2007 NFL Week 5
Sunday October 7, 2007
Jacksonville Jaguars at Kansas City Chiefs
Eddie – JAGUARS
Even with the last two victories for the Chiefs I’m still not convinced they have turned things around. The Jags can come in take control of the game like they did against Denver. Chiefs won the last matchup between the two so it’s time for some payback.
Fred – JAGUARS
Jags had a bye last week so their fresh. They also beat the Broncos in Denver in Week 3. After the game this Sunday, they will begin being talked about as another one of the great AFC teams.
Detroit Lions at Washington Redskins
Eddie – LIONS
I’ll keep saying this week in and week out – the Lions’ offense is a machine and the Redskins just can’t match up. The only thing going for the Skins is that this is in DC.
Fred – LIONS
Upset Pick #1…and it’s the only one this week! As of the time of this writing, Santana Moss is highly unlikely to play. With Kevin Jones back, Detroit’s offense is even more potent. They get it done in Washington.
Cleveland Browns at New England Patriots
Eddie – PATRIOTS
Notice to the Browns: The Patriots are not the Bengals or the Ravens.
Fred – PATRIOTS
When the Patriots lose one-to-two games this year, it won’t be at home, and will definitely not be against the Browns.
Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints
Eddie – SAINTS
The Saints take advantage of a broken down Carr and ride the bus to a victory.
Fred – SAINTS
After a bye week, can a 2006 “Coach of the Year” figure out how to beat a 2-2 Panthers team with Carr at QB? I would hope so.
New York Jets at New York Giants
Eddie – GIANTS
I thought the loss of Tiki Barber would destroy the Giants. Then when Jacobs went down I figured they were a lock for the number one draft pick next year but the Giants just won’t give up. I’m actually impressed.
Fred – GIANTS
The on-fire Giants team against an offense that couldn’t even rack up the points on the worst defense in the NFL…the Giants should win the “Battle of NY”.
Arizona Cardinals at St. Louis Rams
Eddie – CARDINALS
What a difference a different a head coach can make. Example: San Diego Chargers. Proof – this game’s winner – Cardinals.
Fred – CARDINALS
No S-Jax, a Benched Bulge, and a demoted offensive coordinator…things just don’t look very good in St. Louis. With Gus at QB and someone different calling the plays, they will make it a close game. But, with Warner coming off the bench and Arizona’s pass offense is on the attack, they’ll undoubtedly get more points than the Rams.
Seattle Seahawks at Pittsburgh Steelers
Eddie – STEELERS
This should be a good game but I feel the Steelers will bounce back from a loss to the Cardinals.
Fred – STEELERS
The Seahawks dominated the game last week against the Niners. This week, they travel to Pittsburgh to play an angry Steelers defense. Pittsburgh scores a lot early, holds onto the lead, and gets the “W”.
Atlanta Falcons at Tennessee Titans
Eddie – TITANS
Harrington is starting to show signs of life in an offensive system he thrives in but I think Young and company is too much for the Falcons defense to handle.
Fred – TITANS
In Week 3, the Titans put the smack down on the Saints. Last week, they had a bye. This week, they’re at home against the 1-3 Falcons. The Titans will win in a close one.
Miami Dolphins at Houston Texans
Eddie – TEXANS
This game is for the Texans to show the world they are for real. I like the Texans but in a close win.
Fred – TEXANS
Even without their #1 RB and WR last week, Schaub still had over 300 yards passing. This week he’s going against a defense that let Culpepper score 5 TDs against them last week, and the Jets score 31 points the previous week. Schaub has a huge day and Houston wins in a high-scoring affair.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Indianapolis Colts
Eddie – COLTS
Who can stop the Colts? Well for certain it won’t be Tampa Bay.
Fred – COLTS
The Bucs defense has stepped up. But, even if they have to go without Addai, the Colts pass offense will not be stopped at home.
Baltimore Ravens at San Francisco 49ers
Eddie – RAVENS
The 49ers offense is lost and they won’t find it against a Ravens defense that has something prove.
Fred – RAVENS
Dilfer is the worst starting QB in the league! Even though the Ravens defense has been getting burned in the air, they turn it around this week and get at least 3 interceptions/fumbles and win the game.
San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos
Eddie – BRONCOS
Huge implications from the results of this game and it won’t be pretty for the losing team.
Fred – BRONCOS
What a disaster in San Diego! How can Norv and the other coaches destroy a 2006 14-2 team? LT has his way with the Denver defense, but it’s not enough to get the victory.
Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers
Eddie – BEARS
The Packers have been riding on an emotional high for the last few weeks and it will be hard to maintain the intensity.
Fred – PACKERS
The Packers look so good right now, and they are having a great time out there. At Lambeau, the streak should continue against a Bears team which is still nicked up on defense.
Monday October 8, 2007
Dallas Cowboys at Buffalo Bills
Eddie – COWBOYS
Dallas meet 5-0. 5-0 meet Dallas.
Fred – COWBOYS
Even though they’re away (and up in Buffalo), the Cowboys have yet another easy win Monday night.

