Week 4 NFL Picks

September 28th, 2005 by Rhoy Pamparo

What a week it has been! I finally broke the double-digit mark of 10 wins!

Can you believe these Patriots! What a way to shut the Steelers down. Oh man, that will sure put a doubt on those Steelers fans of their chance to play in the Superbowl this year. By the way, who’s Willie Parker? Where was he? After the Pats lost Harrison, he should have carried the ball more. I wonder why he didn’t.

Congrats to my Eagles team. Akers you are the best! I told you Moss would not be a factor. But my guy Westbrook was!

What scares me is the Colts defense! Not because they have a very good chance to go all the way. But they may not be for real! Peyton is not getting his touchdown passes yet. Not because he does not want to. But I think teams are more prepared for their offense now than last year. If they continue their stellar defensive efforts, they may be the next champs. Although I very much doubt it. Eagles will fly over them & rip them out to oblivion! Can you tell who I’m rooting for this year ;-)

Anyhow, here are my picks for this week.

  • Buffalo at New Orleans
  • It’s the Saints first official “Home Game” this Sunday. I’m sure their emotions will carry them in this game. Well, they are a pretty good team if you think about it. The Bills lost Takeo Spikes last Sunday. That is a big blow to their defense, which in my opinion, the only thing that is carrying this team. Willis McGahee, had a good game last week. But that’s about it. Losman didn’t even had time to scan the field before he gets hurried by the defense. Saints will win this one.

  • Denver at Jacksonville
  • The Jags are continually making it hard for me to pick against them! They beat the Jets last week & had a very close game the week before against the Colts. Although Denver had a good game, Monday, I don’t think they are up to the challenge against the Jags. Jacksonville on this one.

  • Detroit at Tampa Bay
  • Is Carnel Williams going to run over 100 yards again in this game? I think he can. If he does, then I’m with the Bucs. However, Harrington should have a good game after a week off. Is it enough to get them past this game. I doubt. TB Bucs.

  • Houston at Cincinnati
  • Hmm, I wonder what new dance Chad Johnson will do this Sunday. How about some lambada! Bengals! Wow, 4-0!

  • Indianapolis at Tennessee
  • C’mon Peyton, throw us some TDs. Titans might spoil this party for Manning though. If not for the interception — returned for a TD, thrown by McNair last Sunday, they could have won the game. I’ll go with them on this game. Titans will hand Peyton & the Colts their first lost this season!

  • San Diego at New England
  • Pats did a very good job last Sunday against the Steelers. Same goes with the Chargers against the Giants. This is a tough game to call. I am tempted to go with the Pats, though they are missing a lot of starters, they are still a very good team mainly because of their coaching staff & Mr. Brady’s demeanor. But, Tomlinson broke out last Sunday & that is freeing up space for Gates & the other receivers. It also enables the Chargers to run play-action-pass & set up screen passes. Though it’s tough, I will go with the Chargers on this one. This will be a close game & I, for sure, will closely watch it. That’s if it is being televised here in Canada! Argh!

  • Seattle at Washington
  • Kudos to Shaun Alexander for his 4TD performance last Sunday! Whatever happen to Clinton Portis? He should have never left Denver. Well, that’s the past. We have to face this Sunday’s game which features 2 of the 5 best backs in the league right now. Whoever runs more than a 100 yards will win. If both do, I’ll be surprise. The Redskins might win this one only because the Seahawks are inconsistent especially coming off a good performance a week before. Redskins by a bunch.

  • St. Louis at N.Y. Giants
  • This will be a very entertaining game, in a good way, though. It will be a high-scoring affair & whoever scores the most TD will win! Doh! Of course! Kidding aside, Marc Bulger played with confidence last week. Coming back after turnovers (fumble & INT) to win the game. Eli Manning didn’t do that. He looked like a kid who didn’t get his wish last Sunday against the Chargers. And he will continue to be like that. Although he’s getting good protection in the pocket, soon enough, teams will find away to put him in the highlights of “Jacked Up” this Monday pre-game show! Rams.

  • N.Y. Jets at Baltimore
  • Jets are facing a dilemma: No Martin + No Pennington = No Wins. On the other hand, Ravens are also facing a dilemma: 0-2. The best defense on paper is not getting it done. It’s not entirely their fault, though. The Ravens offense has to put some scores on the board & take control of the game by power running of Jamal Lewis. He has been quite — that’s because he can’t even get out of the backfield! What a waste! The offensive line must do a good job stopping people from just storming behind the line of scrimmage. This was the reason their QB is sitting on the sideline right now. Anyhow, the Ravens should get their first win this season. Ravens.

  • Dallas at Oakland
  • Randy Moss is growing moss waiting for the ball to come his way! Give him a chance to be in the highlight reel just like the old times with the Vikes. I’m sure he will do good. Although it will be hard the way the Cowboys are playing. I like their defense especially that guy DeMarcus Ware. He’s good, but he still has to learn a lot. Anyhow, I think the Raiders will finally get their first win this Sunday as well.

  • Minnesota at Atlanta
  • The Vikes finally won a game. What a way to do it. Kudos to Culpepper & to those who have him in their fantasy lineup! Ok, like I said last week, I have to go against the Vikes until they win one. I’m standing by my word: Vikes (pls don’t disappoint me)!

  • Philadelphia at Kansas City
  • Kansas City is looking to bounce back after a terrible loss inthe hands of the Broncos. Bounce, they will, on the turf that is! Eagles will just kill these guys again! Eagles all the way!!!

  • San Francisco at Arizona
  • As much as I hate to do this, I would have to pick the Niners. They have been playing solid football of late, except their loss to my Eagles team.

  • Green Bay at Carolina
  • Again, I just hope the Favre won’t get hurt in this game. And whatever happen to Carolina? I’m starting to think that Miami is a good team. Or how about Carolina is inconsistent! After you beat the champs, you loose the game to a non-playoff team! Oh man, it was a fluke, me thinks! Good thing they have Favre & the Packers on Monday. They may be able to get my respect back. Where in the world is Ahman Green? Who knows, until he shows up for work, they will not win any games. Carolina.
