Let's see who can pick the winners in this weeks NFL games. Just for fun. No money. Plenty of bragging rights.
This will be cross-posted on three blogs (Politics and Pigskins, Ragged Thots, and American Legends), so I will report the results from all three.
The only requirement is your post must be time-stamped before 1 pm EST on Sunday.
Here are my picks (in red):
Buffalo at Detroit: Buffalo is bad, but Detroit is worse. I'll take Buffalo to squeak by in this one.
Carolina at Baltimore: Pity the Panthers. Having to face the Baltimore defense coming off their Monday night loss to Denver.
Cincinnati at Tampa Bay: Cincy has had two weeks to prepare. This could be ugly too.
Houston at Dallas: Dallas should be sufficiently "T.O.'d" after their loss to the Eagles.
N.Y. Giants at Atlanta: This is the game of the week. Can the Giants run defense stop Atlanta's league best running game? Hard to say, but I'm taking the Falcons.
Philadelphia at New Orleans: Are the Saints for real? If they pull off this win, then I'm a believer. Until then, take the Eagles.
Seattle at St. Louis: I'm leaning towards St. Louis in a game which will go a long way towards determining the NFC West champ.
Tennessee at Washington: Skins. If you have to ask why, you haven't seen the Titans this year.
Kansas City at Pittsburgh: Until Pittsburgh gets on the right track, they are going to have a hard time with even mediocre competition like K.C.
Miami at N.Y. Jets: J-E-T-S! Jets Jets Jets!
San Diego at San Francisco: Do you even have to ask?
Oakland at Denver: Allow me to repeat: Do you even have to ask?
Chicago at Arizona: Da Bears in Da Desert. Ob la Da...

Wait a minute. Are you picking the Broncos over the Raiders? And you call yourself a Raiders fan?!
I see the game is on NBC today at 5:15. I didn't know NBC broadcast NFL games these days.
Myrhaf,
I'll be rooting for the Raiders, but even you must admit the Raiders have a snowball's chance of winning this game.
NBC is doing Sunday night games this year.
I know, I was just being silly. But you knew that.
The etymological root of the word "fan" is fanatic. It's hard to be a fanatic and cooly objective at the same time, although you do it. In office pools I never pick against the Raiders, which actually helped me one year, I think it was 1997, when no one else picked the Raiders one week and they won an upset victory and I won $90. On any given Sunday...
I used to do that with the Raiders. I got tired of losing. :P
Although I did do that the year they went to the Super Bowl and it paid off nicely. ;)
