Well guys, I vote myself "****er" of the week after going 0-4 with my picks. Some very strange turn arounds, especially on defense. What really got me in the 3 TV games was that my bets KC, NO and NYG all looked like they showed up for a practice. The other sides were fired up and ready to play. In all 3 I was gone in the first 5 minutes. Very depressing weekend but as MAD has said, "bring on next week".

Quick notes - the Jets have lost their qb and Vinny is back. bye bye Jets. Fox TV games are a double header STL-NYG and Dallas-Oak. Home field advantage is sure looking big this year. The teams that outrushed the other won 11 of the 14 games. Pit-Ne were tied at 79 each. SF lost and Cinci won with the 5 interceptions.

Notes from games
Oak-phil - Oakland ran 22 times for +21 yards. Looks like its live or die with the pass for them. Phil won dispite losing two turnovers. Philly run defense looks good giving only 80 yds in last 2 games.

Tenn - Stl - even stats

Cinci - Chi - 5 interceptions for Cinci. Now have +14 t/o rate and 18 in 3 games. Can they win without that? Chicago defense still putting up a good performance.

NO-Min - 4 t/o against the Saints. Minnesota allowed 7 sacks . Hard to rate NO because of all the emotional stuff. The Vikings sure were fired up but still a mediocre lot.

Car-Mia - Carolina had a chance to tie it but got intercepted in the last minute. Carolina only had 61 yds rushing. Miami had +2 t/o. Miami now 43-8 at home in August/sept. Looks like their offensive strength is rushing and their overall strength is defense.

Jax-NYJ -Ny Jets lost their qb and only had 168 yds total offense. Jax and Cinci only teams at 3-0 on spread.

Cle- Indy - Indy defense won again and had 4 more sacks.Indy offense put up their best numbers of the year but against a very bad Clevland defense. Indy hasn't allowed a sack this year so it's a mystery to me why they can't score.

TB-GB Gb played better but gave TB 3 interceptions. Missed conversion was the difference. TB had 156 yds rushing. My figures have the Bucs as #1 defensive team

Sea-ARi. Arizona still can't convert their chances into TD's. 12 points all on field goals. Seattle put up big offensive numbers again. 163 yds rushing. 2 t/o also helped

NE-Pitt. The numbers seem to indicate that the Pat's outplayed Pitt by much more than the score 425 yds to 269 total offense. Pitt got 2 more t/o's and very strange for them to lose with a + t/o. NE had 346 yds passing but still not rushing real well.

Dall - SF The stats look as even as the scoreline

Atl-Buff Very strange game according to the stats. Must have been brutal in the trenches. ATlanta rushed for 236 and passed for 167 while the Bills rushed for 172 and wait for it - passed for 36. Atlanta also had 4 sacks. Not very often that you get rushing at twice the rate of passing. Wasn't snowing was it?

NYG - SD. I watched this game. Going into it the Giants had just about the best rush defense. The Chargers just charged right through them for 268 yards. Tomlinson was unstoppable. The Giants passe for 338 yds which made the stats look close butttt.

KC-Denv Same story here as the NYG-SD game. Denver just ran straight through the Chiefs line for 221 yds
