Win Some, You Lose Some

Alright so I was 2-2 last weekend. Not as great as i thought i would do but alas there is another weekend! Things we learned from last weekend: Kurt Warner is a hall of famer, Eagles are a disappointment, the Patriots dynasty may not be TOTALLY over, but it's not lookin good, and the Bengals look like the bungals from last year.

Here are my picks for this weekend:

Cardinals vs. Saints (Saturday @ 4:30)
Prediction: 34-30 Cardinals

Kurt Warner is a hall of famer if you ask me and he is going to prove it in this game. The crowd in the dome will not intimidate Warner at all. Small stat from last week: Warner had more touchdowns than incompletions. Heard that on the radio.....RIDICULOUS!! The Saints defense is slightly better than the packers but not by enough to have a different outcome against the high powered Cardinals offense. The Saints have sort of teetered off towards the end of the season and I don't think they will get it done. They lost to the Bucs and had help from Shaun Suisham to beat the Redskins. And if i remember correctly they struggled against the Rams. 3 of the top 4 picks in next year's draft.

Ravens vs. Colts (Saturday @ 8:15)
Prediction: 23-21 Ravens

This might be the only true upset I could see happening. The Ravens defense looked REAL good last week. Sure Tom Brady had his worst playoff performance of his career but who do you think caused that?! The Colts are good. Peyton Manning has something like 8 4th quarter tying or game-winning drives or something around that many. However, I think their defense is overrated. The Colts have had a recent history of flaking out after sitting their starters for the last couple weeks then getting the first week off. I could be TOTALLY wrong about this. The Colts could win 31-10. But something is telling me to go the other way.

Cowboys vs. Vikings (Sunday @ 1:00)
Prediction: 27-14 Cowboys

I don't think this will be the best game of the weekend like everybody is saying. The Vikings are hurt on defense with their MLB out. They have a rookie in his place. I don't trust a rookie to cover Jason Witten or Felix Jones out of the backfield. Unless his name is Patrick Willis. The Cowboys will run to the outside when they run. And they will move Romo around inside the pocket to keep the big Williams boys at bay. Dallas' defense looks like something to write home about. Peterson is having a down year compared to previous seasons. Unfortunately, I am picking the Cowboys to win big in this game.

Jets vs. Chargers (Sunday @ 4:40)
Prediction: 27-10

Chargers are the hottest team in the league at the moment. Jets had a nice run, but they can't beat the Chargers. Jets might get more than 10 points because of their run game. But Revis can't cover ALL of the weapons the Chargers possess.
