random thoughts:

PIT is going to show SF that the AFC North isn't. the NFC West.

BAL going to show ARI that the AFC North isn't the NFC west.

MIN @ KC lol

I like Tampa Bay over St Louis. I called them over the Aint's last week too, and I've made it a point even before the season started to let everyone know how discustingly overrated the Aints were last year and this year. Bucs underrated too, IMO. FWIW, I still want to see NO succeed b/c of katrina and all, I just don't really think they are that good.

CLE @ OAK... I don't really follow sports betting but I'd imagine that it would be a pick'em game on a neutral field so I'm guessing OAK-3 for this. Seems reasonable... there's a TON of optimism right now in Cleveland but I think Anderson and the O is going to have a tough time in Oakland against a very underrated oakland D. I expect defenses to shine in a tough close game. I'll say Oakland by, uh, 3.

pats gonna roll to 3-0 no problem. They made the chargers look like whiny little girls the other night.

i don't know
