Pigskin Picks!

  • Picks! Last week I went 8-5-1 in the NFL. Here we go for this week. (In edit throughout gameday... Finished 6-8 for the week. BLECH!)
  • Arizona +7.5:  Not a big believer in the Falcons.  Not that I'm a big believer in Arizona, but too many points this week. Final: Atlanta 32-10. Falcons dominated. Loser!
  • Tennessee + 9.5:  I think the Titans will get better as the season goes along, and this is too big of a spread.   Cowboys are fairly mediocre or maybe slightly better, but I don't like that spread on the road. Final: Dallas 45-14. Maybe the Cowboys used this as locker room material! Loser!
  • NY Jets +8:  Another big spread.  The Colts can put up some points, but I think the Jets can, too. Final: Colts 31-28. Great game. Winner!
  • Miami -3.5:  I've lost every week with the Dolphins.  Culpepper isn't making the reads but Ronnie Brown could run wild.  Carr might get some strikes against the Dolphin backs, but not enough. Final: Houston 17-15. Battle of mediocre teams. Loser!
  • Minnesota +1:  The game is at Buffalo, but I really like the Vikes. Final: Buffalo 17-12. Loser!
  • New Orleans +7:  Ain't nobody respecting the Saints.  Should be a high-scoring game with Steve Smith back with the Panthers. Final: Carolina 21-18. Winner!
  • Baltimore +2:  Home against the Chargers, and Tomlinson could run wild.  But I think the Ravens can control the ball and put up points to win. Final: Baltimore 16-13. Great comeback. Winner!
  • San Francisco +7:  On the road in KC with a big spread.  I think the 49ers will get better as the season goes along, and the Chiefs have issues. Final: Chiefs 41-0. No point spread big enough for 49ers. Awful. Loser!
  • Detroit +5.5:  In St. Louis, but the Rams don't have a high-flying offense anymore.  Could be a tight game. Final: Rams 41-34. Loser!
  • Cleveland -2.5:  Oakland sucks.  They're on the 2007 draft clock.  Cleveland is improving. Final: Browns 24-21. Winner!
  • Washington +3:  Redskins at home with Portis back over the tough Jaguars.  I think this one could come down to a field goal. Final: Redskins 36-30. Game of the week. Winner!
  • Patriots +6:  On the road in Cinci and this one might be a shoot-out.  The Patriots are underestimated with dual-running backs and Gabriel as the new #1 WR. Final: Patriots 38-13. Winner!
  • Seattle +3.5:  Chicago finaly struggles and Seahawks show a big passing game. Final: da Bears 37-6. They're for real. Loser!
  • Green Bay +11:  Too big of a point spread in Philadelphia. Final: Philly 31-9. Smoked! Loser!
