Lock:

Buffalo (-1.5) over MIAMI: Buffalo is on fire. Plain and simple. Miami looks better than they have in recent years, but the Bills will still beat them badly in this affair. The Haastile Bottom Line of the Week: Buffalo’s for real, and it’s time that the rest of the league took notice.

CAROLINA (-4.5) over Arizona: I haven’t been a big believer in Carolina this season. Well this week, I’m taking them against a very offensively capable Cardinals team. Just watch, though, this pick will come back and bite me in the ass.

Indianapolis (+4) over TENNESSEE: Tennessee looks pretty good, but I don’t really believe in the sustaining talent of drunken hillbilly Kerry Collins at QB. The Titans’ defense is ranked first in the league, but let’s see how they handle another hillbilly by the name of Peyton Manning and his merry band of excellent receivers.

New York Giants (+3) over PITTSBURGH: This is a tough one, but I feel that the Giants’ running game, with its three-headed attack of Jacobs, Ward and Bradshaw, will confuse a very good Steelers run defense and score some big points. The Giants defense is equally as stifling and will keep Big Ben and Co. on their toes all day.
