<p>Another horrible week last week of 4-10-2, brining the overall record to 36-45-8, but I'm just <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/071019">2 games behind the Sports Guy</a>, and <a href="http://www.wagerline.com/sportscontests/profile.aspx?user=43052&amp;sportID=1&amp;type=4">2 games ahead of Lombardi</a>, so I'll have to hang in there. </p> <p><strong>WASHINGTON -9 over Arizona</strong></p> <p>I'm expecting Tim Rattay to struggle on the road</p> <p><strong>NEW ORLEANS -9 over Atlanta</strong></p> <p>Leftwich is really the wild card here. I don't think their line can block for him, so I'll go with the Saints.</p> <p><strong>Baltimore -3 over BUFFALO</strong></p> <p>Hopefully Boller can get it done for one more week going into the bye</p> <p><strong>New England -16 over MIAMI</strong></p> <p>The talk of the Patriots going undefeated is starting to heat up, but what about another possibility, that they go 16-0 against the spread? Has anyone ever done that? Do they keep stats for that?
