Week Four Picks
Cincinnati +4 at PittsburghIt’s the games like these that I really just don’t want to think about or even try to pick. So I opt to my girlfriend instead. Beth thinks that until Cincy can get its running game going, but they are going to struggle behind the young arm of Carson Palmer. Beth’s Pick: Pitt
Indianapolis -4 at JacksonvilleJacksonville is taking the idea of winning “ugly” and running with it. I like that. It gives all of us ugly guys a glimmer of hope, that one day we can win too. Pick: Jacksonville
Oakland -2.5 at HoustonCheck out David Carr’s new hair. He’s got some serious locks under that helmet. What does that have to do with winning a football game? Absolutely nothing. But talking about hair is more exciting than talking about this game. Pick: David Carr’s Hair (Houston).
New England -5.5 at BuffaloNew England is still the best team in the NFL. Drew Bledsoe is still far from being an effective QB. It’s sad, I used to be big Drew fan, and then he decided to just forgot how to play football. Pick: Pats
Philadelphia -8.5 at ChicagoI am one of those believers that feel Rex Grossman’s injury only helps the Bears. I am positive Jonathan Quinn is the man that will lead them to a Super Bowl. That is until the Eagles kill him. Pick: Iggles
Washington -2.5 at ClevelandIs Joe Gibbs off limits? He did a horrible job coaching last Monday night and no one wanted to point it out. His misused timeouts and goal line decisions need to be critiqued more. However, they should bounce back against the ‘butterface’ Browns. (Butterface: nice uniform ugly helmet). Pick: Skins
NY Giants +7 at Green BayGreen Bay played one hell of a game last week. Unfortunately, it was against the can’t-do-anything-wrong Colts. They’ll bounce back nicely this week. Pick: Packers
Atlanta +3.5 at CarolinaOne hundred and fifteen yards passing and one pick. Only Vick can have that line and win the game. It did help that Atlanta was playing Arizona. This week will be a little tougher. Pick: Atlanta
New Orleans -3.5 at ArizonaI am taking all of money out of the bank and putting it on the Cardinals, an it’s because Dennis Green is not benching Josh McCown. Yep, it’s a good idea to keep a quarterback you can’t win with out on the field. Things can only get better. Right? Right? Anyone? Pick: New Orleans
NY Jets -5.5 at MiamiYou want to know the greatest thing about A.J. Feely? Miami gave up a second round pick for him. That’s like paying top dollar for Dave Coulier to do his routine at your wedding. Cut it out. Pick: Jets
Tennessee (off) at San DiegoI loved it when everyone looked at Drew Brees this preseason and thought he was poised for a monster comeback year. He did, after all, have the best passer rating. Oh, and then everyone remembered it was the preseason and he is Drew Brees. Moral: Bring in the rookie. Pick: Titans
Denver -3 at Tampa BayCan it get any worse for the Bucs? I am sure it will. And will Quentin Griffin please stop fumbling the ball so much and running directly into defenders. It’s not like I have him on my fantasy team or anything. I just want him to play better. Pick: Broncos
St. Louis -4 at San Francisco”And with the first pick in the 2005 draft, the 49ers select…”I don’t even think Mike Martz can screw this one up. Then again, don’t bet against Mike Martz being a bad coach. Pick: St. Louis
Kansas City +5.5 at BaltimoreIs it even possible that the Chiefs could drop to 0-4? Yes, it is. Kyle Boller is going to look like Joe Montana against this Chiefs D. Pick: Baltimore
