Warning:

The following stunts are performed by professionals in a safe environment, under the supervision of no-one. Do not try this at home.

What the statement above refers to, is a bold experiment. After four weeks of NFL-action, nothing is the way it's supposed to be. Therefore, to prove that it is impossible to predict games at the moment, this weeks picks are being brought to you by a coin. A €2, to be precise. Home teams will be heads, which is the bird-looking figure on one side, and visitors will be tails, the European map on the other side. Edit: The reason for this week being decided by a coin is because I went 5-8 last week. Let's see if a coin can do better than me...

Edit#2: Obviously, no pick on the Patriots game.

Seattle
@ New York
Exciting game. It will be interesting to see if New York can bounce back from that awful showing against Cincy. I wonder when Matt Hasselbeck can throw to a real receiver again...
The coin says: Seattle +7.0

Kansas City
@ Carolina
The Chiefs beat Denver last week. Huge upset. If they can knock of Carolina too, they might have something going.
The coin says: Carolina -9.5

Indianapolis
@ Houston
Must win for Peyton's Posse. They can not afford to drop to 1-3, 0-2 in the division, not with Tennessee looking sharp over the first four weeks. This line is probably the lowest the Texans have gotten against the Colts, ever.
The coin says: Indianapolis -3.0

San Diego
@ Miami
San Diego is not playing up to it's standards, Miami overachieved in one game. How this will play out, I have no idea, but if you forced me to pick, I would leave the answer to the coin.
The coin says: Miami +6.5

Washington
@ Philadelphia
Huge game for Philly, they can not afford to drop another divisional game if they want to contend for a playoff spot. The Redskins looked pretty good against Dallas, and I don't think the game was as close as the final score.
The coin says: Washington +5.5

Chicago
@ Detroit
The coin says: Chicago -3.5

Tennessee
@ Baltimore
The Ravens came o-so close to defeating Pittsburgh last week. The Titans should be a greater challenge, but now that I have disrespected Ray Lewis, he'll probably use that as motivation.
The coin says: Tennessee -3.0

Tampa Bay
@ Denver
Good win for Tampa Bay last week. Horrendous loss for Denver. If Tampa Bay wins this one, they'll establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with. If Denver loses, well, they'll be back in the pack.
The coin says: Denver -3.0

Buffalo
@ Arizona
Kurt Warner threw for 470 yards, Brett Favre had six TDs. Fantasy game all over the place. Buffalo is one of three undefeated teams, and they should be able to continue the streak against the Cards, even though I like Arizona.
The coin says: Arizona -1.0

Cincinnati
@ Dallas
Wow! The Bungels must really suck, 'cause they're getting 17 points on the road. I think that is the biggest spread we've seen all year. Dallas looks like they could be imploding before our very eyes if they lose one or two more games. Getcha popcorn ready!
The coin says: Dallas -17.0

Pittsburgh
@ Jacksonville
The coin says: Pittsburgh +4.0

Minnesota
@ New Orleans
The coin says: New Orleans -3.0

Bye: Cleveland, New York, Oakland, St. Louis.

Last week: 5-8

Season: 28-29
