Week 4 Review: Breaking Down My Picks

Well, I went 11-5 this week.  That brings the overall season record to 19-12.

I missed on the Buffalo game.  How do you lose to the Bengals? 

I missed on the Eagles losing to the 49ers.  How can the "Dream Team" be such a nightmare? 

I missed on the Rams beating the Redskins, but that is just because I'm a homer and I picked the Rams. 

I missed on the Browns playing well at home and beating the Titans.  Tennessee looks really good right now. 

And I missed on the Steelers beating the Texans.  I like the way Houston is playing right now.

Other than that—not too shabby!  Here are my picks.

Carolina at Chicago (W): RIGHT, but Cam Newton played a lot better than I thought he would.  Is it too early to start calling him "Rookie of the Year Cam Newton" yet?

Buffalo (L) at Cincinnati: WRONG, and this loss could come back to haunt the Bills. When you are the surprise 3-0 team in the NFL, you just can't lose to the Bengals.

Tennessee at Cleveland (L): WRONG, and boy was I wrong.  Tennessee looks really good so far this season. 

Detroit (W) at Dallas: RIGHT, but there is no way I could predict that the 'Boys would blow that big lead. 

Minnesota at Kansas City (W): RIGHT, and the Chiefs look like they might be a three- or four-win team. That means they still suck, but they won't have a chance at the top pick in the draft.

Washington at St. Louis (L): WRONG, and I probably won't pick the Rams again for the rest of the season.  They are the worst team in the NFL.

San Francisco at Philadelphia (L): WRONG, and let's go ahead and make this official—the Eagles are the most disappointing team in the NFL.

New Orleans (W) at Jacksonville: RIGHT.  Man, that was easy.

Pittsburgh (L) at Houston: WRONG, and I'm officially putting Steelers fans on notice.  I don't think your team going to make the playoffs.

New York Giants (W) at Arizona: RIGHT, and this was a nice road win for the Giants.  I have to give some credit to the Cardinals, also.  They are competing hard so far this season.

Atlanta  (W) at Seattle: RIGHT, but let's give the Seahawks a little credit.  They played so well that I'm not even going to make a Pete Carroll joke this week.  Wait, does that count as a Pete Carroll Joke?  Sorry, Pete!

Denver at Green Bay (W): RIGHT, and Green Bay looks awesome right now.

New England (W) at Oakland: RIGHT, but the Pats' D is awful.  Good thing they have that Brady fella on offense, or they would be in trouble.

Miami at San Diego (W): RIGHT, but the Chargers are just missing "something," aren't they?

New York Jets at Baltimore (W): RIGHT, and Baltimore didn't do anything to make me change my mind.  They are the best team in the AFC right now.

Indianapolis at Tampa Bay (W): RIGHT, but it was ugly.  Tampa Bay isn't playing well, but they are winning.  This is either the mark of a good team, or they are going to struggle against better competition.
