Ravens @ Bengals - Gonna be a great close scoring game, Ravens secondary steps up, and Ray Rice is the difference in the game - Ravens win 30-20.
Chiefs @ Jaguars - MJD all day baby - Jags cruise 33-14.
Packers @ Bucs - Bucs are awful, Packers need to win, Rodgers is a beast = pack win it threw the air, Green Bay 24-10.
Dolphins @ Patriots - Brady and co come out and do there thing, Bill Belichick makes sure the wildcat doesn't work, and also the special teams lol - Pats win 31-17.
Texans @ Colts - Colts at home, manning outsmarts Houston's D, and the Colts D steps up - Colts win 28-20.
Cardinals @ Bears - Bears rolled last time out vs the browns so there feeling good, there at home, and the cards have been inconsistent - Bears win 23-17.
Panthers @ Saints - Saints just dont like to lose no matter what happens - Saints win 40-28.
Lions @ Seahawks - Big bounce back game for the Seahawks after a few bad weeks, there at home where they like to play, and lions are jus awful - Hawks win 28-7.
Chargers @ Giants - Huge game for both teams, pretty much a toss up but Giants looking real sluggish lately so im gonna with the hot chargers - SD wins 23-20.
Titans @ 49ers - Singletary makes sure the D stops johnson and the 49ers offense keeps it going - 9ers win 27-13.
Cowboys @ Eagles - You already kno who im going with, all i want to see at the end of this game is "Cowboys 1st place NFC east" - Boys win 33-30.
Steelers @ Broncos - Broncos offense experiences a REAL good D so they will struggle, Big Ben n co get there scores as they almost always do, and also i see the Pitt D forcing lots of turnovers - Steelers Roll 38-20.

[2K8]

Ravens @ Bengals - The ravens defense was finally good for once this season last week. I like the bengals a lot though, they completely steam rolled the bears, Cedric benson is a beast he ran over the Ravens before, chad johnson is playing like a probowler. I like the bengals in this.
Chiefs @ Jaguars - The jaguars performance last week was beyond pitiful, they lost to a team they previously beat by 20 points. They allowed an 89 yard run, this team is completely disoriented, Jones-drew might have a big night but David Gerrard will struggle. Matt Cassell has a big day..
Packers @ Bucs - well the bucs define brutal by any means
Dolphins @ Patriots- I love choosing the dolphins, mainly because of Ricky Williams, i can easily see this as an upset.
Texans @ Colts - The one week where Shaub is probably going to get stopped. Peytons gonna air it out all day.
Cardinals @ Bears - Well this is a must win for the bears somewhat.... they need to get on a winning streak, best place to do it is at home vs. the cards who played completely miserable last week.
Panthers @ Saints - Yea Saints look like they may go undefeated..
Lions @ Seahawks - I didnt think it was possible to lose to the Rams but matt stafford proves me wrong every week....
Chargers @ Giants - The giants secondary is a colossal mess, Rivers loves to air out the ball, i like the chargers strength vs. weakness matchup.
Titans @ 49ers- I like the Titans in this one, their def. riding some momentum after that beating they put on the jaguars, i think their defense is back and rejuvenated, i think they beat the 9ers....
Cowboys@ Eagles - Philly is most likely the 2nd best team in the NFC, their coming off a huge domination over NFC rivals who already beat the cowboys this season, the boys are on a roll but beating teams like the chiefs and seahawks isnt anything special... I see Philly winning 28-14...
Redskins @ Falcons- Well a surprise in this one, the skins defense is not that bad at all, their offense has a lot of potential to get going vs. the Falcons weak secondary..
Steelers @ Broncos - Broncos are gonna start a minor losing streak, now that their true faces have been exposed. Steelers should take this one.

[awww walshy]

Redskins @ Falcons - Falcons held their ground against the best team in the league.
Ravens @ Bengals - Ravens are back on track.
Chiefs @ Jaguars - MJD goes to town.
Packers @ Bucs - Rodgers rebounds and destroys the worst team in the league.
Dolphins @ Patriots - Upset woooo.
Texans @ Colts - I love Houston but Colts are still elite.
Cardinals @ Bears - The Cards have been killing me.
Panthers @ Saints - Saints are the best team in the league.
Lions @ Seahawks - Seahawks are actually sorta decent, the Lions not so much.
Chargers @ Giants - Giants rebound big.
Titans @ 49ers - Tough game, but the Niners pull it off.
Cowboys @ Eagles - Cowboys are talented but they aren't good.
Steelers @ Broncos - See 2005-2006 AFC Championship Game.

