I'm watching the election results right now, and figured this was a good time to take a break from both work and the election coverage. So with that, you have my latest results. As a teaser, I did pitifully. And remember, there may be some political stuff in here - that's all I've been seeing for 4 or 5 hours now!

• Green Bay 28 (-1.5), Washington 14: Well, at least it started out good. I didn't see it, but word is that Washington was robbed of a touchdown that could have made it 21-20 late in the game. I think the dems bought that call to keep Washington from winning.
• Baltimore 10, Philadelphia 15 (-7.5): Of course T.O. would overshadow the outcome of the game! Why wouldn't he? Doing the Ray Lewis dance after scoring. That caused quite a stir after the game - as T.O. and Lewis traded verbal jabs in the following days. I (again) didn't see this one, but did Owens have any routes over the middle where he was vulnerable? Or did they specifically stay away from that kind of pass? If I were Baltimore, I would have been looking for every opportunity to lay him out. Oh yeah, Philly is still undefeated. Almost forgot about that.
• Arizona 14, Buffalo 38 (-3): It looks like picking McGahee is starting to turn out to be a pretty good move - two 100+ yard games in two starts. That's pretty good. Will Travis Henry be the odd man out? If so, where will he go?
• New York Giants 34, Minnesota (-6.5) 13: Last year, Minnesota was 6-0 and lost to New York, and they pretty much fell apart after that. In 2000, Minnesota lost to New York and didn't take the field again all season (granted, it was a playoff game, so no reason to take the field again). How will Minnesota respond this year? And can Culpepper keep up his pace with Moss hurting (so far no - only two TDs in the past two games)? Playing next week against Indy should help him.
• Cincinnati 20, Tennessee 27 (-3): No McNair? No problem.
• Indianapolis 35 (-1), Kansas City 45: How can you score 35 points and lose? That's unreal. And KC seems to be back on track. That's good for the league. They are an exciting team to watch.
• Detroit 21, Dallas 31 (-3): Detroit once again doesn't look great. Of course, they were missing their top two receivers. Kevin Jones seems to be pretty solid. Testeverde is almost 41. He's still pretty good for being that old (no offense to my older demographics!).
• Jacksonville 6, Houston 20 (-1): I said something wasn't right here, and apparently it was me! Houston is putting together a decent season, and Jacksonville is very up and down. I guess you expect that with a young quarterback. With Leftwich injured (he may play through it though), how will that affect them?
• Atlanta 41, Denver 28 (-7): It's even week Atlanta, so of course they won!
• Carolina 17, Seattle 23 (-8): Seattle gets back on track (of course, it was Carolina!). Will that continue? They still are probably a favorite to win out west, but what happens when they hit the playoffs?
• New England 20 (-3), Pittsburgh 34: Ding, dong, the King is dead! Pittsburgh knocked them off, and quite soundly, too. Ben Roethlisberger is really starting to turn into a stud. They have another test, playing their in-state rival next week. No team has ever knocked off undefeateds twice in a row this late in the season. Can Pittsburgh be the first?
• Oakland 14, San Diego 42 (-6): San Diego has really turned around their team. They are now the highest scoring team in the NFL, and Drew Brees is finally living up to the hype he had coming out of Purdue. And Oakland continues to struggle.
• San Francisco 13, Chicago 23 (-1.5):  I talked to a buddy, and he said Sunday night games are not the prime games, and that they never have been. Interesting. I would agree with the way this season has gone. I think that's not a good decision by the NFL. Then again, they seem to be doing just fine without my input.
• Miami 14, New York Jets 41 (-7):  This turned out to be another bummer MNF game. It was close for a while, but then the Jets pulled away. Two running backs with over 100 yards and a touchdown (thanks, Curtis Martin. Your yards and score won my fantasy game this week!). That's pretty solid. And it runs time off the clock.

So how did I do? Very, very bad. Let's review:

In a few days, I'll get my week 9 picks in. Now, back to election coverage!
