Really quickly, here are my picks for this week.

(Home Teams in Bold)

Baltimore -3 1/2
San Francisco +10 1/2
New England -17 1/2
Houston +1 1/2
Tampa Bay +1 1/2
New Orleans -7 1/2
Arizona +7 1/2
Kansas City +2 1/2
Cincinnati -6 1/2
Minnesota +9 1/2
Philadelphia -4 1/2
Seattle -9 1/2
Pittsburgh -3 1/2
Jacksonville +3 1/2

I have no idea what my record is right now. I'll have to add it up and see when I get a chance. Been struggling recently with my job disappearing. I will try to update this more often, but it might take a week or two still.

Week 6 Picks

Next week will mark the return of my weekly picks and updates for both my website and this blog.

In the meantime here are my week 6 NFL spread picks:

(Home teams in bold)

St Louis +9 1/2
Green Bay -3 1/2
Tennessee +2 1/2
Kansas City +3 1/2
Philadelphia -2 1/2
Houston +6 1/2
Chicago -5 1/2
Miami +4 1/2
Arizona -4 1/2
Oakland +10 1/2
New England -4 1/2
Seattle -6 1/2
New York Giants -3 1/2

Missed my suicide pick last week and game of the week last week, both Green Bay. To try and make up for it, I am going to pick the Miami Dolphins to win straight up against the Cleveland Browns on the road.

Week 5 Picks

This ended up being a lost week as far as my blog and website go. I haven't been able to update wither of them much this week. In the upcomming week, I will come up with my player rankings and a more detailed approach for the reasons for my picks.

Here is my suicide pick for Week 5

Green Bay Packers over Chicago Bears

Also, here are my week 5 spread pick winners (Bold denotes home team)

Miami +5 1/2
Jacksonville -2 1/2
New York Giants -3 1/2
New Orleans -3 1/2
New England -15 1/2
Washington -3 1/2
Atlanta +8 1/2
Arizona -2 1/2
Pittsburgh -6 1/2
Tampa Bay +10 1/2
Baltimore -3 1/2
Denver -1 1/2
Green Bay -3 1/2
Dallas -10 1/2

And Finally, my spread pick of the week is:
the same as my suicide pick; Green Bay over Chicago.

M.A.S.H. Unit

I'm sure I'm not the only one here who has this right now. In one of my fantasy football leagues, here is who I had out for the day, either from injuries or bye weeks. I barely had enough to play and I had to make two late roster moves to field a proper team. Here's a list of the players in my M.A.S.H Unit:

Lendale White - bye
Maurice Jones-Drew - bye
Steven Jackson - injured
Ahman Green - injured
Javon Walker - injured
Anquain Boldin - injured
Lamont Jordan - injured in today's game
Marvin Harrison - injured in today's game
Donovan McNabb - sucks unless he's playing Detroit

59 points this week, aw baby!

Oh, by the way, I'm 8-4 so far on my NFL spread picks this week so far.

Hip Hip ...

Hurray!

I can't celebrate too much with my suicide pick, as I think almost everyone in America went with Dallas over St. Louis. I should have made this my NFL spread pick of the week (Doh!)

3-1 on the year.

Went to the Lions well once too often

Well, right on queue, my first weekly NFL spread pick of the week went south ... in a hurry.

Chicago's in some big time trouble right about now. An interception return for a touchdown, a kickoff return for a touchdown, a Lions rushing touchdown, and 2 passing touchdowns ... oh and one blocked extra point for a robust 34 points scored by the Detroit Lions in the fourth quarter.

Are you freaking kidding me? Make that an NFL record 34 points in the fourth quarter for the Lions ... and they finish the game with 37 points.

286 yards, 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions for Greise on 51 passing attempts. Where's the running game? Where was the defense in the fourth quarter? Why are you passing 51 times in a game that you were up 13-3 at the start of the fourth?

This game was in the bank ... I already earmarked it as a lock. Where's Rex Grossman when you need him ... oh yeah that's right. And I don't think the defense can use the same excuse this week as they made last week. I don't think the Lions offense really "wore them down."

So far, it seems like any well-reasoned thought that I post on this board gets blown back in my face with the double-gooch, and Nelson from the Simpsons laughing at me. No Whammy! No Whammy! No Whammy! STOP! Aw man! And I really wanted that 1986 Yugo and $800.

That makes me 0-1 for my pick of the week. Let's roll on with this exercise in futility ... next week baby! Going for 1-1. (You suck Bears)
