(1.5) Buffalo at Detroit. Correct.

Like I’ve said before, every team has to win at least one game per season, except for maybe the Raiders.

 

Carolina at Baltimore (3.5). Incorrect.

I should have known better that one little injury to a starter isn’t going to stop the Panthers. Well, unless that person injured is Steve Smith.

 

(6.5) Cincinnati at Tampa Bay. Incorrect.

Wow. Not only did the Bengals fail to cover, but they actually lost the game.

 

Houston at Dallas (13.5). Correct.

If the Cowboys just played teams from Texas, or teams that used to call the Lonestar State home, they’d be unstoppable. But then again, which team wouldn’t be?

 

N.Y. Giants at Atlanta (3.5). Correct.

I don’t even remember picking the Giants. While I’m on this subject, Tiki Barber recently announced that this may be his last year playing in the NFL. While I’ve heard many people on ESPN saying, “Noooooo, stay a few more years and you'll be a sure-fire Hall of Famer,” I say good for Tiki. I actually thought this would be the season where his skills plummet and his body breaks down from years of wear and tear. It looks like I’m probably wrong in guessing this was the year Barber crashes and burns, but being a running back in your early 30s usually means it’s time to see that light at the end of the tunnel. I’m sure Barber knows his own body better than any of us, and if he wants to go out on top of his game, then I say good for him. Let’s see him and someone like Jerome Bettis or Eddie George 30 years from now try to walk up a flight of steps and then decide who make the best choice regarding knowing when to leave the NFL playing field. Then again this could all be a big scam for him to get more money out of his contract. If that's the case, then fuck him. Nah, I can't hate a brotha for wanting to get paid.

 

(3.5) Philadelphia at New Orleans. Incorrect.

Nuts. The Eagles were prime for an upset, what with their big win against Dallas the week before. Oh well. The Saints earned this one. Goof for them.

 

(3.5) Seattle at St. Louis. Incorrect.

Shit. Seattle won, but didn’t cover. That’s a loss to me. Bastards.

 

Tennessee at Washington (10.5). Correct.

Damn, I was expecting this game to be close, but I didn’t Tennessee would win. Guess Washington is in more trouble that I originally thought.

 

Kansas City at Pittsburgh (6.5). Incorrect.

Ouch. This one hurt almost as much as that tackle Larry Johnson put on Troy Polamalu by throwing him down by the hair. And what was Johnson supposed to do – let Troy run in for the touchdown? If your hair is down to the point where it covers the name on the back of your jersey, then it’s fair game.

 

Miami at N.Y. Jets (2.5). Correct.

As every week passes, it’s more and more amazing to think that Miami was predicted to be a Super Bowl contender. Well, they could always win their last seven games. Again.

 

(10.5) San Diego at San Francisco. Correct.

It’s so much better being on the winning end of a lopsided game than having it be the other way.

 

Oakland at Denver (15.5). Incorrect.

Denver may have “lost,” but Oakland still keeps that perfect record in tact.

 

(11.5) Chicago at Arizona. Incorrect.

Talk about a meltdown. I turned on the television and saw the last play of the third quarter. (Or was it second-to-last? No matter.) Seeing Matt Leinart get sacked and the Chicago defense taking the fumbled ball in for a touchdown got me thinking that this game could be interesting to watch. I was right. Oakland may be the worst team out there, but the Cardinals are the most pathetic franchise in the NFL and one of the worst in all of sports. Then again, they got a new stadium and will make a buttload of cash, so who cares what the on-field product is like when you got a phat check coming in thanks to revenue sharing?

 

This week’s record: 6-7. Cumulative record: 40-47.

 

Hey, I’m only a touchdown’s worth of picks behind. The Bears made up more than that in the fourth quarter of their game Monday night, and I’m only headed into Week 7. Oh who am I kidding? This is only going to get worse.
