Re: OT - This week's Football picks early...

So, I know it's Friday, but here ya go: 

>New England at Indianapolis

This and the Phi/Car game are the games of the week. I think if Manning's arm
is okay like they say it will be, Indy will take care of business in a close
one. Indy's D isn't terrible like years past, and the Pats' receiving corps is
depleted. 

>Minnesota at St Louis

Tough call because both teams are up and down. I think with the QB controversy
rumors, Bulger may not be 100% concentrated, so I would take the chance and
take Minnesota.

>Buffalo at NY Giants

I think you need to give this one to the Giants because the Bills' offense is
terrible for some reason. The Giants are better overall, so don't think Buffalo
will do anything miraculous.

>Cincinnati at Pittsburgh

Every week I pick against the Bungles because they're the Bungles. I would love
to pick them this week and jump on the bandwagon, but I'm not going to. Pitt
looked okay last week with Bettis running hard. Pitt!

>Philadelphia at Carolina

Great game, but I think Philly will take it. Why? Because I love them and I'm
biased. It's true. But logically, I think in the basics, they match up better.
Philly's D is better than Carolina's O. Carolina's D is better than Philly's O.
HOWEVER, Carolina's O is much worse than Philly's O, IMO. So ... take philly by
6.

>San Francisco at Baltimore

San Francisco. I hate when one player has a good week (Wright) and people say
he's amazing. It always happens, then 2 weeks later the player has a terrible
game and the fans change their minds (Rattay). 

>Atlanta at Houston

If Vick is out, go with Houston. They keep surprising me. Wait, stop. Pick
Atlanta, doesn't Houston lose the games they are supposed to win?

>Arizona at Chicago

Good God who cares. Pick Chicago because you love Chicago Style Pizza. 

>New Orleans at Washington

Washington, Washington, Washington. Mark my words (actually, don't). They
should have a better record than they do, and I think New Orleans is really
under achieving. 

>Denver at Oakland

Oakland. Why? Rivals. I dislike Plummer, and I hope Oakland really makes his
night bad.

>Kansas City at San Diego

Kansas City. Why would you pick SD?

>Cleveland at Seattle

Seattle really needs a win, and they are great at home.

>Tampa Bay at Jacksonville

Tampa Bay because of the D. Jacksonville is prepping a new QB (Leftwich),
unless Brunell plays, in which the TB D will still rule the day.

>Tennessee at NY Jets (this one seems the most obvious :))

Yes it is obvious. Tennessee will win. Why? Who thinks the Tennessee D can't
stop the Jets' attack. Sure, Pennington, Martin, and Coles are good. Who else?
