Comments:

Dr. Bones made his picks in a great hurry & is out the door & on his way up the river.

Captain Scoop, responding to these comments, writes: You're right, except for a few games this is a week full of stinko matchups.

Eagles play the browns, ravens, and steelers on consecutive weeks. How each team fares against them could determine the winner of the AFC North.

I would love to hear any possible rationale for favoring either oak or nwo in their game this week. It's like setting a loaded crack pipe between two addicts and betting on who can hold out the longest.  I guess I'll just take the points.

Rowdy: I'll take the home teams with no home wins: Miami, Kansas City, Green Bay, Carolina, and Tampa Bay. That group should deliver three covers and that will make me happy. Also, Baltimore is weak, easily the second-worst team in the AFC North. They are missing Jamal Lewis, facing the rallying Bills with Willis McGahee unleashed, and they spot the Bills a touchdown? I'm down with that. I'm in. Cleveland is scrappy, esp. at home, if mediocre in talent. They will hang around and make a game of it with Philadelphia. And the Jeff Garcia - Terrell Owens thing should make things fun. Finally, Seattle traded for that curse and troublemaker, Jerry Rice, so I expect they'll fall on their face against the better-than-expected Arizona team.
