BROOKLYNWORM’S NFL PICKS AND PREDICTIONS FOR WEEK #6<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

<o></o>
OAKLAND AT NEW ORLEANS
<o></o>
THE SAINTS ARE OBVIOUSLY A BETTER TEAM THEN THEIR RECORD REFLECTS AT 2-3. THE SAINTS OUT PLAYED MINNESOTA LAST MONDAY NIGHT AT HOME , AND FOUND MANY WAYS TO GIVE THE GAME AWAY. NEW ORLEAN SAINT PLAYERS AND COACHES ARE NOW AN ANGRY BUNCH AND SEEK REVENGE IN THIS MUST WIN SITUATION. BY COMPARISON, THE TWO BEST OFFENSES THE OAKLAND RAIDERS FACED THIS SEASON WAS DENVER, AND SAN DIEGO. THEY LOST TO SAN DIEGO 14-41, AND LOST TO SAN DIEGO 18-28. THESE EXPLOSIVE OFFENSES RANKED #2, AND #7 RESPECTIVELY PRODUCED AN AVERAGE SCORE OF 35 POINTS VS THE RAIDERS. DEFENSIVELY THEY ALLOWED ONLY AN AVERAGE 16 POINTS TO BE SCORED UPON THEM. NOW TAKE NEW ORLEANS, MY OFFENSIVE RANKINGS OF THE SAINTS PLACES THEM 6<SUP>TH</SUP> OVERALL. THEY ARE A TEAM THAT HAS ABOUT THE SAME DEPTH AND FIREPOWER AS DENVER AND SD. THE SAINTS ON OFFENSE LAST WEEK DID MATRICULATE THE FOOTBALL DOWN THE FIELD VS A STOUT MINNESOTA VIKINGS DEFENSE. THE SAINTS FRONT 7 ON DEFENSE SUPRISINGLY STOPPED ONE OF THE BEST RUNNING BACKS IN THE NFL. THE RAIDERS BREAD AND BUTTER IS TO RUN THE BALL. IF THE SAINTS DEFENSE CAN ONCE AGAIN ARISE TO THE OCCASION, OAKLAND’S PASSING GAME ISN’T TALENTED ENOUGH TO EXPLOIT THE SAINTS WEAK SECONDARY.<o></o>

ATS WINNER: NEW ORLEANS –7.0<o></o>
OVER/UNDER: OVER 47.0<o></o>

BALTIMORE AT INDIANAPOLIS
<o></o>
THE COLTS ARE OVERRATED, AND NOT THE SAME PEYTON MANNING TEAM FROM PAST SEASONS. THE COLTS OFFENSE, AND DEFENSE ARE BOTH STRUGGLING. MY POWER RANKING REVEALED THAT AS OF WEEK #5, THEIR OVERALL OFFENSIVE INPUT PLACES THEM 20<SUP>TH</SUP> OUT OF 32 TEAMS. THEIR DEFENSE RANKS THEM 25<SUP>TH</SUP> OVERALL. THEIR WINNING RECORD DOESN’T TELL THE TRUE STORY OF THIS TEAM. THEY LUCKED OUT IN MINNESOTA, AND HOUSTON, TWO GAMES THEY SHOULD HAVE LOST BUT WON. THE RAVENS ON THE OTHER HAND PLAYED TWO CONSECUTIVE GAMES AGAINST TWO MIGHTY DEFENSES, THE STEELERS RANKED #2 OVERALL, AND THE TITANS RANKED #3. ANY TEAM WOULD HAVE TROUBLE OFFENSIVELY PUTTING UP POINTS ON THE SCOREBOARD VS THIS BUNCH. NOW THAT THEY FACE THE COLTS, THEIR OFFENSE WILL FINALLY HAVE THE BENEFIT TO SCORE POINTS TO SUPPORT THEIR #1 RANKED NFL DEFENSE. BEING A 4 POINT UNDERDOG, THE RAVENS WILL SEEK REVENGE FROM THEIR LOSS IN LAST SEASONS GAME 44-20. THE ONLY QUESTION IS WILL ROOKIE QB FLACCO BE ABLE TO PLAY MISTAKE FREE , AND LEAD HIS TEAM ON THE ROAD. BALTIMORE TO WIN THIS GAME OUTRIGHT.<o></o>

