Buffalo – By a TD for the easy cover. I think they are poised for a big year.

Carolina – Just because…

Tenn – Kerry Collins leads the team. Marvin Lewis is my 1st bet in the coaching “dead pool”.

GB – wins by 10. New era has begun. The ghosts of the dome are exorcised.

NYG – Huge, double digit blow-out. Linehan is tied for #2 in my coaching “dead pool” with…

KC – Kiffin in OAK. The proverbial “who cares” game this week.

MN – I think Indy’s run is over. Although it pains me to pick MN, who wins by a TD or more. AP runs wild, which lead to the questions from the Twin cities about Childress about why he didn’t do that in GB.

TB – I have no idea who made this line and what they know that the general public does not. TB doesn’t cover and grind it out. Griese looks to be starting, although Garcia is saying he is fine to play. Also rumors of Garcia being shopped. Not sold on ATL though after one week though.

NYJ – Because I want a better draft pick from them.

Den – I agree with Andy – no idea why SD is favored.

Hou – Although I had a moment of pause since Brian “I am so smart” Bilick is no longer there. BAL also has a QB that isn’t 48 years old this year so they could generate some offense.

AZ – Although I think MIA keeps it close and the Cards don’t cover the 6.5.

Pitt – Blowout. Until they throw up a crappy game, I will continue to ride the Steel Curtain week in and week out. Ben R just wins games.

Dal – Closer on paper then when they hit the field. Dallas by 2 TD’s.

No crack picks or going out on a limb this week. Just trying to feel out yet who is real and who is going to be eliminated by Week 6.

I was stunned by how unprepared he looked against the Giants, especially in the last 5 minutes when they needed two socres and were huddling up, wasting time and throwing 6 yard passes when they needed 10 yards.

Is this just one of those gut calls or have I missed something about Zorn?

Buffalo over Jacksonville – Del Rio’s thugs don’t deserve to win (heh)

Carolina over Bears – Hate Bears too. Also, Bear defense (if they use the same one they ujsed against Indy) is high rick. Good game plan can defeat it.

Titans over Bengals – Collins is a better QB than Young. Titan defense is too good.

Packers over Lions – MM’s game planning and an almost perfect game plan will prevail here.

Giants over Rams – Good vs. Bad.

Chiefs over Raiders – Another overrated QB is going to start his downfall.

Colts over Vikings – I want Childress to be the first coach fired.

49ers vs. Seahawks – ??? Coin Toss Alex Smith out for the year? JT O’Sullivan???? Seattle

TB 0ver Falcons – Ryan=Rookie=Inconsistent play

Patriots over Jets – NE defense will be unleashed. Game films from last year’s Bear and Giant Championship game at GB will be the inspiration here

Broncos over Chargers – Pretty much a guess. SDE had a slow start last year why not this year?

Houston over Ravens – Rookie QB again.

Dolphins over Cardinals – SF is a really bad team and not a good benchmark. Parcell will game plan a win with an experienced QB who doesn’t make mistakes.

Steelers over Cleveland – Steeler defense, running game, and Rothlesburg throwing seldom and with great effect will dominate an overrated Brown team.

Cowboys over Eagles – Eagles are overrated too.
