Here's this weeks thoughts, it's tougher than the 1st week, small stakes advised, good luck.

 

New York Jets at Buffalo

 

Looks a close game, New York QB Pennington is some way ahead of his counterpart at this stage, great throwing arm and does well enough on 3rd conversions a big help especially if chasing the game. However the legendary Curtis Martin ( NYJ ) not about the running game will favour the Bills MaGhee who will trouble the Jets defence, affording Losman the chance not to be that aggressive with his arm, watch out for the excellent defensive abilities of the improving Ryan Denney.

 

I think Bills win this but cant recommend betting the 5.5 ! either team

 

Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers

 

Sit back and enjoy, the immovable object that is the Steelers against the irresistable force of the Bengals, absolutely no bet, beginning to sound like Kevin Pullein

 

Jacksonville Jaguars at Indianapolis Colts

 

The Colts speak for themselves, what you see is what you get, for me Manning is the main man, best QB by far, different class mind and if he gets any sort of protection they will run riot, Mathis (Jags) is possibly the most effective defender but he takes risks and on occasion gets out of position, the Jaguars offence is not for me, Taylor (RB) their most potent outlet is less effective given Leftwich's lack of ability. Indians can score very quickly whereas nothing gets done too soon by the Jags.

 

Colts win comfortably

 

Tennessee Titans at Miami Dolphins

 

Possibly the worst match of the day, might get send you to the nuthouse but a must play game for me. Sometimes when you evaluate teams, the most important thing is to accept your original thoughts were misplaced, I genuinely believed Miami would do well this year and saw the signing of Culpepper as a good one, but truth is he's overated. He has the physical capabilities to be awesome but his nemisis will always be his decision making. He throws too many bad balls and defences eyes light up when they see that it's him  throwing the ball. His counterpart is the equally ineffective Kerry Collins, but make no mistake, when he gets his timing right his arm is different gravy to his opponent. The key to the game for me, is the lack of potence on each team, and the 11 start for the Titans could well be a gift, the NAP for me this week, but small stakes only given the teams involved.

 

Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings

 

A belter of a game, the Bears at this stage look mightily impressive, very difficult to break down but this year they are scoring more freely, but the 3.5 start home side is appealing, think Smoots will play well for the Titans defence.
