Sunday
Carolina at Tampa Bay even tho i said that Carolina was going to the super bowl, they haven't showed me anything yet
Chicago at Minnesota just because they haven't beat my lions yet and i am a brad Johnson fan
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh come on...do you really think that pits D can stop Carson, chad and rudi?
Green Bay at Detroit i have no idea...i want the lions to win but farve is going to have a feild day
Jacksonville at Indianapolis Peyton is the greatest quarterback out there..that hasn't won a super bowl ha ha. he will pick apart this D because he is much better the Ben.
N.Y. Jets at Buffalo this one is tough, jets have an awesome air game but the bills D incredible.
Tennessee at Miami i hate to do that but Tenn is going to win by a field goal in the 5 thing of overtime when the score was tied 0-0
Washington at Houston Washington will start the season 0-3. Houston is actually a good team, they just aren't good enough to beat any of the really good teams, a.k.a every one in their division. Washington will have trouble on offence and their weak dbs will hurt them.
Baltimore at Cleveland in the clash of the same team..the better, by soooooooooo much, will win
N.Y. Giants at Seattle LETS GO ELI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Philadelphia at San Francisco hey San Fran is good this year. they are 1-1..isn't that more games then they won last year? ha ha No but they are actually doing things this year....they will win by one.
St. Louis at Arizona edge, warner, Fitzgerald, bouldin how can you go wrong.
Denver at New England their troubles will be over this week.

Monday
Atlanta at New Orleans atls D is good but Brees and bush are better. and plus...i don't like Vick


Notre Dame at MSU not because i am a homer but i think that ND is overrated

Sunday
Carolina at Tampa Bay
Third time's the charm, go Panthers.
Chicago at Minnesota
Chicago's offense is starting to click.
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh
Tough one to pick. Pittsburgh on the rebound against the injured Bengals.
Green Bay at Detroit
Not much too say about either team.
Jacksonville at Indianapolis
This one could come back to bite me, Jacksonville is starting to scare me.
N.Y. Jets at Buffalo
Buffalo has the better all-around team.
Tennessee at Miami
Hard to pick Tennessee with their QB situation (I'm not a big VY fan, although I did want Texas to win last year).
Washington at Houston
If only Houston had picked Reggie Bush...
Baltimore at Cleveland
Baltimore keeps rolling.
N.Y. Giants at Seattle
Another tough pick, but Seattle has the better team.
Philadelphia at San Francisco
San Francisco is another team that scares me.
St. Louis at Arizona
Another tough one to pick, hopefully St. Louis learns something called ball-control.
Denver at New England
New England's running game outlasts Denver's.

Monday
Atlanta at New Orleans
Sorry Louisiana, Atlanta is going to spoil your homecoming party.

wow, don't you over look those saints this year...

Vick isnt as good as people think he is.
And he showed it last night.

[santosh]

I am pretty sure that his completion percentage was pretty low becuae of those dropped passes. Alge Crumpler dropped one in the endzone while he was wide open. Our punt team let a touchdown go.
I will say that they did somewhat shut down the run, but IMHO, he didn't run enough. There were many opportunities where he could have run where he didn't. They beat the Falcon's fair and square, but it doesnt mean that Vick is a bad QB and it doenst mean it was his fault either.

[xzvrw2]

Thats your opinion.
I think that running QBs are not good at all.
being able to scramble is good yes.
but when you have more running yards then passing, there is something wrong there.

It's all just a different strategy and style of play. It's not wrong to play the game like that. They do quite well most of the time actually.

Also - Colts are awesome. Indianapolis won and had a lot of players that weren't able to play due to injury, shows just how great they are.

How many years in a row does Vick need to be a terrible passer until the mystique disappears and reality sets in?--Vick is a glorified RB and not a QB

He's had a rating of over 80 only once.

He's had an inordinately high number of turnovers, between fumbles and picks

His best completion percentage is 56%, which is pretty bad. Especially in the WCO which is based on high percentage passes.

[Logan Byers]

Here's my $0.02

Vick is a great athlete. I doubt there is anyone who can argue that he isn't.
I agree that he is closer to a RB than a QB. a QB is most often a passer first and a runner second. What makes me think Vick is not a good QB is the fact that he can't learn/run a Pro-style offense. He doesn't/can't fit in the WCO. The Falcons have had to draw up some college-level plays for him to run. Now, to Vick's defense, his WR's are young and have underperformed. TE Alge Crumpler is probably his best pass receiver.
Either way, no matter what I think, the Falcons seem to find ways to win their fair share of games. And in the end, winning is all that matters in Pro sports.
