Are you ready for some Football?

The weekend's coming up. I haven't done much other than study and play this pc game called Neverwinter Nights. Oh yea, I got my car back. They fixed the side up completely. They also got those damn waterspots off my car, amazing! haha, well not really, I guess I could've bought that auto clay and removed it, but I was too lazy. Clay haha, I tried to wash those waterspots off for a couple years now, and it didn't work. I think I'm going to post some pictures up soon, but sorry guys, I was debating or not to put a copyright prompt so people can't save my pictures, and I think I will. Get to looky, but not takey. I think football this weekend's gonna be good. I had a good feeling last week, but I lost by 1 team and the other ticket by a tie. I mean not last week, haha. I forgot to bet last week. I'll call it my BYE week, referring to all the football enthusiasts out there. Well here's my football predictions for this weekend's football with the spread

Miami Dolphins @ New England Patriots (-13)
The patriots have to win by 2 touchdowns?! HA! It's still worth it to bet on them. I know, Miami has the defense, but they CAN'T score man. The patriots have a all round defense and scoring. Yea, it was close last week against Buffalo, but they still demolished them in the 2nd half.
My pIck: The Patriots

Cleveland Browns @ Pittsburgh Steelers (-6)
Ben Roethlisberger replacing the injured Tommy Maddox. Some might say it's good, some might say it's bad. I'm picking that the Steelers won't beat the spread. This one I'm taking a gamble and sayin that Jeff Garcia's browns are going to do a good job against the division rivals. I didn't say that the Steelers weren't going to win, but win or lose, spread's too much even if it's only 6 points.
My pick: The Browns

Oakland Raiders @ Indianapolis Colts(-9)
Everyone knows that I'm the biggest Raider Fan. I feel bad, but how can I go against the Colts? Peyton Manning's, in my opinion, is the best quarterback out there right now. Nine points is nothing compared to the Colts. Kerry Collins disappointed me last week at Houston.
My definite pick: The Colts

Detroit Lions @ Atlanta Falcons(-7)
This is hard. Atlanta's been 50/50 on the spread. Detroit has some nice defense going on this year. I'll probably regret this, but I'm going with the Falcons. Michael Vick, don't disappoint me.
My Pick: The Falcons

Tampa Bay @ New Orleans(-3)
-3 for the Saints? They're only giving this due to their record and home advantage. What's that mean? They're both not good. Deuce Mcallister out? Damn. Man, I'm going for the underdog on this one with Tampa Bay. Sure they haven't won one yet. They gotta win sometime. Especially with a -3 spread. I don't think this game's gonna be close buddies. One team's going to win kind of big. I'll have to pick the Bucs though this time.
My Pick: The Bucs

New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys(-3.5)
Why how surprising are the Giants this season. They looked like they would be a big disappointment with Kurt Warner when losing to the Redskins in their season opener. However, they won the next three. Dallas doesn't look that shabby either with Vinny Testaverde as their QB with Keyshawn Johnson. The Giants special teams though, man! They SUCK! I didn't really keep track of how many field goals they missed last week. I lost count after 3 haha. I will give the Giants the benefit of the doubt. I'm thinking that their kicker must've been practicing a lot this week for putting on such a embarrassing display.
My Pick: The Giants

Minnesota Vikings(-3.5) @ Houston Texans
Sorry Ted my friend. I know you're living in Houston now, but who's going to go against Minnesota with Randy Moss and Daunte Culpepper. Sure Moss hurt his ankle a little at practice this week, but I'm sure he'll still be ok. They still got Ontario Smith in their lineup. Yea, the Texans won two in a row, and David Carr cut his hair for winning the deuce, but expect him to have the hippy look again.
My Pick: The Vikings

Buffalo Bills @ New York Jets(-7)
I've always liked Buffalo. C'mon with players they ahd before like Thurman Thomas, Jim Kelly, Andre Reed, and Bruce Smith. Now who do they have? Drew Bledsoe? Well I still like Buffalo. They tried to prove themselves last week against New England, but sorry, the Bills were just dominated. The Jets, they haven't played a real contender yet, but they haven't lost a game either.
My Pick: The Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars(-2.5) vs San Diego Chargers
Wow, only a -2.5 spread. This makes it hard. Sure we want the clear cut winner, the Jags to be the winner. However, I really like the Chargers Drew Brees' and Ladamin Tomlinson. I don't even know if I spelled his name right, but no time to check now. I'm going against instinct of the Chargers and going with statistics with the Jags. Jags Defense may best the Chargers
My Pick: The Jags

Carolina Panthers @ Denver Broncos
This team man. They have good defense. However, offense just isn't there. No Stephen Davis. No Steve Smith. I won't put down Deshaun Foster because he's not a bad player at all. Jake Delholmme vs Jake Plummer. Sorry Carolina fans, my toilet's needs fixing, and I have to call a plummer(plumber) Get it? ha I guess not.
My Pick: The Broncos

St. Louis Rams @ Seattle Seahawks (-6.5)
Saint Louis. What a disappointment. They got Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, and Marshall Faulk. One big disadvantage: Marc Bulger. He needs to keep his turnovers down. C'mon Rams Defense, do something. They lost my spreads this year. Until they can redeem themselves, I'll have to go with the other team. C'mon now. They didn't even beat the spread against the Cardinals season opener. Hey, but this week's opposing team isn't that hard to pick. The Seahawks. They're one of my favorites to go all the way this year. Win by a touchdown? No problem
My Pick: The Seahawks

Arizona @ San Francisco(-2)
Haha, this is probably the hardest one of them all. Well the Niners do have Kevan Barlow. Their QB Tim Rattay returned. However, Emmitt Smith was the first person over 35 to make 100 yards last week. Lets make this game interesting. How bout hmmm .... haha this is a toss up
My Pick: The Cardinals - Surprised? Maybe I am too

Baltimore Ravens @ Washington Redskins(no spread seen)
I've only bet on the Redskins once this season. That was against the Giants in the season opener. I won that won. Why haven't I bet against them the other games? I didn't think they were strong enough, but wasn't willing to count them out. It looks like I've done a good thing and not bet on them though. Falling to 1-3 after winning the first. Not looking good. Baltimore's defense is a force to be reckoned with. What's happening with Jamaal Lewis? Man that's Baltimore's offense right there. If he's not suspended for this week's game, I'll go with Baltimore. If he is, sorry, it's to Washington
My Pick: Read Last couple sentences of above

Tennessee Titans @ Greenbay Packers (no spread)
No Spread? It's because McNair is questionable for this week coming back from injury. Brett Favre had a concussion last week. That dude's crazy. Doctor's told him he couldn't play the rest of the game last week after his concussion, he went back into the field when the doctors didn't, told back up QB Doug Pederson to basically get on the sideline, and Favre threw for a touch down. Amazing. Doctors then told Favre he couldn't play anymore that game and told him to stay put. Well I won't pick this one since I have no idea of the status of either team.
My Pick: No Pick

Lets see how I do this week. Note: My picks may differ if any new injuries occur.
