Not a real creative title. I apologize but honestly, I think it is time for me to realize in my picks that upsets really aren't happening this year. There is separation from the unbeatens and the others in the Top 25. Plus there is another separation between the Top 25 and the other teams in the NCAA.
1. Florida-vs. Vanderbilt- The Gators know they have locked down the SEC East already and they really will not have an issue with Vandy even without the quarterback of their defense Brandon Spikes. UF 35-7
2. Texas-vs. UCF- The Longhorns seem to have a lot of cupcakes this year and they better blow out the Golden Knights because if they do not, I think they will be third again in the BCS. The Longhorns seem to be improving every week so I do not see why they will not dominate. TEXAS 45-10
3. Alabama-vs. 9. LSU- The Tide hasn't been the Tigers in Tuscaloosa in 10 years and LSU has progressivly got better in the past couple of weeks. I agree with the analysts that LSU quarterback Jarod Jefferson will be the difference. Defense ball game with the Tide winning it due to Mark Ingram. BAMA 16-10
4. Iowa-vs. Northwestern- The Hawkeyes have been labelded the "Comeback kids" after coming back in four games this year. Kirk Ferentz has said the ranking doesnt fit and everyone else is too. I think you see a big game out of the Hawkeyes because nothing I hate more than the Wildcats system of alternating quarterbacks. IOWA 41-14
5. Cincinnati-vs. UCONN- The Bearcats are on the national stage for all of us to see how they do against a Big East foe. They still do not have Tony Pike but that hasn't really stopped them. I think the Huskies get up for this one but it will be too much offense by the fourth quarter. CINCY 34-24
6. TCU-at San Diego St.- The Horned Frogs have been awesome so far on the defensive end and they really have been doing all the right things. Granted, I still do not think they deserve to be in the same league as Florida, Bama, Texas, and Iowa. The Aztecs suck too by the way. TCU 49-6
7. Boise State-at Lousiana Tech- People might think of this as an upset because of the extensive travel and Tech wanting to break the Broncos season. It will not happened because the Bulldogs are not very good. I expect an inspired first half then its downhill after that. BOISE 42-16
8. Oregon-at Stanford- "Chucks Corner Upset Alert" a couple of reasons why... ESPN has been hyping the Ducks hard and you know they are hearing all of that. Plus you have the letdown factor against USC. I think their defense will be too good for the Cardinal but it will be a close game. ORE 17-14
9. LSU-SEE 3. Alabama
10. Georgia Tech-vs. Wake Forest- The Yellow Jackets have been moving up the charts with the great play of running back Jonathan Dwyer and they are playing a Wake team who probably should have won last week. Riley Skinner is banged up and Georgia Tech is at home. GT 28-20
11. Penn State-vs. 16. Ohio State- The Nittany Lions could end the Buckeyes hopes of going to the Rose Bowl if they win and I am still not impressed with the Buckeyes. The Nittany Lions defense is hungry and I think Daryll Clark wants this game bad. PSU 20-13
12. USC-at Arizona State- The Trojans try to bounce back in desert this week and the Sun Devils haven't been good like in the last couple of years. I see the Trojans bounce back nicely in this one. USC 31-14
13. Pittsburgh-vs. Syracuse- The Panthers have bolted up the BCS and the Cincy-Pitt game is looming large in the next couple of weeks. They have a freshman stud running back in Dion Harris and the Cuse struggled against the Bearcats. I do not foresee a close game in this one. PITT 38-17
14. Utah-vs. New Mexico- The Lobos have not won a game this year. Rut roh. This doesn't deserve any more talk about it. UTAH 41-0
15. Houston-at Tulsa- Should be a good C-USA battle. Both are two good teams and I was stunned to see Casey Keenum dropped 559 yards passing last weekend. I think the Cougars offense will be too much for the Golden Hurricane. HOU 42-31
16. Ohio State-SEE 11. Penn State
17. Miami-vs. Virginia- The Hurricanes pulled one out of their asses last weekend. I really thought the playcalling was shotty at best down the stretch. They are lucky to win last week but the Cavs aren't a good team. The U will roll. MIA 31-9
18. Arizona-vs. Wash. State- I cannot believe how bad the Cougars are. They would even take Ryan Leaf back as quarterback now that might help out things. The Cats will take care of business. ZONA 52-3
19. Oklahoma State-at Iowa State- The Cowboys laid a complete egg at home last weekend and now they travel for rather chilly game so far. The Cyclones are in the very weak Big 12 North and I think this one will pull away from Iowa State. OSU 31-21
