You all know the drill, I'm 66-52 while Lucas is 81-37. It will take some sort of miracle for me to overtake him this season, perhaps I should take a dive so I get a good draft pick next year. Anyway, here are my picks this week:

BAL at ATL: ATL. Like Michael Vick, the Ravens' winning streak has disappeared in a cloud of dust. From Super Bowl champions to starting Jeff Blake at QB in a span of 2 years, what a sad story.

NE at BUF: NE. The Patriots were flying through their games earlier this season, racking up points and playing stingy defense. A few games later, Bill "Defensive Guru" Belichick decided to completely stop running the ball, and voila! There went the Patriots offense. And his defense has been nothing short of horrible. But now they get to tee off against the statuesque Bledsoe. If Ty Law and...I can't believe I'm saying this...30-some-odd-year-old Otis Smith can cover Moulds and Price for a few seconds, the Pats should be able to blitz Bledsoe back to last season.

PHI at CHI: PHI. I don't think the Bears could score on anybody right now. Anthony Thomas looks like the below-average back that he is, teams are starting to realize that Marty Booker is the only decent receiver they have, and the Crystal Chandelier himself Chris Chandler is starting at quarterback. And I get to see them play next week against the Patriots.

PIT at CLE: PIT. Just when you think the Browns are done, they go and rally from an 18-point deficit like they did last week. Unfortunately, the Steelers ain't the Jets.

DAL at DET: DET. It would take a lot for me to pick Dallas to win another football game this season. I know the Lions are bad, but now that Emmitt has his record there is absolutely nothing for the Cowboys to play for anymore.

TEN at IND: TEN. Want to know how silly the whole 8-division thing is? If the Titans win this game (which they will), they will be tied for their division lead. At 4-4. After almost losing to the Bengals. Too bad I can't move Lucas into another division so that my crappy record could put me in first place.

MIN at TB: MIN. It's bound to happen one of these days. The Bucs can't keep winning without any sort of offense. I know Daunte throws a lot of picks, I know that Moss may or may not be incarcerated for this game, I know that Michael Bennett is...Michael Bennett, but I just have a feeling. Call it my upset special.

CIN at HOU: CIN. Holy Moses, the world has ceased spinning on its axis! I've picked the Bengals to win an NFL football game! I say this because this is their best chance all season to win a game, and only one team in history has gone 0-16. So I'm playing the odds.

NYJ at SD: SD. Once again, the Jets have become the joke of the NFL. All is right in the world again.

WAS at SEA: WAS. Finally, a team took my advice and signed Jeff George. Mark my words, he'll be starting in 2 weeks. In Steve Spurrier news, he apparently decided he did not have enough former University of Florida players on his team, so he signed Falcons castoff Willie Jackson. And congratulations Chris Doering for your first (and only) career touchdown catch last week!

STL at AZ: STL. There's no need for me to justify why the Cardinals will lose anymore. Unfortunately I have to start Jake Plummer on my fantasy team this week. Yikes.

SF at OAK: SF. The Raiders were flying through their games earlier this season, racking up points and playing stingy defense. A few injuries later, "Wild Bill" Callahan decided to completely stop running the ball, and voila! There went the Raiders offense. Sounds very familiar...

JAX at NYG: JAX. I don't think the Giants could beat anybody right now. You thought their offense was struggling before? Now Ike Hilliard is out for the season.

MIA at GB: GB. Ray Lucas is still running the Miami offense. Granted he's had 2 weeks of practice to prepare for the Packers depleted secondary thank to a bye last week, but still...it's Ray Lucas.
