Agree with you on all but J-E-T-S - Raiders. I just have a feeling that all the glowing press may have gone to New York's head, and Oakland LOVES to take apart perceived "golden boy" teams.
A bit ticked at the Sunday scheduling, tho. We've been enjoying the evening games out West ...
Good luck to you!
To: JennysCool
The prognosticator has Oakland defeating N.Y. 28-24

Actually, I was replying to doosee's picks ...
Gonna have the pics up and posting later?
To: JennysCool
I gotcha.......I didn't see that doosee has mistakenly picked the Jets to win.
If there's a thread, I'll be there!

Jets and Raiders should go down to the last possession of the game. I think McNair will get knocked out (an ironic twist to Maddox getting knocked out the last time they played) which leaves the Titans in a real bind. Steelers are also very revved up as the Titans asst. coach poured hot coffee on Joey Porter behind his back last game on the sidelines. ESPN has been showing the film of this weasel coach. Watch out for a Cowher team when he has them fired up.

Falcons
Jets
Bucs
Those are my picks, I'll be cheering most for the Buc's! I just hope the games are all close and interesting.
To: doosee
Yup. I think Cowher's got 'em goin' for real this time. Sheesh! How have I missed the replay of the "weasel" coach??? Too much work this week, too little Sportscenter!
To: hole_n_one
We'll look forward to it! And don't be shy about posting any "artist's conceptions" of the action!
To: sleeper-has-awakened
I just hope the games are all close and interesting. Oh, for a weekend of games like last Sunday's, as opposed to last Saturday's!
To: doosee
You'd better believe it, you're going to hear a lot of doosee tonight at the Vet, but it'll sound like D-U-U-U-U-C-E! Eagles 27, Falcons 10!

First, what I'm rooting for:
Titans over Steelers
Falcons over Eagles
Bucs over SF
Jets over Raiders
What I THINK will happen:
Titans over Steelers
Steelers are inconsistent. They can look great, or they can look awful. Titans are on a roll
Eagles over Falcons
Eagles are overall a better team, playing at home. Packers faded badly in last part of season, so Atlanta victory wasn't that big a surprise. Eagles are rested
SF over Bucs
Usual story on Bucs, until they win a big one, I won't pick them for a big one. Also, SF always seems to get the calls they need in tight games. Besides that, they're a pretty good team. Garcia is finally getting some credit as QB. I'll take Frisco in big games until the Bucs get past being chokers.
Raiders over Jets
Raiders at home. What's to say? However, Jets have been on fire lately, so I wouldn't bet much on this one.
As an aside, although I'm no Frisco fan, I found it weird that there was such a big deal about the "no call" on pass interference. There are a zillion plays where there are no calls on what could have been penalties. The Rice fumble against GB a couple of years ago was a far worse call, but you could challenge every game in the history of the league if you included non-calls. There was a clear clip on Franco Harris' immaculate reception, holding could be called on probably half of all pass plays. Oh, well, on to this week's controversy.

The refs arent hoping for games like Sundays. In fact, the NFL changed some procedures at game end so the AARP members with stripes on have to actually watch the plays.

If McNabb is rusty, which is very possible, that game could be much closer. The Titans dont have enough offense to get 28 points today. Much closer game with Steelers winning...

I'm rooting for the Steelers, but alas, I don't think they got it in them. Bettis has been shut down, Maddox (who has done a great job this year), takes way too many chances and is too stationary. Pittsburgh D is a little slow to pick up on the pass game against. I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see a "playoff" team when I watch them play. I see more of a scrambling to hold on/ playing catch up. It's killing 'em.
To: doosee
Titans 20-13. Eagles 35-20. Bucs 17-14. Jets 42-35.

With the Browns out of it, there's really no one left to pull for. I guess if push came to shove, I'd like to see a Stillers-Iggles all-Pennsylvania superbowl just to see to old NFL teams mix it up.

I think McNair will get knocked out (an ironic twist to Maddox getting knocked out the last time they played) which leaves the Titans in a real bind. LOL!!! When has McNair EVER been knocked out? That guy's the Terminator. You just can't stop him.
Titans over Steelers - 24 to 13.
