FAV / Underdog

BAL 7 Den
Baltimore 31 Denver 17
Orton kept up his Kurt Warner/Dan Marino yardage pace but it wasn't enough. Baltimore finally got its offense going without playing Cleveland and Ray Rice scored a couple TDs. At least Mike and I got 1 win this week. (BOTH)

BUF 1.5 Jax
Jacksonville 36 Buffalo 26
I really have no excuse for picking Buffalo to cover in this one. I blame seeing them score a TD before I sent my picks to Mike. See kids, cheating gets you nowhere. (MM)

IND 7 KanCity
Indianapolis 19 Kansas City 9
Nice late TD gets the spread covered in this one. Of course it wasn't my fantasy guy Addai, it was Mike Hart, which cost me a win vs Mike. Damn you Colts! (Both)

DET 3 StL
Detroit 44 St Louis 6
We both bought into the Rams being better than they are and the Lions being worse. See what happens when we think. Just flip a coin and pick. Doesn't help when your #1 WR busts up his knee early in the 1st, but still....yes, he was on my fantasy team too. (XX)

Atl 3 CLE
Atlanta 20 Cleveland 10
I was really feeling this one until Jake entered the game. If only Cleveland had a LT who could block. Maybe someday. I think I am still 5/5 in picking the Browns. This one hurt. (MM)

CIN 6.5 TB
Tampa Bay 24 Cincinnati 21
Wow, what happened to Carson Palmer?? Its almost like he could play for the Browns in a couple years. TB receives another gift win. I hate them now. (MM)

CAR 3 Chi
Chicago 23 Carolina 6
Todd Collins gets the W with a 6.2 rating and 4 INTs. Thank God he was playing Clausen (29.7 rtng, 1 INT) and Moore (18.8 rtng, 2 INTs). Finally a duo worse than Brady Quinn and DA. Oh, and how was Carolina favored??? (Both)

GB 2.5 WASH
Washington 16 Green Bay 13
Injuries, injuries, injuries, GB is in trouble. Somehow the Redskins are winning games, haven't quite figured it out yet. (XX)

HOU 3 NYG
New York 34 Houston 10
Apparently this is the point where we should stop picking games. It gets real ugly from here on out. Did not see this one coming. (XX)

NO 6.5 AZ
Arizona 30 New Orleans 20
Ok, this is the one I didn't see coming. Non-drafted free agent rookie 25 yr old from BYU Max Hall beats the defending Super Bowl champions after throwing an INT on his first pass attempt. Doesn't hurt when your D scores 3 TDs for you. (XX)

SD 6.5 OAK
Oakland 35 San Diego 27
OK, ok this is the one I didn't see coming, seriously. San Diego hadn't lost to the Raiders since 1975. Or since 2003 spanning 13 games. But this proves again this is the NFL where anyone can beat anyone on any given Sunday, except for the Browns. (XX)

DAL 7 Ten
Tennessee 34 Dallas 27
Sets up a great 1-3 match up this coming week between Dallas and Minnesota. Dallas is really letting everyone down, although I'm happy Miles Austin had a sweet game. (XX)

SAN FRAN 3 Philly
Philadelphia 27 San Francisco 24
I'm getting depressed. This is another L for Joe. Next week might be a 'flip a coin' week for me just so I have an excuse for being so bad. (MM)

NY JETS 4 Minny
New York 29 Minnesota 20
I quit. Words Favre should have learned a long time ago. No Dick Jokes Please... (XX)

Week 5
Joe 3-11
