NFL Week 4

BUFFALO at New Orleans: If the Bills crappy offensive line can give Losman more than two seconds to throw the ball, then they wouldn't make him look so crappy as well. Buffalo has had some losses on D, but the Super Saints look like they're finally coming back down to earth. If the hype hasn't died down by the end of this game, I'll be shocked. Bills by 7.

DENVER at Jacksonville: My Flippy the Coin special this week. Denver was dominant against the Chiefs to the extent that they look like they think they are a playoff team. Jacksonville is at home. Flippy likes the Broncos, so I'll say they'll win by 3. Jags are 4 point favourites, so make this one the Pepto as well.

Detroit at TAMPA BAY: The Pack only managed 16 points against the Sucs' defence, and that was at Lambeau. It will be 9 times worse for the Lions at Raymond James. Sucs start 4-0, and I throw up a little bit in my mouth. Succaqueers by 10.

Houston at CINCINNATI: Cool, the Bengals can play defence too! They're the first team in 34 years to record 5 interceptions in a game! Think they can do it again? David Carr sucks, so there's a chance. Bengals by 24. Lock of the Week.

INDIANAPOLIS at Tennessee: Titans played the Colts very tough last year and pulled out all their trick plays. This one could be close as well, but as usual, the Colts find a way to win. Colts by 4.

San Diego at NEW ENGLAND: Nobody expected them to win against the Steelers. The question this week is how badly the loss of Rodney Harrison will affect them. If they keep using Tomlinson often like they did in New York, they should make this close or better, but I just can't pick against the Pats at home. Patriots by 3.

SEATTLE at Washington: Seahawks aren't a very good road team. Washington is kind of an unknown for me, but even though I don't think very much of him, I'll take Hasselbeck over Brunell, and Shaun Alexander had a huge game last week. I believe the Seahawks have the personnel to shut down Santana Moss too, so they'll be able to avoid the 4th quarter comeback. Seahawks by 3.

St. Louis at NY GIANTS: Young Eli is putting up better numbers than Peyton, but we'll see just how long that lasts. The Giants have to play better defence, but even if they don't, I think the Rams D is worse. I'll take the Giants by 7 in a shootout.

N.Y. Jets at BALTIMORE: The quarterback situation for the Jets is a mess, and they will have to choose between the inexperienced quarterback and the rusty old-balls quarterback. Granted, the QB situation in Baltimore isn't much better, but Anthony Wright at least has a game and a half experience and the bye week to prepare. I haven't given up on the Ravens defence yet, and the final score in this one should be 6-3 for the Ravens, or something like that.

Dallas at OAKLAND: The Cowboys didn't put up a very inspiring performance against the 49ers, and if they get burned twice by the Mark Brunell/Santana Moss tandem, the Kerry Collins/Randy Moss tandem will be much worse for them. Raiders should have won last week, but were beat by an injured kicker. Raiders by 14.

Minnesota at ATLANTA: Culpepper finally has a good game, but it was against New Orleans' crappy secondary. I'm glad it happened last week instead of this week, so Atlanta doesn't get the big surprise. The keys to this game for the Falcons are Rod Coleman and Patrick Kerney, since Culpepper was sacked 7 times last week. And as always, the running game will be important. Falcons by 10.

PHILADELPHIA at Kansas City: Chiefs are 1.5 point favourites. Methinks the bookie knows something most don't (as is usually the case...) Maybe the McNabb injury is more serious than everyone thinks. Eagles have lost their kicking game, but I think good kickers in football are a dime a dozen (unless you have Sebastian Janikowski on your team) so I don't think this will be a huge problem. Besides, they'll score plenty of touchdowns anyway. Eagles by 13.

SAN FRANCISCO at Arizona: I think this marks the first time I've ever picked the 49ers to win a game. This is another crap vs. crap game. Might as well go with the 49ers...they swept the Cards last year, and if they're going to win another game this season, I think it's this one. I can't believe they had 1st and goal on the Dallas 1 and settled for a field goal...those 4 points would have put them at 2-1. 49ers also won't have their home crowd there to boo them, and Arizona isn't used to playing in front of people. 49ers by 7.

Green Bay at CAROLINA: A missed extra point has the Pack starting 0-3. The Panties, even though they got beat by the Fish, should win this one fairly easily, as it seems Green Bay has no run defence at all. I don't think that even Jake Delhomme could screw it up for them. Panties by 10.
