Week #6 NFL Predictions - Big Time Surprise Wins Coming This Weekend!

Week #6

New York Jets vs Buffalo Bills - Bills win by 7 points because of homefield advantage and new starting quarterback Kelly Holcomb. The Bills look like they have a real quarterback now and Holcomb has a calm prescence for in the pocket. This was definitely not the case with J.P. Losman! Now with Holcomb, the offense runs smoother and when it is time to check out of a play, Holcomb can do it! Oh yeah, the Jets now have Vinny Testeverde, who won last week also! Indeed the Jets are playing inspiring football, but now the Bills have the upperhand and the attitude to win this game.

Miami Dolphins vs Tampa Bay Bucs - Bucs win by 3 points because of the return of the Cadillac. The Bucs lost a crucial game last week and so did the Dolphins. Yet, Gruden will have the Bucs to get back to Bucs football. This means to pound the ball with effective running and controlled passing. With Cadillac back, the Bucs will be capable of doing this. Yet the Dolphins will also have in their backfield -- Ricky Williams! Ricky will be fresh after his 4 game suspension and that is a major advantage for them. By the way, Zach Thomas is playing some incredible linebacking this year. He is everywhere and back to the old Zach. So is Jason Taylor!! Yet in the end, I have to pick Chucky and his Bucs!!

New England Patriots vs Denver Broncos - Patriots win by 7 points because of Belichick's offense and defense schemes. Talk about a very interesting match up -- Belichick vs Shanahan -- two guru's of the game!! The Broncos are playing much better now and Jake Plummer is not making the mistakes of last year. They are moving the ball around and have a tandem of backs -- Anderson and Tatum -- to take care of the running. Even the Broncos defense has stepped up more and more each week. Yet it will be not enough against the Champions -- with Tom Brady!! Yes, the Patriots are still the Patriots and they just find a way to win by the end of the game. Yes, they are still getting the criticism from the national sports media (hint, hint -- ESPN) yet they know how to turn the criticism around to fuel their hunger to win another game -- one game at a time. That's what Brady, Dillon and Branch will do on offense and the defense with Chad Brown stepping up at linebacker. This will be a classic matchup throughout the game and I have to admit these are my two favorite teams in the league so it's really tough! Yet, the champs and the PATRIOTS will prevail -- even at Mile High!

Cleveland Browns vs Baltimore Ravens - Ravens win by 3 points becaue of the Art Modell aura!! Yes, these two teams are apart of the Art Modell ownership legacy and even though Brian Billick doesn't deserve it, the Ravens will win. Somehow, Anthony Wright will make enough plays to score the necessary touchdown in the crucial moments. Of course, the Ravens defense will keep the Browns scoring low. I have to admit even Ray Lewis looks disgusted at his team's performance at time and boy did they look bad against the Lions last week! The Ravens prevail against the resurging Browns.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Pittsburgh Steelers - Steelers win by 3 points because of homefield advantage and the effects of Hines field and STEEL TRADITION!! The major news in Pittsburgh is the injury to big Ben Roethlishberger!! Well, it looks like he will be out for this game and Charlie Batch will take his place!! Even though Charlie is a veteran with much mileage, he is quite capable to lead this Steeler team on a successful win against the Jaguars!! Yet believe me the Jaguars will be coming with alot of heat on Batch and even the Bus!! So this game will be a very hard fought game. Fortunately for the Steelers, Hines Ward and my boy Randle El will make the big plays in the end. Oh yeah, watch out for superstar and all-pro safety Troy Polamalu! He is the real deal!!

Houston Texans vs Seattle Seahawks - Seahawks win by 17 points because the Texans are a very confused and disorganized team!! Talk about a major disappointment, the Texans have hit rock bottom!! Headcoach Tom Campers doesn't have an ideal on how to get this team to stepup any more. Their offensive philosophy is horrible and the personnel is pathetic, particularly the offensive line. Even David Carr looks like he doesn't belong in the league anymore!! As for the Seahawks, they have made the turn upwards and Matt Hasselbeck is stepping up big time!! Headcoach Mike Holmgren got this team coming together at the right time and watch for this team to EXLODE AGAINST THE TEXANS!!

St. Louis Rams vs Indianapolis Colts - Colts win by 20 points because of Peyton, Peyton, and Peyton! Another team on the ropes is the St. Louis Rams. Now that Headcoach Mike Martz is hospitalized and out indefinitely, the Rams will not have a direction on offense and particularly defense. So Marc Bulger will get more rattled than ever before!! I feel sorry for my boy Marshall Faulk because he has to come in so many times to help the running attack when it supposed to be in the hands of Steven Jackson! In any case, Peyton will light up the secondary of the Rams and scorch them big time!! Marvin Harrison will get his fair share of TDs. This make get ugly by the end of the day!!

