I was going to write all my reasons behind my picks like I did last week, but I didn't have the patience. If I had I would have noted that I was going to take the Bengals over the Chiefs but then Chad Johnson decided he would tell the world his bengals would win, so now my upset is no longer chic and the chiefs will have a little chip on their shoulders. If he would have just kept his mouth shut then maybe the bengals could have pulled a suprise out, now instead everyone in the football world is talking about his prediction and how good the bengals are playing...won't happen. And as far as the Chiefs remaining games you are forgetting their trip to Mile High to play the Broncos, who will still be a little banged up but will have Plummer back. If you remember back to their first meeting we wouldn't even be talking about the undefeated Chiefs if the broncos didn't kick to Hall in the 4th quarter, and don't even get me started on the two clipping calls the refs missed on that play(yes I'm a bronco fan). Skins don't win this week because they can't stop the run, something Carolina does very well, and you have to remember Spurrier let Davis go in February. The skins only have 930 yards rushing as a team this year, Davis has 992 alone and he's missed 1.5 games due to injury. Davis will get his revenge this week and probably 150 yards<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Agreed, the Chad Johnson prediction was dumb and is the only thing that would stop me from making my own prediction, but I still think the Bengals will be the first team to beat them. I thought of the Broncos as one of the others but even with Plummer back I don't think the Broncos can do it because Broncos are a different team now who lost their rhythm from the 1st 4 games. Revenge would be sweet and the good thing is they will be playing at mile high, but it does depend on Plummer getting back to form over the next 3 games. Your next 3 games aren't that tough, so I think you can add 3 to the win column. Personally, I thought the Broncos picking up Plummer was the worst idea but he proved me wrong in the beginning of the season, so we will see if he proves me wrong again. Trust me, I know all about bad calls Giants-49ners last year

. As far the skins- getting rid of Davis was flat out dumb, but I only pick 'em because it is a must win for them to stay alive, even if they are at Carolina and Davis wants to stick it to Spurrier. But I will probably lose this one because whenever I place a bet which is not often I lose, which is why I don't place bets often.
