billy rubin: I really wish I could go back in time and pick the Chargers on Thursday night - that was a money pick for sure. Alas, the flux capacitor is on the fritz, so I'll just make three picks for today's games.
N.O. +2 @ BAL: The Ravens are more bark than bite on defense this year and their offense has been far from consistent. The Saints shouldn't be hampered in the passing game, although I would expect a slightly depressed rushing attack. If the Ravens are going to make this one interesting it'll be because of Ray Rice and Todd Heap.
HOU +1.5 @ TEN: The Titans can't stop anyone. Houston put up a lot of yards against a much better, but still not elite, Ravens D last week, so this should be a good day for the Houston offense. On the other side of the ball, Houston's D isn't any good either and the Titans may finally be figuring out how to move the ball. Nonetheless, I like Houston in this game.
MIA -5.5 vs. BUF: The Dolphins offense is a mess, no doubt about that, but the Bills defense is pretty anemic against the run. Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams should be able to handle this one on their own, and Miami's D is playing pretty well lately, so they should be able to keep the Bills in check.
