NFL Picks for Week 6

Chicago (3-2) at Atlanta (3-2)- Earlier on in the year, you wouldnt have thought this game would have been much to talk about but now it seems like one of the bigger games of the week. The key for the Falcons will be if they can run the ball against the Bears defense. I dont see it happening enough. CHI 24-20

Baltimore (2-2) at Indianapolis (2-2)- The Colts could be 0-4 right now and I really think it shows that they are getting old which is weird to hear but its true. They go up against a good Baltimore team with a strong defense and good enough offense to take care of the Colts as they remain winless in the new stadium. BALT 20-10

Detroit (0-4) at Minnesota (2-3)- As one of my friends whose a Vikings fan said to me, "You know this is a game I could see the Vikings losing just because they tend to lay one egg all year." First off typical Viking pessimistic attitude and second off, it will not happen as the Lions are the worst team in football. Also how much does it suck in two of my four leagues I play AP, dammit. MIN 31-10

Oakland (1-3) at New Orleans (2-3)- Many people are talking about how Reggie Bush is having a great year and I would agree slightly, it just happens he has a huge game in special teams in primetime. The numbers when a team from the west goes to east are awful. Granted, I think the Raiders could win this one as their defense is good enough to hold this offense but they cannot close, which will be their downfall again. NO 31-27

Cincinnati (0-5) at New York Jets (2-2)- The Jets dont have to worry about Carson Palmer and that probably wins this one will get ugly because I think no team can win with Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback. Favre throws 7 TDs. NYJ 49-14

Carolina (4-1) at Tampa Bay (3-2)- This game is a good one as two of the top teams in the NFC South go at. Jeff Gracia also gets his chance for revenge as he starts this week, and I think that will propel the Bucs to victory since Gracia is the better quarterback out of him and Brian Griese. Although do not expect much scoring in this one. TB 13-9

St. Louis (0-4) at Washington (4-1)- One of the surprises of the NFL, and they get easy pickings this week as they play the awful Rams. Every player on the Redskins offense should be licking their chops as they will dominate on Sunday. WASH 38-6

Miami (2-2) at Houston (0-4)- How about the Dolphins? Beating two of the best teams in football but I think they will let down in this one as the Texans were a dumbass play away from winning last weekend, they will get their revenge in this one. HOU 24-20

Jacksonville (2-3) at Denver (4-1)- Remember when the Jags came into Denver and stunned the world in the 1996 playoffs? Not to say this would be any upset if the Jaguars do win here and I think they will because they have a strong running game and Larry Johnson has already shown how bad Denver's run defense is. JAX 28-21

Dallas (4-1) at Arizona (3-2)- How about this matchup, no one seen this one as being a primetime showdown that is and you know what? The Cardinals are going to take this one because the Cowboys' secondary sucks just as much as the economy right now and they will get lit up by Air Warner and the boys. ARI 31-17

Philadelphia (2-3) at San Francisco (2-3)- Make or break game for the Eagles with all of the NFC East playing at such a high level. No Brian Westbrook for tomorrow's game and that will really have an effect on them but I dont think the Niners have enough to pull out the upset. PHI 20-13

Green Bay (2-3) at Seattle (1-3)- It isnt a do or die game for the Pack although they could sure use a win. They never play well when they go to Seattle and always seem to get the shittiest refs there as well. I think the Packers will do just fine as they face a banged-up Seahawk team, this could be the thing that gets the wheels turning for the Packers. GB 31-20

New England (3-1) at San Diego (2-3)- Well these two teams have one thing in common... they both lost to Miami haha. This should be a good one as its Matt Cassell first game in the national spotlight and the Chargers have to make sure to keep their heads above water. The Pats seem to have a perfect game plan whenever facing the Chargers. NE 34-28

New York Giants (4-0) at Cleveland Browns (1-3)- I am sure this is the first time for the Browns on Monday night in a long while and I think they will be playing inspired football. Too bad, they play one of the best in the NFL and will continue to show dominance against the Browns. NYG 24-14
