Last week I was 9-7 in NFL picks to move to 121-88. Lucas slipped a bit and went 7-9 to move to 133-76. Every little bit of catching-up counts, even if it's too little too late.

SEA at ATL: ATL. Besides watching Michael Vick rush for over 200 yards against the Seahawks' incredibly bad run defense, this one will be fun to watch because Jeff George makes his first start of the year against the team that tossed him away.

SD at BUF: SD. Not that I think the Chargers are good, but Buffalo's defense is so bad and they are so demoralized after another pasting by the Patriots that it shouldn't be much of a challenge.

NYJ at CHI: CHI. Upset special! As bad as the Bears look, the Jets' pass defense is near the bottom of the league and Dick Jauron will pull out some wacky trick plays.

JAX at CIN: JAX. Lots of so-called "experts" are picking the Bengals in this game, which makes me wonder if we've been watching the same NFL season.

IND at CLE: IND. Those lucky, lucky Cleveland Browns. They can't be lucky ever week though.

TB at DET: TB. If the Lions can't be the Cardinals, there's not much hope for them this season.

OAK at MIA: OAK. The December swoon teams collide in what may be the Dolphins' only chance to make the playoffs. Ricky Williams sure looked good against the crappy Bears, lets see how well he runs when his team is behind.

MIN at NO: NO. The Vikings are playing better lately, but it's too late now.

WAS at PHI: PHI. Steve Spurrier has now gone through all of his quarterbacks as starters twice. Assuming Patrick Ramsey gets picked a few times this week, the cycle begins again next Sunday.

CAR at PIT: PIT. The Panthers looked so good last week, too bad it was against a college team.

BAL at HOU: BAL. The Ravens let me down in my upset pick last week, they would be wise not to disappoint me again...

KC at DEN: DEN. Wow do the Broncos look bad right now, but the Chiefs are about due for one of those games where their defense gives up 39 points.

DAL at NYG: NYG. Set your snooze alarm for the conclusion of this game, it should be boring as hell.

GB at SF: SF. I know Lucas will pick the Packers and I need to at least try to gain some ground on him.

AZ at STL: STL. Bulgermania returns! But unfortunately so does the awful Rams offensive line. They are playing the Cardinals though, and the current St. Louis team usually beats the former St. Louis team.

NE at TEN: NE. My beloved Patriots on Monday night against a gutsy Titans team. Luckily they can still make the playoffs even if they lose this game, but let's not tempt fate guys.
