Here we go.
Indianapolis at Houston: With Andre Johnson, this was clearly the game of the week. To see how our corners adapt against a great WR, it would've been an interesting test. Plus having the two top WR's in the same game. With that said, no Andre Johnson, no chance.
Winner: Indianapolis
Buffalo at New England: 16.5 favorites. That is absolutely huge. Some people would see this, and have an alert come up in their head that somethings not right. But not me. When you have a great team playing a horrible one its bound to happen (although I do expect Buffalo to cover)
Winner: New England
Miami at New York Jets: Kind of a tough game, because there are little things about both teams I like, and big things about both teams I hate (including the Jets bane, McClarens). But as our boy Theill always says "When you have to equal teams always pick the AFC one, and if that doesn't help always pick the home team" (alright thats not a direct quote, but you get the idea)
Winner: New York Jets
Detroit at Philadelphia: Why in the world is Philly favored in this game. I just don't understand it at all. Its plain stupidity, because Philly has looked absolutely HORRENDOUS. So yeah, I am not all behind Detroit, but they look promising, and with them being underdog is just going to fire them up, because it is just rediculous
Winner: Detroit Lions
San Francisco at Pittsburgh: There are many reasons for this pick. 1) Pitt is in the AFC 2) Pitt is home 3) Pitt has actually looked good in their wins... You get the idea. This seems like the easiest 2-0 vs 2-0 game I have ever seen.
Winner: Pittsburgh Steelers
St. Louis at Tampa Bay: Ok, I am not too sure why the media has suddenly fallen in love with Tampa Bay, but they have. Neither of these two teams impress me, but Steven Jackson has to do something at some point (although he is on Sam's Fantasy team, and that is practically a curse) so why not this week.
Winner: St.Louis Rams
San Diego at Greenbay: Alot of people are expect LT to go off for 200 yards this game. I don't. Alot of people expect Favre to solidy his legacy with the record being entirely his. I don't. What I do expect is San Diego to edge out GB in a very ugly game. That is what I do expect (oh, and Philip Rivers to throw more interceptions then TD's, again)
Winner: San Diego Chargers
Arizona at Baltimore: And now its time to throw all reason in the wind. With the big victory over Seattle last week, they have in my mind the inside track to win the division. Plus McNair is back for Baltimore, so the Boller love is over. And hey, why not just go out on a limb, cause I know Thiell will pick a stupid game also.
Winner: Arizona Cardinals
Minnesota at Kansas City: Continuing looking at favorites... How is Kansas City EVER a favorite? I mean, honsetly. They are going against the best run defence in the nation, and what does that mean... Tough game for LJ, and what does that mean... An absolute slaugher. Who picks these Vegas odds, thats what I want to know.
Winner: Minnesota Vikings
Cleveland at Oakland: First of all, congrats to Cleveland. They must've read my column, and were so angry that they just had to prove me wrong. So Derek Anderson went off against an absolute atrocious D. But Oakland is not Cincy, and I expect Josh McNown to play real well. I think Oakland edges out... barely.
Winner: Oakland Raiders
Cincinatti at Seattle: I am very happy to see Shaun Alexander going against Cincy, cause I really need some fantasy points. But I actually do expect Cincinatti to outgun Seattle, because quite frankly, Seattle hasn't impressed me either, and they don't have talented enough WR's to do a Cleveland. But the main reason, cause Cincy is in the AFC.
Winner: Cincinatti Bengals
Jacsonville at Denver: I briefly wanted to pick an upset here, just to do it. But then I remember that I hate Jacksonvilles roster. Denver has looked pretty horrible, but they should get a win at home, before next weeks huge game against Indy. Now thats a big game.
Winner: Denver Broncos
Carolina at Atlanta: Well, I don't really know who is starting this game, whether it be Harrington and Leftwhich, so I have no real excuse just to throw all my marbles behind Atlanta. So yeah, no definite on Harrington means no pick.
Winner: Carolina Panthers
New York Giants at Washington: I've been expecting Eli to completely break out, but did you see that interception last week. Its was definitely ugly, no doubt about that. Basically, I am picking Washington because Jason Campbell will go off against such a horrible pass D, and the secondary should shut down the Giants.
Winner: Washington Redskins
Dallas at Chicago: Man, it seems every week I pick Dallas, despite the fact that I hate them. The thing is, they can really score points, and I expect them to continue that theme against a less than impressive Chicago team. Plus I expect not-so-sexy Rexy to make at least one critical interception, and Benson to make one critical fumble. You can't win games making turnovers like that.
Winner: Dallas Cowboys
Tennessee at New Orleans: The Saints are just plain bad, and part of it is that the hype of Reggie Bush is coming back at them. He has been literally ineffective. The world isn't behind them anymore (in sports you only get one year of sympathy support) and I don't think the home crowd can save them. Plus, unlike Thiell, I know that Defence wins games, and New Orleans doesn't have one.
Winner: Tennessee Titans
