Who's got two thumbs and loves our PATS? This guy....

New England went HOUSE on Buffalo as 3.5-point road favorites with a final score of 52-28....Ooof, Buffalo...wrong place, wrong time dudes – they played a normal game, scoring 28 points. Unlike our very own FB team who came in and Attacked...again, and again, and again... 31-points in the 4^th quarter. It was blatant that as soon as the Bills came close, the Pats just went bananas and made the game one sided. Yae. Keep doing that Patriots!

This week, Manning comes back into town, wearing a different uniform....Denver comes to Foxboro as 6.5-point road dogs. With great points comes higher point-spread favorites. Jeesh, I thought we were on our way to a season of being the dog and FLIP, what a difference a week makes.

If we talk this out reasonably, we may be able to predict the outcome..... Manning is one guy, and yes, he knows our team well,.....but, he can't teach the Denver Broncos how to respond to our team with words.....it's instinct and habit. We are an entire team including Coaches that know Manning,....and we have his number......Hmmmm. Plus the game is in Foxboro, Brady has targets that he can send telepathy messages to during key moments, and we are coming off a major breakout game with mega-points, …..rust is official off.

But on the flip side, Manning has some targets, a lot of rookies that nobody can predict when they may have a “moment”, and RB, Willis McGahee runs the ball awesomely, making Peyton's job easier.

Last week, Denver beat Oakland, in a divisional 37-6 lop-sided road victory. And apparently, it was the first time Denver has beaten the Raiders at home since 2007. Uh Oh, sounds like Peyton may be getting a groove on. Wow, I can't wait! This should be a great, entertaining, come down to the final minute, kind of game.....I just hope the Pats are on the winning end of that final play.

Moving on to other games, tonight, Thursday, the Cardinals are going to the newly victorious St. Louie as 1-point road favorites. Arizona is yet to be beaten this season and are going for 5 straight wins. The Rams are 2-2, but both of their wins were at home. So they are homebodies. That's a football term that I just feminized....and that's a word I just made up..... moving on.

The Cardinals are pretty solid this year, their wins have been by 4, 2, 21, and 3-points respectively. Tough call. St. Louie plays well at home and one of these weeks Arizona is going to crash to a crappy team-- it's just the way it goes -so which team would that be? St. Louis? Or too soon? Hmmm. I'm going to say too soon. Arizona will put up points early and St. Louie will play catch up. I think.

Moving on to some great games last week with photo finishes – Carolina JUST lost to Atlanta 30-28, and I actually felt bad for the Panthers for the first time EVER. They really played a great game and did deserve to win that game.....wow.....what a sucky ending for them. Carolina's QB, Cam Newton played an admirable game, making plays left and right – but then, with time ticking away and a one point lead, Newton fumbled the ball. Oof. FG for Atlanta and done.

The good news for Carolina is that they host Seattle this week as 3-point favorites and the Seahawks stink on the road and Cam Newton probably feels that redemption is his duty. Go Panthers!

The three 4-0 teams as of now are Houston, Arizona and Atlanta. We covered the Cardinals, the Falcons go to Washington as 3-point favorites, and I think they came too close last weekend and will light it up this weekend....although the Redskins are willy.

Which leaves Houston. The Texans will attend Monday Night Football drama at the Meadowlands with the Jets as 9-point road favorites. That spread is a little high, most likely because of the big goose egg the Jets put up last week when SanFran visited and left 34-0 victors. Rex will probably try and use that to motivate his team – but think about it....what team? Rex has put Sanchez in the patsy position. Sanches has noone to throw to and minimal protection. The Texans have the best defense in the league and are hungry for a Superbowl Ring already.....and they're coming for those men in green with fire in their bellies..... RAAAAAAGHHHH.. Should be fun to watch the slaughter that is sure to happen.

I want to mention New Orleans and their awful track record thus far. They keep coming close but no cigar. Last week they went to Lambeau to take on my boys and lost by 1-point. SMACK. 28-27. Ouch. Tightly fought game, but you know #12 is Superman. This week, Green Bay goes to Indy as 7-point road favorites and I don't think they have anything to fear as long as they don't get cocky and sloppy.

New Orleans will host SanDiego as gasp, 3.5-point home favorites. Well, the Saints can score, evidently. San Diego usually bites on the East Coast and whine-bag Phillip Rivers had a good game last week with a 37-20 win in Kansas City....which is a difficult stadium to win in, but is also clear across the country....happy traveling. New Orleans should get their first win here.

Philly beat the Giants in a low scoring 19-17, see-saw game Sunday night. Next up the Eagles go to Steeler Country as 3.5-point road dogs. This should be a good game – I'm wary of that .5-point hook....although...the Eagles have won their games by one or two points thus far this year, where as when the Steelers win it's usually by more than 3-points. Should be another good one.

The Giants host the Browns as 8..5-point home favorites. Cleveland may want to be leery. The Giants have been inconsistent to say the least and the have yet to get into their usual groove....but it's coming....and being home the Giants need a win to pacify their NY fans who are brutally critical of their team.

Lastly, Monday night Chicago went to Dallas and crunched the Boys 34-18. Oh Cowboys, it just wasn't your week..and your QB is a choke artist...especially when it counts the most, come on; y'all know that!

Chicago will travel to Jacksonville as 6-point road favorites. Suddenly, the Bears are Jellin'; I hope Jay Cutler keeps it up, he tends to fizzle toward the end of the season, so love him now while he's good.

This week, #5 is the first Bye Week – so, the teams on a break are Detroit, Oakland, TB, and Dallas (maybe it will shake the win/lose pattern the Boys have).

May you enjoy your Sunday and day off on Monday - - Whoot Whoot..... stay up late and watch Sunday night's game, it should be great to watch Drew's Drama as he proves himself to the team that rejected him.....and shoves his replacement's face in the turf. Boooof.

Picks: Arizona-1.5; Carolina -3; NO-3.5 (wow I NEVER take so many favorites!) - okay, my dog will be ...KC+6 and those swear word Jaguars +3....xoxox enjoy
