Quiet Football Sunday - Updated
**Update: let's see how I did on my picks - shall we?!?!**
This week it's just Cody and I for football Sunday. Kinda quiet, but should still be a good day.
My takes for this week? So glad you asked.
The Falcons will take New Orleans. I don't even think this one will be close. Well, Falcons win but it was VERY CLOSE!! Damn, right down to a field goal.
Carolina vs Detroit could be a toss up. In fact I'm going with the Lions on this. Too much going on with Carolina. Detroit had it, right up to the end. I flipped over to ck my Bucs and flip back - Carolina wins?!?!?
Bengals over Titans. No doubt in my mind. Finally - one I called correctly with no sweat.
Browns over Ravens. Why? I don't know - just a feeling. That feeling must have been gas - Ravens win 16-3.
I think Pitt will lose to the Jags. Tommy Maddox? No...not so much. Pitt's in trouble. Jville wins - but what a flippin' game!! Pitt did Much better than I had reason to hope. This is one I wouldn't mind having been wrong about.
The Bears WILL beat the Vikings. Between the cruise crap and the fact that the Vikings just can't get their shit together on the field the Vikings don't look to be much of a challenge. Especially with the defense the Bears have put together. Da Bears!! YEAH!!
Giants over Dallas. Partly because I hate Dallas. But I just think the Giants have pulled it together. Manning to Burress is a great match!! Add in that cutie pie Tiki Barber (who usually plays very well against them Cowboys) and it's a recipe for a win. Another incredible game. I really thought the Giants would win....damn them C'boys anyway.
I think the 'Skins will take the Chiefs. Even though Gonzalez will finally be allowed to play HIS game, I just don't think it will be enough for a victory. KC did it - another one I'm glad to be wrong about. Never have been a big 'Skins fan.
Denver WILL beat New England. 'Nuff said. Yep. Denver won
Jets over the Bills. (Sorry GEBIV). Well, I missed that one too.
The Chargers will crush the Raiders. San Diego is looking GREAT and I think they will end up running all over those Raiders. Chargers took that one!!
Indy will beat the Rams, but I think that should be one hell of a game. (Of course, it's MNF and I. Can't. Watch.)
Houston will lose to the SeaHawks. Joe J. is looking very good - and he is one of my favorite Recievers. (what a nice boy he is). So yes, this is sentimental - but so what. I'm a girl! Sue Me.
Finally - last but not least - The Buc's SHOULD - I say SHOULD - beat Miami. It'll be a game. Miami vs TB usually is. BUCS WIN!! BUCS WIN!!!
But then again - you already know who I'll be screamin' for!!!!
BOOOO!!! Go Pats! to play in Denver is pretty rought though...

Never, never, ever bet on the Lions to win.
How many times do I need to repeat myself on this fact?
Hmmm?
I didn't even pick the Lions to win in my picks.
Posted by: Machelle at October 17, 2005 02:27 PMJags vs. Steelers is ALWAYS an excellent game no matter where either team is in the standings.
Until yesterday's win, after 16 meetings it was 8 wins each and many of the final scores were by a touchdown or less, the game decided in the last few minutes.
Whenever they play each other, make it a "must watch."

Just couldn't do it, though.
I have no love for the Bears, but I can at least respect them because they're an outdoor team.
Rooting for dome-babies is just blasphemous.
