Click images for desktop size: "Another Side Of The Babe"Last week my picks were so mediocre that, in the contest I'm in, I finished 46th for the week but somehow raised myself up from 224th for the season to 93rd . . . I have no concept of how that happened, or what it means.
Except I still don't get a prize . . .

Home teams listed first. My pick BOLD.

Detroit v Baltimore -  I like the Lions receiver corps but Harrington is unreliable, even with his “bad call game winning touchdown” denied last week, his numbers are pure choke. The Lions are tough at home but the Raven D will come in angry.

Cleveland v Chicago - The cruddy game of the week.

Buffalo v Miami - The Bills bringing in Holcomb gives this game a bit more interest. He can shred the Dolphin's secondary.

Atlanta v New England - Two wounded teams. Vick is a huge loss for Atlanta, Pat's are going to miss Seymour. It's a game of reserves. Great running game from Falcons can be shut down without the Vick threat.

Green Bay v New Orleans - I can't believe this pick. GO SAINTS.

St Louis v Seattle - Going with Seattle for the revenge factor. Runner up cruddy game of the week saved by either teams ability to implode or explode at will.

New York Jets v Tampa Bay - Vinnie is back and Tampa Bay is laughing.

Houston v Tennessee -  I like Carr but, so far this season, he looks shell shocked.

San Francisco v Indianapolis - This is a college game spread. A number one thrown into face a juggernaut.

Arizona v Carolina - Denny Green is a terrible coach.

Dallas v Philadelphia - Parcell is so 20th century.

Denver v Washington - Gibb's mirrors get broken at Mile High.

Jacksonville v Cincinnati - The game of the week! And it's on ESPN! Only problem is switching between this game and the Yankees-Angels game!.
