Yeah, I didn’t forget.  I promised weekly picks on every NFL game.  Well, for the sake of time, (this has been a busy weekend) I’m gonna cut down on the picks just a bit, but I’m still going to include all of the particulars from every NFL game.

Here are the early games, with the exception of the already previewed Chiefs @ Miami.

  Baltimore @ Tennessee

Current Line- Baltimore -7.5

Current Points- 38

Weather- 55 and sunny

Gabs Take- This aint gonna be close.  Steve McNair and Derrick Mason with a homecoming, and Jamal Lewis taking on the Titans defense.  Baltimore is a bit banged up on defense (Ed Reed, Ray Lewis questionable) but I don’t see it mattering much.  The Ravens offense has found their stride. 

Baltimore 27

Tennessee 10

Fantasy Notables:

Steve McNair- 225 yards passing, 2 TD

Jamal Lewis- 140 combo yards, 1 TD

Derrick Mason- 80 yards and 1 TD

Todd Heap- 50 yards and 1 TD

Vince Young- 175 yards passing, 25 yards rushing, 1 rush TD, 2 INT

Travis Henry, LenDale White, Chris Brown- Stay away, stay away, stay away

Titan WR’s- Stear Clear of anyone in this bunch

 

Buffalo @ Indianapolis

Current Line- Colts -13

Current Points- 45

Weather- Dome

Gabs Take- Ok, I’m starting to notice some really bad games tomorrow.  Don’t let the women and children watch this game, it’ll be ugly.  Peyton Manning, against the Bills, at home?  In cyberspace they call that “LOL”.  Colts dominate this game.

Buffalo- 13 (that’s being very nice)

Indianapolis- 38

Fantasy Notables-

Peyton Manning- 300 yards, 3 TD (I mean honestly, what am I supposed to call here?)

Dominic Rhodes- 75 combo yards

Joseph Addai- 100 combo yards, 1 TD

Reggie Wayne- 150 yards, 1 TD

Marvin Harrison- 100 yards, 1 TD

Dallas Clark- 50 yards, 1 TD

Yeah, I know I left a TD out there, give one to the Colts defense tomorrow.

J.P. Losman- Are you kidding?

Anthony Thomas- 70 yards and a garbage TD.  Everyone is jumping A-Trains nuts just a little bit too hard.  All of the sudden a journeyman running back for the Bills is great?  Nah, even McGahee wasn’t putting up great numbers.

Lee Evans- 75 yards

That’s really all I’ve got for the Bills

 

Cleveland @ Atlanta

Current Line- Atlanta -8.5

Current Points- 41.5

Weather- Dome

Gabs Take- I’m not sure why, but I’m feeling an upset special here.  Nah, who am I kidding, I’m taking the Falcons, but not too big.

Cleveland -20

Atlanta- 23

Charlie Frye- 275 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT (I think the Falcons pass D can be had)

Rueben Droughns- 80 total yards (just enough to keep em honest)

Braylon Edwards- 115 yards, 1 TD (big game)

Joe Jurevicious- 80 yards

Soldier (Kellen Winslow Jr.)- 65, 1 TD

Mike Vick- 175 pass, 75 rush, 1 pass TD, 1 rush TD (toss in 1 INT and 1 Fumb as well)

Warrick Dunn- 80 combo yards   Edit, 110 combo yards, still no scores today

Jerious Norwood- 50 combo yards Edit- Norwood is likely OUT today

Michael Jenkins- 50 yards 1 TD

Alge Crumpler- 75 yards, sorry no TD this week

 

Green Bay @ Minnesota

Current Line- Minnesota -5.5

Current Points- 39

Weather- Dome

Gabs Take- This should be a good game.  The Packers are trying to sneak up on the rest of the NFL this year and give Brett Favre a playoff swann song.  I don’t like Favre’s luck in the dome, I’ve seen him have some horrible games there.  Good game, but gotta go with the Vikings.

Green Bay- 21

Minnesota- 24

Fantasy Notables-

Brett Favre- 275 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT (ohhh, those INT’s!)

Ahman Green- 120 combo yards, 1 TD

Troy Williamson- 70 yards, 1 TD

 

Houston @ Jacksonville

Gabs Take- Laugher.  Jacksonville’s defense is too tough for Houston.

Houston- 13

Jacksonville- 27

Fantasy Notables

David Carr- 225 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT

Andre Johnson- 100 yards, 1 TD

David Garrard- 175 pass yards, 40 rush yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

NY Jets @ New England

Current Line- New England -10.5

Current Points- 38

Weather- 42 and partly cloudy

Gabs Take- I definately like the Pats to bounce back this week at home.  The Jets will get some work done via the pass, but not too much on the ground.  Patriots should run at will.

NY Jets- 20

New England- 31

Fantasy Notables-

Chad Pennington- 250 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT

Leon Washington- 60 combo yards

Lavernius Coles- 80 and a TD (if he plays)

Jericho Cotchery- 100 and a TD (not sure why, but I like J-Co to get loose tomorrow.

Corey Dillon- 80 yards, 1 TD

Laurence Maroney- 100 combo yards, 1 TD

Doug Gabriel- 100 and 1 TD (long TD for Gabriel tomorrow)

Ben Watson- 55 and 1 TD

 

San Diego @ Cincinnati

Current Line-San Diego -1

Current Points-48

Weather-49 and mostly sunny

Gabs Take- Now we got a game!  This should be a fun game to watch, I like a lot of points to be scored.  No Merriman for the Chargers, and the Bengals have their backs against the wall.  I like the Chargers thanks to Mr. Tomlinson.

SanDiego- 30

Chris Henry- 50 yards, 1 TD

 

SanFrancisco @ Detroit

Current Line- Detroit -6

Current Points- 46 points

Weather- Dome

Gabs Take- I really like a lot of points in this game, which means the final will probably be 9-6.  Either way, I’m gonna go for lots of offense.  Both backs tear it up tomorrow, as does Kitna and Roy Williams.

Santa Clara- 28

Detroit- 38

Fantasy Notables

Alex Smith- 275 yards, 2 TD

Frank Gore- 175 combo yards, 2 TD
