I didn't like it going in tho, and stayed away from betting. Too many home favorites. And most of the bigger point spreads covered too. Looks like I got you with Carolina, but was dead wrong about Oakland. Can you believe the Raiders have the same record as the Steelers. TV - Yeah, rough week with our picks.

Regarding your QBs, I'm really big on both Vick and Eli and consider them top-5 options moving forward....Eli was dealing with really tough wind conditions yesterday, so forget about those lackluster numbers, he's really turned the corner is going to be very productive....Vick, well, I can't promise he's really taken his NFL game to the next level for good now, but these last 2 weeks he's decided to pass while scrambling, something he's rarely done before and makes him nearly impossible to defend. As far as fantasywise, I've always liked him b/c of the rushing #s. I'd say Vick's more likely to get hurt, but also more likely to score more points than Eli, but I really like both of them.

His schedule, for the most part, is pretty good and he should be the top dog there from here on out. Since he's even catching passes and Carr loves checking down to his backs (remember D. Davis), I actually think Lundy could be big. Tatum Bell, what can I say...Before yesterday, he was one of my favorites to lead the league in rushing over the 2nd half of the season. Apparently, it wasn't another Shanahan move either, Tatum's turf toe is worse than thought and now he's even saying both toes are bothering him, which is definite cause for concern b/c those injuries tend to linger. Everyone make sure Mike Bell is owned in your league, if not, go get him...Basically, I'd hold onto Tatum unless you get a great return since his upside is so high, but I'd also probably rather keep the safer Jones boys at this point as well, since the Tatum injury presents such a mysterious future...If healthy, yes he'll be big, but I have no idea how long the toe thing will hurt him, and Mike did look impressive Sunday.

I would also not trade Eli at this point. After the Giants play the Bears their schedule gets easier and they wont be running away with the division so you wont have to worry about him resting in the playoffs like his big brother.

Oakland coming off a win and Pitt off a tough loss, Pitt should easily handle em). Other than that, I'm with you.

Arizona +4 (GB is terrible but hard to pick against GB at home as an underdog) Kansas City -4 (I think this is an easy win so it will probably be a blow out by Seattle :)) New Orleans -2 (They are better and will win by a field goal to the cheers of everyone that bets on these boys) St. Louis +10 (They are getting 10 points against a deplted San Diego team...sucker bet) Oakland +9 (Oakland at home is better than 9 points...enough said) New York Jets +2 1/2 (how are they getting points against Cleveland?) Indianapolis +2 1/2 (Manning makes Denver remember the playoffs) Carolina -5 (I dont see how Dallas scores more than 14 points against the Panthers) New England -1 1/2 (I can see Minny winning this but hard to pick against Bellicheck on Monday night) Here are my picks for the week:

Houston +3 (It is Tennessee and they suck)
Jacksonville +7 1/2 (Philly isnt good enough to get 7 1/2 points against a tough Jags team even with injuries on the defensive side)
Cincinatti -4 (I think this could be a blow out as Palmer finally looks to be getting healthy)
Tampa Bay +9 (I dont see the Giants running up the score on TB at home)
San Francisisco +16 (It is 16 points!!!)
Arizona +4 (GB is terrible but hard to pick against GB at home as an underdog)
Kansas City -4 (I think this is an easy win so it will probably be a blow out by Seattle :) )
New Orleans -2 (They are better and will win by a field goal to the cheers of everyone that bets on these boys)
St. Louis +10 (They are getting 10 points against a deplted San Diego team…sucker bet)
Oakland +9 (Oakland at home is better than 9 points…enough said)
New York Jets +2 1/2 (how are they getting points against Cleveland?)
Indianapolis +2 1/2 (Manning makes Denver remember the playoffs)
Carolina -5 (I dont see how Dallas scores more than 14 points against the Panthers)
New England -1 1/2 (I can see Minny winning this but hard to pick against Bellicheck on Monday night)

Picking against a home dog on MNF usually is not good, but I refuse to believe in this Minny team. Although their schedule almost guarantees a trip to the playoffs, and Brad Childress is runner up for coach of the year to Sean Payton.

I know it's a lot of pts to give, but I don't see how the 49ers can hang around in that one. I see a lot of ppl picking Minny and Im with you on NE though.
