***VIKINGS -3.5 (We have a football team, the vikings, moving in the right direction and I really like what I see from them. They're coming off a bye week and I love what I've heard coming from Zimmer about how this team prides themselves in the preparation process. AP seems to be taking on a different type of leadership role that goes beyond his play on the field. I believe he has been humbled, taken ownership of his mistake and has moved forward in an extremely positive way. The defense is no slouch either. I like this squad to outperform expectations big time by the end of this season. As for the Chiefs. They are not that good of a football team, IMO, and with Charles out that certainly doesn't help things. I didnt think they were that good with Charles, but w/out him it feels like trouble. A little shocked the line is so low because to me this one feels like a blowout.) WINNER
**ARIZONA -3 (I'm going to gamble that "Big Ben" will not make his return this Sunday. Back to back roadies for the cards, but I don't see this as a problem. Mike Vick is good for a couple picks and most likely one going back for six. Cards are legit, IMO. The Steelers get the short week and better have a +3 TO diff if they want to even remotely be in this game.) LOSER
*DOLPHINS +2 (I can't believe they are as bad as they've looked. Bye week, new level of accountability with interim coach and they get to face a rookie QB. I'll give them a shot to show up today.) WINNER
*GB/SD OVER 50 (LOSER)
