You can check out Newsday handicapper Ed McNamara for his gridiron guide that goes against the spread, but we'll give you a look at our picks - straight up, no spreads - for the Beat Bob Glauber contest. Even though the season is in full swing, you can still sign up and win the weekly $50 gift card to Best Buy.
Here goes:
Jets over Bills: Buffalo's injury problems are just absurd. Jets will have to try hard to lose.
Eagles over Giants: Donovan McNabb has to be frothing at the idea of facing the Giants' secondary.
Ravens over Browns: Divisional rivalries always seem to produce some odd twist, but the Ravens are clearly the better team. Then again, it's never easy in the Dawg Pound.
Cowboys over Rams: Isaac Bruce has guaranteed a Rams win. Don't think so.
Bears over Lions: Brian Griese to the rescue. But Chicago's defense will have its work cut out against Mike Martz's Lions' offense.
Dolphins over Raiders: Joey Porter guarantees Miami will win. Agreed.
Packers over Vikings: Brett has often struggled in Metrodome, but we like him to keep things going. We also like the Pack's defense against a mediocre Vikes' offense.
Buccaneers over Panthers: I don't think Jake Delhomme plays, and it's a huge dropoff to David Carr.
49ers over Seahawks. Holmgren always struggles when he goes back home to Frisco.
Steelers over Cardinals. Pittsburgh is the best AFC team this side of Indy and New England.
Falcons over Texans. Matt Schaub returns to Atlanta, but we like the home team in this one. Texans' offense very banged up.
Colts over Broncos. At the dome, give me Peyton every time.
Chargers over Chiefs. Could be ugly for Herm.
Patriots over Bengals. No Rudi Johnson for Cincy. No defense, either.

Everyone's picking the Eagles. It will be good to win 2 weeks in a row as underdogs... keep it coming. :)
"Pittsburgh is the best AFC team this side of Indy and New England." - I thought this was Bob Glaubers Blog???
Now we just have to get you to realize it also makes them the third best NFL team as well, forget the CowGirls.
Bob:
So much for your Jets pick. Take notice, the Trent Edwards era has begun!
Wow... What a weekend for football. Stunning. I think I need to find a new sport to watch. Bob, what do you know about curling?
Nice picks bob. Dont quit your real job
Hi Bob remember your pre season picks? Ravens at 4 Jets at 5 Giants at 15 and Jags at 22. Just checking.
Tom:
Don't worry. If I knew what I was doing with NFL picks - I mean, REALLY knew what I was doing - I'd be sipping cocktails in Bermuda right now. (Sorry for repeat line, NKR. Couldn't resist.)
Rush:
I'm glad you're keeping track of my preseason picks. What else do you do that indicates you have far too much time on your hands? (ok, that's a joke, Rush. I'm KIDDING!)
Bob,
Wow. Those picks are worse than mine. The seventeen year old at the local Montclair Starbucks picked twice as many games correctly this week than you did.
