    Wow … Bears to lose 34-21 at New Orleans??? They might lose, but I just don’t see the Saints getting that many points. Saints 24 -21 feels better … although that stinks cuz I want the Bears to win. Urlacher will play.

    ARZ winning in Washington vs the Skins??? I say take the Redskins to win by 4 at home.

    MNF hangover? The Pats will lose to Chargers? I’ ll go against your prediction.

    Cleveland will beat Indy because the Colts are that bad.

    I’ll go with the Bills over the Raiders.

    And the Giants? I predict a lot of Eli-face this weekend and for the rest of the season.

    Casey … I gotta agree with ya on most of that. Pats over Chargers, esp since they’re at home, but I think it will be less than a TD. Bills over Raiders … probably right. Browns over Colts? It’s gonna be close, but I will give the nod to Indy. They’re at home and I think their defense was exposed last week by a VERY GOOD offense in Houston. Remember, Browns lost to the lowly Bungles last week … Bungles without Carson Palmer and a rookie QB. OUCH!

    The SAints are a much better team than the Bears. Needless to say I think last week was a fluke for Da Bears. I hate betting against the Pats, but I think Rivers makes a statement. He was my preseason MVP, and by matching Brady here, he could take that step. Bills or the Raiders will be 2-0, yikes. Darren McFadden is the best player on the field, and without the weather advantage for Buffalo, I like the Raiders.

    Casey, the Giants need a win here. One Manning needs to win sooner or later, and Peyton is out for another 2+ months. Injuries to the Rams stars, i like the Gmen to dominate on MNF

    Philly and Atlanta is kind of a big game. I hate the Chargers. They’re picked by everyone every year. Philip Rivers is obnoxious, which doesn’t help. I hope Tom Brady goes for another 500.
