(Note these picks were made well before the publishing of this post)
There was a small comment about the season predictions from last week, to which I will respond:
No Love for the Packers to at least make the wild card? That's harsh. At least you're give Favre some credit. -ConnQ (Chicago)
True, at least I gave Favre some credit... more accurately I gave the quarterback's three best friends some credit... running back (Peterson), o-line, and run defense. Honestly, as dangerous as the Packers offense is, there is not much defense there. Especially since they're switching to the 3-4 defense. Just don't think they are one of the 6 best in the NFC.
Here we go rapid fire...
Falcons over Panthers... over-under on Delhomme turnovers? 4? 12? 30??
Vikings over Lions... over-under on Lions wins? 1? 2? 2??
Packers over Bengals... over-under on Bengals wins? 1? 2? 2??
Titans over Texans... thanks Andre Johnson, thanks for your whopping 3 fantasy points last week. That's what you want from the #9 draft pick.
Raiders over Chiefs... over-under on Cassel starts this year? 3? 4? 1??
Patriots over Jets... over-under on Brady touchdowns? 30? 40? 103??
Eagles over Saints... no McNabb, no (real) problem. Do the Saints have a defense?
Redskins over Rams... over-under on Rams points scored this year? 100? 50? 10??
Cardinals over Jaguars... so the Cardinals have never won on the East Coast at Noon games? So what?
49ers over Seahawks... more impressed by the Niners win than the Seahawks win.
Bills over Buccaneers... over-under on TO's bitching sessions? 5? 10? 38??
Steelers over Bears... which team is better without their emotional defensive leader.
Broncos over Browns... I thought the Broncos would be terrible with Orton, but when you start with the Browns and the Bengals, any team would be 2-0... except the Chiefs.
Chargers over Ravens... the vaunted Ravens defense let the Chiefs (with Brodie Croyle at QB) score points. I'm guess the decent Chargers offense is more successful.
Cowboys over Giants... upset special. That's it.
Colts over Dolphins... I think Peyton has something to prove.
Last Week: 12-4
Season: 12-4

Well, I was at the Packers game this weekend; it was sad. The offense was bad, the defense couldn't stop the run, and special teams were underwhelming. I am not happy. I'm sure with better o-line play the offense will be fine (and perhaps getting Jennings involved would help. . .). The defense did look fair against the pass though, so that is the one positive note.
However, loosing to the Bengals at home was depressing, especially if you were there and screaming your heart out on that last drive.
