But of course there are some picks that you have made which I disagree with BRO! For the most part I like your picks. But here are the ones you are just plain wrong on!!

Titans At Ravens – TITANS will OBLITERATE the Ravens. The Titans Defense is the best in the NFL this season in my opinion. Not only that, but they have a SERIOUS dual running threat with my pick for rookie of the year – Chris Johnson, and LenDale White. Couple that with a ROOKIE QB for the Ravens in Joe Flacco, and I see the Titans winning this one by a HUGE margin.

Chargers At Dolphins – Ok, so I absolutely LOVED the offensive scheme the Dolphins used the last time they played. They used direct snaps to Ronnie Brown, a RB, they used the Wingback formation, where you don’t know if they are snapping it to Brown OR Williams, they looked AWESOME. I love it when an NFL team uses a College football scheme and is successful. Speaking of which, I wish more NFL teams used the Option with more success. Anyway, while I admit I loved the Dolphins with their trickery and chicanery, I do believe that their success was attributed to a complete lack of preparation by the Defensive coaches. So, the Chargers defensive coordinators have had 2 weeks to study game film, and devise a plan of attack on a wingback formation. I think the Chargers will know how to defend all the funky patterns and LT will show why he is the number 1 overall pick in most Fantasy Football drafts. CHARGERS WIN BIG.

Redskins At Eagles – Skins looked awesome versus my Cowboys last week. Eagles lost versus the Bears last week. Eagles also did not have one of the best RB threats in the NFL- Mr. Brian Westbrook last week. HOWEVER, Mr. Westbrook is BACK, and he is playing this week. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the NFC BEAST this year. I wish all 4 teams could make it to the playoffs this year. I think the EAGLES will bounce back this week and beat the Skins in a very close one.

Patriots At 49ers – Game is in San Fran, so the Niners have the home team advantage. Frank Gore is having an excellent year, and JT O’Sullivan is showing he has what it takes to be a starting QB in the NFL. The Pats on the other hand, are starting a struggling backup QB, don’t have much of a running game, as Maroney hasn’t really panned out, and have two Pro Bowl WRs that haven’t really made much of an impact this year with Moss and Welker. I pick the NINERS to win this one.
