Week 6 NFL Picks

Record to Date – 42-27-5 – An ever improving record after an excellent Week 5.

Remember that we are using the lines provided by the great folks at bodog.com, and without further ado, here are the picks for this week.

Cincinnati (+3) @ Kansas City – I thought about going with the majority and picking the Bengals, but I don't have much confidence in a team with their best running back banged up and a terrible defense. On a related note, isn't Marvin Lewis supposed to be a defensive genius?

Houston @ Jacksonville (-7) – With Andre Johnson out, I have to pick the Jaguars – who are without a doubt the most underrated team right now in the entire league (Which may change after their game in two weeks against the Colts).

Miami @ Cleveland (-4 ½) – The Dolphins are going to break their winless streak one of these weeks, and I'm anticipating this week as being the time that the accomplish this.

Minnesota @ Chicago (-5 ½) – With the Packers back in their sights, the Bears will not squander their chance to run them down by losing against the Vikings (at least I hope not).

Philadelphia (-3 ½) @ New York Jets - Brian Westbrook is the engine in the Eagles offense, and it's a good thing for Philadelphia that their engine returns healthy after their bye week.

St Louis @ Baltimore (-10) – This is a difficult line to pick. On one hand you have the Ravens who are terrible on offense, and on the other you have the Rams who are also horrible on offense. So it's really a toss up.

Tennessee @ Tampa Bay (-3) – This line puzzles me a great deal because I think that the Titans are the better team, especially considering that Cadillac Williams is out for the year. So I'll go with the Titans in this game, even though something seems suspicious.

Washington @ Green Bay (-3) – The Redskins, along with the Jaguars, are vastly underrated. And this week I look for Jason Campbell to play very well against the Packers stout defense.

Carolina @ Arizona (-4 ½) – It's a bad sign when I don't even know who is starting for the Panthers, thus I'm going with Kurt Warner and the Cardinals.

New England (-6 ½) @ Dallas – This is must see television. For about 1 ½ quarters.

Oakland @ San Diego (-10) – Note to Norv Turner – run Tomlinson and Turner 35+ times and you win the ballgame.

New Orleans
@ Seattle (-7) – The Saints are really, really bad. But Shaun Alexander looks old a decrepit, and I think Seattle will win, but only by about ten.

New York Giants (-3 ½) @ Atlanta – Another puzzling line, but I'll go with the Giants until Joey Harrington shows consistency or is pulled.
