Kansas City Chiefs at St. Louis Rams
Houston Texans at New York Giants
Tennessee Titan at Jacksonville Jaguars
New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Dallas Cowboys at Washington Redskins
Miami Dolphins at Chicago Bears
Green Bay Packers at Buffalo Bills
Cincinnati at Baltimore
Atlanta Falcons at Detroit Lions - For all of Mike Vick’s superhero-like abilities, he has never struck me as a leader of men, nor a great passer. You know, the kinds of traits you like to see in a quarterback. Sure, he has a great arm, but his telegraphic, molasses-like delivery is part of what will always keep his teams out of the big dance, or at least from going home with the trophy. The Lions suck, so they have every reason to play loose. And the Falcons have every reason to look past the Lions.

Denver Broncos at Pittsburgh Steelers
Cleveland Browns at San Diego Chargers
Indianapolis Colts at New England Patriots
Oakland Raiders at Seattle Seahawks
And I’m sticking with my original prediction for this week’s game against the Buffalo Bills. They’ve got one win at home (and two losses), and one win on the road. They’re suffering through a current losing streak of three straight, a festering wound that usually itches enough to do something about it come Sunday. But the Packers are starting to feel confident about themselves, figuring out who they are as a team and what they can do. They’re still not an 8-8 team, but they are most definately improving.
Last week my no-better-than-a-monkey picking scheme netted me an 8-6 record. I think I’ve recovered from the bizarro world that was weeks 6,7 and 8, and am ready to get back to business.
My previous record:
Week 8: 8-6
Week 7: 5-8
Week 6: 8-5
Week 5: 10-4
Week 4: 11-3
Week 3: 10-4
Week 2: 12-4
Total for the season: 64-34

[…] Didn’t I cover this topic over and over? Am I the only one not sucking the exhaust fumes Vick kicks out as he runs by? If you get a chance to watch a Falcon game and they give you the behind-the-QB-angle, watch him size up his open receiver. I’ve given shorter glances to the hot redhead with the nice breasts at the end of the bar at 2am. It’s not a wonder he throws so many balls on the ground - everyone knows who the ball is going to, and his Sugar-Ray-Leonard-windmill-punch delivery tells everyone when it’ll be leaving his hands. […]
