NFL Week 6: Ed Hochuli

It's simple. The Browns have been struggling: they need a stellar performance on Monday night to re-emerge as a player in the NFL.

Ed Hochuli has been struggling as well, and he needs a stellar performance this week just to re-establish himself as a solid referree in this league.

Will either happen? Both?

Was 27, StL 20. A letdown has to occur, right? That's two tough intra-divisional games on the road. Can they play 3 great games in a row?

TB 24, Car 20. This seems like an intra-squad scrimmage. Aren't these teams basically the same?

NYJ 31, Cin 15. I can't really explain how awful Ryan Fitzpatrick was 2 weeks ago for the Bengals at QB. And yet they still almost beat the Browns.

NO 27, Oak 13. The Saints are pissed after giving one away last week.

Min 24, Det 17. I don't the Vikes are that good - and can Detroit get blown out again? (don't answer that).

Ind 17, Bal 16. I Just don't like Flacco on the road.

Hou 20, Mia 17. I really have no idea. Will the Texans' meltdown last week be the end of their season? Or a rallying point?

Atl 23, Chi 20. I guess we will go with the hot team at home here.

Jax 27, Den 24. A hunch. Denver is nowhere near as good as 4-1, and the Jags are a desperate team.

Sea 20, GB 16. Will Charlie Frye get the start - and win! - for Seattle?

Phi 27, SF 13. Another desperate team. The Niners looked lost offensively last week.

Dal 28, Ari 23. I have no idea which Cowboy team will show up.

NE 27, SD 24, OT. Pssss- the league hasn't caught on yet - but the Chargers are just not that good.

Cle 24, NYG 23. Anderson to Heiden for a touchdown with 15 seconds left gives the Browns the win. What, were you expecting something else?

Best bets: 14 of them: Last week: 6-8-1, overall: 44-32-2.
