Atlanta +4.5 at New Orleans -4.5
GET THE LIVE NFL LINES NOW!
This should be a gem as both these two come into this game playing very well. Both feature good solid hard hitting defenses and dynamic QBs. Is anyone as exciting as Micheal Vick? But is anyone playing as well as the Saints?

Chicago at Minnesota E
GET THE LIVE NFL LINES NOW!
The Bears have to be at an all time low this week after losing to the Lions. It gets no better this week
as they are still on the road in the very noisy Vikingdome. The Vikes look equally pathetic and can stop no one defensively.
That should make this exciting. However if things do go well for the Vikes they can score.
You cant always say that about the Bears, even when things are going well.

GET THE LIVE NFL LINES NOW!
Here are a couple of teams coming in on winning notes. The Jets put out a nice effort in getting thier second win.
While Cleve. beat on the expansion brat... Cleveland is playing for control of thier division(?) While the Jets are reduced to
spoiler already this season. Heres where it starts to smell spoiled...

Detroit +7.5 at Buffalo -7.5
GET THE LIVE NFL LINES NOW!
Sure we all knew about the Bills here at TheNFLedge, going way back to preseason. Who knew about Detroit though? They started sloppy enough, but look at what they have done since. They have now won 3 of the last 4 "Against The Spread" (aka: ATS), and even in the loss it came down to their final drive with a chance to win. This is not news to us, since we identified in the preseason that Detroit did that nine times last year - losing most times! They just wont win in Buffalo this week, but keep that little fact in mind if you have to lay the 8 points!

Oakland -2.5 at Kansas City +2.5
GET THE LIVE NFL LINES NOW!
Kansas Citys lack of defense is catching up to them. Two weeks now dropping close high scoring games. The Raiders have also been beaten in consecutive weeks. With injuries starting to mount up, especially on thier special teams. Their offense should still be able to outpace KC, even at home, thanks to KCs hospitable defense. However they have been burned by big time games from RBs Tomlinson and Faulk and KC features Priest Holmes who is in the same class. The Raiders will find a way to win it, I think, but the "over" may be the best play here. Should, of course, you be inclined to
do such things...

FINAL KC 20 - OAK 10 Loser
Pittsburgh at Baltimore E
GET THE LIVE NFL LINES NOW!
A huge game for the AFC North division. Pittsburgh we all sort of figured would be here.
They have really come on. Baltimore has surprised quite a few folks thus far hanging in there, and are starting to really gain lots of confidence. Pittsburgh RB Jerome Bettis was a little banged up at the half monday and Pitt was completely different without him. Baltimore will be getting LB Ray Lewis back this week and knows the Steelers very well. I am still not sold on QB Tommy Maddox despite how good he has looked, he will face much more pressure this week and wont have the luxury of being able to grind it out. We'll see how he handles it this week on the road. Did anyone notice the job that Brian Billick is doing this year, you will after this week.

Seattle +2.5 at Dallas -2.5
GET THE LIVE NFL LINES NOW!
Someone has finally pulled the blanket off this whole "Trent Dilfer just wins" thing.
The Hawks need more than just Dilfer. The Cowboys have given up on Q.C. the QB right after he leads them to two wins in a row (ATS) - and within a game (and a kick) out of first. They did the same thing last year to Leaf!?! I followed Chad Hutchinson in the pre-season and he can be pretty good - but they dont blitz anywhere near as much in the pre-season. This might be good news for Dallas as guys coming off the bench historically can be a boost - lookit Tommy Maddox!?!- but "Hutch" has no NFL experience. Seattle will do good to get the ball in RB S. Alexanders hands early and often, and if they can get pressure on Hutch - Dallas fans will realize that changing QB for this game was not a good idea. Hutch, Hutch, Hike!

Dr. Biffs NCAA PICKS!!

OK, College ball fans - another week of great games awaits. My thoughts right now? That damn Big Ten! It's pretty tough to figure out. This weekend will either help to sort that mess out, or make it even worse. Here's my prescription for this week...
Iowa +3.5 at Michgan -3.5
GET ACTION ON THIS GAME NOW - CLICK HERE
A huge Big "Eleven" matchup. Iowa's offense has been bruising so far this year, and their running game will have to be in top form for this road game in the Big House. Michigan hasn't done anything spectacular this year, but all they do is come out on top, they just win. I like another win for this lunchpail crew as the Wolverine D gets it done by stuffing the run and QB John Navarre and RB BJ Askew run the offense.

Penn State +4.5 at Ohio State +4.5

For the Doc's money, this one is a can't miss great game. Two power teams with tons of tradition meeting head on. Penn State's D is better than they showed at the end of last week's game against Michigan. I love the balance they have on offense as well. Sure Ohio States RB Maurice Clarrett is a stud, but I see Penn States QB Zach Mills being the difference here. The Doc says Penn State pulls the upset as road dogs.

Tampa Bay -6.5 at Carolina +6.5
GET THE LIVE NFL LINES NOW!
Both teams come in off big losses. Both lost thier starters at quarterback. Tampa turns to Bills cast off Rob Johnson, Carolina turns to Chris Weinke - oh no - hes hurt too, so they now turn to rookie QB Randy Fasani. The Cats were shut out last week and will find no love from the battered Bucs this week either. Gone is the balance that Carolina had which allowed them to go 3-0 at the start of the season. As good as RB Lamar Smith is, he just cant do it without balance. So unless Fasani comes out and plays like Marino - and what are the odds of that - Tampa will get things back on track behind Rob Johnson, which may be an improvement over the way Brad Johnson was playing thus far this season.

