Week Six Picks
My wife has abandoned me for a ministers' wives retreat, leaving me with our two preschoolers. Now that they're sleeping, I can get my important work done. Here are some observations on this week's picks:Unanimity
We are united on four games again this weeks. Our unanimous losers: The Titans, the 'Niners, the Raiders, and the Cardinals.
Solo Acts of Bravery
Dave Samples is alone in his belief that the Dolphins can beat the Jets in the Meadowlands. Tom Bryant thinks the Buccaneers can beat Cincinnati. Actually, I think he knows better, but can't bring himself to pick against Tampa Bay.
Upset Special Pick of the Week
I feel more confident about this one than about any of my previous (and disastrous) upset specials: The Texans will win on Sunday.
I think.
Well, a Texas team will win, witnessed by thousands of Texans, in Texas Stadium.
Many of the Cowboys are, in fact, Texans, in that they've moved their residence to Texas.
Either way, I'll be claiming victory here.
Good luck to everyone. Thanks for being a part of the contest.

You're right... but they are due. I also noticed that Boomer on ESPN picked them to win too.

Split on the Saints-Eagles. Man I figured I'd be the only guy calling this one. Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to pick against the Saints against Carolina? Hard. And I may never pick against the Broncos.

I told you the Bucs would win! Of course, the rest of my picks tanked. :(

Hey Wes, I think you put the box around the wrong team in the Atlanta - Giants game.

Joe,
You're right! Thanks for pointing that out.
All,
For future reference: If you see a mistake like the one Joe pointed out, or if I get your pick wrong, please email me. I don't have this blog emailing me when someone comments, so I may not know about it for a while if you just leave a comment here.
Kevin,
That thing about you being 10-2: Nevermind...

I almost picked the Titans, but then my brain vetoed the pick. I didn't think they could play two straight good games on the road. I still did pretty good (9-4).
