There is nothing I love more than NFL Football( daughter excluded). So for my fellow football fans this will be my weekly feature with my thoughts and predictions for the weeks games. I must provide a little history on my football gambling, In grade 8 I won the NFL pool 2 times at the largest sports bar in Edmonton, I did the picks for my mom

. So my football ego is very large

Arizona at Pittsburgh

At 2-6 I still like the Steelers chances of winning the division, how you say. One they are going to win this week and two Baltimore has St.Louis,Miami and Seattle in the next three weeks, with the only game I can see them winning being the Seattle game. It's a must win Game for Cower and they'll do so 31-13

Chicago at Detroit

Hmmmm, Chicago is 3-5, Detroit is 2-6, the Bears have scored 141 points and the Lions have 140. The Lions have given up 197, while the Bears have give up 199....ah shit give me the bears 19-16 someone has to win right?

Cleveland at Kansas City

In a perfect world KC would lose and this Bronco fan could find something to smile about this bye week, the only thing perfect after this weekend is the 9-0 Chiefs. 38-17

Houston at Cincinnati

Cincy wins, if you'd like my reason read the Steelers prediction again but this time everytime I say Steelers place "Bengals". 24-14

Indianapolis at Jacksonville

7-1 vs 1-7 and no this isn't my upset of the week, I'll get to that later. Indy 38-10

Miami at Tennessee

Miami is perfect on the road this year and needs to win to keep pace with the surging Pats, won't happen this week. McNair is too good to let this important game slip for the Titans. The difference will be turnovers, of which Griese will cause 3, 2 fumbles and 1 int. Titans win a tight one 16-13

Seattle at Washington

I wish Seattle would decide which team they are, the ones that beat the Rams and Niners or the ones who lose in the Desert to the Cards. This game will come down to the simple fact that the skins can't get any pressure on Hasselbeck due to having the worst D-line in football(even though I played football with Jermaine Haley who starts at DT for them, sorry Jermaine) and the Skins don't even know if Spurrier will be around next week. Seattle gets a good road win 27-17

Tampa Bay at Carolina

I can't figure either of these teams out, nor do I have anything witty to say. I'm taking the Bucs because they are 3-1 on the road and a win here places them only 1 back of the Panthers, the same Panthers who are 6-2 despite only scoring a total of 12 more points than the opponents this year. Bucs win 16-10

Minnesota at San Diego

Flutie Flakes anyone, if Doug starts this is my upset of the week, so you get two scores for this game one with Doug and one without. With Flutie Bolts win 31-28, without they lose 35-6, yes 6!!!

Buffalo at Dallas

If Dallas does one thing well it's play tough, hard, agressive D. Which is bad news for the Bills who do about as bad a job as any team in the league at protecting their QB. Bledsoe will get hit and then he'll get hit and then he'll probably get hit some more. Between getting hit all those times he'll fumble and probably throw a few picks. Dallas wins quite easy 27-14

N.Y. Jets at Oakland

Oh the drama, the playoff rematch game from last year. Problems is the Raiders are old, slow and when they aren't beating each other up in practice they are doing so in the media. The Jets missed a huge chance to get back in the race last week, 3-5 with a healthy Pennington would have been reason to hope in the AFC east where they do a great job of beating each other up. That Chance was blown when Edwards sent Brien out to kick a 52 yard field goal, Brien was at one time a great kicker with a great leg, but he hasn't hit a field goal longer than 43 yards since 2000 and hasn't hit one over 50 yards since 99. Granted I just found that out earlier but Herman should have known it prior. Jets win 28-21

Baltimore at St. Louis

I don't know why but I just don't respect the Ravens, I know the D is good and yes they beat my broncos but they just don't have the feel of a playoff team, let alone a division winner. The Rams are another Jekyll and Hyde team who have too much talent to be so up and down. They'll stack the house to stop Jamal Lewis knowing Boller won't beat them and it'll be enough to get a well earned win 28-17

Philadelphia at Green Bay

Great game for MNF, philly has won 3 in a row and will overtake Dallas at some point this season, but it won't start here. Favre and the boys are starting to play well and they know the Vikes are human now. The biggest factor will be Green who is the most underrated player in the league, wait there's my theme for this game " the most overrated vs the most underrated"

Pack wins a good one 24-20

Almost forgot hence the edit

Atlanta at N.Y Giants

Worst team in the league will get eaten up by a hot Kerry Collins. G-men 31-10

“Don’t tell me about the pain, just show me the baby”

Bill Parcells 1999
