Miami (0-0) @ Atlanta (0-0)
Spread: Atlanta (-3.5)
Pick w/o spread: Atlanta
Pick With spread: Miami
Both these teams are very offensive teams with mediocre defenses. However Miami's defense is much worse and with the Falcon's addition of Tony Gonzales, Matt Ryan has enough options to really exploit the Dolphin's weaknesses in their secondary. This will be a high scoring, close game.
Dolphins 26 Falcons 28.

Ok. Favre vs. Quinn. Peterson vs. Vickers. 10-6 vs. 4-12. Really?

Good drafting and being on the upswing makes me think that the Texans will win, but not by much. The Jets have Rex Ryan as their coach and Mark Sanchez at QB

Upset special! I have no idea why, but it will be an upset. These teams will end up battling it out late in the season for the NFC West.

Both teams used to have terrific defenses, now not so much. Based on the preseason, the Packers 1st string scoring TDs on 9 of 13 drives, I'll go Packers.

The Bills can't win this but it won't be an 11 point blowout with Edwards and T.O.
