kleese Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 www.edkleese.blogspot.com Last Week: 7-6 Season: 75-41 Record Picking Redskins Games: 5-2 Against the Spread: 16-11-1 Lock of the Week: 6-1 Last Week's Pats: Nothing to brag about. The seven games I picked correctly were all pretty easy. Last Week's Apologies: First of all, it was my first losing week this year picking against the spread (1-3), although, I did hit my lock of the week once again (Raiders). Gotta apologize to the Browns, who I thought would be the first victim for the Rams this year. And Jacksonville continues to be a mystery as to which team will show up from week to week. This Week's Picks: San Francisco at Atlanta: Yuck. Not sure which way to go with this disaster. Flipping a coin... 49ers 19, Falcons 17 Cincinnati at Buffalo: Another tough one. The Bills are hanging around and playing hard every week. The Bengals are pretty much toast. But for some reason, I see Cincy snagging a victory on the road. Bengals 24, Bills 20 Denver at Detroit: OK, this is my big test for the Lions. I am not a "believer" yet, but if they win this week and sit at 6-2, then I will be forced to take notice. But for at least one more week, I think the Lions find a way to lose this one. Broncos 23, Lions 20 Green Bay at Kansas City: I've been picking against the Chiefs, and losing, all year long. Why stop now? Packers 22, Chiefs 17 San Diego at Minnesota: If Brad Childress isn't feeling some heat in Minnesota, he should be. Not a big fan of what he's doing up there. San Diego is back on track. Chargers 27, Vikings 13 Jacksonville at New Orleans: By far the hardest game for me to choose this week. Jacksonville is so up and down it's sick. Are the Saints back on the right path, or did they just beat two terrible teams (SF and Atlanta)? I think we'll know a lot more about both of these teams when it's all said and done. Saints 19, Jaguars 16 Washington at New York Jets: This is a great game....if you are a fan of utter boredom. Redskins 12, Jets 10 Carolina at Tennessee: The Panthers are dominant on the road and horrid at home. I think the trend continues this week; Vince Young looks awful so far this year. Panthers 23, Titans 16 Arizona at Tampa Bay: Not liking what I see from Tampa over the past few weeks. I think Arizona will benefit from their week off and pull out the upset. Cardinals 21, Bucs 17 Seattle at Cleveland: With a win, the Browns will be 5-3, but much like the Lions, I will continue to be a doubter until they leave me no choice. Seahawks 26, Browns 21 Houston at Oakland: The three people that choose to watch this over the Indy-NE game need to have their heads examined. Raiders 20, Texans 17 New England at Indianapolis: Just awesome. It's really interesting to me that the Patriots have managed to cast themselves as the favorites and the villans in this game, despite the fact that the Colts have won the past three meetings and are the defending champs. But I guess that's what happens when you storm through the league the way the Patriots have the first half of this season. I definitely think the Colts come out fired up, and I definitely think Peyton Manning puts on a show, but right now, I just can't see how any team in the league can stop the Tom Brady Show. Patriots 34, Colts 30 Dallas at Philadelphia: Just when you want to bury the Eagles for good, they pull out a decent victory. Dallas will do their best to throw a little more dirt on Philly this week though. Cowboys 27, Eagles 20 Baltimore at Pittsburgh: I'm not buying what the Ravens are selling this year, and Pittsburgh seems to be firing on all cylinders right now. Steelers 23, Ravens 13 4 To Score 1. Cardinals (+3.5) against the Bucs. Tampa headed in the wrong direction. 2. Panthers (+4) against the Titans. Carolina is tough on the road. 3. Broncos (+3) against the Lions. Playing a hunch here. 4. Bengals (-1) against the Bills. Cincy is bound to win a few with that passing game. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRay Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Have to disagree with you on Buffalo/ Cincy.. Buffalo has won 8 straight against the Bengals. They are not a good team they are in total disaray. Detriot/ Denver After seeing what old man Favre did against that so-call shutdown secondary. It's easy to imagine that Kitna is licking his chops. Detriot wins this one. Bucs/ Cardinals toss up but I give the Bucs the edge. Sure hope you're wrong about the Colts/ Patriots game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kleese Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 You really think the Skins are not going to score any touchdown against the Jets??? I think the score is going to be more like 23-17! Could we score a TD or two? Of course. However, I truly believe we have a bottom five offense in this league, which makes every game a low-scoring affair unless our D gets us some points like they did against Arizona.

DaMuller7 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 The only one I disagree with is the Cincy vs. Buffalo game. I'm at a toss up of Carolina at Tennessee... I give the edge to the Titans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRay Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Sure Cincy can win a couple of games with that passing game but not with that defense it is terrible. It has been terrible for years they simply can't stop anyone. It's hard to imagine that they will stop Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCranon21 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 4 FGs and the Jets score a TD..that's some funny stuff right there. I really think we will score 27 this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonnyJ Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I think you're giving Denver WAY too much credit. They have done nothing to suggest that they can beat a decent team on the road. Especially one with a pronounced home field advantage (dome team) like Detroit. I also think Norv is due for one of those games for which he became infamous. The team is riding high, everyone is starting to believe in them and him, the furor over the poor start has subsided, and they're playing a perceived weak team on the road. Classic Norv letdown setup. I see the Chargers losing on some sort of non-offensive TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
