Well, after my correctly picking the proper winners to yesterday's college games, I got the idea to do a weekly thread here where people can post their predictions for the games each week. Yeah, its a little late this week, but no harm done. Pick who will win and why in whichever games you feel SURE about, so you can then be either praised for your genius, or lambasted for your stupidity.

Dont like football? Then STFU and move on to another thread. Here's this week's schedule, minus Thursday night's game w/ the Steelers and Fish.



Atlanta at Carolina
Baltimore at Tampa Bay
Buffalo at New England
Cincinnati at Kansas City
Denver at St. Louis
New Orleans at Cleveland
N.Y. Jets at Tennessee
Philadelphia at Houston
Seattle at Detroit
Chicago at Green Bay
Dallas at Jacksonville
San Francisco at Arizona
Indianapolis at N.Y. Giants
Minnesota at Washington
San Diego at Oakland
My Picks:

Chicago over Green Bay: Too much defense, Favre may actually be injured today. Look for Grossman to either light it up OR be benched. Kid is a bit bi-polar, there is no middle ground.

Tampa Bay over Baltimore: Steve McNair sucks and its time for the world to see that. He can still use the TE but he makes bad decisions and an opportunistic defense like Tampa's will expose this team. Also, Ray Lewis sucks now (He's always been overrated) and their defense has been figured out.

NY Jets over Tennessee: TN is an emberassment of a team weak at EVERY position except RB. The Jets will suck this year but TN will have the worst record in teh league.

Pitt might have won, but considering they're the defending champs and my Dolphins barely missed the playoffs, I'd say the two teams were way too close for the comfort of any Pitt fan.

And if they meet again in the playoffs, Miami will own them :D

Here's and Observation: Michael Vick is NOT an NFL QB. He sucks and last nites game was a perfect example. He cannot pass for **** and if you have a fast defense, they are useless. He should convert to WR and let Schaub QB if they want to win any serious games.
