Sorry about the bad luck last week, David Michael Moses.

You look spot on this week. Same upset picks and everything.

Anyone who isn't taking Miami over Houston and Balty over Indy (dogs to cover spreads) is a damn fool. They've also got Seattle as a favorite over Green Bay.

These three lines (Houston -3 over Miami/ Indy -5 Balty / SEA -2 GB) are just retarded. Take the dog, ??? , Profit!

Seattle is favored by 2 points to beat Green Bay. Not an upset.

Hardest pick for me was Carolina at TB. ATL is letting Matty Ice unleash his sparrow, so look for Chi-town to go apeshit with picks and sacks.

Also, I like Forte running against Atlanta's front 7 more than Turner trying to burn through Chicago's.

Actually as a Dolphins fan I'm pessimistic about our chances. It seems my picks always go the opposite way with them (0-4 with them on the season), so that I have hope we might overcome the Texans is really worrying me. I wont be surprised if/when Houston wins that game.

[NY Giants] at Cleveland - Giants score over 40

I know a few of my picks seem irrational, but I see potential for some pretty big upsets this week. The Bengals were very competitive against the Giants and Cowboys so I think they are right on the verge of turning their season around. Dallas losing at Arizona may seem insane, but I think the Cowboys will underestimate THAT BIRD and if they don't play mistake free football (something they haven't done lately) they will get their second loss.

Panthers at Buccs could go either way I think it will be a close back and forth game, same with Jags at Broncos.

Everyone can see Arizona winning a shootout against a team coming off a scare from Cincy, and even now it's not that crazy to take Seattle at home, whomever they're playing.

But giving Cincy a win at THE BRETTS? When the Bungles turn things around, it's going to be at home.

Not really, especially if Brett has another piss poor day with like three INTs. Arizona always has the ability to overcome, both teams offenses are pretty explosive.

I'm a devout Cowboys fan from ever since I can remember. With that being said, the loss against the Redskins and struggling to put away the Bengals has me concerned. So much so that I think this game against the Cardinals can go either way. If the Cowboys can play mistake free football, they are the best team in the NFL. But they haven't shown that at all this season. The way this team is currently playing has them on track to yet another first round playoff exit. I am hoping that this lackluster play early in the season mounts to their best play in December. Perhaps this Cowboys team needs a couple reality checks during the regular season to lead them to success in the postseason. This game against the Cardinals could be another reality check on them.

Also, I am more concerned with how my Sooners do against Texas this weekend anyways.

Ooh, now that I know you are a Cowboysfan let me ask you, what's your stance on the whole Pacman Jones deal. Should or will Goodell suspend him and for how long? Should Jerry Jones do something if the comish doesn't?

I'm not a fan but just as a bystander I can't see Jerry Jones doing anything because you guys are a little thin at that spot right now. Also I don't think that Goodell will do anything either because nobody actually fessed up to anything so he can look the other way if he wants, and I think he wants Jones to really hang himself, not bust him prematurely over something as lame as a bathroom brawl.

Also, if Goodell doesn't suspend him for this, will Jones make it through the rest of the season without getting suspended? My guess is no.

Giants. Even without Burress, they dominated last week, and will continue to do so.

Minnesota. I think Frerotte is finally starting to click with the team, and we should see him step up the offense this week.

They sure are. If the 49ers can put a dent in the Eagles running game and they don't make too many blunders on offense they should be able to pull it off. I picked the Eagles but I wouldn't be too surprised if it went the other way.

I didn't realize just how badly the Seahawks were hurting, I guess their hole front line is basically decimated by injury, other notables that likely will not play on Sunday are Deion Branch, Atari Bigby, and Seneca Wallace.
