Couple plays:
Browns +1 @ Cincinnati- I have to fade Haven here, because imo if the Bengals are due for anything it's another loss. Cincinnati has a team that is merely a shell of what it was a year ago. Last seasons over achieving, rag tag bunch of convicted criminals are once again the Bungholes
, and it shouldn't be all that surprising when we consider they had to swim up stream playing a first place schedule. Palmer is nothing but a joke at this point, and realistically he has to be replaced. The Browns offensive line should be able to handle the injury depleted Bunghole rushing defense, and give Colt Mac-Toy some favorable opportunities to throw. The weather should prolly be a little nasty, and the home crowd should present somewhat of a noise problem. The Brownies have won enough games to impress me, and this weeks challenge is one I expect them to be ready to meet. Cleveland has a chance to take another step toward moving past the Ravens in the AFC North pecking order with a win on the road vs. a division opponent.
It's almost certainly a mistake to call this next game with out knowing the outcomes of the NO@Balt, and KC@Stl.
Seahawks +7 vs. Atlanta- Yes! My favorite; the big home underdog. This game has letdown potential written on it to me. Atlanta is off b2b divisional road wins, and now is laying thick chalk to another home team, n' Seattle ain't exactly just a bus ride away. I'm not suggesting that the Falcons are overlooking this game, however I find it hard to imagine that this week means as much to them as the week 16 Monday night showdown vs. the Saints. For the 'Hawks, this game means almost everything. Seattle has one of the best home field advantages in the league, and has to be able to win vs. a tough opponent here if they want to respectably represent the NFC West in the playoffs.
Somebody at least be 8-8.

Terrible call on Seattle. Home field is important, but not more important than a quarterback. Where was my football IQ?
