You can call me a homer... but I'll tell you one thing....
The raiders allways play close games on the east coast...
Last Year.. Opening Nite... plays@ Pats (superbowl champs) close game, gave pats everything they could handle..
two weeks later @ Eagles. (superbowl loser) and loses by a field goal
plays @ washington and wins..

and I know the thing about one coast team traveling to the other coast, but the raiders usually show up ON the east coast.. I know you can call me crazy... but the raiders getting 12? Thats alot of points..and IM sure the PUBLIC loves the ravens.. [ no wonder they got big casinos in LV..]

Got a feeling the "big" lines will come through this week. Last week, I loved the JETS, BENGALS, SAINTS and COWBOYS getting points. Went 3-1, with Bledsoe blowing the game late for the boys. This week, four of those "double digit" lines look tough. The Raiders could be worst than the Packers, if the Ravens win 24-0 they cover and may shut them out. Colts at home will run-up the scoring, see a 35-17 score here. Bengals should have no problem with thier cross-state rivals the Browns, 35-10 easy. Broncos at home after getting beat by 6 field goals? All the "mile high" team here going against a team with thier second string quarterback and Herm at the helm; 28-10. The only "big line" that concerns me is the Chargers/ Titans. Although, if Fisher plays the "q-back merry-go-round" again this week, it could be another blowout for the Bolts!
As for the rest...BILLS +7, PANTHERS -2.5, BUCS +5.5, CARDS +7.5, LIONS +8
JETS +5.5, REDSKINS +6.5. Pass on the other games

Second week in a row San Diego is the lead pipe lock of the week. They are a team posessed. Tenn will rotate in Young a few sseries, I think they could care less about win/loss, they want to get VY some playing time. At home against an equally bad team like the Jets and they lost. On the road at SD, it will be blowout city. Definately agree w/ HHH about Bengals, easily cruising to victory. Indy @ home is another one I love, McNabb threw all over Texans, what do you think Peyton will do? Ravens were very impressive @ Bucs, will abuse a very, very BAD Oak team. I like me some NY Giants getting 3 @ Phily, I'm sure they will be hype, but I'm not drinking the Kood-Aid. I think the Giants win that game.

To sum it up, you may see back 2 back shutouts by Ravens and Chargers. Colts and bengals roll. The Giants get-er-done @ Phily. My avoid like the plague games are pretty much the rest of them. Especially the Bears, 9 is WAY too much to be giving to an improved Lions.

Quote my self, all except me avoiding the bears. WOW, they look real good. My bad Bears. Damn near back to back shutouts for those 2 above. Indy rolled and Bengals did the same. Giants had mad come back skillz and won outright, like I said.
