CIN @ BAL |

Ravens |
Fred |
Ravens |
|
Ravens are just too strong of a team to let the Bengals come in and steal a win. |
Should be a close one, but gotta go with the home team |

|
Okay Carolina fans – this one looks doable. |
Not a fan of either of these teams, so going with the home team |

CLE @ BUF |

Bills |
Fred |
Browns |
|
Okay Bills fans – this one looks doable. (Is there an echo in here?) |
With Massamaquoddy and Jerome, the Braylon Edwardless Browns get the “W” in Buffalo |

No Lions fans… your sole win was not a dream but at least you are used to losing so this is nothing but another Sunday for you guys. |
Sounds like Culpepper will play, which equates to a guaranteed Lions loss |

Priest Holmes will get honored this Sunday for the accomplishments as a Chief. Could you please suit up too? |
Cowboys have to win this one or they’ll be the laughing stock of the NFL |

Vikings |
Fred |
Vikings |
|
Vikings remain undefeated as the Rams continue to look horrible. |
With Boller at QB, the Rams could go 0-16 |

OAK @ NYG |

Giants |

Giants |
|
This one could have been interesting had it been in Oakland and Jarmarcus was playing somewhat decent. The Giants are banged up but I just can’t see the Raiders leaving New York with a win. |
Two words…beat down! |

Bengals |
|
Vick could start this game and still come out with a win. |
Off a bye week at home, Eagles smoke ‘em! |

ATL @ SF |

Falcons |
Fred |
49ers |
|
Tough.. tough… matchup. 49ers are playing well but I like the Falcons this week. |
Even though the Falcons are coming off a bye week, the Niners are still playing out of their minds. No reason to pick against a team playing as hard as they are every week. |

HOU @ ARI |
Eddie |
Texans |
Fred |
Cardinals |
|
Texans are weird like that. They’ll surprise us this week and then look horrible the next. The trick is catching them on their schedule…. |
Off a bye week and at home, the Cardinals should easily pull this one out. |

Patriots |

Broncos |
|
This is another good matchup and I’d love to see Denver win but I just can’t see it… maybe next year? |
I picked against the Patriots at home last week and got burned. This time they’re away so it’s ok. J McDaniels, a.k.a. Bill Belichick Jr., wins against his former Head Coach. |

|
Did Jacksonville find momentum? |
Picking home team. But, if the Jags win, they’re a legit team. |

This could have been a good Sunday night matchup but the Titans just fell apart. Maybe Vince Young will make an appearance tonight. |

I just don’t think the Dolphins have enough to compete with the Jets. |
Jets are playoff bound while the Dolphins aren’t |
