I think there are some pretty easy ones here...
- 13.5 is way too much, even for Indy vs Cleveland
- Tampa vs Greenbay
- San Diego vs Giants
 
don't see chicago stepping up to beat cincinnatti, but I really think Cincy is a very good team that just needed a few years to mature to where they are today. They could drop it though, they're not there yet to be the kind of team that just wins the games they're supposed to win, they're kind of like the saints and falcons of the last few years to me.
 
13.5 is too much? The Browns arent very good. I dont think so... Indy could easily be 7-0, they dont have a real good team for many weeks.
 
cleveland over indy? your crazy. and wtf is this miami bullshit, we will stomp them so fast they wont know what even hit them
 
When the spread projects a team winning by two touchdowns in the NFL, I'm almost always going w/ the underdog.
 
i think the pats will rebound this week
arizona is improved but 6 1/2 isn't enough to go against
jacksonville and the saints could win
indy just came off the jacksonville game and manning blew, if he continues like that 13 1/2 is too many even against the browns
 
Here's a table w/ the overall NFL ranking for each team playing this week in every category, sorted by their average ranking. It's a bit flawed at this point in the season because it doesn't factor in any kind of strength of schedule, but I'll find a way to work that in later probably.

edit: some teams are tied in some categories, so there are a few areas where two or more teams will have the same rank in a certain category.

Sco = scoring offense... ScD = scoring defense

i expect that manning will light it up this weekend.

I also expect my pats to rebound and hit the steelers hard
 
Manning also played against what is probably the two leagues best defenses... Ravens and Jacksonville. Or at least 2 of the top few. They didnt score many on them least year either. They are just very sound at D.

I too expect the Pats to beat the Steelers, but I hope they dont. I also am not sure that the Jets will beat the Jags. It depends on if Left is hurt. If he doesnt play, there is little chance they will beat the Jets. It also depends on which Jets team shows up.. All others I agree with.
 
Panthers will defintely beat the spread versus Miami. If Brady can't stand up against that pressure I guarantee Ferotte can't. And the O-Line/Ronnie Brown have looked horrible so far, plus the Panthers have been playing great Rush Defense.

If Delhomme can get his shit together this will be a laugher, if not the Panthers will still win by 10+
