I'd personally pick the underdogs in both. I'm not saying the underdogs will WIN, but I think they'll cover. Especially Miami giving 11, which is WAY too many points, despite how bad Tennessee is.

I just have to pick outright winners. So are you saying Miami will cover, but still lose?

Miami's the favorite. Those are both brutal games to have to pick winners in.

First week I pulled a middling 7-9, but last week I rocked a 13-3. As I was going through the games one by one, at one point I realized I was 10-1. Cant remember such a good week. Of course no money was on the line. Sigh.
As for this week and the two tilts you speak of, going by the current spreads I myself would be going Indy and Tenn.

Good for you, Mark Brunell. Completes his first 22 passes in a dismantling of the Texans today, setting an NFL single game mark. He finished up 24-of-27 for 261 yards and one touchdown pass after looking like shit the first two weeks. Jason Campbell will have to wait a little longer.

Check out the Redskins. Get out of the way - offensive juggernaut coming through. 2 weeks in a row with just about 500 yards in offense chalked into the books.
Sweet.

And then lose to the Giants. enjoy the basement.
As for the cowboys, everyone is on TOs ass, no brainer, but why is Bledsoe forcing passes where they should not be? I really am starting to like him less and less but with the position the boys are in, they can't put in Romo can they? Really can't comeplain, 2-2, 1-1 in the division going into week 6 isn't terrible but the boys should be playing better, they look too sloppy sometimes. Bledsoe the main culprit.
On a funny side note, watching espn news afterwards, they interviewed Lito Shepard and when they asked him what were you thinkng seeing the ball come at you and he responded laughing"oh shit just catch the ball" No bleep over shit either. I tivoed it so I know he said it.

The Cowboys' offensive line -- which has been improved, for the most part, so far this season -- was pathetic. But Bledsoe, as a 293-year veteran, should know better. There are times to get the hell rid of the ball, but there are also times when it's better to take a sack then to throw off your back foot while falling backward with a defender in your face.

Thank you, and yes the o line was the worse its been in our 4 game season so far. And again, can't put in Romo but the boys need a qb that can move. How is Brad Johnson looking on surface better tahn Bledsoe(it's a rhtrotic question)?

I like it. I know he got picked ff late at the end of the game, but the passes and plays he did make looked solid. A downgrade in arm strength for an upgrade in mobility is a good thing.

He was picked off THREE TIMES.
A reason he was an undrafted free agent.
He sucks.

Thats not the point. He couldn't have done worse than Bledsoe at the end of the game. Some of the intos were really bad, but when he was completing passes he looked good. And at this point a change up might be good.

Who the fuck doesn't look good when they are "completing passes?"
You are looking for the light at the end of the rainbow. Or, more apt in this scenario, the little sliver of rotting meat that does not have a maggot on it to bite into.

Tom you dinkleberry, I'm saying the passes made showed me more bout him than the intos. You can make a pass that's horrible and still get caught. When he threw those pics in the 4th fucking JoeMontana would have been picked off too. I'm not comparing him to Montana but any rookie QB who gets put in like he did is going to throw some bad passes. When he starts a game and gets picked off 18 time then use yor littlle maggot anology.

No, cause Joe Montana would have chosen not to make that pass. Romo was a deer in headlights. Playing scared, throwing picks. Its going to get worse before it gets better.

Off of one quater?
I'm not saying this is the next coming of my man number 8, Troy fucking Aikman, but to write this guy off for a few bad passes in the 4th quater in a game that was already over, to quote Chris Walken, That's crazy.
So by your logic no rookie QB should ever start cause they look like a deer in headlights? Godforbid a guy making his first start is overwhelmed by the Nation Football League.
That's fine if you think his carreer is over after one quater, but every team changes QBs eventually, you're going to have bad starts. At this point, a bad start from Romo is better than one from dickhead Bledsoe. But yeah, you're right, Bledsoe should start and Romo should retire.
Ass.

Romo has an excuse for making mistakes. The mistakes that Bledsoe has been making are completely inexcusable. And they need a mobile QB with the O-line struggling.
Am I saying Romo will be Steve Young? No, but the move was necessary, and I think he'll do OK.

Exactly, he's being thrown into the fire, you can't expect something magical coming out of the last quater the boys played. This isn't the move that propells the cowboys to the superbowl, but it's a step in the right direction. Oh and btw, redskins aren't ay top team in the nfl.

I wouldn't say I'm "sold" after one game, either, but I'm definitely encouraged. They looked like a completely different football team. And I really like a lot of the things I saw out of Romo.

So Tom when you said it's only going to get worse, I take it a win isn't a good thing?
I saw a better team with Romo in and Bledsoe out, am I saying the boys are going to win the east, not yet, but this WAS NOT a bad move putting Romo in. How last night constitutes as "getting worse" is beyond me, good call there Tom. Worry about the Redskins.

At this point, I'm just happy that Brunell has been shown the bench, and Jason Campbell is getting a shot. There has been a clamoring and a hue for that for a long while, and my voice had been added to the cacophony a while ago.

It would have happened sooner if the Skins didn't have to go and steal a much-needed division game from the Boys.
