NFL 2009 Week 6 picks

It’s Sunday morning and I don’t believe the weather has been better all year. (I think we turned off our A/C for the first time since early March.)

The point is I’m feeling good. The Bucs actually have a chance to win (for the last time this season) and my girlfriend and I actually enjoyed (instead of dreaded) walking around outside for a little bit yesterday.

Of course, that means I haven’t actually sat down to do my picks. Like the Saints, Giants, Colts, Vikings and Broncos, I haven’t tasted defeat. Following another solid performance (9-5 week, 53-23 overall), here are my lightning quick picks for week 6.

HOUSTON @ CINCINNATI
The Bengals HAVE to be feeling good about themselves. Methinks a little TOO good.

DETROIT @ GREEN BAY
The Lions are good enough to not be lumped in with the truly awful teams from this season (Bucs, Chiefs, Raiders, Browns, Bills, Rams, Titans), but they’re not good enough to, you know, beat a good team.

BALTIMORE @ MINNESOTA
I’m just wondering which misguided defensive penalty is going to kill the Ravens THIS week.

N.Y. GIANTS @ NEW ORLEANS
I think we get a repeat of the Jets/Saints game and the Saints defense actually makes more big plays to win this one.

CLEVELAND @ PITTSBURGH
I’m not in love with the way the Steelers seem to be sleepwalking through this season.

CAROLINA @ TAMPA BAY
I just don’t see it. Sorry

KANSAS CITY @ WASHINGTON
If Kansas City knew how to tackle, they would’ve beaten the Cowboys last weekend. If the Redskins knew how to play offense, defense or special teams, they might’ve beaten the Panthers last weekend.

ST. LOUIS @ JACKSONVILLE
You wouldn’t like Maurice Jones-Drew (pictured, left) when he’s angry. (And I face him in one of my fantasy leagues this week. Yikes!)

ARIZONA @ SEATTLE
I would like Seattle at home even if Hasselbeck hadn’t come back last week and lit it up.

PHILADELPHIA @ OAKLAND
Not only is JaMarcus Russell the worst QB I’ve ever seen. He’s the worst quarterback of all time. True story.

TENNESSEE @ NEW ENGLAND
I’m feeling a patented 3 TD game from Randy Moss, who’s on the verge of pouting.

BUFFALO @ N.Y. JETS
The Bills are what the doctor ordered after the vaunted Jets defense got smacked around by the Dolphins. This matchup is sure to build their overconfidence back up.

CHICAGO @ ATLANTA
I love the way Atlanta stepped on San Francisco’s throat last weekend. They were mean and it was awesome.

DENVER @ SAN DIEGO
I don’t know why, but San Diego just has a knack for winning JUST before their season completely falls in the toilet.
