The first bye week of the NFL season cuts the weekend schedule down to 13 games. We pick the most enticing betting lines.
Eagles (-3) @ Bills: Philadelphia are due a bounce back from their 1-3 start while the jury is still out on the Bills. The Eagles also know that a loss puts their post season hopes in serious jeopardy and that motivtion should be enough to spark a timely win. Pick: Eagles
Raiders (+5.5) @ Texans: Don't be fooled by last weekend's results for these two teams. Oakland have been impressive this year and just came up against a Patriots team that proved a match-up nightmare. Houston, meanwhile, stuttered to a win over depleted Pittsburgh. Plus, the Texans have no Andre Johnson. Pick: Raiders
Chargers (-3.5) @ Broncos: The free-scoring San Diego offense is always tough to pick against. Phillip Rivers is due a big passing day and Denver have done little thus far to suggest they can compete on the same level as the Chargers. Hard to believe San Diego won't win by at least a touchdown. Pick: Chargers
Packers (-5.5) @ Falcons: Not the easiest game to call because you fear for Atlanta unleashing their fury after last year's playoff loss. But Green Bay just has so many weapons that you can't go wrong picking the champs to cover in this one, especially with Aaron Rodgers out to stuff Brett Favre's words down his throat. Pick: Packers
