not that anyone cares here's my picks for this NFL week

Here's the straight up picks, maybe one week i'll look up the lines on the games and play against the spread. But that day is not today

Arizona at Dallas
Even without Julius Jones being 100% Dallas should roll an Arizona team that can't run the ball (Damn you J.J. Arrington). Lets hope for my sake that Larry Fitzgerald has a good day cause he might be my only fantasy receiver playing this week.

Chicago at Detroit
Bears suck Lions suck, who sucks less? The Bears. Bears have a tough D and should have no problem stopping Jeff Garcia who won't be as pumped up when he's not playing Cleveland.

Cleveland at Houston
If you don't have to watch this game, don't. Browns are two point dogs to a team that doesn't have a win, you think Romeo wasn't telling all of his players that this week. Browns should do enough to get a win, but if they don't this may be Trent Dilifer's last start of the year.

Green Bay at Cincinnati
I hate to let everyone in Cincinnati in on a little secret, but they're still the Bengals and they're still Cincinnati. They had less wins in the 90's than the Browns and the Browns weren't in the league for three years. The Bengals are a good team just not a good enough team to go far in the playoffs. The good news is that Chad Johnson can save money on his car insurance by switching to Geiko and the Packers suck ass. Bengals win this one in a shoot out.

Jacksonville at St. Louis
No Marc Bulger means no win for the Rams. Its like this Rams team hasn't gotten any better in the last four years. The defense still sucks and the offense is getting worse. The Jags play solid D and should have enough offense to win.

Miami at New Orleans
Who knows with this game. Its hard to pick Gus Ferroette on the road, and the Saints have gotten screwed by the refs two weeks in a row. So i'm going with the home team that doesn't have a home. An aside, if Tom Benson moves the Saints out of the N.O. after a devastating hurricane like Katrina he might be worse than Art Modell, MIGHT be worse.

Minnesota at Carolina
I think Carolina pounds the Vikes at home. The Vikings won't be able to score and there defense that was supposed to be better this year is horrible.

Oakland at Tennessee
I think Steve McNair has sack but if he didn't even get on the team plane last week the Titans are in trouble. This one is going to be a shoot out either way so flip a coin. It came up heads so i'm going with the Raiders.

Washington at N.Y. Giants
Giants don't play any D the Skins play a ton. Defense beats offense go with the Skins. But i think that this Skins team isn't as good as their record indicates, some close wins and a blowout of the 49ers does not impress me. In fact i think that the entire NFC East is overrated, except Dallas with a healthy Julius Jones.

Kansas City at San Diego
From what i hear about the Chiefs- Dolphins game from last friday the Chiefs continue to play no defense, lets hope that results in a big rebound from LaDainian Tomlinson. Its scary that the Chargers find ways to lose games, it reminds me of the Browns of the late 80's, just not as traumatic(that Rich Karlis field goal was no good, just ask Andrew Sicilliano). Bolts win

Philly at Denver
The Eagles throw the ball 70% of the time. This can't be good when your QB has a sports hernia. Denver and Jake Plummer have been playing solid ball all year. The trend continues, Broncos win at home, Eagles don't run the ball and TO complains.

Tampa Bay at San Francisco
The 49ers are starting Ken Dorsey at QB. I think that should be enough to ensure a Bucs win. Be careful because Chris Simmis is starting on the road. He couldn't get a win on the road in college it remains to be seen if he can do it in the pros. And what does it say about Simms that the Bucs traded for Tim Rattay, not a whole lot of confidence.

Buffalo at New England
Corey Dillon all day against a porous D-Line of the Bills. Everyone else will slowly figure out the Kelly Holcomb is not a serviceable quarterback.

Baltimore at Pittsburgh
No Ray Lewis and no Ed Reed means that the Ravens offense will have a chance to out score the defense this week. Pittsburgh wins, not really a close game. If there was a way that both teams could lose i hope it happens this week.
