Hmmm, 9-5 last week, 52-20 overall. Compare that to the tops at sportingnews.com (50-22) and maybe I’ll start using these picks for all my betting needs.
Here we go again:
Packers 13 at Lions 19 (The Pack can’t seem to win at home this year, now you want to put them in a dome?)
Bills 13 at Dolphins 6 (Two tough defenses battle it out. Give it to the one with the better offense. I might change this depending on the injury status of Zach and Thurman Thomas [no relation].)
Saints 20 at Bears 24 (I think I figured it out!! The Saints have such a high rated defense because their special teams keep letting the opponent start 50 yards from the goaline.)
Steelers 16 at Jets 23 (The Steelers finally get things going, in spite of Plaxico Burress. If they weren’t playing the gritty J-E-T-S, I’d pick them to win.)
Titans 30 at Benagals 6 (Look! The Begals have the lead! No, really, LOOK! Ohhh, too late, it’s gone.)
Colts 31 at Ptriots 17 (What? The Patriots won? Well, I guess to reach my original projection of 4-12 it had to happen sooner or later.)
Redskins 17 at Eagles 24 (Stat o’ the Week - of the three teams tied for first in the division (Iggles, 'Skins, Giants), the Eagles have scored 33 more points and allowed 12 less than either of the others.)
Giants 24 at Falcons 13 (I swear someone was spouting off a couple of weeks ago about the Falcon defense coming around – 159 points allowed, tied for worst in the league. 
)
Broncos 23 at Chargers 12 (Holy cow! The Chargers scored 31 points! They gave up 57 though. I think the Broncos will give a little more effort than the Rams Ole’ defense. Note to Ryan Leaf: Start sucking up to Denny Green [see below].)
Raiders 30 at 49ers 24 (Well, stuffinb I’ll give them another win on the year, but not this one. They still look like they’re a couple of blocks away from “turning the corner” - they’re the one’s tied with the Falcons [see above].)
Seahawks 17 Panthers 23 (At first I thought this was going to be a tough one to pick, then I saw that Holmgren has benched Kitna in favor of Huard.)
Browns 17 at Cardinals 20 (Hey, Jake - just toss it up to the tall, fast guy – yeah him, David Boston. That’s how they do it in Minnesota anyway.)
Ravens 24 at Jaguars 16 (Let’s see. Suspect offensive line. Aggressive, attacking defense. Injury prone QB and RB. Fred Taylor would be wise to just start sitting out games now and forego the pain of an actual injury.)
Bucaneers 16 at Vikings 24 (Apparently any QB who can get the ball within 15 yards of Randy Moss can succeed in this offense. Until he gives me reason otherwise, from now on I’m just going to refer to Keyshawn as “the rich decoy.”)
Rams 108 at BYE 24 (Yep, even without an opponent they give up 24 points. Whoever came up with that “defense wins championships” line might want to double check their arithmetic, though. Rams Defensive Philosphy = “Oh, just let 'em score. I want to see what Warner will do next.”)
Well according to America’s Line (apparently betting can be patriotic), I’ve picked 4 upsets. I see a four game parlay in my future!
As always, you comments are welcomed.
Or if they are lucky perhaps the Wizards. I suppose this means I will probably have to watch a non-gymnastics, non-diving, or non-figure-skating televised sports competition now. I hope the Redsox win.
