I made these picks before the season started. There's probably nine of them that still work. We'll stick with Carolina, Chicago, Cincinnati, the Lions, Indy, the Giants, Philly, New England and Atlanta.

 

Game by Game analysis:

Carolina - Tampa Bay -- The Bucs suck.

Chicago-Minnesota -- Bears headed for Super Bowl XLI???

Cincinnati-Pittsburgh -- Could the Steelers have looked any more awful? They are likely to improve. Cincinnati plagued by injuries.

Green Bay-Lions -- Who is worse? Right now it's the Pack.

Jacksonville-Indianapolis -- AFC championship?

Jets -Buffalo -- Buffalo better than expected. Otherwise, who cares?

Tennessee-Miami -- So much for parity. Ron Dayne gets the start at RB. The Oilers (uhh Titans) really smell.

Washington-Houston -- Maybe the Bushes will be interested. Should be a blow out.

Baltimore-Cleveland. -- Edgar Allan Poe vs. the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Crab cakes and football are what Maryland does best.

Giants -Seattle -- Little Bro is looking like Elway. Don't forget Seattle 9, Detroit 6.

Philly-49ers -- Tougher game than it looks. McNabb and Philly D the difference.

St. Louis -Arizona -- Boring. We'll take Cardinals over Lambs.

Denver-New England -- Even without Deion Branch, Tom Brady's got the credentials here. Besides, he's starting for my fantasy team this week.

Atlanta-New Orleans  -- The Superdome re-opens, the Saints will be pumped. Vick and WarVick should be the difference.

 

Yes this is my opinion Take it or leave it. In the interest of full disclosure, my football knowledge is suspect. Last week, my 8-year-old son destroyed me in a fantasy football game. He's 2-0 heading into week three.