20. California-vs. Oregon State- A good battle between Jacquizz Rodgers and Jahvid Best at the running back position. It will probably be a clock management game between these two teams and Cal will hit a late FG to win it. CAL 23-20
21. Wisconsin-at Indiana- Good to see the Badgers back in the BCS and they have been hanging around the fourth spot in the Big 10. Indiana seems lost and they cannot hold a lead. This team is in a bad place and the Badger defense has been strong in the past couple of weeks. UW 28-10
22. Notre Dame-vs. Navy- The last time the Navel Academy came to South Bend, they knocked them off but not this time. People are starting to realize that Jimmy Clausen deserves the Heisman so far and they will have full control of this game. ND 34-7
23. Virigina Tech- at East Carolina- The usual Thursday night game and this one brings back memories of the first week of the season last year where the Pirates upset the Hokies. I do not for see that happening this year because ECU struggled against good teams this year so far losing by 10+ points. VT 28-17
24. Oklahoma-at Nebraska- A classic rivalry that we do not see enough. The Cornhuskers need to make a statement that the Big 12 North can compete with the other divison. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and pull this one out at home. NEB 24-21

Brandon Spikes: WWE Wrestler or Middle Linebacker?
If you haven't been watching ESPN in the last couple of days, you probably haven't seen the Brandon Spikes eye gouge against Georgia. That led to the half-game suspension against Vanderbilt this weekend and it has drawn ire from the sports media. To me, that is completely ridiculous. I think the Captian Insano eye gouge is nothing to bat an eye at.
Why do people not realize that this happens all the effin time in football? If you do not think Ray Lewis, Patrick Willis, Taylor Mays, whoever other physical defenders play dirty? You are out of mind. Al Harris is known to be a dirty player and it's not a media topic for Skip Bayless to debate about. I believe the reason is because it's college football and it is suppose to be a pure sport. It has to be because I can find no other reason for media heads to be mad at Spikes for doing this. He has now said that he will sit out the entire game to avoid distraction... thanks again media.
The ultimate crazy thing about this whole ordeal is the fact that the Georgia running back who got his eyes gouged as if he was Bret Hart in the late 80s said this isnt a big deal... this how Georgia-Florida football goes. My God, even that guy understands that a simple eye gouge is not the end of the world. Spikes only got the suspension because the heat of the media and Florida knowing their SEC fans not wearing blue/orange would complain of favoritism.

Will the Yankees Choke?
I honestly think this is the jinx probably and the Yankees will steamroll against Pedro Martinez tonight. But for the fun of it, let’s just talk about the World Series, since I haven't talked at all about it. I think it's been a good playoffs so far, and I think this has been the most intriguing World Series in about five years. Which hopefully will bring baseball back somewhat, but how epic would it be if the Yankees choke?
I wrote earlier this summer how I like the fact when the big time sports teams are on top because you had someone to root against in every postseason. The Yankees have that swagger, we all know and hate with the arrogance of A-Rod (although what he has done this postseason is one of the best that I have seen in my first time), Derek Jeter, and Mark Teixerira. I loved to see the Yankees fall apart because I remember seeing Mariano Rivera blow Game 7 against Arizona in 2002, which probably was the special moment of my baseball watching.
The one thing I think you have to worry about is Brad Lidge. He could blow it against a la Mitch Williams in 1993. Lidge is a complete problem for the Phillies and I said earlier this summer, that "if Charlie Manuel was the Brewers coach, Derrick Turnbow would still be our closer." The Phillies have to hope that if they want to win this series, they need to have at least a four run lead going into the ninth.
I think tonight will be an absolute shoot-out. It will be around 10-9 final because I think both of these pitchers will struggle tonight. The point I made about Brett Favre about being old is the exact same thing with both of these guys. Three days rest is so hard to come by when you are an old pitchers. If any older pitcher were to do it, Andy Pettitte would be the one to do it. The man is clutch, more than Johnny Moxson on a fourth quarter drive.
The only reason why I would hate to see the Yankee lose? If CC Sabathia ended up blowing Game 7, I would be crushed for him. He is a class act and despite leaving the Milwaukee Brewers, he still a stand-up guy. I think his career is never the same if CC loses Game 7.

