Week 7 NFL Spreads: Vikings vs. Steelers

NFL WEEK 7 – Minnesota Vikings vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Up is down is up in Pittsburgh, where the running game is in shambles and Ben Roethisberger and Hines Ward have become the most dangerous pass-catch combination in the league.

The defending Super Bowl champs have basically re-invented themselves on the fly after early-season losses losses to Chicago and Cincinnati put them in an early hole in the AFC North. Gone is the reliance on the power running game, replaced by Roethlisberger firing the ball all over the field.

Week 7 NFL Spreads: Jets vs. Raiders

NFL Week 7 – N.Y. JETS vs. OAKLAND RAIDERS

Mark Sanchez has an NFL arm. Anyone who has seen him throw a football more than once or twice is convinced of that.

Sanchez also has kahones. He proved that in his second game as a pro when he engineered second-half drives in a victory over the Patriots, and in the process outplayed Tom Brady.

Week 6 NFL Spreads: Giants vs. Saints

NFL Week 6 – N.Y. Giants vs. New Orleans Saints

You might think that the Saints would have a huge advantage over the Giants this Sunday. New Orleans is coming off its bye week and has had 14 days to get ready. But the Giants last Sunday had the closest thing to a bye week –– a home game against Oakland –– and should be well-rested when the two unbeatens meet in New Orleans in the biggest game of the NFL season to date.

Week 6 NFL Spreads: Cards vs. Seahawks

NFL Week 6 – Arizona Cardinals vs. Seattle Seahawks

Seneca Wallace is a nice backup quarterback, but everyone who has even a passing interest in the NFC West knows that the fewer snaps he takes this season, the greater the chance of the Seahawks restoring themselves as the top team in the division.

The AFC West was figured out way before the start of the season. This time San Diego wouldn’t get off to a slow start, and the Chargers’ talent would dominate a division in which their three opponents were all rebuilding.

Week 3 NFL Spreads: Falcons vs. Patriots

NFL Week 3 – Atlanta Falcons vs. New England Patriots

Thousands of people come daily to Patriot Place, the vast shopping/entertainment/restaurant plaza that surrounds Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. Unfortunately, none of the visitors seems to have even a clue about what ails their football team. Up is down and down is up in New England, where the Patriots’ powerful offense has been rendered impotent and a defense that uses players no one has ever heard of has been not that bad.

Week 3 NFL Spreads: Saints vs. Bills

NFL Week 3 – New Orleans Saints vs. Buffalo Bills

How high can the O/U go in Saints games? 55? 60? 70?

In racing off to a 2-0 start, Drew Brees and the Saints are already being compared to the 2007 New England Patriots, who won 16 straight in the regular season before that Super Bowl flameout. Tom Brady threw 50 touchdown passes that season, and there is speculation that Brees will challenge that record.

Week 3 NFL Spreads: Colts vs. Cardinals

NFL Week 3 – Indianapolis Colts vs. Arizona Cardinals

Herds of unicorns will be be photographed roaming the desert outside Phoenix before the Cardinals turn into a run-oriented team. Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin (as long as he sticks around), Kurt Warner and last year’s march to the Super Bowl pretty much guarantee that for the time being, and beyond, the Cardinals will live and die with the forward pass.

Week 2 NFL Spreads: Giants vs. Cowboys

NFL Week 2 – New England Patriots vs. New York Jets

At 34-14-1, there is no better team in the National Football League playing its home opener than the Dallas Cowboys. And win or lose, no home opener will be more memorable than Sunday’s night’s cage match against the New York Giants in the new 100,000-seat Cowboys Stadium.

Week 2 NFL Spreads: Patriots vs. Jets

NFL Week 2 – New England Patriots vs. New York Jets

In New England, no one really knows what to make of Rex Ryan.

Since Vince Lombardi was carving up the league in the 1960s, the No. 1 rule was to never say anything that could give an opponent even an extra ounce of motivation on game day.

Ryan has basically blown up that business model, at least when it comes to the New England Patriots. The new Jets coach says he refuses to pay homage to Pats coach Bill Belichick, and furthermore he says he has a decent team in East Rutherford and plans to give NE a run for its money in the AFC East.

Week 1 NFL Spreads: Eagles vs. Panthers

NFL Week 1 – Philadelphia Eagles vs. Carolina Panthers

Stability in the NFL usually trumps change, but this game will give that theory a good test. The Carolina Panthers return basically the same team which stunk out the stadium in a bizarre playoff loss to the Cardinals last January, while the Philadelphia Eagles come in after jettisoning their best back-7 defender (safety Brian Dawkins) and in the process of figuring out what to do with Michael Vick when the former dog torturer joins the team for active duty in Week 3.