Tennessee -6.5 at Cincinnati +6.5
GET THE LIVE NFL LINES NOW!
Last week was a very good week for Bengal fans. They didnt lose. It was thier bye week.
Every year there is a Cincinnati out there, a team which just looks awful, so awful that you wonder if they will ever win a game. Yet no one since the 1976 (Pre-Free agency expansion) Buccaneers has gone winless over an entire season. What that says is that someone, somewhere will be upset by the Bengals. The Bengals? Someone check the "proof" of my water. Against McNair, George and the Titans?? Well thats why they call them upsets.
NO I haven't gone compeletly insane, I will just say that its close this week...

Arizona +9.5 at San Francisco -9.5
GET THE LIVE NFL LINES NOW!
Sure this looks like a mismatch on paper. The reality is that this is a really big game for both these two. That is an awfully big point spread for a battle of division leaders isn't it?
Think back to the Raiders/Chargers game last week. hmmmm. Sure I know 'Zona is real ugly, and Jake Plummer sucks, and they should have lost last week, yeah, and all that. But they are 4-2(!) and really not given ANY respect at all. They could earn a bunch this week though. If they win this, they are alone atop the NFC West. (repeat that and try not to laugh) While they probably wont win this game, they have a pretty good defense, and David Boston is right there with Terrell Owens as far as playmakers go, but Plummer could use a lesson or two from Niner QB Jeff Garcia, who will bail the Niners out of this with a W anyway.

Denver +2.5 at New England -2.5
GET THE LIVE NFL LINES NOW!
Now who was it that said New Engl. has too much to overcome to repeat. Oh yeah ME! Well they are now third in thier division, and losers of three in a row. I know its early still, but if the Pats are going to make a run, they will need to stop this losing skid. Denver faces a consecutive tough road game. That might be good for Griese who isnt boo'd every time he throws an incomplete pass. It might not be far from that for Brady if the Pats dont get it going early at home, the Broncos Defense will be tough enough without having to endure jeers from your own fans. Are NE fans that fickle?
We'll see...

Houston +10.5 at Jacksonville -10.5
GET THE LIVE NFL LINES NOW!
I made the mistake of taking Houston with a double digit point spread last week, and while looking pretty good for 3 quarters, I was again reminded of why you always bet against expansion teams. Houston might be good for one cover a month, and they done got two in September already. RB Fred Taylor should have a huge day for you fantasy freaks if you have him that is...

Indianapolis at Washington E
GET THE LIVE NFL LINES NOW!
Hard to get a read on this line - started as Indy favored by two, and then moved to Wash by 2, then down to 1, now back to E and its ONLY TUESDAY. Washington is mired in a QB "controversy" - well not really, they have no qb, so there is no controversy. Otherwise they have a team which, like Pitt on Monday, can give the Colts trouble with thier defense and blitzes. If they get RB Stephen Davis going they can open up the passing lanes for... for, ... Danny Wuerful, back once again this week. Well, if Tommy Maddox could light them up - why not Wuerful?
Sure it could happen....

N.Y. Giants +6.5 at Philadelphia -6.5
Six straight in what one time was my forte. I am back this week though, I cant miss tonight, and the way the late games went yesterday - I really need this game. Sure last year Philly swept NY and both games won by a combined total or 4 points. That was last year. This year the Giants are struggling to score, rookie TE Jeremy Shockey is questionable and without him - the Giants lose a huge weapon over the middle to attack the blitz. The Eagles will blitz - eary and often the Giants young line has struggled against the Blitz - they should be able to pressue NY QB Kerry Collins and he is lousy under pressure. Offensively the Eagles found thier running game and RB Duece Staley has shown that he is healthy and starting to really come on. The Eagles should run all over NY without DL Keith Hamilton in the Middle. Should they need to, they do have Donovan McNabb at QB to bail them out - but he wont need to win this one - the other guys will do this easily.

Notre Dame +10.5 at Florida State -10.5
GET ACTION ON THIS GAME NOW - CLICK HERE
Funny thing, but Florida State won the Doc over in their loss to Miami two weeks back. For a program that has done nothing but win for the last decade or so, it's odd that it took a loss for them to prove to me that they really are an elite team this season. Tons of talent on both sides of the ball, period. Their one weak spot is the secondary, but the Doc says that ND can't take advantage of that as long as they have an option QB running the West Coast offense.
They wont be able to just pound it like they did against Air Force. ND does have a talented defense though and they will hang in there and keep the game close.
FSU is just too tough in Tallahassee, even for the gritty, resilient Irish.

Southern Cal -1.5 at Oregon +1.5
GET ACTION ON THIS GAME NOW - CLICK HERE
This is one of the great Pac 10 matchups of the year. It could be quite a display with QBs Carson Palmer vs QB Jason Fife. Has all the makings of a classic western shootout. Oregon's D was exposed last week against Arizona State. Sun Devils quarterback Andrew Walter threw for a school-record 536 yards and four touchdowns in leading the comeback. USC has lost some tough games this year as well, but have loads of talent and match up well with Oregon. I'm giving the nod to SC because of that tougher defense. Thier offense behind Palmer will be able to control the ball and keep Oregon's O off the field enough to survive the shootout!
