NFL Picks - Straight Up

Hey Peeps and anyone else checking in. A special "Hey" goes out to Hazel Mae.

Another tough week in the NFL last week - for everyone it seems as upsets and shockers abound. This week's NFL pool picks in the straight up pool - remember, losses in this pool count as negative points.

14) CHICAGO over San Francisco - Bears coming off a bye week and a scare against the Cardinals, its going to be a long day for Alex Smith and the 49ers.

13) NY GIANTS over Tampa Bay - no Monday night hangover for the Giants this week. The Giants get it done easily.

12) SAN DIEGO over St. Louis - It has been a while since L.T. has had a big rushing day, expect it to happen this weekend in a win over the Rams who aren't exactly road warriors.

11) Pittsburgh over OAKLAND - Cement head Roethlisberger should play, whether he plays or not, Steelers rushing game and their defence are too much for the Raiders.

10) KANSAS CITY over Seattle - Still no definitive word on whether or not Hazel is still a big Chiefs fan - I'm not messing with Hazel this week. Chiefs get it done against a Seahawks team minus Hasselbeck and Alexander.

09) New England over MINNESOTA - I'm taking Brady over Johnson in a big Monday night game. New England is looking good these days - they won't let Minnesota hang around and pull one out.

08) CINCINNATI over Atlanta - Ron Mexico had a great game last week - but if the Steelers could rip the Falcons for 38 points, imagine what Carson Palmer is going to do to them? Bengals big in this one.

07) CAROLINA over Dallas - I really hope I'm wrong in this one...but I can't see Romo getting it done against the Panthers.

06) NEW ORLEANS over Baltimore - The Saints are a force at home, and if the Ravens don't have McNair, I can't see Boller leading Baltimore in this one.

05) Jacksonville over PHILADELPHIA - I keep saying the Eagles are counterfeit, and I think the Jags D proves that this week.

04) N.Y. Jets over CLEVELAND - Jets keep finding ways to win, Browns keep finding ways not to win. Charlie Frye is supposed to play, but he is one hit away from being bounced out of the game.

03) DENVER over Indianapolis - Expect Denver to control the clock by running the ball at a soft Colts D - and put their faith in the defence to limit Manning and the Colts. Denver wins a close one on Sunday.

02) Houston over TENNESSEE - The Titans are playing better for late, but this is a game that David Carr can and should win for the Texans.

01) Arizona over GREEN BAY - I'm expecting to see the Matt Leinhart that played against Chicago. I want to see Dennis Green's reaction this week.

There you have it gang - good luck in your pools! Have a great one peeps.

Hazel, I hope things are groovy in your world.
