NFL picks will have to be done in double-time this week, since I'm about to leave to go play basketball. Without further ado or taunting of Lucas:

IND at MIA: Ah, the marquee matchup of the week already. Miami's starting Griese again, but the Colts are a bit better than the Chargers. IND

NYG at NYJ: The battle of crappy New York teams that don't play in New York. NYG

NO at TB: Last year the Saints somehow beat the Bucs twice. Won't happen again. TB

JAX at BAL: My apologies again to Lisa, but the Jaguars are pitiful. The Ravens aren't that great either, but still...BAL

CAR at HOU: Houston will not score a point in this game. CAR

SD at CHI: How do the Bears get to play so many crappy teams? SD

OAK at DET: It's a home game, so the Lions actually have a chance of winning, but they won't. OAK

PIT at SEA: The Steelers just looked terrible against the Rams last week. Terrible. SEA

CIN at AZ: Goodness, this won't be pretty. Kitna could throw for 400 yards against the Cardinals. CIN

STL at SF: The Rams are rolling, but it's time for them to play outdoors again. At this point the Niners are wracked by injuries and Terrell Owens' mouth though. STL

PHI at ATL: Will the Falcons ever win again? Perhaps. PHI

WAS at DAL: Can this really be called an upset special? Not really, but I hate the Cowboys anyway. WAS

GB at MIN: Lucas, get ready for your season to be over. MIN

NE at DEN: It's time for the Patriots' annual loss to the Broncos. It's the one sure sign that Winter is coming. DEN
