Pick'em

Chicago 31 Arizona 34- The Bears defense has been up and down all season and the Cardinals are going to catch them on a down week. While the Bears will be able to move the ball seemingly at will against a weak secondary, it feels like they just have to rough of a road to travel this season. I thought they where a year or two away before breaking out and in this game that prediction is going to start solidifying.

Green Bay 21 Tampa Bay 17- As much as I like picking the Packers to romp all over terrible teams, I think this week will be an exception. They are playing in Florida and are coming off a tough loss to Brett Favre and the Vikings, who had the perfect time for a bye week, which set them back a few games ini the division and clearly established the hierarchy of the league. They will make enough plays to pull this one out but do not expect it to be pretty.

Detroit 10 Seattle 41- The Lions can not move the ball or score on pretty much anyone without any semblance of consistency. I played a backyard pick-up game yesterday and a friend threw 9 touchdowns, leading him to believe he could have played college football....expect that kind of game from Seattle. They will beat them so bad that they will convince themselves that they are much better than what they actually are. The letdown will happen in the next few weeks, but it will be hard to argue with them after this dismantling.
