It's that time again. This is the place for your picks every week. Looks to be an awesome year for football. Will the Saints repeat? How about the Colts? Think the Titans can get to the play-offs and maybe take the division? How about the Falcons overtaking the Saints? Think the Jets and Sanchez are gonna be as good as (or better than) last year and maybe take the Patriots out? How about the Bengals and Ravens? Which one can take the AFC North? Or can the Steelers survive without Big Ben for 4 weeks? What about the mess that is the West (AFC and NFC)? Step right up and let's do it!
Minnesota at New Orleans Miami at Buffalo Detroit at Chicago Oakland at Tennessee Cincinnati at New England Carolina at NY Giants Atlanta at Pittsburgh Cleveland at Tampa Bay Denver at Jacksonville Indianapolis at Houston San Francisco at Seattle Green Bay at Philadelphia Arizona at St. Louis Dallas at Washington Baltimore at NY Jets San Diego at Kansas City
As usual, picks are in bold.
And yes, I picked Houston over the Colts and Detroit over Chicago. The Colts are slow starters and are suspect on the O-line, not to mention the usual problems stopping the run. And Chicago is just a mess.

Sure, I'll play.
Minnesota at New Orleans Miami at Buffalo Detroit at Chicago Oakland at Tennessee Cincinnati at New England Carolina at NY Giants Atlanta at Pittsburgh Cleveland at Tampa Bay Denver at Jacksonville Indianapolis at Houston San Francisco at Seattle Green Bay at Philadelphia Arizona at St. Louis Dallas at Washington Baltimore at NY Jets San Diego at Kansas City
I don't think Detroit can win @ Chicago. If it were a home game, then sure. That's why I'm picking the Chiefs to beat the Chargers and the Texans to beat the Colts, but each by a field goal. Carolina's strong D should edge them over the Giants. Atlanta should get a few more points than Pittsburgh's weakened offence.
I'm really looking forward to the rematch of last years NFC Championship game between the Vikings and the Superbowl winning Saints. If Favre doesn't turnover the ball, they have a good shot at winning, but it IS Favre, and he's a reckless gunslinger at times.

Damn those all look familiar. Looks like only two disagreements.
Starting with the disagreements: Chicago over Dallas because of the O-line problems that Dallas is having. Peppers against that line is gonna be murder. Bengals over Ravens because Palmer is a better QB than Flacco (for now) and Benson is one of the very few backs to be successful against the Ravens D. Giants-Colts is more of a coin toss, and only picked because of Reggie Wayne and Co. with Peyton against the Giants secondary. Without Sanders, the Colts D is even worse than usual (not an unusual situation). Gonna be a fun game, and probable shoot-out.

For now and forever Flacco sucks and what the Ravens see in him is beyond me. Modell loaded up with recievers and that fucker couldn't hit water if he fell out of a fucking boat. OVERRATED (clap,clap,clap,clap,clap} Ravens great D,never had an O never will with Flacido. Palmer is 9-3 against the deadbirds.

San Francisco at Kansas City Detroit at Minnesota Buffalo at New England Atlanta at New Orleans Tennessee at NY Giants Pittsburgh at Tampa Bay Cincinnati at Carolina Cleveland at Baltimore Dallas at Houston Philadelphia at Jacksonville Washington at St. Louis Indianapolis at Denver Oakland at Arizona San Diego at Seattle NY Jets at Miami Green Bay at Chicago
Fairly easy week, with only a couple of possible upsets, namely Miami over the Jets and Arizona over Oakland. Chicago should win at home, Atlanta should win since the Saints are without Bush, and San Francisco could easily beat KC (and will if Alex Smith plays like he did last week).
