Seattle (-9) over San Francsico: For the 49ers, the LEAST of their problems is Alex Smith’s shoulder injury. Expect Seattle to bring rain of torrential proportions over San Francisco.

NY Jets (-2.5) over New England: Face it, Pat fans, Tom Brady is out, OK? The Jets boast the golden arm of Bret Favre, and that is bound to make some magic. So you can bet that New England will finally be able to drop its first game of the regular season in a long time.

Pittsburgh (-5.5) over Cleveland: Last week I claimed the total destruction of Cleveland by Dallas. The Steelers will definitely be able to give the same results with no doubt.

NY Giants (-8.5) over St. Louis: Leonard Little could be out, which means the Giants have an even bigger reason to crush the Rams. Bottom line: the Giants have it going well for them, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.
