Oakland @ San Diego
Chicago @ New England
NY Giants @ Tennessee
Philadelphia @ Indianapolis

MNF Game:
Green Bay @ Seattle

Thanksgiving Games:
Miami @ Detroit
Miami finally looking like the super bowl picks they were suppose to be, but I don’t expect Harrington to feel too comfortable back home.
Tampa Bay @ Dallas
I don’t think the Bucs have much of a chance here.
Denver @ Kansas City
LT and the Chargers proved you could run the ball on Denver. Watch LJ win this one for KC.

Sunday Games:
Arizona @ Minnesota
I don’t trust Minnesota anymore.
Carolina @ Washington
Carolina’s D will make it really hard for the 'skins to win.
Cincinnati @ Cleveland
Cleveland’s got potential, just give them a couple more years.
Houston @ NY Jets
Houston’s finally stepping up, but the Jets still win.
Jacksonville @ Buffalo
Their defense may be banged up, but they found/have good replacements. Another win for the Jags.
New Orleans @ Atlanta
the Falcons win round 2.
Pittsburgh @ Baltimore
Cowher really needs to contemplate benching Roethlisburger soon.
San Francisco @ St. Louis
Frank Gore is a beast at RB. This one could be a nice shoot-out.
Oakland @ San Diego
If LT can run on the Denver D, he can definitely run all over Oakland.
Chicago @ New England
New England’s D will keep them in the game, but their Offense is their downfall.
NY Giants @ Tennessee
The titans scare me every week, but I’m still picking against them.
Philadelphia @ Indianapolis
Would have been a contest if McNabb were still around…

MNF Game:
Green Bay @ Seattle
Favre may play, but that still doesn’t change the outcome.

Miami @ Detroit
Miami has looked sort of good as of late, but meh. Besides, Harrington is going to have an evening filled with flashbacks of horribleness.
Tampa Bay @ Dallas
I’ll go with the home team.
Denver @ Kansas City
Home team again.

Sunday Games:
Arizona @ Minnesota
Once again, home team.
Carolina @ Washington
Whoops - going with away. But only because they’re better at playing football.
**Cincinnati ** @ Cleveland
I think this will actually be closer than one would guess.
Houston @ NY Jets
Say what you want, I still like Pennington.
Jacksonville @ Buffalo
Jacksonville’s hard to figure out - they’ve got a Jekyll/Hyde thing going this year.
New Orleans @ Atlanta
Brees and Vick - which is the better quarterback? uh…if this is even a question, you shouldn’t be picking.
Pittsburgh @ Baltimore
Stealers are kind of like the Jags
San Francisco @ St. Louis
Rams at home.
Oakland @ San Diego
Good news for Oakland: Brooks is back. Bad news for Oakland: Brooks is back.
Chicago @ New England
Rexy tears up a suspect NE secondary.
NY Giants @ Tennessee
Eli is a whiny baby, but Tiki rules.
Philadelphia @ Indianapolis
No disrespect to Mr. Garcia, but he’s no Donovan McNabb.

MNF Game:
Green Bay @ Seattle
Brett Favre brings it on a Monday night.

Miami @ Detroit just cuz i always do

Denver @ **Kansas City **LT and LJ just one letter off

Sunday Games:
Arizona @ Minnesota they are actually decent
Carolina @ Washington they are backon the rise
Cincinnati @ Cleveland and so are they
Houston @ **NY Jets **as much as i love houston…the jets are better
Jacksonville @ Buffalo they are on a roll from last week…hey maybe the lions can get leftwich next year haha
New Orleans @ Atlanta brees is just awesome this year
Pittsburgh @ **Baltimore **no contest here
San Francisco @ St. Louis i think that they are finnaly starting to turn it around there
Oakland @ **San Diego **hahahahahahaha
Chicago @ **New England **brady gets man when people say hes on the fall
NY Giants @ Tennessee the g-man are going to bounce back
Philadelphia @ **Indianapolis **even if mcnabb was there then they would still lose

MNF Game:
Green Bay @ Seattle didnt they already play once this year? hahah

Thanksgiving Games:
**Miami **@ Detroit
I’m picking Miami, they’re starting to roll, and Kitna is the 1 TD 1 INT, I’m not impressed.

