I'm surprised Atlanta isn't favored over the Eagles and I'm an Eagles fan.
In other match-ups: It was a rough weekend for football players named Rodgers. Aaron's concussion could be a factor in Miami over the Pack and why the line isn't out yet.
I'd say go for it all and hope that Colt McCoy does something legendary in his first start against the Steelers. He's got the storybook name to do it - that's for sure.
And who knows? Maybe Ben will have an attack of bad karma.
This is a tough season to figure. Either the Vikings or the Cowboys will be 1-4 by Monday. Who saw that coming?

Bill, I saw it with Dallas, but then I'm biased. You wouldn't get it out there, but Dallas radio and television are currently inundated with ads featuring "the official [fill in the blank] of the Dallas Cowboys". When the University of Phoenix is one of the people buying in on the scam, it practically screams a repeat of the '88-89 season: 1-16, and Jerry Jones working every scam he can to make money off the team's name to make up for the loss in ticket sales revenue.

Kansas City looks interesting against Houston.

Might be time to take a flier on Detroit. They are very close to being 4-1 instead of 1-4. Several good teams have barely escaped with victories this year.

The GB v. MIA line is likely being held back for word on whether Aaron Rodgers will have to miss the game b/c of a concussion.

Well, apparently I should read the comments before posting. Bill scooped me.

That Jacksonville line is amazing. Tennessee will crush the Jags.
But I love the nice spread for Oakland against the Niners, whom Gregg Easterbrook called "practically uncoached" last week.
