Vegas Hags Pigskin Picks

It's time for the NFL`s second season and we will finally find out who the Eagles will play by the end of the weekend. Can the Giants and Jets stay hot? Will Vick succumb to the deep freeze at Lambeau? Which Steelers team will show up? Get the predictions to all of the games here...

Indianapolis (plus 6) at New York Jets
The Colts seemed lifeless and the Jets were on fire down the stretch. Tony Dungy has a horrible playoff record, but Chad Pennington has never played in them. It looks like a Jets romp on paper to a lot of folks, but I think the Colts at least cover.
Jets 23 - Colts 20

Atlanta (plus 6½) at Green Bay
The Falcons backed into the playoffs with a loss thanks to some awful play by the Saints. The Pack is unbeaten at Lambeau Field in the playoffs forever! I don't think the Packers are all that good, but I don't think the Falcons are quite ready to take the next step.
Packers 28 - Falcons 17

Cleveland (plus 7½) at Pittsburgh
These two teams always play close games. The Browns will be without QB Tim Couch, but may actually be better with Kelly Holcombe. The Steelers were a preseason Super Bowl pick by many but have played lackluster football for most of the year. 7½ is a lot to lay in this rivalry, but I think the Steelers come to play.
Steelers 27 - Browns 16

New York Giants (plus 3½) at San Francisco
Hmmm...The Giants roared into the playoffs as one of the hottest teams in football. The 49ers coasted in as they sat injured stars and had nothing to play for. Are the Giants spent? Can the 49ers get up for this challenge? I say the Eagles get a rematch with the Giants next week.
Giants 28 â?? 49ers 24

Have a great weekend.