Tampa Bay @ Dallas
WIth the way Big D is playing, I’m expecting them to challenge Chi town for The NFC

Denver @ Kansas City
I think Denver would be too beat down after their pummeling Sunday, plus Green is getting back into stride.

Sunday Games:
**Arizona **@ Minnesota
After Minnesota’s loss last week, I think that’ll carry over, as long Leinhart keeps it together.

**Carolina **@ Washington
This one is a toss up, it all depends on which Carolina shows up

**Cincinnati **@ Cleveland
I just don’t see Cleveland beating Cinci in a shootout.

Houston @ NY Jets
Again a toss up, but I give the slight edge to the J-E-T-S jets jets jets

Jacksonville @ Buffalo
After the whooping they put on the G-Men, they should roll over the Bills.

New Orleans @ Atlanta
They beat them once this season, they can do it again.

Pittsburgh @ Baltimore
Depends on if Pittsburgh can get it together.

**San Francisco **@ St. Louis
San Fran is playing with some heart, and St Louie doesn’t seem to have much left in the tank.

Oakland @ San Diego
After the way Da Raiders were humiliated on MNF San Diago should be able to repeat.

**Chicago **@ New England
Again this is a toss up, but if Brady has the same showing like he did with Indy, Chicago should take this one.

NY Giants @ Tennessee
Tennessee put a thwomping on Philly last week, and Giants haven’t been good in a few weeks.

Philadelphia @ Indianapolis
Without McNabb, the Eagles won’t be flying so high, plus Peyton would want to get the loss out of his system.

MNF Game:
Green Bay @ Seattle
IF Hasslebeck is healthy, and Alexander can run, i don’t think it’s a contest.

Thanksgiving Games:
Miami @ Detroit- Toss-up
Tampa Bay @ Dallas- As much as I dislike them, they are playing pretty well
**Denver **@ Kansas City- Too good to go down again

Sunday Games:
Arizona @ Minnesota- Leinart is good, but…
**Carolina **@ Washington- Picking up there game recently
**Cincinnati **@ Cleveland- Chad Johnson said so
**Houston **@ NY Jets- Jets seem to lose these kind of games
**Jacksonville **@ Buffalo- Their road record is horrible, but should pull through
New Orleans @ Atlanta- Payback time? Not this time.
Pittsburgh @ Baltimore- Steelers are done
San Francisco @ St. Louis- SF is getting better, might actually pull through
Oakland @ San Diego- [62-0] LT- minimum 4 touchdowns. To be honest, he could win by himself.
Chicago @ New England- Show Chicago they aren’t that good
NY Giants @ Tennessee- They are injured but can pull through
Philadelphia @ Indianapolis- Peyton won’t lose again

MNF Game:
Green Bay @ Seattle- Time for a rebirth

Thursday
Miami at Detroit
And we care because…
Tampa Bay at Dallas
Dalls has has found their way.
Denver at Kansas City
Defense is the difference.

Sunday
Arizona at Minnesota
Minnesota is a better team at home.
Carolina ** at Washington
The Panthers are making a run.
Cincinnati at Cleveland
I’m assuming Cincy has put all of their turmoil behind them.
Houston at
N.Y. Jets**
Someone else for the Texans to complain about losing to.
Jacksonville at Buffalo
I have a feeling we’re getting the bad Jacksonville team this week.
New Orleans at Atlanta
Atlanta can still run and the Saints may have hit the wall.
Pittsburgh at** Baltimore**
The Steelers run ends.
San Francisco at St. Louis
St. Louis should pull this out at home.
Oakland at San Diego
San Deigo continues to romp through a relatively easy schedule.
Chicago at New England **
Well, the Bears have to lose one somethime…
N.Y. Giants at Tennessee
The GIants are in worse shape than we thought.
Philadelphia at Indianapolis
A couple of weeks ago this looked like a potentially fun game. Now it’s hardly worth the time.
Monday
Green Bay at
Seattle**
Seattle is very tough to beat at home.

To those interested:
Continue to post your picks for the remaining games, some points are better than none.

Sunday Games:
Arizona @ Minnesota
By a close margin. Both teams are reeling, and in my opinion, one of the worst games this week.

