To be honest I don’t know if I’m excited about any of the games this week. I don’t know maybe I just feel a little blah, I don’t know. Maybe I might have watched to much “Project Runway” and lost my passion for watching sports, I don’t know. I think maybe now that I have a netbook and it’s easier to write maybe I don’t want to write anymore. Maybe now that it’s easy I don’t want to try. The thrill of the hunt is gone I don’t know what I’m talking about, let’s get back to football. I mean, I’m going to look at these games again and see what pops out…Yeah maybe Atlanta/San Fransico might be my favorite matchup…what’s with that.

Cincy losses to Baltimore. Okay, this might be the best game of the week. Great matchup for AFC North.

Buffalo over Cleveland. The Bills offense will prevail over the Browns defense.

Carolina beats Washington and shows everyone how much Washington really stinks.

Pittsburgh beats Detroit. I know its a risky pick, but I stand by it…

KC over Dallas. KC is at home, needs a win, and Romo loves finding ways to lose.

I’m going out on another limb to say the Giants beat the Raiders.

Philly over the hapless Bucs.

Minnesota over St. Louis. (Another wildly unpopular pick.)

I say the Niners beat ATL, tough game though.

Houston over the Cardinals, because the Cards offense hasn’t ignited and the Texans defense is trying to step up. The Texans offense will be fine.

New England over Denver.

Jacksonville over the Seahawks.

Indy over the Titans.

and…I’m going with the Jets over Miami.

For those of you keeping up at home I went 10-4 last week, which brings my grand total to 43-19 keeping my average at 69 %. Curse my luck.

The Texans won this week. It’s nothing to get excited about though. I mean, they beat the Raiders. That’s like kissing your sister, in order to prove we are contenders we need to beat a good team (or at least Jacksonville).

I was really hesitant going against Brady at home even the way they’ve been playing this season. But they proved they still have some fire in them.

The Titans once again proved that they’re broken.

The Saints took it to the Jets just like I wanted them to. The Jets are a good team but I don’t like the way everyone is pumping them up. They’ll be amazing next year if they can keep it up. I’m just not sold on them.

The Cowboys lost to the Broncos! I was kicking myself for that pick. The Cowboys look problematic and have some serious Romo troubles.

Detroit looked good for a bit but then Stafford went down. What horrible luck for that franchise.

Miami lit it up out of nowhere and Favre proved me right.

My main man Kelly Harkins is the best, him and Kendal Gill.

So last week I went 11-5. Not too shabby, I was a little concerned that this week might make a fool out of me, there were a lot of close games and it was really hard to pick some of them. My running total is now 33-15, that’s right under 69%. In the crazy world of NFL that’s not too bad. I’m over 500 and there’d be plenty of teams that would like to win 69% of the time…like my Houston Texans.

Oh brother those Texans need to stop giving up the big run. That defense that I thought was going to be different is slowly going back down that same road…only time will tell. Hopefully for the Texans time will tell before the season is over.

Wow, I was wrong about the Titans bouncing back and beating the way-too-popular Jets. I thought the Titans would smack ‘em around. And right now someone needs to take that team down a notch.

However I was right going with the Bengals over the Steelers. That seemed like a ESP call on my part. This was by far the toughest week to pick. So many teams seemed close on paper and it was tough. Man oh man this week was tough. Not only to pick but as a Texans fan. Oh well, at least the Houston Cougars gave me a good game. If you didn’t see that game, you missed out on some amazing college football. The Coogs will be tough in the future, I hope they can finish and have a solid season.

The NFL has ruled that if a punter hits the video display in Jones’ new expensive stadium it will be ruled a “do-over.” Technically Jones’ scoreboard is 5 feet higher than the leagues speculations but Titans punters AJ Trepasso and Craig Hentrich have already drilled it (Trepasso during gameplay). Jerry Jones gets his way, at least for this year. The NFL will reconsider the rule for next year. As for now, I will travel to Jerry Jones personal home and punt a ball into his TV.
