What an emotional roller coaster this season is turning out to be. As hard as I try to keep this \u2018game\u2019 we so enjoy in perspective, I have to admit that games like last Sunday\u2019s leave me in a funk that can only be cured by either time or a victory over a competitive opponent. Do the Faiders at home qualify? No, they don\u2019t. I know every victory in this league is well earned and deserved, but until we beat the Chargers my dark cloud still looms over a victory stolen by some of the worse officiating I\u2019ve ever seen. It sure would be nice if the league would worry less about what color shoes and socks players wear and more about getting the calls right on the field. <\/p>\n
Time to run the table and it starts against a former coach that put so many of us in this same kind of funk for years on end.<\/p>\n
As far as last week\u2019s picks are concerned – The Pack over Atlanta at home and the Vikes over the Gnats in Flushing? Are you kidding me?<\/p>\n
Tampa Bay at Atlanta<\/b>
\nThe Bucs don\u2019t get to travel with their own officiating crew do they?
\nPick \u2013 Falcons<\/p>\n
Pittsburgh at Baltimore<\/b>
\nLook for Cowher to turn the Duce loose.
\nPick \u2013 Steelers<\/p>\n
Carolina at Chicago<\/b>
\nIt will be sad to see one of these teams\u2019 winning streak come to an end. The Bears are good, but can\u2019t put up enough points to win this one.
\nPick \u2013 Panthers<\/p>\n
Miami at Cleveland<\/b>
\nThe \u2018who cares\u2019 pick of the week.
\nPick \u2013 Dolphins<\/p>\n
Detroit at Dallas<\/b>
\nUnfortunately, pukes win easily. This may not be such a bad thing. They\u2019ll be reading their own press clippings and make it a pleasurable Turkey Day.
\nPick \u2013 Pukes<\/p>\n
New Orleans at Patriots<\/b>
\nThe Pats still lead their division, while the Saints have lost five straight and seven of their last eight.

Arizona at St. Louis<\/b>
\nHere’s another \u2018who cares\u2019 pick.
\nPick \u2013 Rams<\/p>\n
Jacksonville at Tennessee<\/b>
\nThe Jags have beaten every bad team they\u2019ve played. Look for that to continue.
\nPick \u2013 Jaguars<\/p>\n
Oakland at Washington<\/b>
\nCoach Williams will scheme to shut their Moss down, as our Moss will make more big plays. Please, no blitzing Springs!
\nPick \u2013 Redskins<\/p>\n
Seattle at San Francisco<\/b>
\nAlexander continues to work on his rushing title and his big -and well deserved – contract.
\nPick \u2013 Seahawks<\/p>\n
Indianapolis at Cincinnati<\/b>
\nBoth teams come in rested after bye weeks. The Edge and company have a big game against the Bungles\u2019 24th ranked rushing defense.
\nPick \u2013 Colts<\/p>\n
New York Jets at Denver<\/b>
\nNo contest.
\nPick \u2013 Broncos<\/p>\n
Buffalo at San Diego<\/b>
\nThe Chargers try to keep pace with the Broncos.