Carolina @ Washington
Al Saunders is DONEZO!!! And so is the Redskins season. And this game will only exemplify that they need to draft well in '07. Dan the Fan, BUILD AROUND THE TEAM YOU HAVE, NOT THE TEAM YOU WANT!!!

Cincinnati @ Cleveland
Carson Palmer, Ocho-Cinco, and company save their season this week.

Houston @ NY Jets
This’ll be a shootout, but the Jets will prevail. That Texan OL is too weak and DC and company can’t make up for it. Chad Pennington will have a huge game this week against the Houston defense.

Jacksonville @ Buffalo
This game has the Jags on the outside of the playoff-picture looking in.

New Orleans @ Atlanta
The Falcons get Abraham (and one other guy who I can’t think of right now) back this week and will have enough defensive strength to stop their skids. Drew Brees will be a passing machine (600 yards this game?) but it won’t be enough.

Pittsburgh @ Baltimore
Billick’s offensive machine is still going strong, but Ravens will pin down Willie Parker and co. this week.

San Francisco @ St. Louis
These 49ers will prevail in a crucial divisional matchup. Expect this game to go either way.

Oakland @ ** San Diego**
This will be a walk-in-the-park for the Chargers.

Chicago @ New England
Chicago must somehow protect Rex Grossman. If they don’t it’s gonna be a long evening for them.

NY Giants @ Tennessee

Another no-brainer.

Philadelphia @ Indianapolis

The upset pick of the week. Colts will still have not recovered from the Dallas loss. If the Eagles lose this game, they find themselves REALLY on the outside looking in.

MNF Game:

Green Bay @ Seattle

Brett Favre and company will be strong, but the Hasselbeck/Alexander tandem returns and will be back in strong force. They’ll take this game.

Tonight’s game:
**
POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND IF YOU LIKE SEATTLE**

  1. Matt Hasselbeck is back at QB.
  2. Seattle is 21-4 at home when Hasselbeck starts since 2003.
  3. The Seahawks are No. 2 in defensive sacks this season.
  4. Green Bay has now been shut out twice this season.
  5. Green Bay gives up 24 points a game on the road.
  6. The Packers were held to 120 total yards last week.
  7. Seattle has shut out five teams on MNF.
  8. Green Bay is the 31st-ranked pass defense in the NFL.
  9. Deion Branch and Darrell Jackson have 44 receptions and six touchdowns in the last five games.
  10. Green Bay is 1-4 in its last five MNF games.

**
POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND IF YOU LIKE GREEN BAY**

  1. Brett Favre is healthy and second all time to Dan Marino on MNF .
  2. Matt Hasselbeck is 0-3 versus the Packers with zero touchdown passes.
  3. Green Bay is No. 4 in defensive sacks and the Seahawks are No. 28 giving up sacks.
  4. Seattle has now gone seven games without a rushing touchdown.
  5. Last year, Green Bay beat Seattle and held Shaun Alexander to 73 yards.
  6. Shaun Alexander has a 2.7 yards per carry rushing average.
  7. Seattle has given up 19 sacks and fumbled 10 times in the last five games.
  8. Favre has only thrown two interceptions in his last 164 passes.
  9. KGB (Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila) has 15½ sacks in 15 MNF games.
  10. Last week, San Francisco running back Frank Gore had 212 yards versus Seattle.

** CONCLUSION**

It’s hard to believe Hasselbeck has never beaten his old team and never thrown a touchdown pass in three starts against Green Bay. The Packers have already given up 18 touchdown passes this season, and it seems probable that Branch and Jackson – who already have 12 scores between them – will break the ice for Hasselbeck. Alexander will run well enough to keep a safety down in the box most of the night, and the Seattle pass rush will disrupt Favre just enough to give them a home win. If the Seahawks don’t shore up their tackling and pass blocking, then Seattle will slip to 6-5 and find its playoff hopes in jeopardy. I think Holmgren will have his team ready to start their playoff push tonight and win a close game against his old team.

That is the last time I pick Jacksonville in a game they should win. :mad:

You wouldn’t believe my elation when Tennessee kicked the Field Goal…that and the fact that I’m an Eagles fan working with a bunch of Giants Fan’s doesn’t hurt.
