Where's the Broncos/Raiders game?
Patriots by 9 over the Giants? I would take NY all day there.
Baltimore/Pittsburgh sure will be fun. Hopefully the Ravens dont keep up their pathetic road play.

Two games have been added since I created this thread. I tend to miss a couple until the lines are posted.

That Giants line is a bit steep. As much as I think that they'll find a way to keep close and then blow it, I still think it's steep.
As for an upset, I'll take Chicago over Philly.

I think Atlanta will cover easily...especially with Julio coming back....no way the Colts can stop Turner, Roddy, and Julio...

Cleveland will be without Hardesty, and Hillis is probably a game-time decision. With Colt McCoy at QB and Chris Ogbonnaya the only healthy RB, I really don't see them hanging with the Texans. Although these are the types of games that Houston has crapped the bed on in the past.
I like the Giants to cover.
Some tough games to pick this week, could be an interesting weekend. Only straight up locks I see are Green Bay and Oakland.

I'll go Cincy on the road in Tennessee for my upset, straight up.

That game is more of a toss up, can't see how either team winning would be an upset.

Oakland a lock even after Week 7? Interesting. Any news on Palmer?

It's Denver and Tebow, of course they're a lock.

True, but Oakland's got problems of their own, especially if McFadden can't get fully healthy in time. Raiders are still no doubt favorites, but IDK about a lock.

I could see the Redskins pulling off an upset as well. It's an early start for a West Coast team, the Redskins were embarrassed by the Bills, and the 49ers have won 5 in a row. They're due for an upset...

Sounds like Palmer is picking up the offense well and should be good to go against Denver. Hell, he only knew 15 plays in that last game and got put into a bad situation.
McFadden will also be playing this well.
As a Raiders fan, I don't put much stock into that KC game at all. I knew it was a certain loss as soon as Boller was announced as the starter. Then our star RB goes down and we bring in a QB who had one practice in his back pocket.
KC still doesn't scare me much at all. Can't wait for the rematch.

Cincy is a 3 point dog....

They're 5-2, so again, I think it's more of a toss up.

Of course. That's why you'd bet them. But Cincy is by definition a 3 point underdog. Not complicated. You're just making my argument that they're the underdog to take...

It's not a sure thing that Darren McFadden plays against Denver. Oakland really needs this win coming off the bye week and especially after the poor showing against KC.

Michael Bush can handle the workload though. He's one of the most capable backups in the league.