My College Football Proposal
My friend and avid Iowa Hawkeye football supporter JS sent me an article done by Pat Forde who I normally enjoy reading especially the "Forde Yard Dash", a weekly column about College Football/Basketball. To paraphrase what he said, he really doesn't believe in what Iowa has done and he feels that all the unbeatens including Oregon should be higher than the Hawkeyes. Kirk Herbstreit said that Big 10 is an inferior conference today on Mike and Mike in the Morning. I have no idea how that’s possible because I think this has been the Big 10's most competitive year in awhile. I honestly believe they need to have twelve teams to be respected; therefore I have a great suggestion.
MOVE: Iowa State to the Big 10- I think the Cyclones would be helped out by moving them out of the horrendous Big 12 North and putting them into the Big 10. They are not great but I think the Big Ten thing will move them in terms of recruiting for football, maybe not basketball. Then the conferences break down looks like this and by the way, I am coming up with random division titles. If you have a suggestion for me, let me know.
Hayden Fry Division: Iowa, Iowa State, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Penn State- I know that seems random to throw the Nittany Lions in there but honestly if you put OSU, Michigan, and PSU in the same division basically the same Big 12 dilemma.
Woody Hayes Division: Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Purdue, Indiana- You could say this will be a top-heavy division but Purdue has good years once in while same with Michigan State. The Buckeyes may run the table but then they still play Penn State, Iowa, or Wisconsin.
Big 10 Championship: Rotates in Lambeau, Solider Field, Metrodome, Ford Field, Lucas Oil Stadium.
Now for the Big 12, I understand that people keep these teams in the division geographically but honestly, why does this need to happen? We all know there are about six real student-athletes and then they all just go along for the ride
Johnny Rodgers Division: Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Missouri, Kansas, Kansas State- Thats a pretty competitive and solid division because you include a bunch of rivalries plus there will be parody.
Earl Campbell Division: Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, TCU, Baylor, Colorado- Yes this could be the battle of Texas, but honestly, this would be a great division with rivalries. The Horned Frogs could gain recruiting big time when they just the Big 12.
I might be wrong and this might seem out there, yet I hope something changes for the Big 10. People need to realize that this isn't your dad's Big 10. There is a need for a change, something has to happened.

Favre Strikes Again
People hyped up the game from the start of the signing of Brett Favre to the Minnesota Vikings was the return to Lambeau Field. Nobody had any idea what kind of reception Favre was going to receive and I truly do not believe many Packer fans thought we will going to lose on Sunday, especially after losing to the Vikes earlier on in the year. I made a couple of quotes the first time around and I think they still stand true today.
"Don't worry Packer fans its only Game Four. Two back in the division in October doesn't mean as much as November." - Well now its November and it means a hell of a lot more that we lost. We are now two games back virtually out of the division hunt and now battling the likes of Dallas/Philadelphia/Atlanta/NY Giants for the Wild Card spots. The NFC will not be decided until the final week of the season, I will tell you that much. After Minnesota and New Orleans, there hasn't been a legit team in NFC. There are a lot of good teams but I really feel the Saints hold the claim of being a great team.
Remember, no quarterback at the age of 40 has won a playoff game ever - That serves as fair warning to any of you Viking fans or Packer non-believers out there. Yes, they do not play any cold weather games but the fact of matter is the old age catches up to you. Favre will have those weeks where he will look like complete dogshit. I will make this claim right now, not a chance in hell does he take the Vikes to the Super Bowl. If that happens, I will probably drown myself in nacho cheese because everything I preached in the past two years would be a lie.
The game sucked yes. But I am not falling off the wagon, believing the Packers will be 8-8. You are crazy if you think believe that. They have three extremely tough games against Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Dallas. I think T.J. Lang will be a household name by the end of the year, and I firmly believe that Mike McCarthy will find his head out of his ass. Maybe I am just a wishful thinker but man, you gotta believe.

The Ruins Run-Down With Coach (Everything Goes Back to Evan)
Coach: Chuck
Chuck: Coach
Coach: How is Vikings land...are you ready to win Favre-ageddon this Sunday?
