Denver Broncos @ Arizona Cardinals

Pick: Arizona -3 (-110)

Rating: 3* (risking 3.3* to win 3*)

Analysis: Denver has a hard time winning outside of the Mile High city. Their last win outside Denver was a week 1 win @ lowly Buffalo last season. They squeezed out a 15-14 win. Kurt Warner was named Arizona's week 1 starter, so look for Leinart and Brian St. Pierre to compete for # 2. Arizona has a lot of offensive weapons and Warner sure knows how to make the most of it.

Oakland Raiders @ Seattle Seahawks

Pick: Oakland +3

Rating: 3* (risking 3.3* to win 3*

Analysis: Seattle played a very intense game with San Diego on Monday night. With only 3 days of rest for the SeaChickens, I can see the Raiders having a chance to win the game outright. The Silver and Black need to make some sort of progress with Jamarcus Russell. He should not have to play from behind today, which is a killer for inexperienced QBs.

Good heads up! The site that I use for injury/roster updates had him listed and it is usually reliable! I will stand with my pick only because Seattle is just as banged up as Oakland.

Thank you Ron, that is why I post to get feedback and learn from others!
