LOCK: Philadelphia (-14.0) over OAKLAND
In a tough slate of Week 6 games, this one is a sure thing. The Eagles have handily beaten every bad team that they’ve faced this year, and their only loss on the year was to the powerful Saints. Philly will continue to roll against a Raiders team in shambles.
ATLANTA (-3.5) over Chicago
When Atlanta’s offense is firing on all cylinders, it’s so difficult to compete against. But Chicago’s defense is better than average, and I’m not sure if Atlanta’s defense can contain Jay Cutler and Matt Forte. I think I’m gonna regret this one.
NEW ENGLAND (-9.5) over Tennessee
The Titans rank 31st in the NFL in pass defense, and Tom Brady should be angry enough about the loss to the Broncos last week that he will throw all over the Titans to drop them to 0-6. The Patriots need to reestablish their dominance, and this game might finally see Kerry Collins getting benched for Vince Young. I’m worried about the Titans having a rare good day, but even then, New England should handle them.
Denver (+3.0) over SAN DIEGO
The Broncos can’t remain unbeaten forever, but if their offense is working properly, they will score enough to out-gun the Chargers. Denver will allow more points than they’re used to from the passing attack of Philip Rivers, but I think Denver’s offense is on a roll, and that it will continue on Monday night.
