Borat and NFL Picks

Opie and Anthony had Borat on their show this morning.  Spare me the typical anti O&A rants please.  I don't care.  Borat was frigging hilarious.  I almost had to pull over the car I was laughing so hard.  His performace on O&A this morning makes my desire to see his movie that much stronger.

NFL Picks for this weekend.

Well, my last 3 weeks, I have stunk.  Parity is the norm in the NFL at the moment, making it hard to pick correctly on the games each weekend.  This weekend should be easier as there are some apparent mismatches unlike the past 3 weeks.

Game:                                    Team Picked             Points Assigned

Green Bay at Buffalo:         Green Bay                   5

Green Bay is re-emerging with the return of a healthy Ahman Green to their line-up.  Brett Favre is looking better then he has in the past 2 years almost.  Buffalo is still struggling with their offense, and although Green Bay has no Defense, they probably have enough to stop Buffalo.

Miami at Chicago:                Chicago                      11

This is one of those apparent mis-matches.  Chicago is heads above Miami.  Miami has no offense and their defense is stout against the run, but their secondary isn't the Miami secondary of old.  Look for Chicago to roll, especially at home.

Atlanta at Detroit:                Atlanta                         8

Mike Vick.  Holy shit.  When did he figure out he could win by using his arm?  Or did the Atlanta coaches finally realize that he has an arm?  Either way, he is on a roll with his passing.  If that gets shut down, which it won't against Detroit, look for Atlanta to fall back on the run.  Detroit is starting to get more agressive with their offense, and Roy Williams is finally providing a good downfield target, but Atlanta has a pretty good defense.  Detroit will score, but Atlanta will win.

Kansas City at St. Louis:   St. Louis                       6

One of the tougher games to pick this week.  I'm going with St. Louis because I feel they have more weapons and are more healthier then Kansas City at the moment.  St. Louis' defense is struggling, so this could turn into quite the shoot-out, which I feel St. Louis will win.

Houston at NY Giants:       Giants                           14

No question in my mind on this game.  The Giants defense is on a terror-spree since coming off their bye-week.  Houston is still struggling and David Carr was benched last week mid-game.  I think the Giants will harrass whoever the QB for Houston is all game long and should win quite easily at home.

Nawlins at Tampa:            New Orleans                3

Another one of the tougher games to choose this week.  Tampa's offense is in disarray and their defense cannot bail them out of games like Chicago's defense can.  I'm looking for the Saints to rebound after a tough loss to Baltimore which, if they had clicked a bit sooner, they may have been able to win.

Dallas at Washington:     Dallas                            7

Yes, I live in Dallas, but I'm not a Dallas fan.  I could really care less about this game, but since I have to choose between the teams, I have to go with Dallas.  Dallas is starting to groove a little after deciding to bench Bledsoe and starting Romo.  I don't know what the hell is going on in Washington, but it isn't pretty.  On paper, these 2 teams almost match up evenly.  Almost.  I'm hesitant to pick against the home team in a rivalry game, but I can't see the Redskins pulling this one out.  Edge:  Dallas

Titans at Jags:                 Jacksonville                 9

The Jags showed me they still have life after their total shut-down of Philadelphia last week.  Tennessee is showing some life, but the terminology for them this year is "rebuilding".  If the Jags show up with the same Defense that they showed up with against Philadelphia, the Titans don't have a chance.

Cincinatti at Baltimore:   Baltimore                      4

Another toughy.  Cincy isn't the Cincy of last year.  The verticle passing game is lacking, and where did Rudi Johnson disappear to?  Baltimore has found new life after firing Jim Fassel and the Offensive Genius (sarcasm) of Brian Billick is being utilized.  I'm going with the home team and one of the best defenses in the league for this game.

Minnesota at San Fran:    Minnesota                  12

Another easy game in my opinion.  Minnesota will be looking to rebound after being embarrased by New England.  San Fran will continue their usual mediocrity and not be able to do much against a decent Minnesota defense.

Denver at Pittsburgh:        Pittsburgh                   1

Tough pick.  Both have very good defenses.  Denver's offense isn't overly great, while Pittsburgh's offense is erratic.  If the old Big Ben shows up, Denver won't be able to stop Pittsburgh.

Cleveland at San Diego:    San Diego                 13

Wow.  Mismatch.  San Diego will destroy this team.  No question about it.  I have LaDanian Tomlinson in my money league, so I'm looking for him to score me some serious points this weekend.  San Diego is simply too much for Cleveland.

Indy at New England:       Indianapolis                2

Game of the weekend possibly.  Look for Indy to pick apart an aging New England Defense.  If Indy can't get any type of running game going though, this game will be very close.

Oakland at Seattle:           Seattle                         10

Seattle is simply one of the toughest places to win at.  Yes, they don't have Shaun Alexander, Matt Hasselback, or possibly even Darrell Jackson, but they still have a better team then Oakland.  It maybe a close game, but I doubt it.
