@Stiker, did you watch Miami's last "big stage" game? Miami dominated Indi. Peyton Manning is just a whole new level of fucking awesome.

[Stiker]

DBowe is going to house Newman.

It's just a shame Cassell will never have a chance to get the pass off.

[Headspace]

Passing game is going to finally open up this week and expose that weak ass secondary of Baltimore. They're opportunistic but they leave big holes.

[Mizango]

I hope the Rams beat the brakes off of the overrated Vikings. I want Favre, Chilly and those 2 obese fucks in the middle to all be carted off the field.

I can certainly dream.

It's just a shame Cassell will never have a chance to get the pass off.

Brodie Croyle baby! Fuck Cassel.

[Rem]

Yeah its against my nature to cheer for the Rams but I'll be cheering for Steven Jackson, since that's basically the team right there.

[Mizango]

The Rams and the Chiefs are my lead pipe locks of the week.

[Stiker]

The Rams and the Chiefs are my lead pipe locks of the week.

Better lead pipe lock is Clutch/Fox in 2010.

[Serif]

You guys just mad that the Titans are gonna be the first team in the NFL to start 0-5 and make it to the playoffs.

[Mizango]

Better lead pipe lock is Clutch/Fox in 2010.

Fuck you.

[Rem]

If its not Clutch next year then I foresee VY time up in the Carolinas.

[Stiker]

Fuck you.

I'm aware, I'm very aware.

[Norelco]

I've already given up on the Bills this season. I hope Cleveland wins.

[Brill Weave]

Bite your tongue Norelco! I'm starting Buffalo's defense against that trainwreck offense.

[Cephius]

Jumping in to predict a few upsets

Cleveland @ Buffalo - The Mangenius basically has his job on the line this week if he can't beat Buffalo. He got rid of his troubled WR, now it's time to step up and prove they can win. They didn't play terribly last week, they were able to move the ball and put points on the board. Buffalo has no offense, I think even the Cleveland defense can handle them.

Dallas @ Kansas City - Good game for Dallas to get themselves right, Romo should have a good game against the hapless Chief defense.

Minnesota @ St. Louis - Poor Spags. The Rams are quite possibly the worst team in the league. Favre is in mid-season form... for now.

Oakland @ NY Giants - David Carr could start this game and the Giants would still cover the spread.

Tampa Bay @ Philadelphia - Everyone seems to think Westbrook and McNabb will be good to go for this game, but I think they're still pretty banged up. It's too bad Tampa is so terrible, or else I might be tempted to pick the upset.

Pittsburgh @ Detroit - Steelers have to stay on the winning track after a bad start, nothing like a game in Detroit to keep it going. If the Lions had any chance, it disappeared when Staford got banged up.

Washington @ Carolina - Washington needs a big win to give them any hope, and this is another coach who's job is on the line. Zorn needs to prove his guys can play. Carolina has had no passing game, I think Washington gets to Jake and wins the game by keeping Carolina off the board.

Cincinnati @ Baltimore - I'd honestly pick Cincinnati here, because I'm impressed with the way they've played. But they get a Baltimore team that is furious over losing to the Pats, and I think they're going to look to vent frustration in a big way.

Atlanta @ San Francisco - Ryan isn't having sophmore blues so far. Frisco is good, but I think Atlanta wins this going away.

Jacksonville @ Seattle - Jacksonville showed life last week, I look for them to continue it. Seattle has looked lost on offense.

Houston @ Arizona - The letdown year for Arizona continues this week with Houston. They'll establish the run early and get some big plays.

New England @ Denver - Brady got bailed out a few times last week with some questionable penalties, and Denver has looked well getting off to a surprising 4-0 start. This is the first true test for them, and probably the only pick'em game this week. My gut says Pats.

Indianapolis @ Tennessee - Peyton Manning is unbelievable, and Tennessee won't be able to stop him.

NY Jets @ Miami - Miami just isn't good enough to play with the Jet defense right now. I have no faith in Sanchez, but I'm pretty sure Washington could win this game by himself. Losing Chad Pennington is going to be a irreplaceable loss for the Fins. I'd be surprised if they get in the end zone... unless Sanchez keeps throwing pick6s.

Miz you forgot to ethug on Harvin this week, completely unacceptable.

Miz <3 you are from now on known as Minnesota's unofficial lucky charm. So I look to you to make a reference to Farve, Peterson, Harvin, and Williams in each weeks thread. As long as you do so, I see no way of them losing! Oh and make sure the references are negative its the only way it works! Thanks

Maybe you should start hating more on Carolina. Clutch might start wining games!

[Flarega]

Lets all head over to tyches house and have omelettes.

Edit: And Cephius, you know you just picked the away team in every game except 3 right?

[Norelco]

Bite your tongue Norelco! I'm starting Buffalo's defense against that trainwreck offense.

Wut in the wut!

Whatever the outcome, it's my birthday weekend, so I'll be at the game good and drunk.
