Alrighty, I might as well just go home. Indianapolis won the Super Bowl, I got to run into a small car with my pickup,
and now for the first time ever, I picked 100% for NFL. Yes it is true, my good friend Brett came through and Green Bay won tonight to complete my first Shut-out, No-no or clean slate for picks. Call it what you may, but the real skill comes in accepting the changing dynamic of the league. Cleveland is real, St Louis eats green dank, Brett is still super human, San Diego and New Orleans are who we thought they were, and so are the Bears.So let the slide begin. After being a "chump" the first 4 weeks, I have slowly picked up the pace and figured out some of the matchups in the league. Now that the only place to go literally is down, I will take my 13-0 week and say good day!

Alrighty so after last week, a few things have sorted them self out. Among the unsorted: Can Kansas City really play football one week to another? Will Drew Brees and the rest of the Saints get salted!! week after week?
So besides that I am hoping I have got some of the league figured out. Thank goodness that the Old Fat Grampa Man and his Panthers have a bye week.
Baltimore over Buffalo
New Orleans over Atlanta
Washington over Arizona
New York Giants over San Fransisco
New England over Miami (I am just wishing that I am wrong and a repeat of last year happens)
Tampa Bay over Detroit
Tennessee over Houston
Kansas City over Oakland
Seattle over St Louis
Philadelphia over Chicago
Dallas over Minnesota
Cincinnati over New York Jets
Pittsburgh over Denver
Indianapolis over Jacksonville
Week 5: 8-6
New England
New York Giants
Jacksonville
Tennessee
Arizona
Indianapolis
San Diego
Dallas
Pittsburgh wins in this Super Bowl rematch.
Carolina gives yet another L to the hurtin' Saints
Washington shuts down the pass and open up their own air game.
Houston squeaks this one out thanks to 5 Kris Brown field goals.
Baltimore's defense of last year shows up and kills any 49er offense
Chicago just gets an ugly win here, props to Green Bay for not kicking to Hester.
Week 6: 8-5
Baltimore
Minnesota
Cleveland
Green Bay
Philadelphia
New England
San Diego
New York Giants
Jacksonville rushes the crap out of Houston and Matt Schaub's 260yds don't bring the Texasmen close.
Kansas City ????
Tampa Bay is led by the accurate pass game of Jeff Garcia.
Carolina puts a page in the history books, officially being the first team to win with a Crypt Keeper under center.
New Orleans, come on, give me a break Drew.
I can hardly believe it is week 6 already. This season has been fast and very confusing.
Apparently: the Bears are who we thought they were(and...we let 'em off the hook). Indiana leads the best conference in the NFL, and New England leads the Worst. Cleveland has somehow organized an offence without Brady Quinn, or the highly suspected draft of Adrian Peterson. Drew Brees, and Marc Bulger spent the offseason together practicing their 'Interception Sighs'. The GM in San Diego is as dumb as we all thought, I mean if you lose one big game do you fire the coach? Brett Favre wishes to crush every record in the books, including his own. Donovan McNabb is extremely hungry, because the Eagles have been out to lunch since 2005. The Colts have a reliable back up running back, Who Knew?
Ok here is my Week 6 Predictions
Baltimore over St Louis
Minnesota over Chicago
Cleveland over Miami
Green Bay over Washington
Houston over Jacksonville
Cincinnati over Kansas City
Philadelphia over New York Jets
Tennessee over Tampa Bay
Arizona over Carolina
New England over Dallas

