That was an embarrassing loss that can only be erased with a win this week against Philthy.  Besides the home team let- down, Denver and St. Louis continue to impress, while it\u2019s the same ole same ole for the Vikes, Pack, Lions, Browns and Titans.  Thanks to the 9ers for handing the Bucs a conference loss.  Also special thanks for all the well wishes on the latest addition to the Texas Hog family.  Everyone is doing great!<\/p>\n<p><b>Cincinnati at Baltimore <\/b><br \/>\nJamal Lewis continues to run like he doesn\u2019t want to get hurt and even went so far as to say so.<br \/>\nPick \u2013 Bengals<\/p>\n<p><b>Tennessee at Cleveland <\/b><br \/>\nAs hard as it is to pick the Browns, I have to pick them at home and with the better defense.<br \/>\nPick \u2013 Browns<\/p>\n<p><b>Houston at Jacksonville <\/b><br \/>\nThe Texans still stink.<br \/>\nPick \u2013 Jags<\/p>\n<p><b>Oakland at Kansas City <\/b><br \/>\nThis is always an easy pick.  The Faiders never win in KC.  Look for Holmes and Larry Johnson to have a big day rushing.<br \/>\nPick \u2013 Chiefs<\/p>\n<p><b>Atlanta at Miami <\/b><br \/>\nThis is probably the toughest pick of the week.  The Fish could pull off the upset, but I like the Falcon defense and running game.<br \/>\nPick \u2013 Falcons<\/p>\n<p><b>Detroit at Minnesota <\/b><br \/>\nThis is the surprise pick of the week.  At home and with Brad Johnson at the helm, look for the Vikes to win a close one.  Plus, Harrington may start.<br \/>\nPick \u2013 Vikes<\/p>\n<p><b>San Diego at New York Jets <\/b><br \/>\nThe Jets have the 30th ranked rush defense.  Look for LT and the rest of the Charger offense to have a big day and put up a bunch of points.<br \/>\nPick \u2013 Chargers<\/p>\n<p><b>Carolina at Tampa Bay <\/b><br \/>\nThe Panther\u2019s rushing defense will force Simms to beat them.  It won\u2019t happen.<br \/>\nPick \u2013 Panthers<\/p>\n<p><b>Seattle at Arizona <\/b><br \/>\nAlexander will continue his dominance over the Cards and pad his stats, helping his campaign for a new (well deserved) contract.  The Hawks continue to roll.<br \/>\nPick \u2013 Seahawks<\/p>\n<p><b>Chicago at New Orleans <\/b><br \/>\nHaslett said it best \u2013 they\u2019re a bad football team.<br \/>\nPick \u2013 Bears<\/p>\n<p><b>New York Giants at San Francisco <\/b><br \/>\nThe 9ers will be starting their fourth-string QB.  At least they\u2019ll have an excuse if they get shut out and flat out spanked!<br \/>\nPick \u2013 Giants<\/p>\n<p><b>Pittsburgh at Green Bay <\/b><br \/>\nRoethlisberger is hobbled but will surely play, and he and the Steelers will, as usual, play just well enough to win.<br \/>\nPick \u2013 Steelers<\/p>\n<p><b>Philadelphia at Washington <\/b><br \/>\nAs bad as Philthy is playing, it\u2019s still hard to find a reason to pick the Skins.  Who besides me will hate hearing N.D. Kalu\u2019s name over and over, with Samuel\u2019s being out or at least hobbled?  The Skins have lost 3 of their last 4 and haven\u2019t beaten the Eagles since 11\/25\/01 (seven in a row).  That doesn\u2019t change Sunday.<br \/>\nPick \u2013 Philthy<\/p>\n<p><b>Indianapolis at New England <\/b><br \/>\nThink the Colts will be fired up for his one?  The Colts will finally get their win over the Pats.  Their first since October 2000.<br \/>\nPick \u2013 Colts<\/p>\n<p><b>Last Week\u2019s Results:<\/b>\t 9-5<br \/>\n<b>Season To Date:<\/b>\t70-46<\/p>\n<p>Edit: This blog was archived in May of 2016 from our original articles database.It was originally posted by Frank Hastings<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a long week to belong to the Redskin Nation.
