KC @ PHI |
Eddie |
Eagles |
Fred |
Eagles |
|
Kevin Kolb for the Eagles has looked good enough to take Philly to a victory this weekend against the Chiefs. |
Chiefs stink…not sure if I’ll ever pick them the rest of the season. |

CLE @ BAL |
Eddie |
Ravens |
Fred |
Ravens |
|
Quinn remains the starter but I don’t think Cleveland issue should solely stand on the shoulders of Brady. This team just plain stinks. |
Browns stink too. Ravens will destroy them. |

NYG @ TB |
Eddie |
Giants |
Fred |
Giants |
|
I believe the Giants defense is a bit banged up but the Bucs haven’t impressed me at all. |
Giants are the 2nd best team in the NFC. They’ll pull out the win in Tampa. |

ATL @ NE |
Eddie |
Patriots |
Fred |
Patriots |
|
The Patriots haven’t looked good but Wes Welker is back and I believe this is going to be an aerial assault in Foxborough. |
I love the Falcons this year, but I will be shocked if Belichick and Brady lose at home. |

TEN @ NYJ |
Eddie |
Jets |
Fred |
Titans |
|
This Jets defense is for real. They have managed to shut down both Andre Johnson and Randy Moss but can they stop Chris Johnson of the Titans? |
I can’t see the Titans starting the season 0-3 |

GB @ STL |
Eddie |
Packers |
Fred |
Packers |
|
I came into this season with high hopes and expectations for the Packers. This should be a game where they begin to build momentum back after a disappointing loss last week. |
I’m still stunned the Packers lost last week. I like the Bengals this year, but would have NEVER called them beating the Pack in Green Bay. This week, the Packers avenge that loss and CRUSH the Rams. |

Vikings |
Fred |
49ers |
|
This is a tough one too because the 49ers came this year to play. I’m only going with the Vikings because they are at home. |
Mike Singletary is on his way to the Coach of the Year if he keeps this up. Don’t get me wrong, I think the Vikings are the 3rd best team in the NFC. I just got a gut feeling that the Niners will pull of the upset. |

JAC @ HOU |

Texans |
Fred |
Texans |
|
Schaub and Johnson should have another field day this week against Jacksonville. |
The Jags royally stink this year. But which Texans team will we see? Even a bad Texans team should beat the Jags. |

WAS @ DET |
Eddie |
Lions |
Fred |
Lions |
|
Lions should get their first win this week but either way I think this will be a tight game. |
Everyone is down on the Redskins because they didn’t slaughter the Rams last week. Their offense does look primitive, and against a Lions team who appears to be getting exponentially better each week, the Redskins should lose this one. |

Bears |

Seattle was a sleeper time and now they are plagued with inquiries. Go with Chicago. |
No Hasselbeck, no way |

NO @ BUF |
Eddie |
Saints |
Fred |
Saints |
|
The Saints are just an offensive juggernaut and they will need to rely on the arm of Brees since the Saints backfield is a bit banged up. I expect another 3 touchdown game from him. |
If the Bills win this one, they ARE legit. |

MIA @ SD |

Chargers |
|
Miami showed a lot of resilience last week against the Colts but they get another tough matchup at San Diego. |
There are so many awful teams this year, and the Dolphins are another one. |

Steelers |
|
The Bengals shocked the nation last week but they won’t this week. |
Can the Bengals knock off the best team in the AFC? Possibly, but I’m still going with the Steelers. |

Cardinals |
|
This should be a great game and one to me that is going to be too close to call. I like the Colts in this Sunday night match up. |
Only picking the Cardinals because they’re at home. |

CAR @ DAL |
Eddie |
Cowboys |
Fred |
Cowboys |
|
America’s team gets the spot light for Monday night. Carolina may be in a bit of disarray right now but they are a tough team and should play Dallas well. |
Panthers stink, Cowboys give their home fans a win this week. |
