NFL Picks

I feel compelled to review my picks for the week so here goes:

Detroit and Green Bay: Green Bay is getting six and a half points. I don't get it at all. Detroit sucks and Green Bay has Bret Favre, don't they? I figure the game is even. I thought the "official" line would be giving the points to Detroit. My 'gut' tells me this may actually be the best bet.

Jets and Buffalo: I made this game even. Buffalo's getting points for being at home and the fact that they beat the over rated Miami team. Their defense looks good, but they have no offense. If the Jets protect the ball they should win out right. I should make a disclaimer here. Buffalo is my "hometeam" and I watch all their games. Their offense doesn't impress me. If New York scores first, it's over.

Washington and Huston: Huston sucks. Washington's offensive line looked like shit when they played Dallas but Dallas may be that good. This week they have Portis back and that should make a difference. I pick 'em by better then two touchdowns but the "official line" has them at only 4. That always makes me wonder but I just don't get it.

St. Louis and Arizona: Looks like the battle of "used to be" quarterbacks. Defense should be the difference and I don't think Arizona has any. St. Louis is getting points and I figure them to win out right.

Denver and New England: Thank GOD this game is the late one! If I'm running 'cold' by this time (like you've lost the early games) stay the fuck away from this one! I figure Denver the winner (by 3.5). They're getting 7 on the line. This game rests in the hands of Jake Plummer. Let's face it, the guy could have been one of the all-time greats but he's psycho! If his mood swings in the positive direction Denver can win this. If he's off his meds, Denver can get blown out. I'm going with the thinking that they up his medication and he has a good day. I'd suggest that if the proceeding games work out the way I figure play this one big. If you can get a price for Denver winning out right, go for it.


Atlanta and New Orleans: This game is even. First game at home for New Orleans, emotions are high, blah,blah, blah. Atlanta's the better team. Unless they throw the game on purpose or Vick breaks a leg running for his third touchdown, Atlanta should blow them away. Both teams are mediocre at best, but, Atlanta did beat Carolina.

That's six games and I'm thinking six wins. Realistically I'd be happy with 4 and 2. I'm uncomfortable with the Jets and the Broncos. I'll put my excuses up Tuesday.
