I'm currently 8-4 on the season, and here are this week's picks:
1. Dallas vs. NY Giants These two met to open the season with the Cowboys winning 45-35. The Giants have won 6 straight games and come into this game playing much improved defense led by the pass rush. Dallas' lone loss came a the hands of the Patriots. The Cowboys passing should be able to exploit the G-Men's secondary, provided they can slow the pass rush.
PICK: Cowboys
2. San Francisco vs. Seattle Seattle's passing offense has resurfaced with the return of WR DJ Hackett, and they will possibly get back WR Deion Branch this week. San Francisco may get RB Frank Gore back this week, but the San Fran O has been unable to get anything going with him in the lineup. The 49ers have been a major disappointment this season. PICK: Seahawks
3. Cleveland vs. Pittsburgh Who would have thought the Browns would be battling for the division. The Steelers will be coming off a short week, but have played well at home this year. The Steelers have won the last 8 meetings between the two. PICK: Steelers
4. Indianapolis vs. San Diego The Chargers have been another major disappointment this season and will try to rebound from the beating they took from Adrian Peterson and the Vikes last week. The Colts are banged up and coming off the loss to the Pats, that saw them give up the lead in the 4th quarter. Look for the Colts to rebound this week. PICK: Colts
5. Jacksonville vs. Tennessee Both teams are fighting for a spot in the playoffs and have been relying on their defenses. Look for the Titans 5th ranked run D to slow down MOJO Drew and Fred Taylor. LenDale White looks to continue his streak of 100 yd games, but could use some help from Vince Young. PICK: Titans
6. Minnesota vs. Green Bay the Packers are playing great football right now and may be the outside favorite to win the NFC title. The Packers will not be able to run on Min, so they will look to take advantage of the weak secondary. The Vikings offense is very one dimensional, and maybe the Packers will realize what the Chargers couldn't, they are going to give the ball to Peterson. PICK: Packers
