We had an okay week last week, though there were a couple we missed. I'm okay with being wrong on at least two of them, though - there was no way to know that Denver would lose to Kansas City, and I'd pick Dallas over Washington again if I had the choice. Like every week, we'll just try to do a little better than we did the week before. Here goes:

Tennessee at Baltimore - I've given up trying to figure out how the Titans are doing it. I just know that whatever they are doing is working. If their defense does what it has been doing, Joe Flacco could have a long day. The Ravens are coming off a tough loss and a short week of practice. This one will be close, and it won't be particularly high scoring, but I think the Titans will remain undefeated. Take Tennessee.

Seattle at N.Y. Giants - The Seahawks haven't traveled across the country much as their only road game thus far was Week 1 at Buffalo. It's not like they have been exactly tearing it up in their own time zone, though. I don't think that the Giants are as good as their record would indicate, but they are still the better team here. Especially at home. Take the Giants.

Washington at Philadelphia - This is a very hard one to pick, but that has quickly become the norm in the tough NFC East. Philly is coming off a tough loss last week, but they are a much better team at home. Washington will surely come down off their cloud a bit after a big win in Dallas. This one should be a slugfest, but the edge has to go to the guys who are sleeping in their own beds. Take the Eagles.

San Diego at Miami - The Chargers have been a frustrating mess for much of this year. The Dolphins have been pleasantly solid. That being said, San Diego has much more talent here, and they have been playing better of late. Miami could make it interesting, as the Raiders did last week, but the Chargers just have too many weapons. Take San Diego.

Chicago at Detroit - Despite not really having a quarterback to speak of, the Bears have been surprisingly good. The Lions, on the other hand, have been just awful. The Bears are tougher, bigger, and better. They have better coaching, better talent, and a clear edge here. Take Chicago.

Atlanta at Green Bay - I have been saying all year that the Pack will have problems because Aaron Rodgers is fragile. It took four games for me to be proven prophetic. Rodgers has a sore shoulder, and he's only doing handoffs in practice this week. He may not play, and if he does he won't be at his best. Green Bay is the more talented team, but Atlanta is well coached, and they will look at the QB weakness here as an opportunity to make their first big statement. Take Atlanta.

Indianapolis at Houston - Who would have thought that these teams would have a combined 1-5 record at this point? After all, Indy was supposed to walk away with their conference, and Houston had wild card potential. Now this is an ugly game. I like the heart that Matt Schaub showed last week, but Indy has had a chance to rest and heal, and they are just so much more talented. Take the Colts.

Kansas City at Carolina - I believe that lightning doesn't strike twice. The Chiefs won last week against all odds, but they did it by exploiting a ridiculously bad defense. This week they play a tougher team, and one that is playing very well so far. The Chiefs are outmatched, and this is the easiest pick on the board. Take the Panthers.

Tampa Bay at Denver - This is the hardest game of the week to call. I love Denver's offense, but their defense is a total joke. Tampa can score reasonably well, and they play defense well. It's essentially a coin flip, but in the end I think that the Bucs will be able to stop the Broncos way more than the other way around. Take Tampa Bay.

Buffalo at Arizona - This is the biggest test that the best story in the league has faced so far. Buffalo is undefeated, but they will have to find a way to score a bunch here, because the Cardinals have no problem on that front. I'm a bit concerned by how the Bills will travel, but they are well coached, hungry, and talented. I think their defense can cause Kurt Warner to make mistakes, and that gives them an edge. Take Buffalo.

New England at San Francisco - You win office pools by taking a few gambles and being right when most people are wrong. This is one of those times. Everyone is going to be on New England. The Niners play good defense, though, and they will be fired up at home. That is not good news for Matt Cassel. Their offense is solid, too. I give San Francisco a slight edge here, and that makes them the pick.

Cincinnati at Dallas - This has all the ingredients to be ridiculously ugly. Dallas has to be frustrated by their loss last week, and they'll be looking to make a statement. The Bengals are a complete mess in every sense of the word. Dallas is the clear pick. The only really interesting part of this game is the number of troublemakers involved - Ocho Cinco, Henry, Jones, Owens, Johnson. That's a lot of fun for one stadium.

Pittsburgh at Jacksonville - The Jaguars aren't quite right - they aren't as good as they are supposed to be. The Steelers haven't been perfect, either, and their running back situation is the most laughable thing since Seattle's receiver woes. Pittsburgh is coming off a tough game, Jacksonville has the advantage of being at home, and they are hungry for wins to try to keep close with the Titans. Take the Jaguars.

Minnesota at New Orleans - The Monday night special is another tough one. Both teams should be better than they are. Minnesota is a real disappointment, and is danger of falling out of contention in a division they should be running away with. New Orleans is firing on all cylinders offensively, but still seems to think that defense is overrated. This one could be a shootout. In that case I have to go with the better quarterback. Take New Orleans.
