The Hammer is 17-9 over the past two weeks in the NFL. I dare you to find another handicapper on the web anywhere close to that. I hope you have taken the Hammer’s advice, because if you did you are reading this post from your new vacation home in The Bahamas.
San Francisco (+3) at Atlanta - Hammer’s pick ATLANTA
San Francisco has to be the most disappointing team in the NFL this year. They are just unable to move the ball, and that does not change this week.
Cincinnati at Buffalo (+1) - Hammer’s pick CINCINNATI
This is a match up of mismatches with the Bengal’s passing offense going up against a bad Buffalo secondary. The Bills will not be able to score enough points to keep up.
Seattle (+1½) at Cleveland - Hammer’s pick SEATTLE
Cleveland has been a nice story to follow this year, but they are not a top 15 team yet. Seattle has been disappointing, but they are good enough to handle the Browns.
Denver (+3) at Detroit - Hammer’s pick DENVER
The Denver secondary is going to be able to slow down the Lions passing attack, but the Lions defense will not be able to do the same. I see a 1-2 point game here, so take the points.
Green Bay (+2) at Kansas City - Hammer’s pick GB (Double Play)
I don’t get this line at all. A one loss Packer team going against the Herm Edwards coached Chiefs, and the Packers get the points?
San Diego at Minnesota (+7) - Hammer’s pick SD
The secret weapon for this game will be Chris Chambers. Phillip Rivers now has a legitimate #1 receiver to go alongside Gates.
New England at Indianapolis (+5) - Hammer’s pick NE
The game of the century is going to turn into a blowout in the second half. Brady and Moss will step on the gas in the 3rd quarter to put this one out of reach.
Jacksonville (+3) at New Orleans - Hammer’s pick NO
The Saints are starting to put it together, and the Jags now have the worst passing attack in the NFL. The Saints will score too many points for the Jags to keep up.
Houston (+3) at Oakland - Hammer’s pick HOUSTON
The bigger question is, will anyone even be watching this game as it goes head-to-head with Colts-Pats?
Arizona (+3½) at Tampa Bay - Hammer’s pick TAMPA BAY (Double Play)
The Bucs should win this one easily at home against another disappointing Arizona team. When will the media stop over hyping the Cardinals in season previews? Do they ever learn?
Carolina (+4) at Tennessee - Hammer’s pick TENNESSE
Tennessee remains the most under appreciated team in the NFL. The Titans running attack is going to put up big numbers this week.
Washington at NY Jets (+3½) - Hammer’s pick WASHINGTON (Double Play)
The Redskins are going to want to make a statement after last weeks blowout in New England. Combine that with a really bad Jets team, and this should be an easy Redskins victory.
Dallas at Philadelphia (+3) - Hammer’s pick DALLAS
Demarcus Ware is going to have a big day against a shaky Eagles offense line and an immobile McNabb. Romo will carve up the Philly D on the way to an easy win.
Baltimore (+9½) at Pittsburgh - Hammer’s pick BALTIMORE
The Steelers should win this game, but 9.5 points is just to many to give up against this proud Raven’s defense.
