Other Week 6 NFL Games

[Andy]

Carolina linebacker Dan Morgan will miss the rest of the season due to a concussion. Also, first round draft pick DeAngelo Williams will not play this week due to a sprained ankle suffered against Cleveland.

From the sounds of it Morgan's probably going to have to retire. He's suffered five concussions. It's a shame because he was among the best in the league when healthy.

 

The Panthers need to keep winning since the Saints and Falcons aren't coming back to the pack yet.

Point spreads anyone?

[Andy]

My picks:

 

TAMPA BAY (+5.5) over Cincinnati

ATLANTA (-3) over NY Giants

Tennessee (+10.5) over WASHINGTON

DALLAS (-13) over Houston

Carolina (+3) over BALTIMORE

DETROIT (+1) over Buffalo

ST. LOUIS (+3) over Seattle

Philadelphia (-3) over NEW ORLEANS

Miami (+2.5) over NY JETS

PITTSBURGH (-7) over Kansas City

San Diego (-10) over SAN FRANCISCO

DENVER (-15) over Oakland

Chicago (-10.5) over ARIZONA (largest road favorite I've ever seen)

Turning this into an even more AFC West based thread...

 

I, as a Chiefs fan, feel so dirty in rooting for the Raiders.

Chicago (-10.5) over ARIZONA (largest road favorite I've ever seen)

 

Before I get to my picks, allow me to direct your attention to the Colts ESPN.com page.

 

Indy was 17 point favorites at SF, 14 point favorites at Houston, and 16 point favorites at Jacksonville (absolutely insane spread considering the Jags were 12-4 last year) in 2005.

It may be Saturday before I get my pics in. I'm not ready to make them yet.

 

I'll get them done.

If the Colts hadn't played prevent in the last 5 minutes of the Jacksonville game, then they would have covered all 3 spreads too unbelivably. They were up 26-3 with 5 minutes left against Jax. That was one great run-the Bears run is reminding me of that.

How are you feeling about the game on Sunday. The Steelers have not given me a lot to cheer about.

[mhuber92211]

Big game for the Rams this week as they try to extend their division lead over Seattle before the bye week.

 

Ha, Ha. Their half game because of the bye week does NOT count as a lead!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Alright it's picking time. I won't list my record, because frankly it sucks at this point. Remember picks are for recreational purposes only, and lines are from sportsbook.com.

 

Seattle (-3) at St. Louis. I like the Seahawks. I don't think they will have a problem with the Rams, with or without Alexander. Give me Seahawks (-3)

 

Tennesee (+10.5) at Washington. Tennesee gave Indianapolis quite a scare last week. Could they do the same to the Redskins? Washington hasn't impressed me much this season despite being one of early picks to make the playoffs. I think Washington wins, but the Titans cover the spread. Titans (+10.5)

 

Buffalo (-1.5) at Detroit. Detroit seems to be falling apart. Roy Williams is AWOL. I think Buffalo is getting better each week. They should beat the Lions and cover the point and a half. Bills (-1.5)

 

Cincinnati (-5) at Tampa. The Buccaneers are bad. Really bad. They might win one day. Tomorrow won't be that day. Bengals (-5).

 

Carolina (+3) at Baltimore. The Raven defense is good. Carolina will struggle to move the ball. Delhomme will be in trouble all game. Baltimore is at home and that makes the difference for me. Ravens (-3)

 

Philadelphia (-3) at New Orleans. The Saints have surprised everyone this year, but they narrowly defeated a bad Tampa team last week. The Eagles are likely one of the top three teams in the NFL right now. It will be rocking in the Dome, but the Saints leave a loser. Eagles (-3)

 

Houston (+13) at Dallas. The Cowboys' defense has scored a TD in each of the last two games. Bledsoe looked bad against the Eagles, but the Texans are a far cry from the Eagles. Look for the Cowboys to win by three scores. Cowboys (-13)

 

NY Giants (+3) at Atlanta. This one will depend on which QB is better, Vick or Eli? Since I can't decide, I'll push in the direction of the home team. Falcons (-3)

 

Miami (+2) at NY Jets. I'm not sure the Dolphins would beat the Mets in a football game. They won't beat the Jets. Jets (-2).

 

San Diego (-9.5) at San Francisco. Chargers will win this one. Chargers (-9.5).

 

Kansas City (+6.5) at Pittsburgh. The Steelers are struggling, but the Chiefs are no great shakes either. I'll go with the points. Chiefs (+6.5)

 

Oakland (+14.5) at Denver. Denver will win the game. I have no doubt. The Raiders will cover the spread. Raiders (+14.5)

 

Chicago (-11) at Arizona. A rookie QB against the Bears' defense? Not a pretty picture. Bears (-11).

I'll post it. You're 37-33 on the year. :D

Jerry Porter was suspended by the Raiders for 4 games.

I GET TO SEE CAROLINA PLAY :D

[mhuber92211]

THis Sucks. Why is it I NEVER seem to get the Seahawks game? You would think that since the Rams played in LA before STL they would show the game!

Thanks, I completely forgot about that this week...was just going to post them

[UMFan83]

I really wanted that game too....for some reason, they refuse to show the Rams in the Chicago area.

Move a little south. Down here in the middle of the state we get a lot of Bears, Rams and Colts games.

[Flames24Rulz]

I have the Seahawks-Rams game :)

I try so hard to like you, but it's hard to let go of the fact you live in Wrigleyville and you are a Michigan fan... :wink:

Concerning Porter's suspension, this is pretty funny.

 

At one point, sources said, Porter -- who was running with the scout team defense -- asked somewhat loudly if the practice "was going to last three hours or what?"

 

Shell overheard the comment, sources said, and retaliated with the suspension, which would cost Porter $235,000 of his $1 million base salary -- if it were to stick.
