NFL Picks

I went 4-1-1 on my NFL picks last week, and am looking to be just as hot this week. Let's get it started!

New England -8 over Cincinnati
I don't care who new England is playing and what the line is, i'm taking them all year long. They are just too good, and are now playing with a chip on their shoulders after the whole cameragate thing. Oh, and Cincinnati's defense is, shall we say, porous. Oh, and Cincinnati's missing Rudi Johnson.

Dallas -14 over St. Louis
That's a pretty big line for the NFL, but the Cowboys are good, are at home, and are playing a Rams team who is missing their best running back (Stephen Jackson), and who's starting quarterback has two broken ribs (Marc Bulger). Hello Cowboys...

Miami -4 over Oakland
Just don't like this Oakland team, and Miami has shown some signs of life.

Detroit +3 over Chicago
My first underdog. Chicago is starting Brian Griese instead of Rex Grossman this week; they might as well start Kyle Orton, i don't think any of those qb's are any good. The Lions throw the ball around, and the Bears defense is incredibly banged up. So there you go.

Atlanta +3 over Houston
I had this picked the other way, and even wrote a paragraph about it, but it only made me think it was going the other way. D'Angelo Hall, after sitting out the first quarter due to him losing it last week, will be a man possessed once he gets on the field. For some reason, i have a good feeling about the Falcons this week.

Pittsburgh -6.5 over Arizona
Yeah, Whisenhunt used to coach for the Steelers. Yeah, the Cardinals showed some signs of life last week in Baltimore. And yeah, the Cardinals are playing at home. But i just can't do it. I can't. The Steelers are too good.
