RotB Pick'em: Week 5 Results & Week 6 Picks

i’ll get above .500, and continue my way towards first :D

I better put my game face back on.

I’ll take it! :)

Okay, maybe some “cute” picks this week since I’ll miss most of Sunday’s game on stuck on an airplane. Picking a game wrong isn’t as torturous when you just see the final score; it’s worse when the score ticker across the bottom of the screen constantly reminding me for 5+ hours…

Atlanta (At home, Chicago will sober up quickly after that Detroit game last week)
Miami (I think this is the first time anyone has picked the Dolphins all year!)
Baltimore (Colts haven’t won at home yet…love that new warehouse they’re playing in!)
Minnesota (Lions…at least you have a nice stadium to look at)
Oakland (Okay, maybe a lot of “cute” picks this week…Al “the Lich” Davis will be justified for a week)
NYJets (Only because they’re home and coming off the BYE)
Carolina (Garcia again at QB? Hmmm, tough call, going with Delhomme on this one)
Washington (Former Sacramento Surge Defensive Coordinator Jim Haslett doesn’t have a hope in ‘ell)
Denver (Jags love to beat the Broncos in Denver but not with that O-line and WR corps)
Arizona (Gonna be a shoot-out, home field will actually exist for the Cards this year!)
Philadelphia (Eagles will be happy to play a non-NFC East opponent)
Green Bay (I think the ’Hawks’ spirit is on life support)
San Diego (NE could do it…Chargers ought to be pissed and playing their “hated” rivals)
NYGiants (Lately the browns coming out of my ass have been more entertaining than the Browns in Cleveland)

WAS – They is looking good

Chi- Atl looks good at home though.
Mia- Hou is starting to figure it out, just need to finish the game.

but it was worth it. the cards are definitely moving up in the nfc while distancing themselves from the the nfc weak, i mean west. i couldn’t be happier. plus there is still 10 weeks left. WHEN I WIN the prize can go to the second place winner. i will just be happy to have won. just a little cocky, right.