ATS WINNER: BALTIMORE +4.0<o></o>
OVER/UNDER: OVER 39.0

<o></o>
DALLAS AT ARIZONA
<o></o>
I LOVE THE CARDINALS IN THIS SPOT VS THE COWBOYS. THE DALLAS COWBOYS LOST THEIR PASS RUSH, DUE TO THE INJURY TO TERENCE NEWMAN. WITHOUT NEWMAN THIS DEFENSIVE LINE IS HAVING DIFFICULTY PRESSURING OR SACKING THE OPPOSSING QB. JUST LOOK WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK IN A CLOSE CONTEST VS THE HAPLESS BENGALS. ALTHOUGH ARIZONA’S OFFENSIVE LINE ISN’T THE GREATEST, I THINK THAT QB KURT WARNER WILL BE ABLE TO BUY SOME TIME IN THE POCKET TO CONNECT WITH HIS RECEIVERS. IN ADDITION, THE CARDINAL PLAYERS, AND FANS HATE THE COWBOYS AND THIS HAS BEEN A HEATED RIVALRY GAME FOR YEARS. THE FACT IS THAT THE CARDINALS AT HOME ARE 5-0 STRAIGHT UP/ AND AGAINST THE SPREAD AS DOGS OR FAVS. THE CARDS ARE 5-2 AGAINST DALLAS SINCE 1997. 67% OF THE PUBLIC’S MONEY IS SIDING WITH DALLAS. THE CARDS SECONDARY SHOULD BE AT FULL STRENGTH, UNLIKE IT WAS WHEN THEY WERE BLOWN OUT BY THE JETS A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND LAST WEEK’S BLOW OUT VICTORY OVER THE BILLS HAS THEM BRIMMING WITH CONFIDENCE TO TAKE UP THIS CHALLENGE.

NEW ENGLAND AT SAN DIEGO
<o></o>
RECALL, SAN DIEGO STRUGGLED THEIR FIRST TWO GAMES OF THE SEASON AND WERE 0-2. THEN THEY CAME HOME ON A MONDAY NIGHT AND PLAYED THE NY JETS. THE PLAYERS, COACHES, AND THEIR HOME TOWN FANS REALIZED THE SENSE OF URGENCY TO WIN, AND NOT FALL TO 0-3. PRESENTLY, THE CHARGERS DROPPED THE BALL LAST WEEK IN MIAMI AND LOST TO A TEAM THEY SHOULD HAVE BEATEN. NOW, THAT SENSE OF URGENCY WILL REAPPEAR ON SUNDAY NIGHT KNOWING THAT A LOSS TO NEW ENGLAND COULD DROP THEM 3 GAMES BEHIND DENVER IN THEIR DIVISION. THEY BEAT THE JETS 48-29, AND THEY CAN ROLL UP THE SCORE ON THE PATRIOTS FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS. #1. NEW ENGLAND AFTER LAST WEEK’S GAME NEVER RETURNED BACK TO NEW ENGLAND, AND REMAINED ON THE WEST COAST TO PREPARE FOR THIS GAME (11 DAYS AWAY FROM HOME). DIDN’T ARIZONA DO THE SAME ON THE EAST COAST THIS SEASON, AND LOST TO THE JETS 56-35. #2 SAN DIEGO IS ALSO SEEKING REVENGE FROM THAT 2007 PLAYOFF CHAMPIONSHIP GAME LOSS TO THE PATS. #3 THE PUBLIC HAS 56% OF THEIR MONEY ON THE PATS. #4 FOR WEEKS I HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU THAT THIS ISN’T THE SAME PATRIOT TEAM OFFENSIVELY, AND DEFENSIVELY. WITH BRADY OUT AT QB, CASSEL CANNOT CARRY THIS TEAM ON HIS SHOULDERS. THEIR RUNNING BACKS ARE MEDIOCRE, AND LACK DEPTH AT WIDE RECEIVER AFTER YOU COUNT MOSS AND WELKER. ON DEFENSE, THE LINEBACKERS ARE SLOW AND OLD AT THEIR POSITION, AND THEIR SECONDARY IS HORRIBLE. HERE IS HOW I RANKED NEW ENGLAND THRU WEEK #5. OFFENSE RANKED 22 OVERALL, AND DEFENSE RANKED 21 ST OVERALL.
