Here is the secret to the NFL that I have found.  Bad team playing Bad team, tough call.  Good team playing good team, tough call.  Good team playing bad team, take the spread.  For two weeks the heavy favorites are covering most of the time.  This week I take the same approach.
 
Steelers -14 vs. Cleveland
I think we have all had time to digest what 2 of 17 for 23 yards means.  Derek Anderson's quarterback rating was 15.1% (I think Tony Goodwin, aka "Murder Fooker" actually had a higher ACT score than that).  Cleveland has absolutely ZERO offensive presence.  They have no deep threat now that Braylon Edwards is gone, their quarterback play is simply atrocious and their running back is 72 years old.  The Steelers have found a new little toy in Reshard Mendenhall and Big Ben has been playing great football.  I see no reason to believe that the Steelers won't roll the Clowns at home.  Take Pitt and give the 14. 
 
Patriots -9 vs. Tennessee
I kept thinking that the Titans were going to come out of their funk, but it's just that bad.  They can't stop the run, can't pressure the quarterback, their WR's are pathetic and Kerry Collins is playing like Derek Anderson.  The Patriots are probably not real happy with last weeks debacle and Tom Brady was visibly PISSED OFF after missing Randy Moss and Wes Welker for two easy touchdowns which would have put the game out of reach in Denver.  I think Tom Brady has a lot to prove and they put the smack down on the Titans.  If I didn't like another game more, I would have picked this game as my lock.  Be that as it may, mark it down; Pats by more than 9.
 
Eagles -14 vs. DA RAAAIDERS
Antonio Pierce was interviewed on a local radio show in LA and said that playing the Raiders was like playing a scrimmage.  He went further, stating that the Raiders play with no emotion, no energy and don't care.  Enough Said.  Jamarcus Russell is Kerry Collins Bad, who is Derek Anderson bad.  Last week in their 44-7 loss to the Giants he was 8 of 13 (Wow.)  The Eagles are playing very solid football and have a savvy, veteran group on the defensive side of the ball to make the Raiders look just like they did vs. The Giants.  Plus, their head coach is about to have the silver bracelets put on him after they arrest his ass for assault on one of his assistant coaches (Seriously Buddy Ryan, you can't go around punching your assistant coaches!).  The Eagles take out the trash and cover the 14.
 
NY Jets -9.5 vs. Buffalo
I may not have chosen this game if it weren't for Derrelle Revis.  Although I hate Terrell Owens more than any football player to ever put on a uniform, he does have the ability to cover the spread for teams with his deep threat ability.  With that said, Derrelle Revis is legit, shut down Randy Moss and will love the challenge to do it vs. TO.  Furthermore, if TO couldn't get off on the Clowns in an offense that scored THREE points vs. Cleveland (AT HOME), I don't see him doing anything on the road vs. this Jets team.  Rex Ryan will blitz Trent Edwards so much he will be begging JP Losman to come back from the UFL.  Everybody watched the Jets on Monday Night.  They have a solid attack offensively and defensively.  The POUND the Bills badly.  Lay the 9.5.
 
Panthers - 3 vs. Tampa Bay (LOCK)
The Panthers screwed me out of winning $5600 last week by not covering the four point spread, winning by only 3 (I believe I said the "F" bomb 4,265 times this week thinking about that game and I just said it again as a matter of fact).  Anyway (FUCK!!) I still believe in Carolina and I'm going to give them another shot to turn my frown upside down.  I know Jake Delhome is very inconsistent, but he can throw 8 picks in this one, and the Panthers can still win (Yes, Tampa is that bad).  Carolina's defense is ranked 6th in the NFL and I'm banking on their two headed monsters at running back to go off on the 28 worst defense in the league.  So, I'm taking the 6th ranked defense vs. a Josh Johnson lead offense, who threw 3 INT's last week in a 33-14 loss to the Eagles, to cover the three.  LOCK IT UP BITCHES any lay the 3.
