4. Are you kidding me, 11-3 and I am still in second to last

Man my picks the first few weeks really sucked.

Anyway, here are this weeks picks

Atlanta over Miami (not even close)

Cincinnati over Baltimore
Detroit over Minnesota
Jacksonville over Houston
Kansas City over Oakland
San Diego over NY Jets (another blow out)
Cleveland over Tennessee (I find it hard to like Dilfer, but...)
New Orleans over Chicago (they have to win in Baton Rouge, right?)
NY Giants over San Francisco (The giants offense is incredible)
Seattle over Arizona
Pittsburgh over Green Bay (even without Big Ben)
Washington over Philly (Which Redskins team shows up)
Indianapolis over New England (Imagine if the Pats don't make the playoffs)

[KitchenWitch]

5. My picks

Atlanta (are you kidding me?)
Carolina (they are the real deal)
Cincinnati (Good offense over good defense)
Minnesota (I can hope can't I?)
Jacksonville (The blind squirrel has already received its nut)
Kansas City (hunch)
San Diego (LT)
Tennessee (Cleveland just plain sucks this year)
New Orleans (Hopefully it is finally Haslett's week)
NYGiants (Eli is looking like the full package)
Seattle (Holmgren versus Green)
Pittsburgh (Favre should have retired at the end of last season)
Philadelphia (Washington still smarts after being smacked)
New England (Peyton is not going to win at New England this year)

[KitchenWitch]

13. I am revising my pick, with the change in T.O.'s status

Washington over Philadelphia

[Mojambo]

16. ...And we have picked the exact same slate this week! n/t

I guess great minds think alike.

:)

I had a hunch that Green Bay might be fixin' for an upset. Maybe I'll change my pick there, just to be different.

[KitchenWitch]

17. Up to you!

I actually like my picks this week...I did not like my picks last week.

And I picked Minnesota in part because at least in Brad Johnson, there is a Superbowl winning QB, versus, the committee of QBs over in Detroit.

[trotsky]

6. Hey, you forgot to tally in my picks from last week!

I think I went 8-6, but please double-check.

Picks for this week:

Atlanta
Tampa Bay
Cincinnati
Minnesota
Jacksonville
KC
San Diego
Cleveland
Chicago
NY Giants
Seattle
Pittsburgh
Philly
Indy (Peyton finally gets his win in Foxboro)
