Platinum Pick of the week:
Rams -4
The Rams are one of the most explosive teams in the league. They
have been playing great even without RB Marshall Faulk, who is
back & fully rested. Mark Bulger is playing as good if not
better than any QB in the league. The Rams defense is fast and
excellent at pursuit. They should be able to limit the 49ers running
game. With Jeff Garcia injured and benched, the rams should have
less to worry about with Terrell Owens. The Rams will pressure
young back up QB Tim Rattay. My only question is will the Rams
defense outscore the 49ers offense. RAMS -4
Gold Picks:
Eagles -4.5
Panthers 6
Vikings -4.5
Raiders -3
Call me crazy but I think the Falcons stink. Therefore I was
going with the Eagles as my Platinum Pick of the week. But then
the Jeff Garcia injury popped up. Donovan will have enough time
to get in a groove. He should be able to look good against this
horrible Falcons secondary. Throw in the fact the Eagles are finally
developing an effective run game. Donovan will have plenty of
chunky soup this week after his Eagles beat up on the Falcons.
EAGLES -4.5
If you have been reading my weekly posts then you are well aware
that I am on the Carolina bandwagon. They are a tight group that
is well coached and they all play tough. These guys wanna win
for themselves as much as for each other. They play to win. The
Panthers have not looked out of place yet this season. Credit
that to coach John Fox. They will be tasting blood on the road
in Texas with backup QB Tony Banks starting. He may be lunch for
Julius Peppers and the rest of the ferocious Panthers defense.
PANTHERS -5
The Vikings are playing great football. They patched up most
of their weak spots during the off season and now they are finally
as good as they can be. This week they host Brett Favre and his
broken thumb, oh yeah and his impossibility of winning in a dome.
This one is the one you don’t even have to look at. Brett
Favre simply cannot win in domes. Now consider how good the Vikings
are playing and you have a comfortable 4.5 spread. VIKINGS -4.5
The Raiders get back WR Jerry Porter and nobody is more relieved
than Rich Gannon. Porter, although maybe not the most talented
player on the team, he is the biggest difference maker. With a
legit 3rd WR and slot guy Gannon will be able to stretch the field.
Having two or three short options is what makes this Raiders offense
click. Seems like they have the O line playing better, Charlie
Garner is getting back to form, and Gannon will have a lot less
pressure on him this week. Gannon must be feeling relief and licking
his chops thinking about playing Detroit Tigers. Er Um I mean
the Lions. Raiders win big in Detroit. RAIDERS -3