Redskins @ Falcons - They got their **** together over the bye, and will surprise the Falcons
Ravens @ Bengals - Ravens have the best second half offense in the league... Bengals gonna get the jump on them
Chiefs @ Jaguars -
Packers @ Bucs - This week and next(cowboys) is huge for the Packers.. they either lay down and concede that they cant make the playoffs or they come out and play to beat Brett in the playoffs
Dolphins @ Patriots - Bye week rule
Texans @ Colts -
Cards @ Bears - Tough.. Cards are the epitome of hot and cold... last week they were cold.. this week they are hot?
Panthers @ [B]Saints[/B - Bet on the Saints till they lose
Lions @ Seahawks - I had high hopes for seattle at the start of the year....
Chargers @ Giants - Will the deep passing game expose the Giants Secondary again? I hope so
Titans @ 49ers - Alex Smith is the better bust
Cowboys @ Eagles - I don't rate the eagles at all
Steelers @ Broncos - Every time we say Broncos cant win... they do

[Melo_Man]

Redskins @ Falcons - Redskins' D isn't that bad,but Falcons lost last week,so it's time to bounce back.
Ravens @ Bengals - They won on the road,I don't see a reason they won't take the W at home.
Chiefs @ Jaguars - Mighty Mouse to run all over them.
Packers @ Bucs - .................
Dolphins @ Patriots - Upset of the week,I believe the Wildcat will work on all cilinders.
Texans @ Colts - Another upset,Texans defense to have a solid game,and on the other side...well...Andre Johnson.
Cardinals @ Bears - As much as I want the Bears to win,I'm sure the Cardinals will make up for that awful performance vs Carolina
Panthers @ Saints - Jake Delhomme vs Sharper & Porter..that doesn't sound too good.
Lions @ Seahawks - .....................
Chargers @ Giants - Both teams are overrated,but Giants will take this one.
Titans @ 49ers - Crabtree to have his first NFL touchdown,Frankie to run all over them.Also,the best linebacker in the game will make sure Chris Johnson doesn't have a field day.
Cowboys @ Eagles - Tony Romo hasn't been picked off for 2 or 3 games in a row.Well,it's time for a bad game.
Steelers @ Broncos - IMO they'll pull another close one.

I'd like to call this an upset week, but I look at it and the upset picks have to win on the road. So maybe not upset week

But I do believe the Panthers have a decent shot of going into New Orleans and coming out victorious if we can keep the run game going with d-will and stewart we can control the clock and keep the ball out of drew brees hands

People are so high on the saints i think it's time they show a ch!nk in their armor

[Crippa]

Washington Redskins @ Atlanta Falcons
Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals
Kansas City Chiefs @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Green Bay Packers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Miami Dolphins @ New England Patriots
Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts
Arizona Cardinals @ Chicago Bears
Carolina Panthers @ New Orleans Saints
Detroit Lions @ Seattle Seahawks
San Diego Chargers @ New York Giants
Tennessee Titans @ San Fransisco 49ers
Dallas Cowboys @ Philadelphia Eagles
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Denver Broncos

Few interesting games this week, with the Chargers & Giants, Steelers & Broncos, and Dolphins & Patriots. I'll be sure to try and tune into those games during the weekend, that Monday Night game is going to be a real exciting one.

As for us, I just hope we don't fall over and die like we did against Oakland. We are such an inconsistent team, much of our games are either hit or miss, so I'm just hoping for some consistency and against a divisional rival like Dallas, I hope we step it up.

For those members that are participating in the MNF Pick'em game (the members who are in the running for 5,000 points) just remember that you don't have to post your pick in that thread if you have already done so here. Make sure you post them somewhere though!

Actually they're not, they are second. Maybe it's just you, but do you realize how overrated the Cowboys are?

They have had a weak schedule also.

Wins vs Bucs, Panthers, Chiefs (OT), Falcons (legit win), Seahawks.

There only legit win has been vs the Falcons, they lost to the Giants and Broncos who are real teams.
