Falcons played pretty well last week too.

It's a good bet though, I'm just nervous about betting the Texans with their best offensive player out.

My Raiders kicked the Phins' ass today! Great ****ing win.
