- We like the Patriots for slightly different reasons. I think they are going to use the same balanced run/pass attack that enabled them to hold on and beat the Colts this past Sunday. And there won't be a late comeback because the Lions don't have Peyton Manning. Jason thinks the Pats will use a deep aerial attack and throw Detroit to death.
- We like the Saints because they're playing great, and they're going to pose a significant upgrade in difficulty for Dallas over the Lions. We can see a back-and-forth affair and a lot of points scored, but we believe that New Orleans will be on top by a TD or more when the smoke clears .
- And we like the Bengals to cover because they've proven that they can't play a complete game, but they're good for a half or so of competitive football, and that should be enough to stay within 9 of the Jets. Carson Palmer and Terrell Owens like to hook up for a couple of big plays each game whether they're getting beat by the Steelers or the Dolphins or the Bills, and that overrated Jets secondary will be happy to accommodate them.
