Clever sneaking that Bush bit in there... :-)

Tough call.  The Lions have a surprisingly good record, but I'm still
not sure if they're for real.  I still have some faith in Parcells
whipping his team into shape, so I'd pick Dallas.

Hmm.  Two high power offenses vs two somewhat suspect defenses - I'd
put the over-under for total points scored at maybe 65.  More
seriously, I think the Colts will be prepared for the running attack
and rebound from last week.

I like the Eagles, but I'm waiting for T.O. to implode.  Not this
week, though, I don't think.

If anyone can figure out how to expose the flaws of a rookie superstar
QB, it's Belichik.  But at the same time I'm thinking the Pat's
injured offense is semi-weak, and the Red Sox World Series title might
have used up all the remaining mojo from the surrounding Boston area. 
Or maybe not...

One thought: rather then the Redskins election indictator, how a about
a Patriots indicator:

If the Pats win Sunday, the Boston mojo lives on and Kerry uses it to
carry the election.  If the Pats lose, the mojo has run empty, and
Kerry, left mojo-less, loses.  What do you think?

I'd bet that Miami gets at least 1-2 more wins this season.  But not
against the Jets who need to rebound after last week.
