I like the roman numerals, so I think I'll stay with them from here on out. I have to do something to make it interesting, since my picks obviously aren't! I've only been able to pick 10 of 27 games in the past two weeks! Let's try again

• New York Jets (-3) vs. Buffalo: It must be nice to play Miami and Buffalo twice this year. Pretty much two guaranteed wins!
• Philadelphia (-1) vs. Pittsburgh: This is one of two premiere match ups this week. Pittsburgh is coming off a huge win over New England, and Philadelphia wants to remain undefeated. Add in that these teams are so close, and you have the making for a very good game. I picked Philly because no team has ever done what Pittsburgh is trying to do.
• Washington vs. Detroit (-3): Washington has not been playing very well this year. Detroit is very up and down. Hopefully Williams will suit up for this one. It's still odd to see Detroit as a favorite.
• Dallas (-1) vs. Cincinnati: Dallas should be able to take this one. Cincy is too inconsistent.
• Oakland vs. Carolina (-6.5): A match up of the last two Super Bowl losers. It's amazing to see how far they've both fallen. But Oakland has fallen farther.
• Arizona vs. Miami (-3): Arizona has beaten a couple of good teams.Of course, they lost to San Fran and Buffalo. I think after getting embarassed on national TV, the Dolfins will respond.
• Kansas City (-3) vs. Tampa Bay: Only favored by three after putting up 45 points against Indy? Unreal. Tampa Bay isn't that good. Kansas City should run all over them. Who needs defense when you can score at will?
• Chicago vs. New York Giants (-9): I've been here before. Chicago a nine point dog. I usually pick the favorite. And I usually lose. So I'll take da Bears.
• Seattle (-7) vs. San Francisco: Seattle will prove they are the best team in the NFC West, and part of that will be a sound beating of the 49ers.
• New Orleans vs. San Diego (-6): San Diego has the most prolific offense so far this season. That should continue against New Orleans, resulting in a much larger spread than 6 points.
• New England (-2.5) vs. St. Louis: St. Louis better be prepared. New England should come out hot. Or will they feel a let down after going so long without a loss? Do they remember what it's like to lose? That feeling won't last long.
• Houston vs. Denver (-5.5): I'm still not sold on Houston as a good team. Yeah, they beat Jacksonville last week, but that won't help them this week against Denver.
• Cleveland vs. Baltimore (-6): Call it a hunch, but I think Cleveland will win this one.
• Minnesota vs. Indianapolis (-6): Word is the defenses on each team will wear flame-retardant jerseys for this one. Why? They're going to get burned all night. Now this is a monday night match up! Yeah, for the purists, it won't be the best game, but from a pure fun standpoint, this'll be a good one.

Still here? Why? I'm wrong more than I'm right. Maybe next week, that won't be the case!
