Last week didn't go very well for me. I finished 5-8 for a 76-55 overall record.
The Packers have lost in consecutive weeks to the Broncos and the Panthers...pretty good competition, consequently not a bad loss there. The Rams loss to the Vikings was disappointing as was the Saints OT loss.
The Falcons are lucky they are in the NFC South. They have looked very vulnerable after an impressive 5-0 start.
There isn't much you can say about the Chargers except that they are really, really bad.
I'll start over this week to get back on track.
Buffalo @ NY Jets (L)Jets 23-20 Ryan v Ryan and the Jets win
Detroit @ Green Bay (L)Packers 33-17 The Pack is back even if it is against the Lions
Carolina @ Tennessee (W)Panthers 27-13 Carolina will have to prove me wrong
Chicago @ St Louis (L)Rams 26-24 Up and down Rams up again this week
Miami @ Philadelphia (L)Eagles 24-23 Maybe Suh should apologize to the Dolphin fans
Cleveland @ Pittsburgh (W)Steelers 24-21 Luckily it's Cleveland this week Ben
Dallas @ Tampa Bay (L)Cowboys 26-22 The 'Boys have to win this week...right?
New Orleans @ Washington (W)Redskins 27-23 I know but the Saints can't close
Jacksonville @ Baltimore (L)Ravens 27-24 Okay Ravens, ONE MORE chance!
Minnesota @ Oakland (L)Raiders 24-21 Same goes for you Raiders!
Kansas City @ Denver (L)Broncos 24-20 World Series hangover still?
New England @ NY Giants (W)Patriots 31-17 Giants tough at home...nah
Arizona @ Seattle (L)Seahawks 27-23 'Hawks begin their march to the Super Bowl
Houston @ Cincinnati (L)Bengals 26-17 Another MNF fantastic matchup
So, the Bengals, Patriots and Panthers march on while everyone else cries "look at me" in hopes of attracting attention.
The Chargers, Colts, 49ers and Falcons have the week off...thank goodness.
Check back all day Sunday and late Friday night to see how I stack up against your horrible picks!

Browns Smother Bengals in 24-3 Win
The Cleveland Browns are tied for 1st in the AFC North with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both have a 6-3 record. Only the Arizona Cardinals (7-1) and the New England Patriots (7-2) have a better record than the Browns at this point in the season.
Last night in Cincinnati, the Browns used great defense and a good ground game to beat the Bengals 24-3.
The wind played havoc with both quarterbacks but Andy Dalton, when not under pressure, seemed unsure of his throws. Dalton completed just 10 of 33 pass attempts for 86 yards while throwing 3 INTs. His 33% completion rate was outdone only by his QBR of 2.0.
Brian Hoyer, facing the same gusty winds as Dalton, went 15 of 23 for 198 yards. Although he didn't have a touchdown pass, he didn't have an interception either. The Browns used the pass to set up their run game. Cleveland's three running backs ran for 169 yards and 3 touchdowns on the night. Ben Tate got the Browns on the board early in the 1st quarter with a 4 yard TD run after the Browns had intercepted Dalton and returned the ball to the Bengal's 18 yard line. Isiah Crowell scored on a 2 yard run on the Browns first possession of the 2nd half and Terrance West ran in from the one for the last touchdown with 4:46 left in the 4th quarter to seal the win for Cleveland.
The Bengals were held to 86 yards rushing on 27 carries by a defense that sacked Dalton twice and kept the Bengals off balance all night.
After rushing for 154 yards on 24 carries against the Jaguars last week, Jeremy Hill of the Bengals was held to just 55 yards on 12 carries last night.
Although his team had just been beaten 24-3 and manhandled by the Browns' defense, Hill had these comments about the Browns following the game. These quotes come courtesy of Coley Harvey at ESPN.com.
Asked whether the Browns were better than he previously thought, Hill said, "Oh no, not at all. They're probably worse than I thought, to be honest with you."
"They didn't do anything special to me," Hill continued. "I mean, respect to them, they won the game. But that's all I'll give them."
"Those guys, they're not that good," he said. "It was on us [Thursday]. We gave them the game, in my opinion. They didn't do anything special. We just gave them the game. They just sat back with coverage the whole day."
