I went 3-2.. barely made it last week.
For this week Ill go for:
The Oakland Raiders, sure, they lost, but they had a great game against the Chargers!
The New Orleans Saints, after seeing Brees with 6 TDs just cant go against the saints. Specially if Mcnabb is out.
The San Francisco 49ers, didnt watch them this week, but I feel they'll have a good season.
Ugh! This one is sooo hard, I'll go with the Dallas Cowboys just because they are playing at home, otherwise Id go for a draw mad .
And lastly, the Indianapolis Colts, although the Dolphins had an awesome season, it might not be enough to be the colts.

WoW, here I thought I went into the week getting a 5-0, but went back and looked at my picks, and accidently placed the Raiders over San Diego last week. Typo of the year on my behalf. I don't know what mind set I was in when I let that one slip, but oh well. 4-1 is nothing to cry about. I was in a rush to get my picks out and accidently put Raiders down instead of the Chargers, I'll be more careful this week.

Oakland at Kansas City- The Raiders nearly pulled an upset Monday, is it because they are getting better? Or San Diego loosing steam. Two injuries to the chargers starting offensive line has me thinking it's the latter, Where as KC had an impressive day, all be it a lossing effort against Baltimore without Cassel, IF Cassel is able to play, I will give it to KC, if not... well they played well enough on offense without him to convince me that they should be fine.

WINNER- Kansas City Chiefs

New Orleans at Philadelphia- No McNabb, no Problem, Sign Jeff Garcia. No doubt he's a great QB, a good sign, but he hasn't played for the Eagles since 2006, he may be familiar with the offensive scheme overall, but less than a week practicing with the starting unit could be bad. The Saints on the other hand put up a lot of numbers last week, but against a poor Lions team, I know Brees and company can do just as well against elite teams, but how will their Defense hold up?

WINNER- New Orleans Saints

Seattle at San Francisco- Yeah Seattle got a big win, but it was against arguably the worst team in the NFL the Rams, while the 49ers were able to beat the defending NFC Champion and NFC West champion Cardinals. BUT if they are going to win against the Seahawks, they need to have a better effort on their offensive line, for a team which head coach Mike Singletary said was going to be a Run dominant offense, then only get 30 yards on 22 carries by Gore, they need to step it up if they want to win this one... And I think they can.

WINNER- San Francisco 49ers

N.Y. Giants at Dallas- The Giants won, but not as impressively as they should have, Eli wasn't bad, but it showed how much he misses a solid #1 reciever right about now. As for Dallas, no T.O., No problem. Williams really stepped it up and became the receiver Romo needs, I see these teams splitting their division match ups, home teams take the wins.

WINNER- Dallas Cowboys

Indianapolis at Miami- Both teams lacked the normal punch I expected in their week 1 performancs, but in the Colts defense they were playing a divisional Rival Jaguars team, which regardless of how bad they are, always plays the Colts tough. For the Dolphins, They have the potential of rebounding and being playoff calibre, but they need to fix the Wildcat, they lost the element of suprise with the Wildcat formation which made it so successful last season, revamp the offense so they know how to properly use the Wildcat in a more wildcat wise NFL, and they should be fine, but that will take a little while to tweek on the fly.

WINNER- Indianapolis Colts

Recap- Chiefs, Saints, 49ers, Cowboys, Colts

saints over eagles
Raiders over chiefs
that are my picks. this week only doing 2. tho the saints going to beat my eagles crying oh will at list they will win who am i kidding saints can beat my team whit there eyes close.
