Atlanta Falcons (4-2)
This a game of injuries as the Atlanta Falcons’ banged up defensive line finally adjusts itself and looks to stack-up a surging Curtis Martin and the Jets are looking for, well, something. Seriously, this is one of the most boring Monday match-ups ever, regardless of how exciting Michael Vick is. Atlanta’s a horrible place to watch a football game on television as you’re stuck waiting for Michael Vick to do somethig spectacular between the echoing noise.(We’re convinced they just made the stadium as acoustically tricky as possible because of the low fanbase numbers for so long. Now that it’s packed, well, it’s like a wind-tunnel in there.)If he doesn’t, well, you have Warrick Dunn dancing around going nowhere and Alge Crumpler running 7-yard-out patterns and running over defensive backs. Fun. And the Jets are just as bad. Sure Martin’s little flurry last weekend was mildly amusing, but seriously, the man’s got not much left in the tank and is not going to put up these numbers every weekend. But, bad d-line versus surging running back seems to be a nice match-up for anybody, but we still don’t think Martin will be much of a factor—especially with Jets’center Kevin Mawae out for the season. However, we do like the Jets with points on Monday nights. We’ll take that generous 9 and pray for a low-scoring game.
PICK!: NYJ +9
