I slightly improved last week. I went 11-5 which brings my grand total to 21-11 and 66 %. But the season is still young so onto other things.

At this moment I could be playing quarterback for the Steelers. Ben who? Charlie Batch led the Steelers to a victory over the Titans and looked better than…well, past Charlie Batch.

Who would have known we would have been seeing Kerry Collins this early in the season? And without Vince Young having some sort of mental breakdown. Sometimes I wonder why the Titans don’t just let Collins start. So does Vince Young ever start another game for the Titans this season?

It’s all about quarterbacks this week because my main man Kevin Kolb is playing second banana to Michael Vick. And Andy Reid is looking foolish with the media, he seriously looks like some sort of confused security guard. Ah…enough.

Tennessee at NY Giants

Yuck. Is this game watchable? Tennessee didn’t look good last week and their win over the Raiders is nothing to brag about. I’m going to go with the Giants because of homefield advantage and the fact that they have a Manning at quarterback.

Pittsburgh at Tampa Bay

Is Tampa Bay serious? Tampa Bay being 2-0 is a bit strange. I feel like I’m being Punk’d or something. Only one of these teams can remain undefeated and logic says Pittsburgh will win. I think it’s going to be hard for Josh Freeman to look as good as he did the past two weeks against the Steelers and I have faith that even if it’s David Carr playing quarterback for the Steelers they can score somehow.

Cincinnati at Carolina

It’s obvious that I don’t have a good feel on either of these teams so far. Cincy is proving to be at least decent. Decent enough to give fans hope only to crush them but at least decent. And Carolina needs a QB right now. I’m going to have to go with Cincinnati on this one.

Cleveland at Baltimore

Wow Baltimore. Remember when everybody used to think you were good. Like two weeks ago? Ooooh burn. Seriously though, two weeks ago everybody and their mother thought Baltimore was going to the Super Bowl and now we don’t even know if they can win their division. Luckily enough God has smiled down upon Baltimore and given them a chance to bounce back this week by beating the snot out of Cleveland. Baltimore wins this and if they lose by any chance we know that God hates them.

Dallas at Houston

Quick note I didn’t mention earlier: Dan Fouts and that Ian Somethingorother guy that called the Washington/Houston game last week were horrible. They almost ruined watching a really good game for me, CBS why did you send in the B-Team for my game…?

Anyway, this is the game I’ve been looking forward to for a while. If you are like me and you were an Oilers fan and now a Texans fan you hate Cowboys fans. Cowboys fans are repulsive to me. I hate that team with so much passion and I do admit some of it does come from jealousy. Houston is like the quiet honors student without a homecoming date to Dallas’ pretty cheerleader homecoming queen. But guess what, Sunday is like a high school reunion where the honor student is now very successful and has grown into her looks and the cheerleader is stuck in her life ten years ago when she was popular. The Texans should win this one. The Texans offense is amazing and the defense is decent and despite the stats I believe improving. While the Cowboys are in a funk, have coaching problems and a tendency to beat themselves. Reliant Stadium should be rocking and give the Texans a great home field advantage. This game will be great for Texans everywhere. A good football rivalry is always great and the Texans making the Cowboys 0-3 should make Cowboys fans despise the Texans almost as much as we Houstonians hate the Cowboys. Rivalry time!

San Francisco at Kansas City

This might be my pick for most entertaining game of the week. (For fans outside of Houston.) Kansas City has been showing up to games and San Fran is a good team that can’t afford to lose again. My gut tells me to go with KC at home but I think the 49ers have the edge on the coaching front. This will be a good game but I think Singletary and the 49ers go all out to win.

Detroit at Minnesota

Detroit. I’m going with Detroit here. Shaun Hill is not a horrible quarterback and the Lions are looking pretty good. Minnesota does not look good at all. They might as well just hand the ball to Adrian Peterson on every down. It just might work. I’m picking this as might upset this week.

Buffalo at New England

When will Buffalo win a game? Not this week. New England wins.

Atlanta at New Orleans

Why does this pick seem so easy to make? Atlanta is supposed to be a good team right? New Orleans at home just seems like a sure win against Atlanta. Is Atlanta bad or am I not being fair to them? Only time will tell. Or Sportscenter.

Washington at St. Louis

Donovon McNaab looked good and that Kyle Shanahan offense looks great. I hate Clinton Portis and the running game though, however a bad running game didn’t stop the Shanahan offense in Houston. Washington should win.

Philadelphia at Jacksonville

Vick is back and looks almost better than ever. Poor Kevin Kolb didn’t even have a chance. I hope he gets a chance somewhere because I doubt it will be in Philly now. The Jags are good but I don’t think they can stop the Vick fueled Philly offense. I say Philly wins this one but don’t get on the Philly bandwagon yet.

Oakland at Arizona

Here’s this weeks battle of somebody has to win. I’m going with Oakland because they are actually better than Arizona. That’s right Oakland is better than at least one team in the NFL.

San Diego at Seattle

Seattle might be under-rated and San Diego might be over-rated but I don’t think that equates to Seattle winning (even at home). San Diego should win this one by a couple of touchdowns or they don’t deserve to go to the playoffs.

Indianapolis at Denver

Denver does not have what it takes to beat the football robots from Indianapolis. I doubt Denver’s offense can keep up with Peyton-bot.

NY Jets at Miami

I don’t have a good feeling about this game. Not in a strange ominous way where I think something evil is going to happen but I don’t know who has a substantial advantage. It all depends on which Mark Sanchez shows up to play this week. The average Mark Sanchez or the horrible Mark Sanchez. Nonetheless I’m going with the Jets on this one because I think they have the defensive edge.

Green Bay at Chicago

A good classic old school NFL rivalry…that seems a bit boring at the moment. Monday night seems to bring out the best in teams though. Green Bay will win this one. But what I’m really hoping for is the return of Mike Martz vertical passing game. This would be the perfect time for Martz’ offense to return to form. We’ll see.

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.

In other news in my life. I tried to write this while watching the movie Bolt and I have to admit. That movie grabbed my heart. But it’s sort of like The Truman Show and Toy Story combined.
