Week 6 Picks
Local Teams
Titans at Redskins
The Titans gave the Colts a scare, but they're still just as bad as anyone in the league.
Pick: Redskins
Panthers at Ravens
These are two heavyweights. The Panthers--with Steve Smith--can beat anyone.
Pick: Panthers
Lock of the Week
Raiders at Broncos (Sunday night)
The Raiders are going to beat someone this season. Maybe. But it won't be the Broncos in Denver.
Pick: Broncos
Upset of the Week
Giants at Falcons
The defense that showed up against the Redskins last weekend is the defense the Giants expected to have all season.
Pick: Giants
Games of the Week
Eagles at Saints
The Saints just might be for real. But so are the Eagles.
Pick: Eagles
Seahawks at Rams
The stakes are high. First place is on the line. The Rams are tough at home, and the Seahawks won't have Shaun Alexander. But it says here that Matt Hasselbeck rises to the occasion.
Pick: Seahawks
Chiefs at Steelers
The champs are done if they lose.
Pick: Steelers
Other Games
Bengals at Buccaneers
Bengals bounce back.
Pick: Bengals
Texans at Cowboys
The Cowboys are close to being very, very good.
Pick: Cowboys
Dolphins at Jets
Two pretenders, but never trust Joey Harrington.
Pick: Jets
Bills at Lions
The Lions are due to win one. But can you rely on that?
Pick: Bills
Chargers at 49ers
The Chargers are simply better, no matter where it's played.
Pick: Chargers
Bears at Cardinals (Monday night)
Pity the rookie quarterback who has to face this Chicago defense.
Pick: Bears
Record
Last Week: 9-5
Season: 48-26

You only went 9-5 last week? How could you have 5 wrong picks given last week's schedule? Wow, last week you actually picked the Raiders over the 49ers, the Cowboys over the Eagles, and said the Bears would have a letdown week against the Bills. Good job. I'm sure I'll take your Week 6 picks seriously.

Mark, are you teasing me with your Cowboys comment. While Mark Brunnell is the Jekeyll and Hyde player, the Cowboys are the Jekyl and Hide team, and not week to week quarter. At times they look, darn good, at times they look, darn bad. I want to believe you.

Mark...how can you pick the Redskins over the Titans?!
Brunell is Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde and I think we are due another week of Mr. Hyde.