Chuck: It’s good right now, I would say its 70-30 Packer fans up here we will run the streets though Sunday Night when the Pack wins (NOTE: This didn’t happen sadly, more to come on that later)
Coach: You are on the front lines in the war on terror a lot of insurgents up in those parts
Chuck: That I am, speaking of war on terror, I saw the trailer for 24 during the World Series
Coach: So did I...I was in a bar and gave like 8 high fives, people thought I was excited about the Yankees
Chuck: Haha, hell no all about jack
Coach: Nope...I was excited about the return of god in January
Chuck: So last night, I went to a party that a. I wasn't supposed to be at because I'm not in their organization, b. was a theme party of "CEO and Office Hoes, and I showed up in like a long-sleeve shirt, jeans... people are like why aren’t you dressed up? Simply put, "Well its Casual Friday at my office
Coach: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Chuck: Probably one of my finest moments this semester
Coach: So classy....just like when in college I stole tucker max's costume idea and went to the Halloween party for soph-senior year with a red beauty pageant sash that simply just said gods gift
Chuck: That's great, I honestly don't have an idea for this year and might just do that... I’m not lying either (Note to Coach’s dismay, I didn’t do it. Couldn’t find a sash and the fabric just didn’t work. I went as Capt. Mismatch it scored 3’s from the French judges.
Coach: Well chuck...that would be epic and the honey bees just flock to you in that costume...it's like fishing with dynamite
Coach: Well let’s get to the ruins
Chuck: Yes sir
Coach: First of all...I don’t even know where to start there was so much gold in these two episodes first ...the Tonya incident
Chuck: Will we see Tonya on Intervention in a couple months?
Coach: I think she is willing to make money in the role of crazy drunk / slut...so I give it a 60/40 odds, I mean Jesus Christ but looking at the fight
Chuck: She just hit her with a vicious slap
Coach: A few things stick out in my mind...first the slap was awesome
Chuck: How did Veronica not have a boob escape from that dress?
Coach: Well I was surprised by that...but what I loved is that they let them fight and then Wes dives in and couldn’t get it broken up
Chuck: It was like on an African Safari just watching two lions going at it, nobody really cares, it took about three or four of the guys to break that shit up
Coach: Well the highlight to me was Evan, I mean what a d bag, he's the one that starts the fight pretty much and then at the end he’s trying to play like priest / social worker
Chuck: Yes he does light the fire for it and then tells Veronica to leave like he's Tonya BFF
Coach: I really hate Evan...first of all when he and Johnny were in the bunk bed together discussing strategy that was all I needed to see
Chuck: I think Evan had the quote of the year though next episode which we will get to later
Coach: Oh yeah...yeah that was classic but I still think the guy is a putz
Chuck: He just thinks he's the man
Coach: Derrick also had a sweet quote about the Wes loss I will say this… I am not a huge Wes fan I like him on the challenges but he’s all an act what I do like though is that he can’t stay in character
Chuck: I guess I can understand that and he really bitched out after Johanna said she would take that money away
Coach: I mean one of the only people to ever lose with class on the challenge???
Chuck: Yeah he really did, he admitted he lost and walked off
Coach: It’s just to keep getting invited back I think he plays a game of how much shit can I talk to that people hate me
Chuck: Well I appreciate it because I cannot stand Kenny, hate him worse than anyone on the show
Coach: Yes Kenny is a total d bag
Coach: But I really have to say that Evan really should take a swift kick in the gonads for his stunt on ibis
Chuck: Yes but at the same time, can you blame him? If I am in Evan position, do I really pass up the opportunity to keep nailing Veronica? I don’t think I do
Coach: I mean let’s look at the just debacle
Chuck: The biggest voting crisis sine 2000
Coach: Easily, I mean that was unbelievable, Evan who always is working the polls and setting things up...drops the ball
Chuck: Syrus/Derrick/Darrell weren’t informed at all
Coach: Well...can you really blame derrick
Chuck: Derrick is so concussed from all the shit he's done, I really cant
Coach: If he’s not in it you know he is knocking back oil cans of PBR, Heineken or whatever they get for free
Coach: But I mean again I go back to hating Evan, he is the kind of guy that would ask you to be wing man...would see the other chick is hotter and then try to screw you over, I mean...the first time he votes for ibis????? It was his plan
Chuck: Yes he is what we called up here in EC a snake. Just snakes around looking for his best option, not really telling people what he's really got on his mind
