Week 11 Picks

Off to a good start...

@Miami over Chicago
To prove I don't cheat on my Thursday night picks, yes I picked the Dolphins last night.  Maybe I put too much trust on Tyler Thigpen, but you can't overrate the greatest QB in Coastal Carolina history.

@Cincinnati over Buffalo
About the only team I would pick the Bengals to beat right now is the Bills.

@Dallas over Detroit
Although I get the sneaky feeling that after playing well last week, the Cowboys will completely blow it this week.

@Tennessee over Washington
We've since found out that it's not true, but when I saw that Donovan got a contract extension with $40 million guaranteed, I thought it might have been the worst contract in the history of sports.  It's not quite that bad anymore since the Redskins apparently won't owe him anything if (when) they cut him after this season.

@Kansas City over Arizona
Are the wheels falling off the Chiefs bandwagon?  If they lose again this week, the wagon is completely blown up.

Green Bay over @Minnesota
A tough one to pick, but I get the feeling the Vikings have just about given up on both Favre and Childress.  By the way, if someone else refers to Childress as "Chilly" one more time, I'm going to Drew Brees-flip a table.

@ NY Jets over Houston
Remember when the Texans beat the Colts and they were one of the best teams in the NFL? Whoops.

@Pittsburgh over Oakland
The start of the Raiders becoming the Raiders again.

Baltimore over @Carolina
Brian St. Pierre is starting at QB for the Panthers.  Against the Ravens defense.  Sorry Carolina, at least you still have Duke.

@Jacksonville over Cleveland
Reason #3029478029384 why NFL RedZone is awesome.  Seeing the end of the Jaguars/Texans game live last week.  With Gus Johnson on commentary.  One of my favorite football moments of all time.

Atlanta over @ St. Louis
I picked the Falcons to win the Super Bowl last week.  So they'll probably lose to the Rams this week.

@ New Orleans over Seattle
No they haven't played well this year, but it would be unwise to count out the Saints.  With no dominant team in the NFC, they still have the potential to be the best.

@San Francisco over Tampa Bay
Another tough game to pick this week.  The 49ers are playing better under Troy Smith, but you have to wonder how long that will last.  And we still don't know how good the Bucs are.  Despite their record, they haven't beat too many good teams.  I'll go with the home team.

@ New England over Indianapolis
Because the Patriots are just playing better right now, and the Colts are beyond banged up.

@Philadelphia over NY Giants
Let down game?  Maybe, and it would be hard to pick the Eagles in New York in this situation.  But at home on a Sunday night, I'm feeling pretty confident.

@San Diego over Denver
Because the Chargers annual undefeated run to make the playoffs and then lose in the first round begins now.

Last week: 7-7
Overall: 88-57
