Not the best week for my picks, split it right down the middle with 7 out of 14 which puts my overall picks at 34 of 61 or 56%. I definitely went with my gut on too many of these games when I probably should've went with my brain. Oh well, there's always next week. Anyway... here's the results of my picks.
The starred games are ones that I guessed correctly and the records are updated to reflect this week's results.
1:00 Games
*Detroit 26 (0-4) @ Green Bay 28 (3-1) - This game was closer than I thought. Green Bay needs to find a replacement running back for Grant badly.
*NY Jets 38 (3-1) @ Buffalo 14 (0-4) - No surprise Here, Buffalo just isn't good.
*Carolina 14 (0-4) @ New Orleans 16 (3-1) - New Orleans isn't what they used to be, they could have easily lost this matchup. Jimmy Clausen made plenty of rookie mistakes, but he's not that bad... he has a lot of potential.
San Fransisco 14 (0-4) @ Atlanta 16 (3-1) - A close game, but Matt Ryan led the Falcons to victory and The 49ers sail to 0-4.
Seattle 3 (2-2) @ St. Louis 20 (2-2) - I was wayyyy off on this prediction. Who would have thought Sam Bradford would lead the Rams to such a big win? Apparently not me.
Cincinnati 20 (2-2) @ Cleveland 23 (1-3) - Cincinnati officially blows... Batman and Robin?! Child Please!
Denver 26 (2-2) @ Tennessee 20 (2-2) - Tennessee had a chance to come back in the final seconds but Vince Young just couldn't finish.
*Baltimore 17 (3-1) @ Pittsburgh 14 (3-1) - Hahaha... Pittsburgh was looking good on defense, especially Paolumammu (sp lol) but Baltimore edged them out with a final second TD to Houshmanzadah (sp lol)
4:00 Games
*Houston 31 (3-1) @ Oakland 24 (1-3) - Oakland gave Houston a bigger fight than I was expecting, but Houston still won over a fairly pathetic Raiders team.
Indy 28 (2-2) @ Jacksonville 31 (2-2) - Wow... didn't expect this, I'm sure no one did. Jacksonville won in the final second with a 59 yard field goal to clinch the victory. Indy is 0-2 in division games so far this season, wow.
Washington 17 (2-2) @ Philly 12 (2-2) - Michael Vick injured a rib and the Kolb-era started once again... which meant that Donovan McNabb's return to Philly was successful. A final second hail mary was nearly caught but The Eagles lost all their luck and it bounced out of Avant's hands.
*Arizona 10 (2-2) @ San Diego 41 (2-2) - Again, this game wasn't a surprise, Arizona needs to drag Kurt Warner back from Dancing with the Stars.
SNF
Chicago 3 (3-1) @ NY Giants 17 (2-2) - A defensive battle where both offenses struggled to do anything. Cutler was sacked for a record 9 times (and got a concussion on the last sack) in the first half before being replaced by veteran backup Todd Collins, who couldn't do jack for Chicago either. The good thing is that the NFC East is all 2-2 except Dallas who had a Bye week, this division is wide open.
MNF
*New England 41 (3-1-) @ Miami 14 (2-2) - Easy to predict, but not in the fashion it happened. This was a wild Monday Night Game which had New England (especially their special teams) dominate Miami. There were 4 interceptions by The Patriots and 3 blocked kicks. They also made history for being the first team to score touchdowns by rushing, passing, getting an interception return, a kickoff return and a return of a blocked field goal. Whew.
