It's late, and I'm getting tired, so I'll make it quick.

• Miami vs. Buffalo (-6.5): Week 6, and we already have a meaningless match up. The good news is that one team will not be winless after this one is over. Who will that be? Buffalo, but Miami covers.
• San Francisco vs. New York Jets (-10): That 10 point spread thing again. The Jets win, but not by more than 10.
• Seattle vs. New England (-4): I'm torn on this one. I think Seattle has what it takes to win this one, and had they kept it together last week, this would be a match of the unbeatens. Now that Seattle has blown up, I think New England will find a way to exploit that.
• Carolina vs. Philadelphia (-9): I know Carolina only has one win, but I don't think their defense is that bad. I think they'll lose, but not by more than 9.
• Cincinnati vs. Cleveland (-3): Another ho hum game for me. No opinion on this one. Just a pure guess!
• Green Bay vs. Detroit (-2): My homerism is coming out. I don't even know if Roy Williams can go, but the Lions defense looks pretty solid, and with Dre Bly coming back, they'll only get better.
• Washington (-1.5) vs. Chicago: The Redskins are desperate. The Bears are a good team to get your confidence back against.
• Houston vs. Tennessee (-7): Tennessee showed me Monday that they are still a force to be reckoned with. Houston is up and down, but they aren't at the level that Tennessee is at. This is a match up of the past versus present, as Tennessee used to be Houston. It's always struck me as odd when a team moves away from a city, and the next chance at expansion puts a team back in the same place a team was before. To me, it's a recipe for disaster. It was pretty obvious (since most moves are financially based) that the area couldn't support the team. Why will they support a new team, that isn't going to be very good for a while. The newness of the Oil..er...Texans will wear off. Of course, it is the NFL, and if any professional sport can make it happen, it's the NFL.
• San Diego vs. Atlanta (-6): Maybe I'm just dumb, but I think San Diego will win this one outright. Drew Brees is playing very well, and until the Falcons players realize that just having Vick isn't enough, and they actually have to play, Atlanta will struggle.
• Kansas City (-2) vs. Jacksonville: One win and Kansas City is back? The KC defense can make Leftwich look like Montana. And Jacksonville has a stifling defense.
• Pittsburgh vs. Dallas (-3): Like I said last week, I'm on board with the Steelers. I'll take them to win against Dallas this week. Raise your hand if you think Testeverde can make it all year long. If you have your hand up, I'm laughing at you!
• Denver (-2) vs. Oakland: No comment here, but Denver should win this, and cover.
• Minnesota (-3.5) vs. New Orleans: Minnesota's offense is unstoppable. Their defense is full of holse, but their offense is great. New Orleans doesn't have the offense to scare Minnesota, nor the defense to stop them.
• Tampa Bay vs. St. Louis (-6.5): St. Louis is reinvigorated from their comeback victory over Seattle, and should continue that trend - no letdown this week. Tampa Bay shouldn't even be allowed on MNF. Of course, by saying that, Tampa Bay will probably win.

In other news, it looks like the NFL has relented on fining Plummer, and in exchange for him removing the decal, he'll tape public-service announcements that will be played in stadiums after Veterans day. Also, the Broncos will be adding the number 40 (Tillman's number) in the stadium near the scoreboard. Also, the NFL donated a quarter of a million dollars to build the first USO facility in Afganistan, and have it named after Tillman.

I think that's a good compromise. I understand the NFL's need to control what is put on the field to protect their image, but at least they were flexible in this case, given the unusual nature of the issue.
