Week Six Picks

Remember the days when the Eagles were the only game in town?  The Phillies were mediocre, the Sixers sucked, and I'm not sure hockey was even played for a few years.  Plus, Penn State seemed perpetually headed in the wrong direction. 

Now?  The Phillies are two wins from the World Series, the Sixers are definitely in the mix in the East, Penn State should be #4 #3 by tomorrow and I'm pretty sure hockey is against taking place.

Lot of things change.

Also, thanks to all the people who've emailed me the Sports Guy's weird rant against Andy Reid.  I will be writing about it.

Picks after the jump.

Sunday

CAR @ TB (-1.5)
Tampa Bay makes way too much sense here not to pick Carolina.

STL @ WAS (-13)
The Rams haven't lost a game by fewer than 17 points all year and the NFC East is rolling.  So of course I'm picking the Rams.

CIN @ NYJ (-6)
Cincy sucks.  Not outsmarting myself with every pick this week. 

OAK @ NO (-7.5)
The Louisianans gonna be angry after last week's inexplicable loss.

MIA @ HOU (-3)
If Houston loses this game, a couple of my friends might kill themselves.  I'd like that not to happen.

CHI (-2.5) @ ATL
Coin flip game.  In which I literally flipped a coin.  Atlanta came up tails.

DET @ MIN (-13)
The Vikings don't blow people out.

BAL @ IND (-4)
Too many points for that late-game improbably winning field goal Manning will put up.

JAX @ DEN (-3.5)
Jacksonville.  About time for the pendulum to swing back on these guys.

PHI (-4.5) @ SF
No Westbrook.  No Curtis.  No Andrews.  No Brown.  I'll take a one-point win, please.

DAL (-5) @ ARZ
In which Dalls gets its groove back.

GB @ SEA (-2)
Coin flip game #2.  Green Bay had heads.

NE @ SD (-5.5)
Vengeance game for San Diego.

Monday

NYG (-8) @ CLE
Would love to see the wheels start falling off here.  But still, that's a lot of points.
NY 24 - Cle 20