Seattle over New Orleans
New York Giants over Atlanta
New England over Cleveland ( Shaving my head if the Browns Win)
Seattle over Pittsburgh
New Orleans over Carolina
Detroit over Washington
New York Giants over New York Jets
Miami over Houston
Tennessee over Atlanta
Jacksonville over Kansas City
Arizona over St Louis
Indianapolis over Tampa Bay
San Diego over Denver
San Fransisco over Baltimore
Green Bay over Chicago
Dallas over Buffalo
Alright, here are my week 3 results, unfortunately I still haven't been able to pick up what is going on in the NFL.
Week 3: 7-9
Baltimore
New York Jets
New England
Indianapolis
Seattle
Jacksonville
Carolina
Green Bay is the real deal. I love Brett so much, but every time I have ever picked for him he has lost. Man o man.
Tampa Bay takes advantage of the Rams. St Louis is really bad. Like so bad.
Pittsburgh takes care of my upset pick for the week.
Philadelphia actually plays football, for once. Impressive outing by the Eagles!
Kansas City who? I already decided they sucked this year. I guess not.Or at least not as bad as the Vikes.
Oakland comes out on top of the battle of two used-to-suck teams.
New York Giants under the impressive play of Eli, continue to prove critics wrong.
Dallas wins here. I don't think I wrote this down right. There is no way I actually picked Chicago. Dems the breaks.
Tennessee continues to make New Orleans the NFL bee yai yotch.
Week 4: 5-9
Dallas
Detroit
Green Bay
Indianapolis
New England
Atlanta shows up and Harrington takes over as Schaub loses this grudge match
Buffalo wins????
Cleveland takes over as Baltimore continues to waiver on the line of good or bad.
Oakland wins with the show off performance of the week going to Daunte. 75 passing yards? O wait, 3 rushing TD's.
Tampa Bay defense drills the hurting Carolina offense along with now starting QB David Carr. C-A- RRRRAH
Seattle shows that they can still win without playing outstanding football.
Arizona comes out in the double QB set and shows the Steels what is up.
Kansas City wins again, and the Chargers only give LT the ball 6 times in a half, I mean, lose.
New York absolutely demolishes the Philly O-line and Eli continues to play competent enough.
Houston over Atlanta
New York Jets over Buffalo

So week one was not nice to me and my upset picks. I definitely picked the wrong ones, but week two went a couple games better.
Week 1: 8-8
Indianapolis
Minnesota
Washington
New England
Denver
Pittsburgh
San Diego
San Fransisco
Green Bay Wins/ Philly Loses- Pack Defense looks solid, but maybe Philly shot themselves in the foot with nearly 80yds in penalties
Tennessee Wins- The Titans RUN all over the Jag's usually tough and gritty defense
Carolina Wins- Jake Delhomme and the Panther Crew look more like the team I picked to be in the Super Bowl last year and less like the Shames.
Houston Wins- The Texans come out and look solid under the direction of the Squak, Squib and Schaub.
Seattle Wins- This was my upset pick for the week, Alexander brings it together in the second and Garcia doens't have enough.
Detroit Wins- Kitna looks unbelievable and the Raiders look as though they could get the number 1 pick again.
Dallas Wins- Yes this was a hope not a belief. Eli did look well, but unfortunately T.O. is still the guy.
Baltimore Loses- This should be a win for me, the Ravens got this one stole. Horrible offensive pass interference call in last minute. I wont accept it.
Week 2- 10-6
Indianapolis
San Fransisco
Pittsburgh
Green Bay
Jacksonville
Seattle
Dallas
Denver
Chicago
Baltimore
Houston Wins- I am starting to wonder if Tony Danza, Danny Glover, and Christopher Lloyd are part of the Houston management, because this turn around is almost ridickulous. Ya Gotta Believe!
Cleveland Wins- So Cleveland could win some more games as long as they continue to play against teams that apparently use the Ol' arena football adage " The Best Option, is to just let them score". This game was ripenisulous.
New Orleans Loses- Wow remember the time the Saints sucked? It's too bad that Cleveland doesn't just play Cinnci and N.O. all year. Derek Anderson would look like John Elway.
Minnesota Loses- You can't have 96yds in penalties and 5 turnovers. Even if you knock out the other teams quarterback you will lose. The Vikings continue to suffer from a lack of discipline. Can anyone control this team?
New England Wins- I just think that I might be glad I won't get to watch the 08 and 09 seasons of the NFL, because I think Brady could pick up enough rings by then to move on to the other hand. Like this team is riwangulous, I cannot believe that they are as good as they look. I am worried about the AFC championship game this year, lets hope the Pats slow down and the Colts keep up.
Washington Wins- Jason Campbell looks good, and Philly did too. No touchdowns though? This is frusterating for Eagle fans because it was a clean and well played game from the boys in green. To bad they couldn't convert.... on ANYTHING!