2007 NFL Week 4
First thing - My apologies for us being late. We ran into some network problems at work last night which kept us there for the majority of the evening. With that said - onward to the picks.
2007 NFL Week 4
Sunday September 30, 2007
Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings
Eddie – PACKERS
What can I say? The Packs are 3-0. History will be made during this game so the real question is can Favre withstand the pressure to lead his team to 4-0? I think so.
Fred – PACKERS
Packers are undefeated and had some close, and big, wins. The Vikings are 1-2 and their starting QB is out with injury again. Packers continue rolling and go 4-0.
New York Jets at Buffalo Bills
Eddie – JETS
Divisional rival with both teams playing “Where’s Waldo”. The Jets may have found a niche and the Bills just keep taking hit after hit. Something tells me to go with the home team but I still like Pennington and the Jets.
Fred – JETS
The Bills have a rookie QB, a stud WR will less than 80 receiving for the year. What the heck’s going on in Buffalo? The Jets racked up some huge points against Miami last week, and should do the same this week. The Jets take advantage of the situation and get the victory.
Oakland Raiders at Miami Dolphins
Eddie – DOLPHINS
The Raiders broke their losing streak last week just in time to start another one. Hey Miami – see what happens when you give the rock to Ronnie Brown? He scores.
Fred – DOLPHINS
Culpepper as the starting QB for the Raiders for the 1st time = Raiders lose. If he even becomes a good QB again, it’s going to take him time to do so. Cameron finally let Ronnie Brown be the main focal point on the offense last week and they almost won. He should continue to do so.
Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions
Eddie – LIONS
I can’t believe I paused for a couple of minutes to actually consider taking the Lions. In fact I am going to take them. The Bears defense is good but the Lions have too many weapons not to mention Griese hasn’t started a game in two years.
Fred – LIONS
The Bears will be missing both of their starting CBs against the Lions ridiculous pass offense. Upset pick #1
Houston Texans at Atlanta Falcons
Eddie – TEXANS
Houston comes to Atlanta and Schaub rubs it into the face of the Falcons that they should have kept him.
Fred – FALCONS
Atlanta has to win a game this year and now’s a good opportunity, at home, against a team missing their #1 RB and WR. Upset pick #2
St. Louis Rams at Dallas Cowboys
Eddie – COWBOYS
The offense of the Rams has been injured on the battle field. Their season is over and the woes continue in Dallas.
Fred – COWBOYS
No Stephen Jackson, an ailing Bulger and offensive line…the Rams are banged up. The Cowboys, on the other hand, are playing like the best team in the NFC. The Cowboys collect another “W”.
Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns
Eddie – RAVENS
Be careful Baltimore. Look what they did to the Bengals.
Fred – RAVENS
Jamal Lewis is going to want to rack up some yardage against his former team. But, there’s a problem. That defense is still really friggin’ good, while he is not. The Ravens win, but in a close one.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Arizona Cardinals
Eddie – STEELERS
No doubt the Arizona staff has improved the Cardinals team but they aren’t that good especially when they have to bring Warner in to jumpstart the offense.
Fred – STEELERS
Since Hines Ward is probably out, if Kurt Warner was the starting QB, I’d pick the Cardinals to get the upset. But that isn’t the case, so the Steelers defense has its way with Arizona and wins the game.
Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers
Eddie – SEAHAWKS
And I had so much hope for the 49ers this year. Norv Turner has managed to screw up two teams in one year.
Fred – 49ers
Niners offense looks putrid and the Seahawks offense looks great. Seattle wins? Nope. Alex Smith knows that the weight is on his shoulders, so he finally steps up and has a good game. Niners win…upset pick #3.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers
Eddie – PANTHERS
Here are two teams that have caught me by surprise. I like the Panthers at home as Foster runs over the Bucs in a close game.
Fred – PANTHERS
Carolina is turning out to be a good all around team. Tampa Bay has been one of the surprises thus far.
Kansas City Chiefs at San Diego Chargers
Eddie – CHARGERS
Surely San Diego you can beat the Chiefs in your own backyard. This is your time to shine.
Fred – CHARGERS
Just like the Eagles did last week, the Chargers offense wakes up and lights up the boards. They win in a landslide.
Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts
Eddie – COLTS
Champ Bailey and Dre Bly may I introduce you to Manning, Harrison, Wayne and Addia.
Fred – COLTS
There’s no reason to pick against the Colts. They have no critical injuries. Both the offense and defense look great. And they’re at home this week.
Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants
Eddie – EAGLES
Word on the street is – McNabb can still throw the ball. I think last weeks win for the Giants was a product of the Skins beating themselves.
Fred – EAGLES
The Eagles finally “got off the snide” and racked up the points last week. The Giants barely came back and beat the Skins last week. Giants will not be playoff bound while the Eagles should be, so Eagles get this win to go 2-2.
Monday October 1, 2007
New England Patriots at Cincinnati Bengals
Eddie – PATRIOTS
Enough said.
Fred – PATRIOTS
Patriots have done nothing but dominate thus far. On Monday night, Cincy should give them their first challenge, but it won’t be enough to get the victory.
