Remember Me?

Sorry about the lack of posts in awhile from me, gang. Looks like I finished last week over .500 despite my blatant homerism of the New England Pats. I blame the weather.

PITTSBURGH (-8) at ST. LOUIS
Won't take credit for this one because Pitt has a comfortable lead in this game now as we speak (or as I type). But this was in the pantheon of the easy games to pick.
MP: Steelers

DALLAS (-12.5) at CAROLINA
Not a great week for Jessica Simpson. Her boyfriend's team loses to the Eagles, she gets called out by TO as a distraction, and her ex-husband beats Patti LaBelle in Clash of the Choirs. However, I don't think Carolina is good enough to hang with them 'Boys.
MP: Cowboys

CLEVELAND (-3) at CINCINNATI
Ladies and gentlemen that are pathological gamblers, this is the game for you to put money on. Let's look at the facts. Fact: The Browns are playoff bound. Fact: The Bengals just lost to the 49ers. Fact: This statement of facts like this is getting kind of grating.
MP: Browns

GREEN BAY (-7) at CHICAGO
The week of the road favorites continues. Another line that could probably be doubled. Do you trust the duo of Kyle Orton and The Other Adrian Peterson to beat a 12-2 Packers team that is on fire? Neither do I.
MP: Packers

HOUSTON (+9) at INDY
Finally a road dog this week! This game should be better than a lot of people think. The Texans have been a tough team to beat with Andre Johnson healthy.
MP: Texans!

KANSAS CITY (+5) at DETROIT
God's team has officially fallen off. Great article by Travis earlier this week on Mike Martz's play calling abilities. You can not completely ignore the run and expect to go places in the NFL. That is unless your coach decides to give the rest of the league the middle finger by saying that they will beat the rest of the league handily by throwing the ball to Randy Moss or Wes Welker.
MP: Lions

MIAMI (+23) at NEW ENGLAND
I will not fall into the same trap that I did last week by making bold predictions about the line being 35 and still taking the Pats. However, if the weather is fair in New England, I see this game as a total romp.
MP: Pats

NEW YORK GIANTS (-1.5) at BUFFALO
Although Buffalo is no longer postseason eligible, they have been playing with so much heart this year. It's hard to ignore. They've really come a long way from being predicted to finish last in the AFC East to the Kevin Everett injury to almost making the play-offs. Hats off to them. I can see them giving the Giants a tough game this week.
MP: G-Men

OAKLAND (+13) at JACKSONVILLE
Biggest snub from the Pro Bowl rosters: no Jags taken. David Garrard belongs in the game, along with Fred Taylor. Nobody wants to play the Jaguars in the play-offs.
MP: Jaguars

PHILLY (+3) at NAWLENS
Great job by the Eagles showing up to play against the Gauchos last week. By the way, while fantasy owners were probably crying about it, how savvy of a play was Brian Westbrook's decision to down himself at the one? How many other players in the league would do that? Brian Westbrook is a weird character. At times, he appears overrated, but at times, he seems underrated. Very odd. Saints have been playing inspired football since they've realized that they need to stop messing around if they want to make the playoffs.
MP: Saints

WASHINGTON (+7) at MINNESOTA
How good would the Vikings be with Matt Ryan, Andre Woodson, Brian Brohme, or even Colt Brennan as opposed to TJ? The real Adrian Peterson is absolutely fun to watch.
MP: Minnesota

ATLANTA (+10.5) at ARIZONA
Only watchable because the Cardinal offense is fun. But neither team is going anywhere this year. Apparantly nobody wants to be involved with the Falcons franchise after Bill Parcells snubbed them this week too.
MP: Cardinals

BALTIMORE (+9.5) at SEATTLE
How far has Shawn Alexander fallen in the past couple years. The guy doesn't even average 4 yards a carry anymore. I think the Ravens hold their best chances to win with Troy Smith at QB. I think that says more about the sad state of the Ravens quarterbacks then Troy Smith.
MP: Seahawks

JETS (+9.5) at TENNESSEE
Looks like it will Clemens this week if he's healthy. I really feel for Chad Pennington. He really isn't as bad of a quarterback as Jet fans make him out to be. He'll do well for another team next year.
MP: Titans

BUCS (-7) at SAN FRAN
SF needs to stop winning games. The Pats need a top five pick next year!!!
MP: Yar! Bucs.

DENVER (+8.5) at SAN DIEGO
The Broncos are miserable. But you all knew that if you read my posts. The Chargers are a weird team. They're bound for a first round exit.
MP: Chargers
