Well, with the electricity (and Internet) outage here in Cincinnati, combined with my Ryder Cup hangover - up at 4:30 am, home at midnight - I'm too tired to put any thought into these NFL picks. So - I'll use up my last freebie and introduce you to the other new NFL referree this season, Carl Cheffers. Coming soon to a NFL game near you! Prediction: He'll be doing the Detroit - San Francisco barnburner today.
Today's games:
Was 20, Az 17. Layup and I were talking - doesn't every Redskin-Cardinals game come down to a 54 yard field goal at the gun?
Min 24, Car 17. Gus Frerotte is an improvement. How does that sound, Redksins fans?
NYG 31, Cin 16. This is the suicide pick for the week.
Ten 21, Hou 20. I think the Texans are better than people think - they are the NFL's forgotten team right now.
Atl 20, KC 17. There is no reason why Atlanta should be favroed by 6.5 over any one!
NE 24, Mia 13. I'm very interested to see how Cassel progress this week and the next. If any one can get a read on him, now is the time to make money on the Patriots before Vegas catches on.
Buf 27, Oak 19. This game would scare me, if I was a Buffalo fan.
TB 20, Chi 13. Remember last week when I said Chicago was for real? Can I take that back?
SF 31, Det 23. Why don't I have J T O'Sullivan on my roster yet?
NO 31, Den 27. Upset of the week. Psssst - I don't think Denver is that good.
Sea 24, StL 20. The Rams will stay close. I think people are still overvaluing the seahawks.
Ind 20, Jax 17. Feels like a Vinatieri FG game at the end, no?
Phi 27, Pit 23. I have no idea what could happen here.
Dal 23, GB 20. Green Bay should try to keep the ball on the ground and the clock moving.
SD 27, NYJ 17. How can you top last week's MNF? By having a Favre-a-palloza.
Cle 24, Bal 13. This week, CNN Si had a list of the top 10 coaches that cold be fired at the end of the season. Romeo was not on it. IF the Browns lose here, he could be gone for Janice's birthday, Oct 6th. Then I won't have to get her a present.
