I am kicking myself for picking a team with a quarterback named  Christian Ponder. The name alone tells you he's a lousy quarterback. Not to worry, I feel a strong weekend coming on.
Steelers 24 Redskins 21 (10). If RG3 could play defense as well the Redskins could be undefeated.
Seahawks 20 Lions 14 (4). Detroit is at home but Stafford is struggling.
Bears 35 Panthers 17 (13). Cam Newton is mentally coming apart and won't get any sympathy from the Bears.
Patriots 24 Rams 21 (6).Brady will be knighted after the game
Titans 20 Colts 14 (2).
Jets 24 Dolphins 10 (5). I hate picking the Jets but the Dolphins are about to decline.
Chargers 20 Browns 17 (3). Even Phillip Rivers can't lose to the Browns (I think)
Packers 35 Jaguars 7 (14). Packers roll continues
Eagles 21 Falcons 17 (1) . My upset pick. Atlanta tends to struggle on the road and the Eagles had the week off to show Michael Vick how not to turnover the ball.
Raiders 17 Chiefs 14(7). A great rivalry diminished with two lousy teams now.
Giants 27 Dallas 20 (9). I was planning on picking the Cowboys for the upset then I heard the news on Sean Lee. Huge loss.
Denver 28 Saints 17 (12). Peyton Manning remembers when he lost to the Saints in the superbowl. Here comes the payback
49ers 20 Cardinals 14 (11). Alex Smith is the QB of the 49ers, John Skelton is with the Cardinals. Smith is the lesser toxic of the two poisons.

week 8

Vikings 24 Tampa Bay 10 (8). ND alums Kyle Rudolph and Harrison Smith will lead the way

week 7

A new low . No one in our group could even finished with a 500 record last week. This is the most unpredictable season yet.
49ers 24 Seahawks 14 (5). Seattle struggles on the road and Jim Harbough has Pete Carroll's number.
Texans 28 Ravens 17 (13). Ravens defense is falling apart. Arian Foster will have a big game.
Packers 24 Rams 10 (11). Pack is finally back.
Titans 14 Bills 10 (2).
Colts 20 Browns 14 (1).
Saints 21 Tampa Bay 17 (7). The Saints can't afford to lose any more games.
Cowboys 20 Panthers 14 (4). If the Cowboys played to their talent I'd be more confident. The cowboys stupidity on offense will keep the game close but their defense should dominate.
Vikings 21 Cardinals 13 (8). Cardinals are weak at quarterback.
Giants 23  Redskins 17 (9). Last year the Redskins beat the Giants twice. Payback time.
Patriots 28 Jets 10 (12). Patriots won't lose two in a row and will look to punish the Jets.
Raiders 14 Jaguars 13 (3)
Bengals 21 Steelers 14 (6). Pittsburgh's offense has been struggling too much for me to pick them.
Bears 24 Lions 13 (10). The best team in detroit is playing baseball.

week 6

The Steelers let me down already and below are the rest of the picks for this week.

Miami 20 Rams 14 (3)
Baltimore 27 Dallas 17 (2). Still can't trust the cowboys offense
Eagles 24 Lions 10 (8). Vick will turn the ball over but Detroit is a major disappointment so far.
Bengals 20 Browns 17 (4).
Jets 14 Colts 10. (5). I'm counting on a Tebow miracle.
Tampa Bay 13 Chiefs 6 (1). Josh Freeman against Brady Quinn. This game will be hard to watch.
Falcons 35 Raiders 10 (14). Atlanta dominates at home.
Patriots 20 Seahawks 17 (12). Brady pulls it out in the end.
Cardinals 20 Bills 3 (13). Cardinals rebound big.
49ers 20 Giants 13 (6). 49ers will get six sacks and get even for last year's playoff defeat.
Vikings 20 Redskins 17 (9). I'm off the RG3 bandwagon.
Houston 30 Packers 17 (11). Packers have Clay Matthews on defense and nothing else
Broncos 30 Chargers (10). Manning won't lose to Rivers

week 6

pittsburgh 21 Titans 7 (7)

week 5

I'm 0 and 1 but this weekend has game's that are easy to pick and I look forward to another strong week.
Giants 24 Browns 7 (12). Giants rebound.
Packers 21 Colts 10 (10). The Colts at home could keep it close but the Pack is finally discovering they have a defense again.
Steelers 17 Eagles 10 (2). Tough one but the Steelers should cause enough turnovers to win.
Falcons 20 Redskins 17 (6). RG will keep it close but Atlanta has too many weapons for the Redskin defense.
Baltimore 21 Chiefs 7 (13). Ravens are finding their groove.
Bengals 24 Dolphins 10 (8).
Bears 20 Jaguars 13 (9). Bears may have a let down but the Jaguars are not strong enough to take advantage .
Carolina 14 Seahawks 13 (1). Seattle doesn't know how to play on the road.
49ers 28 Bills 10 (11). 49ers defense will overwhelm Buffalo
Vikings 17 Titans 10 (7). Vikings offense keeps improving.
Patriots 24 Broncos 21 (3). Brady against Manning again. Manning has always had trouble in New England.
Saints 21 Chargers 17  (4). Upset pick. Saints have to win a game eventually and Phillip Rivers will help them along here.
Houston 38 Jets 3 (14). Gross mismatch. A team going in fifth gear against a team that can't even put it into first. Rex Ryan may get fired after this game.

week 5

Cardinals 20 Rams 14 (5). Cardinals are flying under the radar and will have just enough to win
