NFL Pick 'Em

Baltimore at Miami- This is a tough one to call, because Miami is looking decent on offense and decent on defense. Baltimore is a beat anemic on offense but the defense has scarcely looked better. Everyone knows a rock-solid defense wins the game.

Tennessee at Kansas City- Kansas City's nightmare season continues against the unbeaten Titans. Will Vince Young return as the main man? I don't know, I was hoping you might.

San Francisco at New York Giants- This is being posted prior to Week 6's Monday Night game, but I'm gonna go ahead and assume the Giants will remain unbeaten throughout Week 7 and into Week 8, barring any serious Tony Romo-like injuries. Hell, even with one of those.

Minnesota at Chicago- Chicago's feeling pretty jacked right about now, but can an offense that relies so heavily on their young runner get past the league's premiere run D? Well, Minnesota is in a pretty damn similar situation, so look for a low scoring and uneventful game.

Pittsburgh at Cincinnati- I want to call this the Lock of the week but something scares me about it. I won't be terribly surprised if I'm wrong on this one.

New Orleans at Carolina- Did you see that absolute ass whooping N'awlins handed Oakland over the weekend? Me neither, and boy am I thankful for that. It's time for the Saints to make their case for a playoff run before Tampa makes theirs.

Dallas at St. Louis- So who's the backup in Dallas? Brad Johnson? Ouch. My call would be direct snaps to Marion Barber all day long. They'll still probably manage this one though. I guess that injury couldn't have come on a better week.

San Diego at Buffalo- It's time for San Diego to start making their case as well. Now Miami could beat San Diego, but will Buffalo? Logically they should. but likely they won't. Don't worry, as long as the Bills stay on their game they won't be watching the playoffs on TV this season.

Detroit at Houston- OK, this is the lock of the week. Will Detroit win a game this year? That depends, do they play St. Louis?

Indianapolis at Green Bay- This should be a fun game to watch. Indy smashed Baltimore last week and it looks like they may be in good shape for a playoff run. Green Bay has been kind of all over the place lately.

Cleveland at Washington- Can somebody call Washington and tell them to stick with an identity? They go on the road and defeat their division rivals who are supposed to be better than them, and then come home to a glorious reception only to LOSE TO ST. LOUIS! So are they playoff caliber or do they absolutely positively suck? This game should be revealing, and I still think they're playoff caliber. Barely.

New York Jets at Oakland- Sexy pick of the week. If you're playing for money, don't go with this pick unless you're feeling dangerous. One of these days that defense has got to hold up all four quarters to seal a win. I recall looking at the Raiders schedule a few months prior the season and feeling this was one of a few games in which they could actually pull out a win. Then Brett "Just Kidding" Favre had to come in and muck it all up. They're overrated though, seriously.

Seattle at Tampa Bay- Tampa Bay, all the way.

Denver at New England- I could see this one going either way depending on which Denver Broncos team shows up this week. It's been scientifically proven however that New England is not the team they were a season ago. That's a good thing.
