Week Six Picks


Bengals @ Jets

The Bengals have nothing to play for and have another player suspended player. Jets win.

Raiders @ Saints

The Raiders are coming off their bye week while the Saints are coming off an emotional loss. The Raiders mess will spill on to the field. Saints Win.

Ravens @ Colts

Peyton has a few dings in his armor and it plays directly into the Ravens defense. Ravens win on the road.

Rams @ Washington

The Rams are a mess with less talent than the Raiders. Washington will crush them.

Dolphins @ Texans

This is a tough call. The Texans are coming off a horrible loss and the Dolphins are coming off an upset. This one could go either way but I'll take the Texans to finally win at home.

Bears @ Falcons

This is also a tough call. I'll take the Bears to stop the Falcons running game. Bears win.

Lions @ Vikings

The U-Hauls are already on the road. Vikings win.

Panthers @ Buccaneers

Garcia is back taking the snaps but I like the physical nature of the Panthers. Panthers win.

Packers @ Seahawks

Both teams have seen better days. In the battle of the Green hues Packers win.

Cowboys @ Cardinals

Can the Cardinals beat the Cowboys at their Jiffy Pop Popcorn stadium? The Cardinals are definitely better at home and the Cowboys are coming in with lots of questions in the secondary. The problem is the teams that give the Cowboys are physical teams which the Cardinals are not known for. For this reason I'll take the Cowboys in a barnburner.

Eagles @ 49ers

No Brian Westbrook and a trip across the country. I think the 49ers are underrated. The Eagles need a lot of pass rushing but I'll take the 49ers.

Patriots @ Chargers

The Patriots would be doing the Broncos a huge favor by beating the Chargers on the road and that without Tom Brady. The Chargers are basically playing for their season here at home. The problem I see for the Chargers is that Chris Chambers is out. He's made a huge difference in the passing game since the Dolphins gave him up for a song. Also Merriman's replacement is already out meaning they have third string linebacker. San Diego hasn't been good on defense this year. The big battle will be Cromartie on Moss. I'll take the Patriots in an upset.

Giants @ Browns

If the Browns thought the Cowboys were tough wait until they play the Giants. The Browns were spoiled with Prime Time football games this year. What a waste. Giants stay undefeated.

Jaguars @ Denver Broncos

Winning this game goes a long way to cementing a playoff birth for the Broncos. The Jaguars looked flat against the Steelers defense and they are lucky they are not coming to Denver late in the season. Denver will still be one sided on offense and that side took a few blows in player injuries last week. Luckily Eddie Royal will be playing. I think the Broncos learned a lot from last years game and that physical edge will be not so strong as it was last year. Broncos win in a tight game.

Week Five Picks


Chiefs @ Panthers

The Panthers will be too physical for the Chiefs away from Arrowhead. Another losing streak begins Panthers win.

Chargers @ Dolphins

Amazingly enough the Dolphins have won the last six games against the the Chargers but that ends in this game. Chargers win.

Colts @ Texans

The gap isn't so big between these two teams but after the bye week the Colts should come out on top.

Seahawks @ Giants

Seattle doesn't travel well to the east coast. The Giants stood their ground and suspended Plax. The Giants pass rush should be enough in this game. Giants win.

Falcons @ Packers

If Aaron Rodgers starts I'll take the Packers.

Bears @ Lions

I think I saw the Uhauls at the Lions practice facility. The Lions have already moved on from this season. The Bears will keep their momentum going in their win.

Bills @ Cardinals

I'll take the upset on this one. The Cardinals are favored by 1. Warner may get his yards but the Bills are a more complete team.

Patriots @ 49ers

The Patriots are favored by 3 points. I can see an upset brewing. The Patriots have been gashed in the running game. But Belichick has had an extra week to prepare for this. I'm sure he watched LOTS of videos in the two weeks. I'll take the Patriots in a hard fought game.

Bengals @ Cowboys

If I had known Palmer wasn't playing last week I would have taken the Browns. The Cowboys are going to lose two in a row at home unless Wade wants to get "fired with cause". Cowboys win.

Vikings @ Saints

The underachieving Vikings travel to the Saints who are trying to not underachieve. Peterson should be able to get his yards and control the clock. Brees has been throwing the football great this season and that might be enough to get the win. Saints win.

Titans @ Ravens

Two great defenses in this game but the Titans have more experience. Maybe they'll even throw out Vince Young on a few plays. Titans win.

Redskins @ Eagles

The Redskins must be feeling really good about themselves. Their season might now be complete after beating the Cowboys in Dallas. That said the Eagles get a lot of their weapons back. Eagles win.

Steelers @ Jaguars

The Steelers are already starting to get beat down on offense. The Jags are beat up in the secondary. As long as the Jags keep everything in front of them they should be able to wear down the Steelers. Jags win.

Buccaneers @ Denver Broncos

I've been debating this game all week. One thing is sure: this game will be determined by turnovers. The Bucs having been winning their last few games by getting turnovers but Griese is also throwing many. The Broncos do have the advantage of knowing the key offensive minds for Tampa. Shanahan knows exactly what Griese is capable of and Bill Bates the Broncos QB coach spent three years with Gruden in Tampa. For most of the week I thought the Bucs would force enough turnovers to win but I think now the Broncos at home will rebound and do better securing the ball. Look for the Broncos to pick on Ronde Barber who has been getting beat all year long. I'm happy to say Broncos win.






Well we hurt each other then we do it again
