Please Tell Me This Will Get Better, Part 2: NFL

Alright I'm splitting the picks up again because it's tough to read all 12 at once and I know my bigger NFL fans would prefer it separate so they don't have to scroll. But here they are and I'm usually not that bad with these, won four last week.

1. Redskins (4-2) over Patriots (7-0)- Yeah I am the only one picking the 4-2 Skins over the 7-0 Patriots. This is nothing to take away from the Pats, who look amazing, but the Skins actually could do this. Belichick and his boys haven't seen a stifling D like the Skins and Brady himself complimented Sean Taylor and his improved coverage. Its up to the front four on D to get stops and keep the offense on the field. Skins by 3.

2. Buccaneers (4-3) over Jaguars (4-2)- In this battle of the decent Florida teams the Buccaneers will look to take advantage of the Jaguars coming off an unimpressive loss to the Jags. Garrard may have a bad ankle and Tampa Bay will definitely go hard after whoever is taking the snaps. Bucs by 7 in a low scoring affair.

3. Steelers (4-2) over Bengals (2-4)- This Bengals team that was supposed to be one of the hot teams in the league can't even get along with each other. Pittsburgh's always tough defense will play smart and not overlook Cincinnati's potential for the big play. Pittsburgh by 7.

4. Bills (2-4) over Jets (1-6)- This one is really a toss-up because they both look pathetic. Together with the no-win Dolphins these two are just making it that much easier for the Patriots to cruise to what could be a 15-1 season (the one loss will be against the Skins). I like the Bills Marshawn Lynch to be the x-factor and move the Bills offense toward a 13 point win.

5. Colts (6-0) over Panthers (4-2)- The defending Super Bowl champs still look in top-form with all the offensive weapons. The Panthers will have one of the better defenses that Indy will face all year, but Coach Fox hasn't named a starter at QB with Delhomme still out. Colts in typical high-scoring fashion by 14.

6. Vikings (2-4) over Eagles (2-4)- Both teams are cellar-dwellers in their respective division and haven't played too well defensively. The edge goes to the Vikings though who have the top rusher in the NFC in rookie Adrian Peterson. McNabb has little options around him and has only led the offense over 20 points once. Vikings win by 10.
