This game is tough to figure. I really like what Tampa has done so far this year, both on defense and offense. I am not sure what else Jeff Garcia needs to do to prove that he is a top-echelon QB; he may be the best acquisition made in the off-season. Carolina meanwhile seems to be a bit schizophrenic. Jake Delhomme being out may not hurt the Panthers that much being that Carolina is going to want to run the ball. The Panthers have won the past two meetings, but I am going to side with the Bucs on this one.
San Francisco could easily be 0-3 on the year. Seattle meanwhile looks exactly like last years team, and last years team lost twice to the 49ers. It is hard to go with a team that has looked as shaky as SF has this year, but that is what I am going to do. 1 point lines are essentially Pick ‘ems and when faced with that, I will take the home team that has won the last two. In case you weren’t paying attention, that would be the 49ers.
San Diego is a good money line pick, if you like -$600. As bad as the Chargers have been it is hard to imagine they lose a home game to this Chiefs team. I am still of the belief that KC is one of the worst teams out there, which is exactly what the Chargers need. I am also of the belief that Norv Tuner is one of the worst Head Coaches in the NFL, so what the hell. When push comes to shove I have more confidence in the Chargers talent and that is why SD is the better play.
I really liked Arizona at the beginning of the week; however, when I heard that OT Levi Brown and WR Anquan Boldin are both doubtful I soured a bit on the Cards. There are a few reasons why I like Arizona: their Head Coach, Ken Wisenhunt and Russ Grimm now on the Cardinal sideline has to give the Red Birds some sort of advantage. Combine that with the close games they have played this year and the tough environment in the desert should give the Cardinals enough of an advantage to keep this game close if not win it outright.
This is a lot of points for the Colts to cover. Indy is the easy pick with Denver struggling so far this year and the beating the took at the hands of Jacksonville last week. That being said, I think this game will be a lot closer than people expect and will put my voice behind Denver.

It is official and anyone who refuses it is an f’n idiot. Norv Turner is THE worst coach in the NFL, it is not up for debate, it is the truth. On top of that Philip Rivers was pulling off the best impersonation of a QB the league has ever seen. The Chargers demise over the past year, the way it went down, makes Archie Manning look like a genius for not allowing Eli to play in San Diego . . . The Cardinals may actually be ready this year to compete for the post-season. The QB situation is going to be highlighted every week, but Wisenhunt has just the right temperament to handle this situation. On top of that, Leinert and Warner have great personalities, so there is no chance either of these guys pull a Hope Solo . . . I had Denver going 12-4 this year, I might need to rethink that . . . Tampa has my confidence . . . The 49ers are not very good and for the life of me I can’t figure out why people were high on them. To be honest, Norv Turner is hurting the 49ers as well as the Chargers. Norv is a good QB coach and should come to grips with his limitations. His departure is having an adverse affect on Alex Smith and the 49ers are suffering for it.
