Wow, did the Saints every get smoked in Indy. The pure domination Indy showed was surprising, and if the first game is any indication, they should be a force all year long.

THE REMAINING GAMESEagles -3.0 @ PackersThe Packers have nothing for a running game, and the Brett Favre has little options to drive the Packers offense. Donovan McNabb is back, and the Eagles should handle the Packers with ease.
Our Pick ResultEagles to cover Packers wonTitans @ Jaguars -7.0With Vince Young at the helm, the Titans could surprise in this one. The Jaguars played well at home last year, look to continue that this week.
Our Pick ResultJaguars to cover Titans won
Patriots -6.5 @ JetsThe Patriots have won 6 in a row in New York against the Jets. With the absence of Rodney Harrison, the Pats will be in tough, on the road, against the Jets. Look for this one to be low scoring, and while we think the Pats should win, the Jets will cover.
Our Pick ResultsJets to cover Jets did not coverSteelers -4.5 @ BrownsWith Big Ben back and healthy, and the Browns looking like the Browns of old, look for the Steelers to dominate the ground game and beat the Browns in Cleveland.
Our Pick ResultSteelers to cover Pittsburgh won and coveredBroncos -3.5 @ BillsThis one really could go either way. Both teams have many new, inexperienced faces, that depending on how they play when the games count for real, will greatly effect the outcome of this game. When the game looks really close, take the team that more often then not wins at home, and the Bills almost always play very well at home.
Our Pick ResultsBills to cover Bills covered
Falcons @ Vikings -3.0The mess that Michael Vick has left behind leaves little reason to go with the Falcons in this one. Joey Harrington does not instill much confidence in the Falcons offense, and the Vikings D was #1 against the run last season, and have most of the key players back. Look for the Vikings to win by a touchdown.
Our Pick ResultsVikings to cover Vikings won and covered
Dolphins @ Redskins -2.5The Redskins were brutal on defense last year, giving up about 355 yards per game. Look for the Redskins to improve on that (I know, not that hard). The Dolphins have been in shambles for a few years now, and all signs point to another mediocre season from the Dolphins.
Our Pick ResultRedskins to cover Redskins won by 3 and covered (note, line changed to -3 by kickoff)Chiefs @ Texans -3.0The Chiefs have a patch work offense, and a patch work defense, which leads to a very long season for the Chiefs. The Texans have a new QB in Matt Schaub, and have what, on paper anyways, looks to be a potent offense, especially against a week Chiefs D.
Our Pick ResultTexans to cover Texans won and coveredPanthers @ Rams -1.0The Rams look to be very good on offense this year, and only being favored by a point looks like a can't miss pick in this one.
Our Pick Result Rams to cover Carolina won
Bears @ Chargers -6.0Coming off a showing in the Super Bowl, it is hard to go against the Bears. Rex Grossman is.. well Rex Grossman, and the Chargers should be able to put some points up at home against a less dominate Bears defense.
Our Pick ResultChargers to cover Chargers won and coveredDetroit @ Oakland -1.5As much as it pains us, going with the Raiders this week appears to be the way to go. The Lions have been brutal for years, and have done little to change that trend this year. The Raiders will be bad, just not as bad.
Our Pick ResultsRaiders to cover Detroit won
Tampa @ Seattle -6.0Seattle should dominate at home in this one. Seattle to cover.
Our Pick ResultSeattle to cover Seattle won and coveredNY GIANTS @ Cowboys -6.0Which T.O. will show up this year? With Romo and T.O. clicking (so far anyways) look for the Cowboys to win, and cover.
Our Pick ResultCowboys to cover Cowboys won and covered
Baltimore @ Bengals -2.5Tough to argue with Baltimores D, especially against the Bengals offense, which looks suspect at best.
Our Pick ResultBaltimore Bengals wonArizona @ S.F. 49ers -3.5The Cardinals look like a team on the rise, and the 49ers are a year or two away from doing any serious damage. Look for the Cardinals to cover.
Our Pick ResultArizona Arizona covered
