Okay, here I go...
Dolphins - Why? Because they are my team, and I never give up.
Jaguars - I just thought I'd give the Cowboys a chance to win.
Redskins - I don't know why. Certainly NOT because Kansas is a loyal family member here.
Chiefs - You all know why
Packers - Same as Chiefs
Broncos - If they aren't mad enough to win this week, they'll probably never win again.
Rams - Coin toss
Chargers - Coin toss
Buccaneers - I almost forgot the Cardinals were still a team
Vikings - Brett Favre lives to start yet another day...
Seahawks - Because it makes good ol' LadyHawk so happy when the Seahawks win!!
Saints - Because Steelers' QB is a lying P.O.S. scumbag
Colts! - I'm going to be there, with Ms Bags, who is a big Indy fan...

I like that attitude! Just keep picking them until they prove you right. Hell, nobody's perfect, or as my dad used to say, nobody bats a thousand.

Bro with a 1-6 record I have to have a sense of humor.

[Emeritus]

I sincerely believe that happiness is all about attitude. I think that it depends a lot less on circumstances than on how we react to them. I get up every morning and decide to have a good day. It doesn't always work, but mostly it does.

It's called your daily affirmation.

[Emeritus]

I'd never put a label on it, but it's worked so far.

Dolphins (hoping that Palmer doesn't find his old rhythm this week) Carpenter with 5 FGs again, and the game wasn't stolen this time!
Cowboys (just because) well it was just because
Redskins (the Lions are actually favored?) I guess that's why they were favored. (don't get the McNabb benching?)
Chiefs (Aerial assault and wouldn't be surprised if Bills came out on top) Bills had a couple of shots in OT, but came up short.
Jets (the better team and at home) Turns out the better team was The Packers.
Broncos (Buh Bye Sing) Sing lives for at least another week
Rams (home field)
Chargers (Not a Titans fan and about time for the Chargers to stop making mistakes)
Cardinals (They win every other week)
Patriots (would love to be wrong)
Seahawks (Have I told you I hate the Raiders?)
Saints (should be a good game and giving it to home field)
Colts (Texans finally have a shot to win there) BTW I need 50 points for my over bet

[SteveTheCat]

Dolphins @ Bengals Dolphins ""Looks at Try, Points fingers at own eyes and back at his""
The Dolphins are away from home and playing a pretty good team, It seems like this should be a lock for the Bengals, but I am sticking with the Dolphins. I have to believe that Henne to Marshall is going to happen, still waiting for more than one.

Jaguars @ Cowboys Cowboys
Romo is out and none too soon he could have been pulled a few years ago in my opinion. Kitna looked pretty darn good and should help with a win against the Jags.

Redskins @ Lions Lions
Rested, relaxed at home knowing they can win a few games will help the Lions put another win on the board. The Redskins have won a few more games, but the Lions have been cheated out of a few obvious wins.

Bills @ Chiefs Chiefs
Like I said last week the “Arrowhead Advantage” and the Chiefs are using it to playing great at home. Well, that and they are a bunch of fighters not letting an opportunity pass them by. Remember though Fitzpatrick has been an amazing addition to the Bills and the Chiefs will need some big Passing Defense to win this game. Many people are still doubting the Bills, trust me check this guy out he has the intangibles of a great.

Packers @ Jets Jets
Love em’ hate em’ whatever you feel about the Jets you have to respect the skill. The Pack is beaten up and just too unhealthy to win. As you know the Pack was a preseason choice of mine for the Super Bowl and I believe they are just too thin at depth to pull out many more wins.

Broncos @ 49ers Broncos
I am not sure what words can be spoken in a public place that would describe last weeks showing by the Broncos. This pick is based on the sheer fact they cannot be the horrible two weeks in a row. How can you have one of the best producing quarterbacks in the NFL and lose to the Raiders by 45 points?

Panthers @ Rams Rams
There are no particular reasons for this pick except for home field advantage and that I still refuse to pick the Panthers even though they won just to spite me last week.

Titans @ Chargers Titans
I would like to see the Chargers get in some sort of a groove this year, but nothing has happened yet. The team has to work on Special Teams and came so very close to beating the Pats last week. They are almost there just not yet.

Buccaneers @ Cardinals Buccaneers
The Cardinals were pretty horrendous last week and just do not have the talent to win many more games. The Bucs have the slight advantage of these two lesser teams.

Vikings @ Patriots Patriots
Brett would be out playing with no arms, no legs and wheelchair if allowed. However, this does not help his team. You can have the best receivers in the NFL and if you play slow and old so does your team. The Patriots are marginally healthy and play with more speed. I look to see a lot of sacks if Favre is taking the snaps.

Seahawks @ Raiders Raiders
Well couldn’t this one go either way? The Seahawks have killed teams they shouldn’t have and been killed by teams they should have had easy victories against. I am purely given this to the Raiders on a high they must be on from the tromping of the Broncos.

Steelers @ Saints Steelers
I am not sure what happened to the Saints. I cannot believe that Reggie Bush is the missing link on this team. The Steelers are playing decent ball and seem to be holding it together no matter the issues to get some wins.

Texans @ Colts Colts
To me the Texans are that feel good team of the year. I would like to see them continue winning and have their best year ever. With that said winning against the Colts at home is tough for any team. That stadium is so loud Vuvuzelas couldn’t be heard.

Yeah I know spelling and grammatical errors run amok there... Hmmm how does A Mok run anyhow?

By carefully studying all of the teams and their relative performances, I managed to finish dead last. It was an achievement, but I don't know if it was worth the effort.

Good afternoon CK, you need to post pix on your FB page. Sounds like a terrific time. Cheers - 16

I didn't take any pix, 16, but IndiannaJenn did. She tagged me with 3 pix (the ones I am in), but probably has posted many others on her page...
