Nice! I was 10-3 last week. I even got a number of the scores pretty darn close, like the Baltimore and San Diego games (although I can't claim much with scores, since I just kinda toss 'em out). Perhaps I'm finally getting a good handle on most NFL teams now. Naturally, the huge story for me last week was the Browns just obliterating TTSNBN; didn't get to watch it, but it was quite satisfying. Now TTSNBN plays the Steelers this week, and hopefully they play just as poorly. On to the picks:
Baltimore at Atlanta: Atlanta, x-x
Yeah, yeah, I didn't post in time. But I had the Falcons for this one, I promise!
Detroit at Buffalo: Detroit, 17-10
Buffalo's agony continues, losing a close on to Chicago last week. And I can't have it end here, as Detroit wants to have company in the "winless season" club.
Minnesota at Chicago: Minnesota, 21-17
The Bears' defense has been just good enough to have them lose close games most of the time. The Vikings are out to win to spite their loathed coach (yeah, I know, kinda weird).
NY Jets at Cleveland: Cleveland, 13-10
The Jets have potential, but they've looked lousy several times this year, and the Browns are at home again after a massively uplifting win against TTSNBN.
Carolina at Tampa Bay: Tampa Bay, 24-10
If the Bucs can hang with Atlanta on the road, I think they can take care of Carolina at home with not much trouble. Carolina is a worse disaster than Buffalo.
Houston at Jacksonville: Houston, 35-28
Two similar offensive powerhouses here with very little defense. I give the edge to Houston since they've been playing tougher teams which will serve as a "batting donut" for them.
Cincinnati at Indianapolis: Indianapolis, 31-21
Talented, undisciplined team meet talented, disciplined team. The Bungles are regressing quickly from last year's success, and Indy just plows ahead even with myriad injuries.
Tennessee at Miami: Tennessee, 27-10
The punishment is going to keep on coming, Miami. It will be interesting to see how Moss affects his THIRD team of the season (help CJ2K?), and Pennington is apparently starting for the Dolphins.
Kansas City at Denver: Kansas City, 24-17
KC is coming off a tough loss, but Denver can't stop the run while that's what KC does best. The Broncos will be the team more likely gasping for oxygen in Mile High Stadium this week.
Dallas at NY Giants: NY Giants, 42-14
This one has all the makings of a blowout; Dallas is looking horrid and they just fired their coach, while the G-Men are looking pretty dominant (granted, against crappy teams).
Seattle at Arizona: Arizona, 30-10
NFC West Part 1. The Cards surprised me by how well they played Minny last week, while Seattle couldn't even put up a fight on its own home turf.
St. Louis at San Francisco: St. Louis, 20-17
NFC West Part 2. I'm mostly picking St. Louis here since they are the overachievers this year and the 49ers are the underachievers. Go Rams!
TTSNBN at Pittsburgh: TTSNBN, x-x
Oh, boy. Hmmm, what's the best jinx I can think of? Roethlisberger is washed up, the defense is crap, TTSNBN will have no problems this week.
Philadelphia at Washington: Philadelphia, 28-10
The Redskins are looking worse and worse each week. Meanwhile, Vick came back and immediately led the Eagles to an impressive victory over Indy.
2010 Picks: 79-51
