Week 6 picks

How I managed to NOT make a pick on the Atlanta-Green Bay game last week, I don't know. Momentary insanity maybe? Anyhoo, here's this weeks picks, minus New England of course. Should be a non-football update shortly. PS: The Coin did pretty good last week, so we might have it back for a guest performance later this season.

Cincinnati
@ New York
New York Bretts, looking pretty good. Cincinnati Bungels, looking for first win. They won't get it this week either. The Bretts offense is putting up points like crazy, and the Cincinnati defense ain't exactly the Bears of '85.
Pick: New york -5.5

Detroit
@ Minnesota
Winge has been bustin' balls about me not picking Minnesota once this season (I haven't checked if this is correct, someone let me know). So, in honor of the feeble attempt at pro-football that is the Detroit Lions, we will pick them to loose this game.
Pick: Minnesota -13.0

Miami
@ Houston
Sage Rosenfels gave away last weeks game. Miami knocked of last years Conference title game teams in back-to-back week. Roggen must be proud. I'm taking Miami and the points in this one, but this is a potential trap game.
Pick: Miami +3.0

Carolina
@ Tampa Bay
Big Divison game in the south! Carolina blanked KC last week in a pretty impressive showing. Tampa Bay walked the Broncos to the door in a close one. Should make for an interesting showdown.
Pick: Carolina +1.0

Oakland
@ New Orleans
Al Davis is full of s**t. I would probably work for him if he offered me the head coaching position, but I would only do it for the money. I really can't understand why anyone would work for him when he undermines his coaches decisions and talks trash in front of the players when the coach is not there. New Orleans actually cost me a victory in the Domers League this weekend, I lost with 1 point, because of Drew Brees' last interception. They should still be able to right the ship against the silver and black.
Pick: New Orleans -7.5

St. Louis
@ Washington
The 'Skins have been playing good ball since their Week 1 loss. The Rams have not played good ball since...can anyone remember?
Pick: Washington -13.0

Chicago
@ Atlanta
Surprise surprise! Two teams in waaaaay better shape than anyone would have thought at the beginning of the season. How the Falcons can handle the pressure from Chicago's front will tell you how many wins they'll get this season. (No scientific formula here, I just think we'll see Matt Ryan under more pressure than in any game earlier)(By the way, I am very in doubt about this game, so if you don't have a good feeling about any of the teams, stay away)
Pick: Chicago -2.5

Baltimore
@ Indianapolis
The Colts are two opposing-QB-giving-away-the-game fourth quarters from being 0-4. Ho-ly mackerell. And this Baltimore team is not stable enough yet, some weeks they're awesome, the next, they stink. This line is a couple points too high for me, but you might want to take the points.
Pick: Baltimore +4.5

Jacksonville
@ Denver
Pick: Jacksonville +3.5

Green Bay
@ Seattle
The Pack really need this win, if they wan't to stay in the hunt for the Division title. No no, they need it. Bad. And I don't think Seattle is going to be too difficult. Not at this spread at least.
Pick: Green Bay +2.5

Dallas
@ Arizona
Did Dallas struggle against the Bengals last week? Did I miss something?
Pick: Arizona +5.0

Philadelphia
@ San Francisco
Both these teams lost last week, and none of them really seemed to have any comeback ready when they fell behind. This is a tough game to predict, but I think I will take the Niners, because they are at home and getting four and a half.
Pick San Francisco +4.5

New York
@ Cleveland
Pick: New York -7.5

Bye: Buffalo, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Tennessee

Last week: 7-3-2

Season: 35-32-2
