NFL Week 6 Plays

Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5
The Steelers stock in the hypothetical NFL market world is rising. They have a 10th ranked passing offense and a running game that is starting to improve (finally). With Mendenhall back in the lineup the Steelers should have no problem putting up points against a struggling Titans team. It's not that the Steelers have been an unstoppable force, its that the Titans have been on a steady decline. In the past 2 games they have only put up 21 points and have been forced to turn to Hasselbeck after Locker's injury against the Patriots. And let's not get started on the play of CJ.

New England Patriots -4 POW
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said that no one is even close to the tempo of the Patriots offense. And with good reason. The Patriots have had the most offensive plays from scrimmage and have a 9th ranked arial attack behind Brady. Probably the biggest surprise is the Patriots running game that is 3rd in the league, yes I said third! Normally in the past it has been Brady 24/7 but with young running backs Bolden and Ridley, the Patriots offense now has the ability to put up huge yards on the ground. I just can't see the Seahawks covering the spread, pick Pats.  

Baltimore Ravens -4
Heading back home after a disappointing win against the Chiefs last week (that's weird to say), look for the Ravens to take advantage of the home atmosphere and an ugly Cowboys offense. Baltimore is always a tough place to play and the drama that is revolving around the Cowboys and Romo makes it that much more difficult. The Ravens have won 3 straight while the Cowboys are 2-2. Much like the Patriots matchup, I dont see their opponents covering the spread, take Ray Lew and the Ravens.
