NFL Week 6

Detroit Lions -3 (Even) **2 Units
Nope. Sorry, I don't buy it. Not the Browns, especially against the Lions. The Lions have emerged as an explosive offensive team thanks to the addition of Reggie Bush. Not because of his running game, but because he's huge a weapon out of the backfield for Stafford. He's an easy target out on the flanks who has the ability to open up a defence. Weeden is back under center as Hoyer is officially out. Unfortunate injury, but their cinderella story is over.

Green Bay Packers -3 (-105) ** 2 Units
Known as a prolific passing offense (fourth in the NFL), the Packers now have a running game to back it up (fifth in the NFL). For the Ravens, Flacco still does not impress me as a, self-proclaimed, elite quarterback. Eight interceptions and only five touchdowns.... moving on. Their defence is their backbone but even they have been average this year. It's the same strong Packers offence against the not so typical Ravens defence... Let's go cheese heads.

Cincinnati Bengals -7 (Even) 
The Bengals are coming off a wacky win over the Patriots, but maybe that's what they needed. The skill and coaching staff is there, but they just haven't been clicking. I believe that they needed an ugly win over a team like the Patriots to get them moving forward. The biggest mismatch here is the Bengals D versus the Bills offensive line. If they can rattle Brady enough to get him off his game, the Bills are in for a long day. Their pass rush is tenacious and the Bills will not stop it.

Indianapolis Colts -1 (Even)
Ummm. The Colts just knocked off the NFC's best, Seattle Seahawks, and the spread is only -1. What? The Colts have won three in a row, including victories over the Hawks and the 49ers. They are hitting their stride and the Chargers are in the wrong place at the wrong time this week. The Chargers defence is 27th against the pass and 24th against the run... again...WHAT!? Please take the Colts.
