OK…let me give this one a shot:
GB -2 (2 units)
They can stop the run (see last week against the best RB in the NFL) and Minn. cant pass. Enough said.
Falcons/Texans Under (one unit)
No Vick. No Andre Johnson. No Ahman Green. No Touchdowns.
Baltimore -4 (one Unit
The Clowns wont complete five passes against this D. Baltimore has been managing games very well and should cover this one easily.
Pitt -5.5
They look unstoppable and Mr. USC looks, well, terrible.

The great thing for me is that in real life (actually real money involved instead of bragging rights), I backed off the Steelers and Bears and parlayed the Packers with the Cowboys to stop the bleeding from Saturday.
