Here come my week four NFL picks. I realize they're a bit late, but at least kickoff hasn't happened yet, so they're still vald.
Last week I finished with a 7-7 record, which is just not good enough. I'll try to do better this week. But keep in mind that I had the following predictions dead on:
-"God wills Jon Kitna to thrown an drive-killing interception, but this one ISN'T returned for a TD" (happened on the Bengals' first drive)
-The final scores of the following teams: Rams (23), and Atlanta (10).
I'm giving up on scores this week, so it's just winner or loser. Here we go:
Arizona @ St. Louis: This shouldn't even be a contest, even if Mike Martz sucks. Rams
Tennessee @ Pittsburgh: I watched Steve McNair lose a game to Marshall in his final college season, during the Division I-AA playoffs. So I know McNair can be beaten.
I also know that that was then, and this is now. Titans
Jacksonville @ Houston: This is my upset of the week, even though it'll barely count as an upset. The Texans have a good defense, but something inside me keeps a'whisperin' in my ear that Mark Brunell won't play. Jaguars
Philadelphia @ Buffalo: Buffalo looked pretty bad this week, but Philly barely scraped by in a win against Bye Week. The following pick may have something to do with James Thrash being on my fantasy team: Eagles
New England @ Washington: Bill Belichick? Still a knob for cutting Lawyer Milloy rather than finding a better way to restucture his contract. Redskins
Cincinnati @ Cleveland: The fact that Cleveland won last week is more testament to Dennis Erickson's ineptitude as a professional-level coach than it is to Butch Davis's ability to call plays correctly, or Kelly Holcomb's toughness. The Browns are very, very bad, whereas the Bengals are only very bad. Bengals
San Francisco @ Minnesota: Chick McGee likes Gus Frerotte to do some damage, so I do too. Look out for a left-handed pass at some point in the game. Vikings
Kansas City @ Baltimore: I can't believe how wrong I was about the Ravens last week. "David Boston is a headache," I said, "But so is Kyle Boller." Luckily for me, the Chiefs have no headaches. Chefs
San Diego @ Oakland: Suspending David Boston won't solve the problem. Who else you got, Marty? Huh? Who else you got? Oh, that's right - Nobody. Raiders
Dallas @ New York Jets: Bill. Parcells. Cowboys
Atlanta @ Carolina: I could use this time to rip on Doug Johnson and the fact that he's really only good enough to play backup in the NFL, but then I'd have to rip on Jon Kitna of the Bengals and say the Kitna's far worse. Oops. The Panthers are a surprise, I think they stay that way. Panthers
Detroit @ Denver: Was Oakland really that bad, or was Plummer really that good? I don't know either. Olandis Gary goes buck wild, but it's still not enough. This one's gonna be close.Broncos
Indianapolis @ New Orleans: Is Jim Haslett as overrated as Mike Martz and Mike Holmgren? Colts
Green Bay @ Chicago: Bears are the worst team in football. Even Bank One can't save them. Packers