Chuck: Another key subplot in all of this... Johnny Bananas, the other tool just goes "Fuck it, Ibis-Kimberly, he just completely lost it
Coach: Again...a total moron
Coach: That is why I think they need to come up with a challenge called like...playground or war games or something and have Johnny Kenny and Evan be captains and pick the teams on the fly
Chuck: Do they vote them off or are there challenges to see who gets voted off? I think it would be awesome if Evan/Kenny/Johnny had to vote their players off themselves, so many people would try to get ahead in the game then
Coach: I mean...you watch those 3 circle jerk each other all the time...and like I said in one of the most homoerotic moments ever when they were up in the bunk bed with the blankets pulled over talking about how in the end it had to be them together
Chuck: Yeah they think they are the best generals in the game and when really they lost it mentally i.e. last week and then its all downhill
Coach: Well...I mean you get down to it the challenges are the best and they talk like its all about money and winning and all that but in the end Evan votes Ibis in cause he likes veronica donk and tat-tas
Chuck: I think in the coming weeks you see Darrell just coming in hot because honestly he is the most athletic guy out there
Coach: Remember when Alton was on the show he was like the MJ of the challenges
Chuck: Yes dominated everyone
Coach: Darrell is not there but I think out of this group he has to be the big dog of it all
Chuck: Agreed but he has never lost in the challenges
Coach: Another thing really bothering me, the ruins themselves. I want more gladiator type stuff. I mean I think it’s rigged, they don’t even pick a card or spin a wheel or anything anymore with TJ, it’s just here we go
Chuck: Yeah it’s getting very suspicious
Coach: I mean if they do anything physically competitive Wes wins but not that over under with a rope isn’t challenge but its more a mental challenge / endurance test
Chuck: Like last year I believe, it was when the gay guy went up against Wes or someone of that nature had a physical football like game and the guy got HIS ASS KICKED
Coach: I know...those were the way things should be settled and: I think after stuff like that and ct going nuts they kind of realized someone could die in one of these and scaled back
Chuck: Although we had a physical challenge this week finally and they need to get back to challenge that either involve barely any clothing or beating the shit out of each other
Coach: I liked it...listen make them beat the hell out of each other...other than the challenges they just drink and hang out...lets at least come out of there with a few war wounds. Don’t get me wrong they having a winning formula… drink a ton...cause drama...and then watching meatheads and sluts compete in challenges and I will probably watch until I am in the retirement home...then it will be pre-programmed Matlock or something
Coach: Well...what about derricks line...this is why I give him the man of the week. First of all it was like he had the nuclear suitcase
Coach: When he was asked to come in blind and vote and I mean he was so confused
Chuck: Yes he looked like a lost dog
Coach: Then his comment about Cohutta winning... “This was epic...if he wins this it will go down in challenge history"
Chuck: Derrick believed that ESPN Classic has the film ready
Coach: Like some day people will open up an US history book and be like...main remember on the ruins when Wes lost to Cohutta? Derrick = man of the week
Chuck: Easily, also on Facebook I called it "Buster Douglas beating Tyson"
Coach: I like it...I mean that was a huge upset… a huge upset
Chuck: Oh yeah and it’s a somewhat even the playing field, now its 9 to 7
Coach: Plus the real slap in the balls to Wes is that his girlfriend seemed sad...but not really
Chuck: Yeah I said to my roommate how great it would be if she just bones Cohutta in the next couple of weeks… he just looks at me and goes we can only hope
Coach: I mean you remember last year when Kim lost and had to go home and Dunbar wouldn’t talk to anyone and cried
Chuck: Yes the roids obviously weren’t cycling
Coach: That was emotion...and he had only made out with her a few times...and here's Wes losing and she’s just kind of like...I’m sad but oh well. I think the challenger team once they get rid of Casey is in a good position
Chuck: Yeah Brad will beat most in challenges, same with Dunbar, they might just keep going to Cohutta
Coach: Also...d-bag of the week is Benedict Arnold = Evan
Chuck: Wes despite the great quote, he just sucks and I have done a complete 180 on Evan
Coach: Well I think he’s the type of guy that I would legit hate in real life real cocky...talks shit...and like I said based on this website I read...total liar
Chuck: Yeah I agree, I can’t seem to enjoy having a conversation with him about anything he would be like "Dude, most of the girls I have fooled around with blah blah blah."
