PrintHere we go Steelers, here we go! Winners, as always, in bold.
Atlanta over Cincinnati: Falcons are just too good to bow down for the Queen City Kitties.
Chicago over Washington: Much as I hate to admit it, Jay Cutler has found his place in The Windy City. Plus, the Skins have McChoke.
Philadelphia over Tennessee: The Iggles look tough this year without Vick. Plus, Young has looked pretty mediocre so far.
Kansas City over Jacksonville: This should be one of the "Derp" picks of the week. The Jags aren't "wowing" anyone, and The Chefs have looked superb so far. Even in the loss to Indy, they came close to stopping the Manning "juggernaut".
Pittsburgh over Miami: I'm not even going to bother putting the reasons the Steelers win this year. They win because I say so. :)
New Orleans over Cleveland: I thought about picking this the other way for one of my "upsets", but I think the Saints can do enough to squeak this one.
St. Louis over Tampa Bay: I really think the Bucs have what it takes to win...Next year. They are missing some key pieces that may be available in this draft. Besides, There's no way the Bucs can contain Stephen Jackson.
San Francisco over Carolina: Yikes. This one could bounce either way. These teams combined record is 1-10. I picked SF because I think the win over the Bay Area Rivals last Sunday will spark them to jump out to a commanding 2-5 record. This game could very well set an NFL record for most turnovers.
Baltimore over Buffalo: The only thing The Bills have right now is BJ Speller. This should be another bye week for the Ratbirds.
Seattle over Arizona: All of a sudden, the She-hawks are coming alive, and winning a game away from Qwest field. The NFC West is such a horrible division, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Rams win it this year.
Denver over Oakland: This could go either way for me, so, once again, I'll give the victory to Mile High Stadium, or whatever the hell they call it these days.
San Diego over New England: As much as I hate both these teams, the Chargers lead the league on offense. You read that right. With the cheatriots defense sucking harder than...Well, make your own joke here, this should be an almost blow out for the Bolts.
Minnesota over Green Bay: The running game will decide this one, and since the Packers don't have even the ghost of one, AP will be the hero for the Vikes.
New York (Giants) over Dallas: As much as I hate anything Manning, I hate the Cowpatties more. Besides, Romo just plain sucks.
Well, there you have it folks, my picks for this weekend. Leave yours in comments, tell me how stupid I am for picking this team over that one, whatever, but most importantly, Have fun!

Sorry, that should be MIN over GB.

Here we go...
Atlanta over Cincinnati: Agree. The Falcons had a big let-down in Philly. Now back at home…they’ll send the Bengals into irrelavancy. Book it. Falcons by at least 10.
Chicago over Washington: Agree. Not by much though. Washington seems to just hang around somehow and eke out wins. Cutler has been getting pummelled this year so far…if the Skins can get to him as much as everyone else…you never know. Still though…Da Bears by 6.
Philadelphia over Tennessee: Disagree. The Birds’ O-line leaves much to be desired. This is the week it catches up to Kolb. Chris Johnson gets more than a stat padding TD. Titans by 7.
Kansas City over Jacksonville: Agreed . JAX just sux. Even though Garrard has been putting up some decent (fantasy) numbers lately, not this week. KC lost a tough one in Texas last week. They’ll be pumped up to kick some Jagass. KC by 12.
Pittsburgh over Miami: Agreed. Nuff said. Stillers by 13.
New Orleans over Cleveland: For the love of God….Agreed. Brownies do not stand a chance. They don’t even sit a chance. Narlins by 17.
St. Louis over Tampa Bay: I have no idea on this one. Guess I’ll give it to TB since they’re at home. So that means I disagree! TB by 2.
San Francisco over Carolina: No idea. I guess I agree. I think SF has some good talent. Maybe they’re primed to finally win one. Niners by 6.
Baltimore over Buffalo: AGREE. Bills suck. Ravens lost last week and they’re home. They are gonna kick the snot outta the Bills. Ravens by 28.
Seattle over Arizona: Agreed. PC has the Hawks believin’. Plus….Steelers West ain’t what they used to be. Seahawks by 9. By the way, what sound does a Seahawk make??
Denver over Oakland: Nope. The Raiders roll into Denver and pull off an upset. Bush and McFadden are gonna have a day against the 25th ranked rusing D. OAK by 10.
San Diego over New England: Disa-friggin-gree. The Chargers have a bunch of injuries and Rivers is a whiney beeyotch. Unfortunately, the Patriots are the rill dill this year. Pats by 23.
Minnesota over Green Bay: Agree. GB is all banged up. Minny goes for 3 or 4 TDs in the air. Hopefully all of them are to Harvin and Moss (maybe I have them in my fantasy league…so…). Vikes by 13.
New York (Giants) over Dallas: Agree. Dallas just chokes. I laugh every time I hear “America’s Team.” We all know who the original team (sort of) was. NY football Giants by 4.
"I was in the right place at the right time. It was zone coverage, and he ran through my zone...That was a good, clean, legal hit. I put my head across the bow. To be honest, I laid off him a little bit. I could have put a lot more into him." -James Harrison on the Massaquoi hit
On the Cribbs hit: "I thought Cribbs was asleep," Harrison said. "A hit like that geeks you up, especially when you find out the guy is not really hurt, he's just sleeping. He's knocked out but he's going to be OK."
The Cheats have one of the WORST pass defenses in the league
Sittin’ somewheres around 28th. Bitch-boy Rivers should light dem kids up.
The sound a She-hawk makes is “Whine! Bitch-bitch! Refs! Bitch-bitch! Whine!”.
The Bucs run D is terrible. Stephen Jackson should come close to the 200 mark.
CJ2YPC isn’t the be-all end-all. Not even he can carry a team all by his lonesome. Hell, if Barry Sanders, Stephen Jackson, Jerome Bettis, blah blah blah, couldn’t do it…

Bolts
I think the Chargers are running out of people who can run patterns and catch footballs. I think the Pats get lucky.

but it worked
because I am good for positive reinforcement so it wasn’t really a fail!

Hey, Steel Spike
As much as I hate anything Manning, I hate the Cowpatties more. Besides, Romo just plain sucks.
I couldn’t have said that better myself, bro.
My 5-year old daughter even hates the Ravens.

Disagreements
Cinci over ATL, if Dunta is out, I think Batman and Robin can have a big game
Redskins over Bears, the Bears kind of suck
Tenn over Philly, their defense is too good
NE over SD…the Chargers are not good and their best offensive target is questionable with a gimp ankle
GB over Minn…Favre has been awful this year, I like GB by at least 2 touchdowns
"I'm from Maryland, and no one can beat me!"
Didn't realize Dunta was out
until about 10 minutes ago but I would still take Atl unless Palmer remembers how to find a receiver and actually throw the ball where they can catch it.

It simply amazes me how good the Bengals are at shooting them-self in the paw

Upsets and Tums Games
1 case of Tums to the Browns fans. NO is going to destroy you.
Philly over TN~ Britt not starting and Philly pissed. Soar Eagles Soar. Beat those wanna-be’s and make their fans realize their Titan’s aren’t all that and a bag of pork skins.
Vikes over GB: Could go either way, but I sure do like AP!
Bottom line: I just hope I do a little better this week…
When the tailgate drops, the BS stops. Shut up and play!
