1. I move that last week be stricken from the record.
Atlanta @ New Orleans (San Antonio)
No one is allowed to mention that I picked NO over GB last week.
Carolina @ Detroit
Charles Rogers is on drugs. Now we need to find out what Joey Harrington is on.
Cincinnati @ Tennessee
Cincy got smacked down back to reality last week as I predicted. Now it's time for them to get back down to business as they are a good playoff team.
Cleveland @ Baltimore
The Browns Bowl. I should just refrain from making a pick here to help improve my percentages.
Jacksonville @ Pittsburgh
I don't care who the QB is. PIT could run it on every down and still beat JAX.
Miami @ Tampa Bay
These teams are surprisingly similar.
Minnesota @ Chicago
Two teams that are great to pick against this season are playing each other.
NY Giants @ Dallas
Dallas' win over Philly last week convinced me.
Washington @ Kansas City
Roaf is back, and the Chiefs will run wild.
New England @ Denver
I am just going to continue to pick against NE because I friggin hate them.
NY Jets @ Buffalo
Look for low-scoring and boring
San Diego @ Oakland
Opposite of NYG vs BUF - will be most entertaining game of the week.
Houston @ Seattle
Dom-ass Capers is a crappy coach who won't be able to stop his team from sliding further down into the toilet.
St. Louis @ Indianapolis
Upset special. STL will be helped by worst-NFL-coach Martz not coaching. IND has been looking unimpressive against most of the sorry teams on their sched this year. Last week vs SF they were weak. Their D will not be able to clamp down on STL like the have been doing to other teams all year.

Many of today's games could have gone either way.

3. I'll try to answer all of them this week. oops.
Atlanta @ New Orleans (San Antonio)
Home, away, does it really matter? This Saints team is lost.

Carolina @ Detroit
Joey has a hard time winning with ALL his wide receivers. Now they're all hurt.

Cincinnati @ Tennessee
They won't lose two in a row.

Cleveland @ Baltimore
Cleveland sucks more.

Jacksonville @ Pittsburgh
This may change in Big Ben's leg is really messed up.

Miami @ Tampa Bay
Tampa at home takes this one.

Minnesota @ Chicago
I pick the Vikings because I'm a fan, not becasue they'll win.

NY Giants @ Dallas
Sometimes Dallas shows up, sometimes they don't. I think they will.

Washington @ Kansas City
I think KC picks it up this week after a tough one two weeks ago.

New England @ Denver
Some exposure through the armor, but still good enough to beat Denver

NY Jets @ Buffalo
The Jets suck.

San Diego @ Oakland
Randy breaks out with 175 and 3 TDs. He's due.

Houston @ Seattle
No light at the end of the tunnel for Houston.

St. Louis @ Indianapolis
My dark horse. Mike Martz-less rams win with Marc Bulger's arm.

4. NOW WE ARE TALKING - I'M NOT IN LAST
After a stunning 7-7 week I climb out of last place to ... next to last place. Wow I need to work on this, because I suck.

Anyway, here are my picks.

Atlanta over New Orleans no matter where the Saints play they will suck right now.

Detroit over Carolina. For some reason I like Detroit this week.

Cincinnati over Tennessee. The Bengals are looking good.

Baltimore over Cleaveland. Its tough to win when you don't score.

Pittsburgh over Jacksonville.

Miami over Tampa Bay

Minnesota over Chicago

NY Giants over Dallas

Kansas City over Washington

New England over Denver

NY Jets over Buffalo. Vinnie T needs a bad team to beat up on and the Bills are it.

San Diego over Oakland. Even though its in Oakland, this Chargers team is pissed and looking to score a lot of points this week.

Seattle over Houston in the most boring game of the week.

Indianapolis over St. Louis

If you look at her picks in reply #6, she had Detroit over Carolina. But a hell of week nonetheless.

28. Okay, I get it. Minnesota sucks.
I've learned my lesson and I won't be picking them again.

If only the Patriots could have completed that comeback, I would have had a great week.

30. Yeah, me too.
Though I'm glad they lost.

I didn't realize that I had picked Detroit over Carolina - I thought for sure I had Carolina picked, but I didn't. What was a I thinking? Meh, it was close anyway - not a terrible pick. I really wanted to pick Jacksonville, I just didn't think it was gonna happen. Shoulda gone with my first instinct.

31. When was it known that Maddox would start?
I guess I spaced on Big Ben's injury - if I had known or realized Maddox was starting, I would have gone with the Jags. :)

32. I'm still mad at the Steelers for losing and messing up my pick
They coulda had it won if they had run it more in OT instead of relying on that shitty XFL refugee Maddox. Of course I can't say anything about the XFL since He Hate Me is on our team.
Remember in my prediction, I said they should run it on every damn down? Why couldn't Sgt. Slaughter (Cowher) listen to me? They woulda won.

33. That's why I didn't pick against them.
All week, all I heard was that it "wasn't that serious", and I think starting Maddox was pretty much a game-time decision. I definitely would've picked Jax if Maddox was named starter earlier.

Hopefully they'll start Maddox next week against the Bengals. :)
