Looking ahead to Sunday

It was a great game on Thursday-The Jets proved they are the class of a very competetive AFC East. But now let's have a look at the other NFL games this weekend.

Denver vs. Atlanta- The Falcons are doing great. Both the run and passing games are spectacular. They are a stark contrast to last year's Falcons. Denver, well, they're on top of the AFC West but the conference sucks and their defense is terrible, so I gotta go with the FALCONS.

Philadelphia vs. Cincinatti- No question here. EAGLES by at least ten points.

Chicago vs. Green Bay-This is a must-win for Green Bay. It should be a very close one, but I have to go with my PACKERS.

Houston vs. Indianapolis- The Colts seem to have a run going while the Texans are reeling off a blowout loss to Baltimore. Is Sage Rosenfels still in at QB? Yes. COLTS win.

New Orleans vs. Kansas City- I'm tempted to pick the Chiefs but that would require a "suspension of disbelief." SAINTS, but it might be closer than some think.

Miami vs. Oakland- Again, no question. DOLPHINS dismantle the Raiders.

New York vs. Baltimore- This should be a great, albeit low-scoring game. However, it seems that after watching the Colts beat Baltimore the Ravens are susceptible to the passing game. GIANTS by a close one.

Minnesota vs. Tampa Bay- The defense manhandled A-Rod last week and AP ran all over. But...they won only because Mason Crosby's kick went wide right. Note to Vikings-Tampa Bay has a better run game than Green Bay...and a better defense. CHUCKY-I mean, BUCS.

Detroit vs. Carolina- LIONS-no wait, just kidding. PANTHERS-by a lot.

St. Louis vs. San Francisco-This, I think, is largely contingent on Steven Jackson playing. Assuming he doesn't, 49ER's win.

Arizona vs. Seattle-Yes, Matt Hasslebeck is back. But he can't cause everything else that's wrong with the Seahawks to improve. CARDINALS.

Tennessee vs. Jacksonville- I can't go against my man Jeff Fisher, not against the Jaguars. TITANS.

San Diego vs. Pittsburgh-I bet Chargers' fans are missing Marty right about now. STEELERS.

Dallas vs. Washington- this should-note the word "should" be a close game. I'm gonna go with homefield advantage and pick the REDSKINS. Note, this is technically an UPSET.

Cleveland vs. Buffalo- Buffalo needs this one to stay in the playoff hunt. Yes, Brady Quinn looked good, but it was against a pathetic Denver defense. Oh yeah, and they still lost. I think coaching plays a factor in this too. Dick Jauron manhandles Romeo. BILLS.
