It was a rough week for hognosticating as the hognostication pool consensus last week went a mediocre 8-8 (.500). The upsets included the Jets over the Patriots (picked by 2 of 40 hognosticators), the Brownies over the Falcons (picked by 4 of 40 hognosticators), the Dolphins over the Chiefs (picked by 8 of hognosticators) and lastly, the Texans over the Jaguars (picked by no one). <\/p>\n

Atlanta at Baltimore<\/b>
\nThe Raisins defense gave up a season high 26 points to the Titans, of all teams, last week. However, they\u2019ll be too tough at home. Vick was 16\/40 with two picks last weekend. Why would Vick be throwing the ball 40 times in any game, let alone against the Brownies at home in a low-scoring contest? Rumor has it, Vick may be on the trading block after the season, as his backup, Matt Schuab, is considered by some to be the most-talented backup QB in the league.
\nPick \u2013 Raisins <\/i><\/p>\n

St. Louis at Carolina<\/b>
\nThe Rams are banged up, have lost four straight and have one of the worst defenses in the league. The Panthers are struggling on the other side of the ball but should find a way to score enough points to win at home \u2013 namely Steve Smith. Meshawn, you\u2019re still an idiot.
\nPick \u2013 Panthers <\/i><\/p>\n

Pittsburgh at Cleveland<\/b>
\nWillie Parker rushed for 213 yards last week against the Saints. Look for him to have another monster game against Cleveland\u2019s 30th-ranked rush defense. The Steelers have won the last five against the Brownies. They\u2019ll make it six straight and 12 of the last 15 since Cleveland re-entered the league in \u201999.
\nPick \u2013 Steelers <\/i><\/p>\n

New England at Green Bay<\/b>
\nAlthough the Patriots have been running the ball well, they have struggled throwing the ball as of late. Throwing against the Packers’ secondary, which ranks dead last in passing yards per game, should help Brady\u2019s confidence and return the Patriots to their winning ways. This will be the Patriots’ first visit to Lambeau since \u201988.
\nPick \u2013 Patriots <\/i><\/p>\n

Buffalo at Houston<\/b>
\nThe Bills have lost 4 of 5 and are struggling offensively. The Texans are wishing they had the Jaguars on their schedule a few more times.
\nPick \u2013 Texans <\/i><\/p>\n

Oakland at Kansas City<\/b>
\nThe Chiefs playing at home and against a much-softer rush defense will bounce back from their loss last week to the Dolphins. Look for Larry Johnson to have a big game.
\nPick – Chiefs <\/i><\/p>\n

Minnesota at Miami<\/b>
\nTough pick. Take the Dolphins as they\u2019ve played better of late and are at home.
\nPick – Dolphins <\/i><\/p>\n

Cincinnati at New Orleans<\/b>
\nLast Sunday\u2019s game had to be very difficult for Cincinnati fans to watch, as the Bengal defense gave up 42 points in the second half against the Chargers, after jumping out to a 28-7 halftime lead. This one should be high-scoring and go either way. Taking the Saints for the same reasons as Miami.
\nPick \u2013 Saints <\/i><\/p>\n

Chicago at New York Jets <\/b>
\nJets’ fans have to be excited about where they sit right now record-wise (5-4) and looking forward to a soft schedule after this week\u2019s contest against the Bears. Hard to imagine the Jets in the playoffs with rookie head coach, Eric Mangini, after going 4-12 last season with Herm Edwards. Just shows how critical the quarterback position is to a club. This is the Bears second trip to Giant Stadium in as many weeks. The result will be the same.
\nPick \u2013 Bears <\/i><\/p>\n

Tennessee at Philadelphia<\/b>
\nThe Philthy offense should look really good versus one of, if not, the worst defense in the league. Sad to say, our offense, at home and healthy no less, got nothing accomplished against them.
\nPick \u2013 Eagles <\/i><\/p>\n

Washington at Tampa Bay<\/b>
\nInteresting similarities with these two teams that met in the NFC Wildcard game 10 months ago and have since mirrored one other in a season of mediocrity. The reign of Jason Campbell begins. Let\u2019s hope he\u2019s a mainstay at the position for many years to come.
\nPick \u2013 Redskins <\/i><\/p>\n

Detroit at Arizona<\/b>
\nThe \u2018toilet bowl\u2019 with perhaps the first pick in the \u201907 draft at stake. Thank goodness we didn\u2019t take Mike Williams in the draft two years back; as I thought we should have at the time. Carlos will hopefully progress, while Williams is reportedly contemplating retirement after the season. The Cards haven\u2019t won since opening day. Their losing streak continues this week. How does Denny Green, or Matt Millen for that matter, still have a job?
\nPick \u2013 Lions <\/i><\/p>\n

Seattle at San Francisco<\/b>
\nBoth teams are coming in with two straight wins, and although the Seahawks always struggle in San Francisco, look for Alexander to be back on the field, providing the necessary spark for the Hawks. Hasselbeck may also return.
\nPick \u2013 Seahawks <\/i><\/p>\n

Indianapolis at Dallas<\/b>
\nThis is one pick I would be pleased to get wrong. God forbid the Pukes pull this off, and we have to be subjected to the \u2018talking heads\u2019 recrowning of Parcels and Jones as geniuses for their acquisitions and promotion of Romo and the Pukes as legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
\nPick – Cowboys <\/i><\/p>\n

San Diego at Denver<\/b>
\nThe winner of this first match-up of the season for these divisional rivals will take sole possession of first place in the AFC West. The Broncos, with their supposed \u2018shut-down\u2019 corner, Champ, are ranked 27th in the league in passing yards allowed at 226.2\/game. Does that make sense? The Chargers are putting up the most points in the league at 33\/game, while the Broncos have struggled to put up points and amass passing yardage.
\nPick \u2013 Chargers <\/i><\/p>\n

New York Giants at Jacksonville<\/b>
\nThis is Coughlin\u2019s return to Jacksonville, where he took the Jaguars to two AFC title games in their first five seasons as an expansion team. He brings a banged-up Giant team, but who would pick the schizophrenic Jags who have been spanked by the Jets and Texans, yet beat the Eagles and Pukes. They\u2019ll finish 2-2 against the East.
\nPick – Giants <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Last Week\u2019s Results:<\/b> 7-9
\nSeason to Date:<\/b> 80-63<\/p>\n
