NFL Top 10 and Week 6 Picks

1 - NY Giants 5-0 (Last week 1)
Mercy move by the Giants when they pull Eli to go with Carr in the drubbing of the Raiders. Big game next week when they travel to New Orleans to face the undefeated Saints.

2 - New Orleans 4-0 (Last week 2)
We’ll keep the Saints at number two after the by week. Two weeks off to prepare to host the Giants will help.

3 - Indianapolis 5-0 (Last week 3)
The Titans defense could not slow the Colts as they cruise to an easy 31-9 victory. 309 yards in the air and 3 touchdowns for Peyton.

4 - Minnesota 5-0 (Last week 4)
You can only beat who you are scheduled to play. An easy win on the road over the Rams this week, but a big challenge coming up when they host the Ravens.

5 - Denver 5-0 (Last week 8)
All they do is keep winning. A very impressive come from behind overtime victory against the Patriots including a 95 yard fourth quarter drive by Orton who had 330 yards and 2 touchdown passes.

6 - Philadelphia 3-1 (Last week unranked)
McNabb returns from his injury with 3 TD passes and the Eagles from their by week cruising to a solid 33-14 win over the Bucs.

7 - New England 3-2 (Last week 5)
The Patriots played a solid game but let the Broncos fight back to tie the game late and then lose in overtime.

8 - Atlanta 3-1 (Last week unranked)
No problem for the Falcons as they shred the Niners defense. Ryan passed for 329 yards and 2 touchdowns while Turner had 97 yards and 3 touchdowns rushing.

9 - Cincinnati 4-1 (Last week unranked)
Another surprise team off to a good start. A road win against the Ravens last week gives them the lead in the division.

10 - NY Jets 3-2 (Last week 6)
Very unlike the Jets to give up 21 points in the fourth quarter. After two tough losses on the road hosting the Bills at home next week should be the perfect tonic.

Top Picks Week 6 (Last week 0-3, Season 6-9)

Chicago plus 3 ½ at Atlanta. This should be a tough game decided by a touchdown either way so I’m taking the Bears plus the points.

Houston plus 6 at Cincinnati. Maybe I’m late believing in the Bengals but I’m taking the Texans and the points in what I think could be an outright win.

NY Giants plus 3 at New Orleans. The big game of the week with two undefeated teams. I’m not ready to go against the consistency of the Giants so I’m taking them and the points.
