Clever sneaking that Bush bit in there... :-) > Detroit at Dallas - I have almost no idea.

My best explanation is that something really is wrong in Big D - > like no RB, no QB, and underperforming WR's. Pick: LIONS 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. > Indianapolis at Kansas City - Its scary to think that some team is going to > have to lose this game and find themselves really behind the 8-ball.

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. > Baltimore at Philadelphia - The Eagles won't give this game away like the > Bills did, and now the Ravens are missing their Top *3* offensive players > with Jonathan Ogden joining Jamal Lewis and Todd Heap on the sidelines. > Pick: EAGLES I like the Eagles, but I'm waiting for T.O. to implode. Not this week, though, I don't think. > New England at Pittsburgh - You just know that Ben Roethlisberger's five > pick game is coming.... Pick: PATRIOTS 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? > Miami at NY Jets - We knew the Fish would win one this year. Two may be > too much to hope for. Pick: JETS 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. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
