I fell off a little bit last week due to some stupid picks. This week, for the first time this season, I didn't have many tough choices. Granted, I picked mostly favorites here, but this time they're favorites for a good reason.
KANSAS CITY @ BUFFALO : BUFFALO
*sigh* I'll give them another shot. They played really well against New England in New England and I don't think KC is as good as the Pats, plus it's a home game for the Bills. Don't go looking for a blowout, this will be another patented Buffalo cliffhanger, but I think they can pull it off.
SAN FRANCISCO @ CHICAGO : CHICAGO
Why did I pick against Chicago last week? Don't underestimate this team. They might not be putting up big numbers with star players but they keep getting it done, and that's all that really matters.
BALTIMORE @ JACKSONVILLE : JACKSONVILLE
The Ravens contunue to struggle, the Jags continue to roll at home this week.
ARIZONA @ DETROIT : DETROIT
You know, I'd almost pick Arizona here if the game weren't in Detroit. I think that gives the Lions the edge in this battle of the bottom feeders.
HOUSTON @ INDIANAPOLIS : INDIANAPOLIS
A lot of people would like to see an upset here, but let's be realistic.
NEW ENGLAND @ MIAMI : NEW ENGLAND
They lost last week, they'll win this week. That's the way it's gonna go with this team this year.
MINNESOTA @ NEW YORK (NYG) : NEW YORK (NYG)
Could a Manning vs. Manning Super Bowl be on the horizon? It's very possible, and will be a step closer to becoming a reality after the Giants pummel the Vikings this week in the Meadowlands.
NEW YORK (NYJ) @ CAROLINA : CAROLINA
The Jets are another team overdue for a win, but they won't get it against a tough Carolina team playing in front of the home crowd.
DENVER @ OAKLAND : DENVER
Denver will continue to dominate the AFC West this week against their division rivals in Oakland. As long as they can keep playing all 4 quarters that is...
ST. LOUIS @ SEATTLE : SEATTLE
Speaking of divisional domination, the surprising Seahawks are a sure bet to spank the clueless Rams and continue their reign over the pathetic NFC West.
GREEN BAY @ ATLANTA : ATLANTA
This is just not Green Bay's year. As much as I'd love to see Green Bay pull off a win here, and as much as they're due for one, the schedule just keeps dishing up tough teams for them to play. I'd be tempted to pick the pack if the game was in Lambeau, but it's not.
WASHINGTON @ TAMPA BAY : TAMPA BAY
This is my upset pick for the week. Washington's win over Philly was big, but not all that convincing. I can't see Tampa losing 3 in a row this season. If they do, you can go ahead and dismiss and Super Bowl talk you've heard about the Bucs.
CLEVELAND @ PITTSBURGH : PITTSBURGH
Pittsburgh continues to win no matter who's at QB. It's obvious that they're not as strong without Roethlisberger, but it won't matter much against a Browns team that hasn't done much of anything this year.
DALLAS @ PHILADELPHIA : PHILADELPHIA
I don't make this pick lightly, but I think with Terrel Owens finally out of the picture the Eagles can get back to focusing on football. When they do that, they're dangerous. You can't discount the Cowboy's passing attack, but you also can't discount home field advantage. And this week, home field is what it's about all around the league.