Coach: I am giving woman of the week to Kim, mainly because she is hot
Chuck: Veronica comes in a close second for seeing her in that bikini which should be a requirement every week
Chuck: Yes, I think Kim a girl I would bring home to Deb, nice southern accent, seems like she keeps her self together
Coach: Might not want to mention this to Deb though...in the past challenge on one of the after shows she talks about how after she dated Dunbar he made her enjoy giving hummers, again...I love the after shows
Chuck: Well... we won’t go down that road, I really need to start watching them more often
Coach: My god, the after shows might be as good as the actual show
Chuck: I also have roommates who denounce it YET still watch with me and my other roommate every week
Coach: You always get those types...the closet fan
Chuck: I take that back, three of us are big fans, the rest act as if they don’t like it but every week they don’t complain about watching it, just maybe one or two words before it starts
Coach: I have never met anyone that actually cannot sit down and enjoy and hour of the challenges
Chuck: Doz fits that profile too he knows he likes it, just doesn’t want to conform

NFL Picks Week 8: Bringin Back the Stone Cold Salute
I wish I could tell you the story but I really need my buddy E to act it out like did this morning. The man deserves an Oscar for that performance. Well I am hungover and didn't get much sleep so if this sucks, you know why.
Houston (4-3) at Buffalo (3-4)- Interesting game for a couple of reasons. Dick Jauron is keeping his job because the Harvard Wonder Ryan Fitzpatrick has dominated in the past couple of weeks plus their defense is looking tougher and tougher. I do not like the road game for the Texans and it will be close. BUFF 20-17
Cleveland (1-6) at Chicago (3-3)- The Bears are all the sudden reeling and Jay Cutler has 11 interceptions already. Are you worried yet Chicago? I would be and their defense are so banged up it's not even funny. This game will be very ugly. CHI 24-7
Seattle (2-4) at Dallas (4-2)- Has the Seattle strength and training coach been fired? Honestly, the last two years have been marred by injuries and obviously something going wrong there. I think the Cowboys will roll in this game. DAL 35-17
St. Louis (0-7) at Detroit (1-5)- The toilet bowl and you shouldn't be surprised that this game is blacked out in the local D-Town area. I do not think you could pay me enough money to watch a second of this game. I will take the Lions. DET 24-13
Denver (6-0) at Baltimore (3-3)- The Ravens looked like the best team in the NFL through the first three weeks and now they have caught a bunch of bad luck. The Broncos have had two weeks to prepare for this suddenly not strong Raven defense. They keep it going. DEN 34-23
San Francisco (3-3) at Indianapolis (6-0)- I am not impressed with the Colts schedule so far and I really could see the Niners giving Indy a game. They need some production from Alex Smith and I do not trust him whatsoever. INDY 28-23
Miami (2-4) at NY Jets (4-3)- The Jets rebounded very nicely against the Fightin Mitch Pratts last week and they struggled with Wildcat last time plus they are losing players on that defense makes me unwary of them this week. I like the Dolphins in this one. MIA 24-21
NY Giants (5-2) at Philadelphia (4-2)- People are starting to worry about the Giants with their last two losses and unlike Matthew Berry said, I think Donovan McNabb will have a big time game with their weak secondary. PHIL 35-24
Jacksonville (3-3) at Tennessee (0-6)- I have no idea how the Jaguars are .500 that amazes me because I really think they are an awful team. Jeff Fisher is all the sudden on the hot seat and they finally saw the light starting Vince Young, it will work. TENN 21-10
Oakland (2-5) at San Diego (3-3)- I would love for Mitch Pratt to explain how a team knocks off the Eagles, a likely playoff team and then gets blown out by a team who might not win eight games. Also the feminism that Tom Cable got served today doesn't bode well for them. SD 35-10
Carolina (2-4) at Arizona (4-2)- I call this one "Jake Delhomme Last Start" he will definitely struggled in this one plus the Cards all the sudden have found their stroke. The Cards will dominate. ARI 31-21
Minnesota (6-1) at Green Bay (4-2)- Oh boy. This is about as excited I have been for a football game with the return of Brett Favre. I think the Vikings are very close to falling off the face of the earth with Favre throwing 51 passes (he has thrown more and more every week by the way) and Childress knows he might earn an extension next week if he wins. The Pack figured out how to play the 3-4 and its going to be deadly. All that being said, its still going to be a close game with the Pack winning. GB 28-20
Atlanta (4-2) at New Orleans (6-0)- It surprised me to see the Falcons get dominated by the Cowboys last week and the Saints just keep winning. I think this will be high scoring and just a great back-forth battle. I have to take the home team in this one. NO 38-34

Houston (4-3) at Buffalo (3-4)- Interesting game for a couple of reasons.
