Picks for Dummies

Last week I went 6-7, while my dad went 7-6, and he has a remarkable 6 game lead on me. I feel ill.

Cardinals @ Redskins: Tough loss for the Skins, but who is the QB for Arizona? Warner is hurt, Leinart is done for the year, heck, I’m convinced Steve DeBerg is pondering a comeback.
Redskins 30 Cardinals 20

49ers @ Giants: Gosh, I don’t know where to start. Trent Dilfer will start for San Francisco, which is all the explaining I need.
Giants 34 49ers 7

Patriots @ Dolphins: 16-0 vs. 0-16 perhaps?
Pats 38 Dolphins 20

Falcons @ Saints: Good news, Byron Leftwich is starting for Atlanta. Bad news, they’re still going to lose.
Saints 17 Falcons 7

Titans @ Texans: Okay, tough one here. If Vince Young (game time decision), plays, Titans 20-16. If the Titans have Kerry Collins starting, Texans 23-14.

So…..
Titans 20 Texans 16

Ravens @ Bills: What exactly is the point of Buffalo’s existence? To choke away games right? Not this time, I like Trent Edwards, upset special here.
Bills 16 Ravens 13

Bucs @ Lions: Crap, the Lions are 3-2, the Bucs are 4-2. Detroit has a great offense, but they give up too many turnovers and sacks for my liking. Tampa’s defense is much improved.
Bucs 19 Lions 14

Bears @ Eagles: I heard that the Eagles can only play well when one team is wearing ugly jerseys. So Philly will wear some clothes thrown in the trash tomorrow.
Eagles 33 Bears 24

Vikings @ Cowboys: Vikes have Adrian Peterson and uh….um……
Cowboys 28 Vikings 20

Chiefs @ Raiders: Larry Johnson seems to have his running game back. The Raiders defense has been decent so far, but they couldn’t stop LT, so they won’t stop LJ.
Chiefs 17 Raiders 10

Jets @ Bengals: Cincy can’t possibly lose this one.
Bengals 23 Jets 16

Steelers @ Broncos: Broncos got whipped last game, but they have come out from the bye ready for an upset. The Steelers are good, but I have this feeling that we’ll have an upset here.
Broncos 22 Steelers 20

Colts @ Jags: The Jaguars are actually good. Great defense, Maurice Jones Drew is a great running back, David Garrard is playing well…but the Colts have Peyton Manning and a better defense than the last one that gave up almost 400 rushing yards in a 44-17 loss last year.
Colts 30 Jags 21

Previewing Seahawks/Sheep

10/20/2007 Mookie Leave a comment

Who: St. Louis Rams (0-6) vs. Seattle Seahawks (3-3)

When: 4:15 PM EST/1:15 PM PST

Where: Qwest Field

TV: FOX Sports, Matt Devlin and JC Pearson are your commentators

Rundown: The Seahawks are reeling from back to back losses to Pittsburgh and the once winless New Orleans Saints. This will be their last game before the bye week for Seattle, while the Rams will face the 3-3 Browns on the 28th of October.

Why the Rams Could Win: Earthquake, Mount St. Helens, some natural disaster Mike Holmgren’s predictable playcalling. Other than that, they have nothing. Torry Holt and Issac Bruce are old, Marc Bulger is hurt, and because that offensive line is crapola, Gus Fuerotte better be ready. The only danger I see in them is rookie Brian Leonard from Rutgers.

Why the Rams Could Lose: They haven’t won a game, they have no defense, they turn the ball over all the time, no offensive weapon, this list is so long that I could write a novel about it.

Key player to look for: Brian Leonard, RB, Rutgers. With Stephen Jackson out, Leonard has been a good replacement for the Rams, and recorded his first one hundred yard game against the Cardinals in a losing effort to the Arizona Cardinals.

Why the Seahawks Could Win: They have sputtered, but the Rams are so bad, that this defense will dominate St. Louis. The one thing with Seattle, is that Matt Hasselbeck has had a good start so far, and the Rams defense is allowing even the Ravens to score. DJ Hackett is reportedly coming back from his ankle injury, which could help the depleted wide receiver spot. As for that running game, that’s a piece of work.

Why the Seahawks Could Lose: Mike Holmgren.

Shaun Alexander Watch: This guy is doing an awesome job of tackling himself. He will not be a factor in any game until he stops being so soft.

Key Player to Look For: Julian Peterson has been phenomenal since making his trip to the Pacific Northwest. Expect him to be a big part in that Seattle defense.

Final Thoughts: The Rams suck, we all know that, but the Hawks haven’t been great by any means. Seattle doesn’t make anything easy so….

Seahawks 24 Rams 13.

Other predictions will come up next post.
