So one ass beating and one comfortable win...expectations were moderate, so that's ok. We're going back to some of the same boring teams this week.
Week 7
Baltimore +3 @Miami - Maybe the Ravens played over their heads the first 4 games and showed their true colors last week. I'll take my chances that they're more like the team we saw the first month and layed an egg at the same time the Colts happened to hit their stride. The Fish were a team I defended as early as Week 1 when everyone ripped the Jets for "almost losing to that pathetic team". Clearly they're not bad; but much like the Bears in Atlanta last week they had no business ever having the lead before the last play of the game, as the Texans moved up&down the field all day.
Cleveland +7 @ Washington - Clearly I'm not an "overreact from last week" person, though this might look like it. The Skins to me are the Jags of the nfc in that they're more likely to grind out a methodical win. Also I don't buy the idea of writing off the Giants game to "Monday night homefield emotion" as that's something that helps a defense (which wasn't terrible before Mon. night) much more than the offense (see Dallas-Buffalo or Atl-NO after Katrina), which exploded for a couple ~200 yard drives with penalties. The Skins homefield advantage also seems like garbage, not unlike most new/modern stadiums.
Last Week: 1-1
YTD: 12-6-1
