1. Atlanta
2. Pittsburgh
3. Arizona
4. New England
5. NY Jets
All right, I don't understand this Atlanta pick today. Why does everyone think they can stay within 4 of NO? First off, NO has victories over TB, GB, Pitt, SF, Washington, and Chicago while Atlanta has victories over only Cincy (ugh!), NYG (suck this year), and Carolina (big deal - Wienke was QB'ing). They also lost to Chicago who NO beat rather easily (same with GB). ALSO, Duckett is not playing so there goes their running game as Dunn absolutely blows this year. Why does NO get no respect?!?! I see NO winning rather easily as Vick will have to try and do everything for Atlanta while Brooks has better receivers and a very potent running attack to aid him. NO's defense will be able to sit back and contain Vick and the passing game since they don't have to worry about any running attack. Also, don't you think NO's defense has heard all week how great Vick is and will be very keyed up to stop that offense? I just don't see why the line is where it's at .
Good line and home field advantage my man.

Home field advantage?
Its a big trend play, Atl has covered the last 17-18 at home with more than 3 pts, also they have "historically" played NO very close. I dont' like this either, trends should never be the main decision in making a pick. Duckett is out, Dunn is not that great, and someone else is out also for Atl but can't for the life of me remember who...
New Orleans, they are at home and only coughing up 4 most places
