I'm going with the Ravens in Week 5.

I will take down the robot. Oh yes, I shall.

Indy leads KC 6-3 at halftime.

Indy was the most commonly picked team among a few hundred thousand users on in the Yahoo Survivor game, and for good reason. But I avoided them for a couple of reasons.

1) I'm a Chiefs fan. I hate picking against my own team. This obviously wouldn't deter anyone else though, so the real reasons...

2) The Colts rush defense sucks, and the KC rush attack is one of the best in the league. I figured KC would try to grind out the clock as much as possible with the running game to keep Manning on the sidelines. Charles and Jones are a great tandem to pound a bad defense.

3) The Chiefs defense is solid, and I figured they'd try to force the Colts to run the ball, which is not the Colts' strong suit. That's easier said then done, of course, but so far it looks like the Chiefs are keeping the Colts offense in check.

I'm not saying I thought the Chiefs would win, but I definitely wouldn't shock me at all if they did. It just didn't seem as safe a bet as the other options on the board.

OK, just wanted to talk positively about my favorite team a bit. Haven't been able to do that for a few years.

Now watch the Colts rip them apart in the second half with 3 straight TD drives.

I don't know about a career night, but I'd be surprised if he didn't at least score one TD. Peterson is the guy I expect to benefit the most from the Moss acquisition; teams no longer can stack 8 men in the box.

I think it will be fairly low-scoring. Vikings 20-17.

When was the last time the Lions scored over 40 points? Lol at Rams, and to think I was starting to have some kind of respect for them too

Yeah, the Rams had been really competitive in all their losses so I liked their chances against the Lions. Then they go out and take about 4 steps backwards.

EDIT: I'm taking the Steelers in Week 6.

I had my pick in Sunday night. It's in my last post. I didn't want to double post so I tacked it on.

Steelers.

Sorry, Klim...

Forgiven.

Week 7 is looking brutal as I've already picked all the of the "lock" teams in previous weeks. I guess I'll hold my nose and go with Denver...though that's subject to change.