Cincinnati Bengals vs Tennessee Titans - Titans win by 3 points because of Steve McNair! Talk about a turnaround in a team, the Titans appear to be headed in the right direction. Last week, McNair and the Titans looked very good against the Texans and now here is their chance to make a statement game against the highly toughted Bengals!! Well, I think the Titans are ready! McNair has been lookin' exceptionally well and the Titans defense has truly stepped up with Keith Bulluck! As for Marvin Lewis Bengals, they have been reading too much of their press clippings about how good they are and now reality is starting to set in!! First and foremost, the Bengals need to execute and right now opponents are starting to put pressure on Carson Palmer and shutting down Rudi Johnson!! That means trouble for the Bengals. Watch for Jeff Fisher's team to go all out in this game and this will be a war!! Titans come out on top by the end!!

Washington Redskins vs Kansas City Chiefs - Chiefs win by 14 points because they are desperate for a win!! The Chiefs are still feeling bad against their demise against the Eagles a couple of weeks ago. Well, along come the Redskins at the right time. The Chiefs offense will get back in a groove and their defense will put alot of heat on Brunnell. The Redskins will not be able to move at all by the end!! So watch for Tony Gonzalez, Priest Holmes and the X factor to have a BIG DAY!!

San Diego Chargers vs Oakland Raiders - Raiders win by 7 points because the Raider tradition takes over!! Yes, even though the Raiders are not as talented as the Chargers, the Raiders have had 2 weeks to prepare for this game and they are more than ready!! This is THE BIGGEST GAME OF THE SEASON FOR THE RAIDERS AND THEY WILL TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF IT!! As for Marty Schoteinheimer, this will be the beginning of the end!! Just when Marty started to talk about how good his team is, that's when the team will self-destruct!! When they lost against the Steelers last week at home that was demoralizing for them. Somehow they lost their edge and I think that the Raiders willl take advantage of it.

New York Giants vs Dallas Cowboys - Cowboys win by 4 points because of the Drew Bledsoe effect!! Yes, I said the Cowboys because Headcoach Bill Parcells have got this team to work together in crucial situations despite the sideline arguments that Keyshawn wants to start with Bledsoe!! With Terry Glenn, KeyShawn Johnson and Patrick Clayton as wide receivers, Bledsoe has distributed the ball very well and they have made the crucial big plays. In this game, they will continue to do the same. As for the Eli Manning, he will get some additional heat in this game because Roy Williams will be coming with the delayed blitz again and again to test him. So Eli will have to check off several times in order to catch the Giants in the right matchups. On some plays, Plexico will take it to the house, but it will not be enough! This is a very tough game and even the Giants have the inside track, I have to go with the Cowboys due to the more experienced players!!

Minnesota Vikings vs Chicago Bears - Bears win by 14 points because of the total demise of the Vikings organization. Apparently, the Vikings players off-the-field antics is catching up with them particularly for cornerback Fred Smoot!! All the controversy this past week with the Vikings will cause them to completely lose focus and Kyle Orton and the Bears will take full advantage. Watch for Mushim Muhammed to have a big day!!

Carolina Panthers vs Detroit Lions - Lions win by 1 point because of their homefield advantage and their refusal to give in to mediocracy. The way the Lions played against the Ravens last week was very encouraging to Steve Mariucci so it looks like they are playing for pride now!! So now here comes their biggest challenge of the season -- the Carolina Panthers!! Believe it or not, the Lions could not have asked for a better opponent. The Panthers are not exactly playing their best ball so this game is ideal for the Lions to make a serious statement. Whether Joey Harrington plays well or not, the Lions defense will step up against the Jake Delhomme and make some big plays. In the end, the Lions will get a win -- the Roar is back in the Motor City!!

Atlanta Falcons vs New Orleans Saints - Falcons win by 17 points because Michael Vick is back and the Falcons are still mad from their lost to the Patriots. Yes, the Falcons are a big time team and they have to correct this team to win on the road and this is another ideal opponent for them. The Saints have just lost Duece McAlister for the rest of the season and they do not have an answer at all. Aaron Brooks has returned to his below average performance yet the Saints defense is playing better than average. In the end, the Falcons will not let this game get away -- they have too many weapons!!
