Holy-moley!!! It's the quarter mark of the regular season already! Where does the time go?

Our first game this week is the Niners at the Rams. Both teams are having issues right now, but I think the Niners are the more talented team right now. I'm giving them a slim edge.

Baltimore goes to Buffalo. I'll give this one to Baltimore. They aren't the Ravens of old, but I think they'll pull this one out.

Cincinnati goes to Cleveland. I'll give an edge to Cincinnati here. I'm not sure how Cleveland won last week, but I'm thinking they won't win this week.

Chicago goes to Detroit. I'm giving the edge to Detroit here. I think Reggie Bush will be back and make a big impact in this game. Playing in the dome favors Detroit.

Seattle goes to Houston. I'm not sure why, but I'm giving the edge to Houston in this one. Seattle on the road is beatable and I think the Texans will beat them.

Indy goes to Jacksonville. I've got to go with Indy.

The Giants go to Kansas City. Can you say 0-4? That's what the Giants will be after this game. Andy Reid knows the Giants and his Chiefs are playing good football while the Giants are bad in all three phases of the game.

Pittsburgh goes to London to play Minnesota. I'm not sure why, but I'm giving a slight edge to the Steelers here.

Arizona goes to Tampa Bay. Tampa goes with a new quarterback this week, but I think he'll make too many mistakes and Arizona will win.

The Jets fly down to Tennessee. I'll go with the Titans.

Philadelphia goes to Denver. One thing's for sure, there should be a lot of scoring. I'd love to know which Michael Vick will show up this week. The dynamic playmaker from week one is who we need to see and not the fumbling, interception throwing Vick we saw last week. I think Chip Kelly throttled back the Eagles after that first half in the Washington game and has kept them throttled back due to playing three games in eleven days. We haven't seen that pace, or the variety of formations and player groupings after that first half of the Redskin game. Now with ten days of rest and a more normal schedule the rest of the way, I'm thinking we'll see them throttle back up. I'm thinking Chip didn't really care if we beat San Diego or the Chiefs as neither are conference games and was just looking to survive that three games in eleven day stretch. With the Giants, Bucs, Cowboys, and Giants all coming up next, we're apt to see everything Chip's got over the next five weeks. For some insane reason I see the Eagles beating Denver in Denver. It's going to be a high scoring shootout and the last team with the ball will likely win, but I'm not so sure the Broncos are as good as we may think they are. I don't know why, but I've just got a feeling the Eagles will find a way to win this game. (Please let the good Michael Vick show up this week!)

Washington goes to Oakland. RGIII should be rounding into form about now and shaking off the rust, but the Raiders play pretty tough in Oakland. My gut says the Raiders win.

Dallas goes to San Diego. I love the way Dez Bryant is playing, but I'm giving the edge to the Chargers here.

New England goes to Atlanta. I'm picking Atlanta. I still like them for the super Bowl. They've got the talent and Tony Gonzalez should be playing himself into form by now, so I'm giving a teeny edge to the Falcons.

Miami goes to New Orleans. I'm going with the Saints here. I just think they're the better team.

What do you know? The byes have started! I counted up the games and only came up wit fifteen and was going nuts trying to figure out which one I missed only to finally figure out I didn't miss any, two teams are having a bye this week.
