So I'ma get my Brandon Lang on. I know i'm late cuz its week 4, but thats why the title is what it is. Here are my expert NFL picks for this week. Holla @ me if you use 'em, i want 10% haha.
Sunday
BAL (-4) @ CLE
- partly because last week i knew the cards would cover against the ravens, and they did. The Browns are playing at home against the old Browns. Granted the Ravens are NOTHING like the old Browns, but McNair's old, Ray Lewis is hurt, and Jamal Lewis is pissed that Baltimore let him go. They might not win, but they'll cover. Pick: BROWNS
TB @ CAR (-3)
- Jeff Garcia looks like the 06 playoffs Jeff Garcia or the early 2000's regular season Jeff Garcia, even in Carolina, no TB cornerback is gonna give the Panthers the gift that DeAngelo Hall gave them last week. Pick: BUCS
CHI (-3) @ DET
- Kitna has alot of heart, but heart only takes you so far (Bernard Hopkins against Winky Wright doesnt count), and while Griese is a brand new starter this year, and the Lions offense looks good, i mean, they are still playing the Chicago Defense. Pick: BEARS
STL @ DAL (-13)
- I hate the Cowboys. but no stephen jackson and the way the rams been playing, Dallas wins and covers at home. Pick; DALLAS
GB (-1.5) @ MIN
- Dan Marino Who? Brett Favre is about to break Marino's touchdown record. But the Vikings are still division rivals, and they're playing in Minnesota. but its Kelly Holcomb, Green Bay shockingly moves to 4-0 and covers. Pick: GREEN BAY
HOU (-3) @ ATL
- Whats up with former Hokie Falcons? Matt Schaub is gonna feel like he's got something to prove. and without their best corner for a quarter or two, and Andre Johnson coming back, yup, they shouldn't of let Schaub go. At least we're gonna get to see Leftwich in the game. Pick: HOUSTON
DEN @ IND (-9.5)
- Am i the only one who thinks the broncos look suspect this year? apparently not, since the vegas is giving them 9.5. it's still not enough points, Indy's been in two close games since blowing out the saints, and theyre due for another. Pick: COLTS
OAK @ MIA (-4)
- OK, they're playing at home. and they havent won a game yet. and the raiders have blown two close games, and we're still nowhere closer to seeing JaMarcus Russel on the field yet. it doesnt matter tho. raiders don't just cover, they win. Pick: RAIDERS
NYJ (-3.5) @ BUF
- Ok, so I hear that Thomas Jones just got his girl Megan Goode pregnant. That would almost be enough to make me pick the Bills alone, but JP Losman, i dont know you think you are. Pick: JETS
PHI (-3) @ NYG
- NY looked better in the second half last week than they have all season, call it a sign of things to come or call it a fluke. these are both two teams i really dont like, but PHI put up 56 last week, and even if it was against the lions, they're playing teh Giants defense this week. Even at the meadowlands, wouldn't suprise me to see the eagles hit at least 40. Pick: EAGLES
PIT (-6) @ ARZ
- Man, seems like I've been pickin all the favorites, but there's a reason, they're the better bet with these lines. Steel Town's been playing out of its mind lately, and whoever is back there for the Cards, Leinart or Warner, is gonna feel like a third string this week. Pick: STEELERS
KC @ SD (-11.5)
- That's what you get for hiring Norv Turner. The Bolts need SOMETHING, and it might just be a game, at home, against a team that sucks. Congratulations SD, you've been granted both them things. just don't think you're making a statement by covering against KC, cuz well, you're not. Pick: CHARGERS
SEA (-2) @ SF
- Don't let last week fool you. Shaun Alexander's playing hurt, and Frank Gore's gonna hit at least 110 against the seahawks. Pick: NINERS
Monday
NE (-7) @ CIN
- the NFL superteam finally gets a monday night game. after a getting a sunday night game week 1, go figure. Moss vs. Ocho Cinco. The Pats have covered every single game theyve played, including last week's 17.5 debacle agains the Bills. Super Offense vs. a team that let the browns score 56? Pick: PATS.
Also, I'm in a pool called a Survivor Pool, where all you have to do is pick one team to win straight up every week, but you can't pick the same team twice. All you have to is survive. So ery week now, I'm gonna list my picks for the week, my survivor pick, and my lock pick. and just to let you know, my surivior picks for past weeks:
Week 1: DET (over OAK)
Week 2: DEN (over OAK)
Week 3: CAR (over ATL)
for week 4:
Survivor: SD (over KC)
Lock: New England.
Good Luck.
