NFL Picks

15-14-3 on the year. Need a good week this week. And we're off!

Indianapolis -7 over Carolina
Everyone in America is spouting off about how teams coming off Monday night wins never cover the next week. All i can think about is Peyton Manning vs. Vinny Testaverde. Colts struggle a little early, but pull away and win easily.

New Orleans -3 over San Francisco
The Saints are finally showing signs of that high powered offense from last year. The 49ers are just, well, bad.

Buffalo +3 over New York Jets
The J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets are lost. Mangini has let this team go, and it's not pretty right now.

San Diego -9.5 over Houston
The Chargers are actually playing at home, and somewhat like the Saints from all last year, i think they rally behind the fires in SoCal and win big.

Denver -3 over Green Bay
The Packers have no running game, and by no running game i mean they don't even try. The Bronco's have two awesome corners, so should be able to keep the Packers passing game in check somewhat. Plus Denver is at home, and after last week i think they are back to using their home field advantage.

Detroit +6 over Chicago
The Bears defense just isn't the same anymore...

New England -17 over Washington
A lot of people are taking Washington and the points, for no other reason than 'the Patriots can't go 16-0 against the spread this year'. Yes, yes they can. They covered in Dallas, and the Cowboys are a lot better than this Washington team.

I'm not picking them because Tarvaris Jackson is prominently involved, but watch for Ned Flanders (Brad Childress) to give the ball to Purple Jesus 25 times and for him to have a great game. I think it's coming...
