Early in the season it looked, bad, truly bad, for The Other Manning and Giants Coach Tom Coughlin. They were playing poorly, making a lot of stupid mistakes and racking up the penalties. The Cowboys, on the other hand, have played well all season, and until they ran into the Patriots second half game, they looked very good. This game doesn’t mean nearly as much to Dallas as it does New York. This is the game that will define The Other Manning, Coughlin, and the Giants.
Giants win.
The Chargers could pull an upset off after the high intensity game hang over the Colts might have. But what in the name of Bud Grant happened to the Bolts last week? Dungy will be watching that film, and exploiting the same weaknesses.
Colts win.
The Vikings just came off a highly emotional win against a solid opponent, something they don’t do well or often. But the Packers have got to see it coming, they are playing in Green Bay, and Favre is still slinging. This might be the week the train derails, and this is a good week for it to happen, but as long as there is breath in the Old Man’s lungs and muscle in the arm, I’ll pick Favre in Green Bay all day long.
Packers win.
The Brown go in again a Steelers team that is hitting on all sixteen cylinders. Ugly. Early. Often.
Steelers win.
Once again, the Jags refused to be scrutinized. They win when they ought not to, and lose when they shouldn’t. The Titans are playing very well right now, too. The Titans ought to win this game, and so I’ll pick Jacksonville.
Jaguars win.
The Denver Broncos looked good early but the last few weeks have been brutal. The Chiefs looked bad early, looked good a game or two, but have faded again. Neither team impresses me. Chiefs at home? Why not?
Chiefs win.
The Falcons won last week, doubling their season total of wins to two. They looked bad against a bad team doing it, and I suspect good things are not going to happen for this team this week. But they have always played the Panthers well so this might be an upset game. I cannot pick Atlanta and not feel uneasy about it.
Panthers win.
The Bengals are an odd team. They have, or so it appears, all they need to have a pretty good team. They just do not win many games. They play a decent team in Baltimore. Things won’t get better for them.
Ravens win.
The Bears are still not doing well but they play the Raiders who play poorly at best.
Bears win.
Are the Lions for real? The Cardinals aren’t.
Lions win.
The suddenly resurgent Bills are looking like a football team. Alas! The fins are not. For the third week in a row, I’ll take the Bills.
Bills win.
The winless Rams go into NOLA looking for their first win. They will find instead a Saints team on the rise and pissed off.
Saints win.
On Monday night a demoralized niners team will limp into Seattle. They will limp out again.
Seahawks win.
Last week I went 9-5, which isn’t very good for me. For the year I go 80-50.
Take Care,
Mike
PS
Washington wins ( Thanks Lawrence)

San Francisco
Will win there games
you did not pick the winner of the Philly & Washington game i pick Philly
I love inside info!
So, it's like that, is it?
Lawrence, I want to go on record as saying I know for fact that the picks you make are based on your sincere and honest judgments and have nothing to do with bias of any nature, or in particular having anything having to do with "NEE."
" I cannot pick Atlanta and not feel uneasy about it.
Panthers win.
WRONG!!!!!
Atlanta won!
you said,
"The winless Rams go into NOLA looking for their first win. They will find instead a Saints team on the rise and pissed off.
Saints win
WRONG AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guess again? You get one more try ;=)
How about. . .mmmm
SAINT SAINT LOUIS. Maybe you meant them????
Go ahead, and say it.
As a matter of fact,
I shall beat you to the punch for the remainder of the season:
Week 10: I told you so.
Week 11: I told you so.
Week 12 I told you so.
Week 13: I told you so.
Week 14: I told you so.
Week 15: I told you so.
Week 16: I told you so.
Week 17: I told you so.
(may as well include the Bye week too, huh? -- yak yak yak)
Forever: I told you so. . . .
Continue to "tell me so."
Anyone and everyone may do this.
I am forever a San Francisco 49er fan! :=)
Hugs to you, or shall I be accused of wanting to get points or,
maybe something that hasn't yet come into my mind yet?
"I told you so. . ."
Everyone has an off week. This is going to be mine.
You know when the Foul Cons win it's going to be a weird Sunday.
How on earth did the Saints lose? what happened to the Panthers?
Ah, but Green Bay!
were I to get just one right, I'd want that one.
As it stands I'm not going to get much more than that.
When you mention animals, that is scary, for you believe in eating them!
Waste not. Want not.
See there? I have listened to you.
No chick here. I am NEE. For all you know, I could be Peyton Manning in disguise out to GET you. Or Brady with a video camera. Never assume, Firesmith.
Let us call a truce.
I have the cyberspace white flag and I am waving it. I shall forget the comment, and you forget the bad calls. Next week is a new week.
What do you say?
This is a little scary to me.
I am out of here.
Hasta la vista, Baby.
From here on out, call me Bruce Lee Nee Resurrected and Ready to Show His/Her Stuff.
Damn, I hate it when this happens.
But that's my Karma. I should have never picked on Lawrence for picking the nee-ners.
You know they'll win by 21 points now, don't you? And you won't even thank me for it.
I'm going to crawl back under my rock now, and hide.
I am not supposed to enjoy, in fact I may get in trouble for enjoying it. Just for picking at you, the 49ers may very well lose. But I have NEVER pretended that I was. . .well skip that.
This very pleasant. Well are "kewl" with each other again.
Thank you.
"high and mighty" that I want to fall --
the Dallas Cowboys
Enough is enough. He has ran the other 2 off. No one really wants to hear about Dallas. No one. No one except for him.
I wish New York had beat the pants off Dallas, but they did not.
It would appear the task is now left to Green Bay.
I hope that Green Bay whips them so bad that it makes their blue suits yellow
I do not have a thing against the Dallas Cowboys per se
I have a thing, two, and many more against people yelling in my ear
about a team, which is annoying in itself, over and over again
Running it into the ground
This is a form of torture.
Please beat them badly Green Bay
So this person shall finally be quiet.
Calling what happened today as a "fall' is like saying Custer had a "fall".
And it isn't over yet.
I'm tempted to delete this page and forget this weekend.
Jason, the one here is, who was after you just a short time ago keeps screaming in my face,
DALLAS! DALLAS! DALLAS! DALLAS!
He is a nut! He has never even BEEN to Dallas.
I had to EJECT him!
I am feeling surrounded. Now where do I go?
We have a truce. Don't tease me and I won't tease you.
I agree; we should both FORGET THIS WEEKEND.
Now take back what you said about hoping the 49ers lose tomorrow, or rather where you are, it is already tomorrow, huh?
