Comments:
What do you suppose the O/U for Patriots points + Colts points scored this week is—80? 90?
The Jets really need to win this week, or things are going to get real ugly for Rex Ryan.
If APR is anywhere near right... Cardinals should at least make a game of it against the Giants. I just hope it's not another east coast blow-out like the ones they had last year (@ Jets, @ Patrtiots, @ Eagles).
I would be more confident the in Steelers winning if they had put more of a beat-down on the Browns last week.
Bears @ Bengals is a push. The Bears probably need the win more (they are already 2½ games behind the Vikings), but that's probably not going to be enough.
