Week 6 Picks --

by Orod412

[1] Miami at Cleveland [2] If you’re handed a Lemon, make some Cleo Lemonade. That’s exactly what the 0-5 Dolphins look to do after Trent Green’s possible career ending injury last week at Houston. If the Dolphins were smart, they’d bypass Lemon and start rookie John Beck to see if he’s got the makings of their future QB, especially as they head into a top 5 pick in next year’s draft. Of course, these are the Dolphins we’re talking about, so they’re surely going to start Lemon and waste their pick on the rest of Ted Ginn’s family. I’m also hoping Brady Quinn finds some way to get into the game, as I’m sure he’d have a Culpepper like performance against the team that famously passed on him during last years draft. Nevertheless, I’m picking the Dolphins because, well, they gotta win sometime right?…right? Winner: Miami

[3] Minnesota at Chicago [4] Can anyone explain to me why teams insist on kicking the ball to Devin Hester? What’s the thought process there? I can’t think of any reason, I really can’t. Anyway, the Vikings come off of their bye-week to face the Bears, who are still reeling after their big win at Green Bay. Chicago is still trying to find some semblance at QB, where Brian Griese is just getting by. Winner: Chicago

[5] Washington at Green Bay [6] Washington played another good game against Detroit, shutting down the leagues number 1 offense. Favre however is a master at spreading the field and finding open receivers. As long as Green Bay keeps turnovers to a minimum, they should be able to get passed the ’skins. Winner: Green Bay

[7] Philadelphia at New York [8] Maybe the Jets are missing Fireman Ed after all. The Jets have a horrid run defense which should allow the Eagles RB’s, Buckhalter and Westbrook, to run all over them. Winner: Philadelphia

[9] St.Louis at Baltimore [10] I think I’m going through withdrawal symptoms or something, but if I don’t see Ray Lewis’ endzone dance soon, something bad might happen. Winner: Baltimore

[11] Tennessee at Tampa Bay [12] 6 weeks in and the Madden curse has yet to rear it’s ugly head. Speaking of Madden, if you’ve watched TBS programming for any amount of time lately, you’ve surely noticed the commercials for FrankTV that run every thirty seconds. They’re out of control with that stuff. I wouldn’t go as far as calling it as worse than the Dane Cook playoff commercials, but it’s up there. Winner: Tampa Bay

[13] Cincinnati at Kansas City [14] KC really needs Larry Johnson to get it going or they’re in for a long season. If they fail to do so, Brodie Croyle will surely have a heck of a time, even against a banged up Bengals defense. Look for Cincinnati to pound the ball, as the Chiefs couldn’t stop Jacksonville’s inside running game last week. Winner: Cincinnati

[15] Houston at Jacksonville [16] In reference to Houston kicker Kris Brown, Jason Taylor eloquently says “he kicked the hell out of that ball!” Brown nailed three kicks from over 50 yards against the Dolphins, but the Texans can’t live off of a kicker alone and will at some point have to score some TD’s. They’re also going to have to shore up the line on defense as they couldn’t stop Ronnie Brown last week. Jacksonville’s Maurice Jones-Drew if finally starting to get back on track after a poor start, and will surely look to keep that going. Winner: Jacksonville

[17] Carolina at Arizona [18] Cardinals QB Matt Leinart is out for the year with a fractured collarbone. If Kurt Warner is hurt and needs to come out, Tim Rattay will be asked to fill in. In an odd twist, Vinny Testaverde turned town an opportunity to join Arizona, and instead signed on with Carolina. How bad is it to have Vinny Testaverde turn you down? Winner: Carolina

[19] New England at Dallas [20] Excellent matchup, with that guy from Dallas, and what’s his face from New England. I hear New England is sorta good this year, but I just haven’t seen or heard anything about it. Winner: Patriots

[21] Oakland at San Diego [22] The Chargers finally looked like the team everyone expected them to be. It might have been a little premature for critics to oust San Diego from the playoffs, but then again Norv Turner is still their coach so who knows what’ll happen. Winner: San Diego

New Orleans at Seattle [23] Turns out Olindo Mare sucks in a dome too. For years we heard him complain about kicking on the Marlins dirt at Dolphin Stadium. You’re in a dome now ‘lindo, what do you have to say for yourself? Winner: Seattle

New York at Atlanta [24] I’m going to go out on a limb and say the Giants sack Joey Harrington 35 times. Atlanta might have a shot if they’re able to establish a running game, but they’re starting a rookie at left tackle, and the Giants’ Osi Umenyiora eats rookies for lunch. There is also the fact that Joey Harrington is still Joey Harrington, but that’s besides the point. Winner: New York

Washington will knock off Farve and company. Teh defense will be able to handle the Green bay offense simply because Farve doesn't have a running game to help him.
