NFL Winners & Losers: Week 6

Ravens @ Colts
I've been giving the Colts the benefit of the doubt all season, but the bottom line is they just don't look good this year. If they struggled with the Texans and a back-up QB, the Ravens should give them big problems. At the same time, the Ravens offense is very suspect as well so I'm gonna go with the Colts one last time. Plus, they're winless at home this year and I doubt they're gona fall to 0-3 in their new home. If they do I'm sure they'll start making plans to resurrect the RCA Dome lol.

Bears @ Falcons
If Kyle Orton can play like he did last week I don't think the Falcons have a chance. If he doesn't, they still have a awesome defense so I'll take the Bears.

Lions @ Vikings
The Vikings look terrible and if it wasn't for Martin Gramatica they would've lost on Monday. With that being said, the Lions look even worse! Plus, Kitna isn't playing. Vikings all day.

Raiders @ Saints
The Saints finally got rid of Gramatica... okay they didn't get rid of him, but after costing them another game they should have lol. He's on IR for the remainer of the season so I'm going with New Orleans

Bengals @ Jets
The Bengals don't suck as bad as everyone thinks they do, I promise, but I'll take Favre over Ryan Fitzgerald any day.

Panthers @ Buccaneers
Jeff Garcia is back in the driver seat for the Bucs and he has something to prove so I'm gonna rock with them in a slim victory over the Panthers.

Rams @ Redskins
If they Rams beat the Redskins I'm gonna laugh, laugh, laugh! I doubt they will, but if they do, I'm gonna fall-the-fuck-out! lol.

Dolphins @ Texans
This is a tough one! The Texans are angry and are poised for their first win of the season, but Dolphins have looked great in their last 2 games. It all depends on well the Houston can defend that Ronnie Brown and that wild cat offense...and I'm sure keeping Sage Rosenfels on the sideline so he can't go all U.S. Track and Field again might help lol. My gut is telling me to pick the Dolphins so my gut I shall follow.

Jaguars @ Broncos
This should be a good game, but I don't think the Broncos' defense is ready to see Taylor and Jones-Drew. That one to punch will likely next Denver out so I'm going with the Jags.

Eagles @ 49ers
Generally, after Donovan McNabb comes out with a statement about how poorly the Eagles play, they win. For that reason, I'm going with Philly.

Packers @ Seahawks
I still don't know how healthy Aaron Rodgers is, but he's gotta be more healthy than he was last week when he threw for 300 yards and that's a good thing for the Pack. Couple that with Hasselbeck being out this week and I think the Packers get back in the win column.

Cowboys @ Cardinals
This game isn't gonna be as easy as some might assume, the Cardinals' passing game is strong and the Cowboys' secondary is weak. Look for Warner to spread the 'Boys out and throw a bunch of bombs to Fitzgerald and Breaston. As long as Romo can avoid those costly mistakes and put up big numbers Dallas should be able to take this in a shoot out.

Patriots @ Chargers
Isn't this great?? The 2 victims of Miami's wild cat offense get to play each other! I wonder which will turn to it first?? lol. Anyway, Belichick opened up the playbook a little bit for Matt Cassel last week in San Francisco which isn't good for Patriot haters like myself, but the Chargers need this win too bad to let a Brady-less Pats team take this from them. I'm going with the Bolts.

Giants @ Browns
I saw the Giants toss the one-win Browns up in the preseason so I'm predicting this will look a lot like that game. Hmm, I wonder if anyone else noticed the Giants have played teams with a combined record of (4 of those wins coming from the Redskins)?? I doubt it because how else could you explain the Cowboys beating the Bengals by 9 as "barely" winning and the Giants beating them by 3 in overtime as a "strong" win??

Last Week Record: 7-6
Overall Record: 7-6
