Atlanta Falcons (-8) over Cleveland Browns
Michael Vick and Warrick Dunn are licking their chops as they prepare for one of the weakest-run defenses in the league. And even though Atlanta has given up more than 30 points a contest over the last four weeks, Cleveland has scored three touchdowns just once in eight games (against Oakland, if that even counts).
Tennessee Titans (+7) over Baltimore Ravens
Baltimore has managed to record three wins over a brutal five-game schedule to remain atop the AFC North, but Jim Fassel would attest the Ravens still have a lot of question marks offensively. If Vince Young can get out of the pocket, the Titans will keep this one close.
Pittsburgh Steelers (-4) over New Orleans Saints
With two pass-happy teams, this could be the highest scoring game of the week. Look for Pittsburgh’s front seven to make the difference when this one comes down to the wire.
Detroit Lions (-6) over San Francisco 49ers
Roy Williams predicted Detroit would run the table during the final nine weeks, and who am I to argue with one of the NFL’s brightest young receivers. Lions win this one easily.
