Week 4 picks

@ Atlanta over San Francisco
When a coach who likes to drop his pants for inspiration names a player captain (Vernon Davis) who was kicked off by said coach during a game two seasons ago, you know there's something wrong with your team.

NY Jets over @ Buffalo
When you cut the QB you started in week 1 after week 3, you know there's something wrong with your team. And despite their Hard Knocks appearance, it's getting easier and easier to dislike the Jets every week.

Cincinatti over @ Cleveland
I have to wonder what sports talk radio in Cleveland is like right now. Sports in Cleveland right now are probably worse than Philadelphia in the mid to late 90's. The Phillies were terrible, the Eagles were terrible, the Sixers were the Sixers, Flyers-one Stanley Cup appearance. Cleveland just lost their best (or second best behind Jim Brown) athlete of all-time in his prime. The Indians are awful and have nothing to hope for. And the Browns, first they leave for Baltimore and win a Super Bowl there, and now after coming back to the league, they've been atrocious. And there's very little hope there unless Colt McCoy turns into Bernie Kosar. I think they'd even take Tim Couch back right now. Just remember Cleveland, you're not Detroit.

@ Green Bay over Detroit
The only way the Packers lose this game is if they commit 18 penalties, drop two interceptions on the opponent's last drive, and fumble on their last drive, taking away $160 from me in the process. Oh wait.

@Tennessee over Denver
Josh McDaniels, give the people what they want. We want Vince Young vs Tim Tebow. We want 30 MINUTES FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES. God Bless.

Seattle over @St. Louis
Do I really want to pick the Seahawks on the road? No. But I already turned in my picks, so I'll take this one inevitable loss.

@New Orleans over Carolina
If you're in a suicide pool, this is probably the safest pick you'll get all season. If you're in a pool where you actually have to commit suicide if you lose, this is probably the safest pick you'll get all season.

Baltimore over @Pittsburgh
Charlie Batch can get it done against Tampa Bay's defense, but I don't think he'll have the same kinda luck against Baltimore. If the O/U on this game was 20, I'd probably take the under.

Houston over @ Oakland
Let the Houston hype machine start all over again after the pound the Raiders. You know after the way they lost last week, the Raiders have probably just given up on the season at this point.

Indianapolis over @ Jacksonville
Amazingly, Peyton Manning is off to the statistically best start of his career. Amazingly, the Jaguars might get 30,000 fans for this game. What is it with Florida fans? The Marlins don't get anybody, even when they're good. We've heard all week about how the Rays can't get anybody, even when they're about to win the AL East. I would imagine the Jaguars have the smallest fan base of any team in the NFL. Are there really that many more things to do in Florida? Besides being really hot and/or old?

@Philadelphia over Washington
I'm a bit worried about this game because a) Everyone's picking the Eagles b) Donovan, in general, played well against the NFC East.

But most of all, reason c) Karma is completely against the Eagles in this game.
In one corner, you have Donovan, who had haters in this town from the second his name was called by Paul Tagliabue. Who was criticized throughout his career for almost any reason possible (he runs too much, he doesn't run enough, he smiles too much, he chokes, he doesn't care about losing, he's inaccurate, he throws at the ground, he's not a leader, he's too goofy, he pukes, he ran T.O out of town, he's not a West Coast QB, A.J Feeley is better, Jeff Garcia is better, Kevin Kolb is better, I think that about covers it). Are some of those criticism justified? Sure, but by the way, he's only the best QB in franchise history.
In the other corner, you have Michael Vick. I won't get into it, but yeah, I would say karma favors the Redskins.

@ San Diego over Arizona
Picking San Diego before week 8 is never a good idea, but neither is picking a Derek Anderson led team on the road.

@ NY Giants over Chicago
Giants, you reeled me in again. At home, Sunday night, team desperate for a win against a team coming off a huge win. I hate you Giants.

New England over @ Miami
This game answer a lot of questions. Is New England still a top contender? Can Miami compete for a playoff spot? Why does Miami have back-to-back home primetime games? Can Tom Brady's hair get more feminine?

Last week: 11-5
Overall: 31-17
