Buffalo +6.5 at BaltimoreUsually a team can feel good on Monday morning after a win. For some reason I don’t think the Bills were feeling like champs after beating the hapless Dolphins. Back to reality for Bledsoe and the gang. Pick: Baltimore
Detroit +7.5 at N.Y. GiantsEither Kurt Warner has started wearing his lucky underwear from 1999 or he managed to duct tape Brenda Warner’s mouth shut. One, or possibly both, of those two things is leading to his awesome revival. Pick: N.Y. Giants
Philadelphia -8.5 at ClevelandLike my boy says: If it looks like a .500 team, smells like a .500 team and acts like a .500 team – then it probably is a .500 team. Pick: Iggles
Jacksonville +10.5 at IndianapolisJacksonville taking the name “Cardiac Cats” is wrong. That is what everyone called the Panthers of 2003. Lack of creativity will be this team’s downfall. That and Peyton Manning at home. Pick: Indy
Tennessee +7.5 at MinnesotaIt’s going to be awfully hard for the Pro Bowl to overlook Daunte Culpepper’s 200 TD passes this season. Even without Moss, this should be an easy victory for the new “Greatest Show on Turf”. Pick: Vikes
San Diego +3.5 at CarolinaI feel so badly for L.T. He is so damn good, and stuck on such a bad team. I just want to give him a big hug. Carolina may have gotten spanked last week, but it should do better against a lesser team. Pick: Panthers
St. Louis -7.5 at MiamiThe NFL should change the rules and let Miami play with 12 guys on the field at all times. This won’t help them win, but it should make them a little more respectable as an NFL team. Pick: St. Louis
Chicago +6.5 at Tampa BayWhat a surprise. The team Jonathan Quinn is starting for isn’t favored? I guess somebody down at the odds making office was getting high. Pick: Chicago
Atlanta +4.5 at Kansas CityThe Human Highlight Reel looked impressive last week both with his legs and arm. The Kansas City junior varsity defensive squad should help Mike Vick look impressive again. Pick: Falcons
N.Y. Jets +7.5 at New EnglandThe Jets are about to find out that beating up on the worst teams in the league is good for self-esteem, but nothing else. New England should prove it is the better 5-0 team. Pick: Pats
Dallas +4.5 at Green BayI love games where two struggling teams battle it out to stay afloat. The funny thing is that while both teams will fight to the death to make their record looks respectable, neither will make the playoffs. Sad. Pick: Green Bay
Seattle -7.5 at ArizonaNo wonder Koren Robinson was dropping all those passes every week. You’d drop those passes too if you were high. I like the Jerry Rice pickup. Karma goes to Seattle. Pick: Seattle.
New Orleans +3.5 at OaklandBad news for Oakland. You don’t treat Jerry Rice like that, and expect to get away with no repercussions. I don’t care if he is 52 and needs a cane to run a go pattern. Bad karma is in the future for Oakland. Pick: New Orleans
Denver -6.5 at Cincinnati If I was a running back in college, I would pray to be drafted by Denver. At some point, you are guaranteed a 1,000 yard season and the big contract that follows it. Then you can just go back to being an okay running back with lots of money on some other team. Cough, Cough, Clinton Portis. Pick: Denver
