Completely Uninformed Peak at Week 6

Another week full of tough games. It seems likely that there will be a lot of upsets and a lot of teams with winning records losing this week. 

Chicago at Atlanta: I like Atlanta's run game here, especially on the turf. Kyle Orton might continue his run of good quarterbacking this week, but Atlanta will score too much, and win 30-20.

Baltimore at Indianapolis: Baltimore looks pretty good, and their defense is crazy good, but they are old. They can't finish games. Indianapolis 23-13.

Detroit at Minnesota: Detroit is due for "sneak-up-on-you" game, but Minnesota has some momentum and might actually be able to run past Detroit's version of eight men in the box. Vikings 27-13.

Oakland at New Orleans: The Saints need to bounce back from that Monday night heartbreaker, and even though the Raiders are talented and were playing well before Lane Kiffin was fired, New Orleans should be able to put a win together, 34-17.

Cincinnati at NY Jets: Another barnburner for the Jets, and although the Bengals have played tough, Favre still has some 4th quarter magic in him. Jets 41-35.

Carolina at Tampa Bay: Could be the best game of the week, especially for fans of defense. Carolina is getting a lot of props, but the Bucs seem like a nicely balanced team. Bucs 20-16.

St. Louis at Washington: Washington should be able to keep the intensity up at least this week against the awful Rams, 24-7.

Miami at Houston: The Texans are tough to gauge, as they have played hard in all four losses. Dolphins 24-10.

Jacksonville at Denver: Denver's offense could rip Jacksonville's secondary, but the Jaguars seem to have a knack for coming through in must-win situations (at least in the regular season). Jags 31-27.

Dallas at Arizona: Ignore all the crap about Dallas you heard this week. Kurt Warner will turn the ball over three times this week. Cowboys 31-17.

Philadelphia at San Francisco: I don't trust the 49ers, and I always like desperate teams. Eagles 35-10.

Green Bay at Seattle: Green Bay loses even when Rodgers has strong games. Seattle has injuries everywhere. Flip a coin: Seahawks 20-17.

New England at San Diego: I rarely pick against the Patriots, but San Diego has a quarterback. Chargers 24-21.

NY Giants at Cleveland: Giants stay undefeated, 31-24.
