Week 6 NFL Picks: Eh...

Last week, eh. Not bad, not great. My Stink-Free Pick of the Week proved to be an absolute abomination as the Giants rolled the 'Skins. There you go, folks. You know what to do. Let's get it on. Oh, I'm going to be in Phoenix this Monday for the Bears-Cardinals Monday night game. If anyone knows the hottest discotheques and a classy fondue joint, let me know...

Home team in CAPS

DETROIT -1 over Buffalo
2-3 versus 0-5. This game does not deserve my Shakespearean prose. Lions get their first win of the season. Done.

Carolina +3 over BALTIMORE
Baltimore is a fraud. You heard it here first. Their division is tough, they still have to face Atlanta AND go to New Orleans and Kansas City. Oh, and they have the Panthers this week. Panthers make this one very close.

Cincinnati -4.5 at TAMPA BAY
Bruce Gradowski does not play well two weeks in a row. Carson Palmer always does.

Houston -13.5 over DALLAS
This is a big line for a team with Drew Bledsoe at quarterback. He scrambles like a blind guy surrounded by cackling gang members. Texans "upset" the Dolphins last week and the Eagles proved you can definitely pass rush successfully against that Cowboy's O-line.

ATLANTA -3 over New York Giants
One of the best games of the week. Vick, Dunn and company seem real comfortable in that dome of theirs and baby Manning doesn't like playing on the road.

Philadelphia -2.5 over NEW ORLEANS
I love my Bears but if the Eagles hadn't collapsed in the fourth quarter against the Giants, they'd also be undefeated. McNabb is one of the few QB's in the league who will have success in the Superdome this season.

ST. LOUIS +3 over Seattle
Seahawks are pretty one-dimensional without Shaun Alexander. Division rivals and you gotta give the nod to the home team Rams who see Seattle as more vulnerable than the past couple of years.

Tennessee +10 over WASHINGTON
I don't know about this one. But Vince Young and the Titans hung tough with the Colts last week. Redskins got smoked. I don't see a ten-point seesaw affect for these two teams.

PITTSBURGH -7 over Kansas City
Going on a gut instinct that the Chiefs don't play two good road games in a row. They're just not that kind of team. And Super Bowl champs at home with their proverbial BACKS AGAINST THE WALL!? Gotta take the Steel crew.

NEW YORK JETS -2 over Miami
Okay, so the Jets disappointed me last week with their drubbing in Jacksonville. But they're still a nice little surprise and the Dolphins lost to the Texans last week. The Houston Texans. I'll let the sink in...

San Diego -7 over SAN FRANCISCO
UNCLE DAVE'S STINK-FREE DIAPER PICK OF THE WEEK
How did the Chargers blow that game in Baltimore? Oh yeah, Marty Schottenheimer is a weak dork and played for field goals once he got a small lead. But he's learned his lesson and Philip Rivers showed he can air it out last week.

DENVER -16.5 over Oakland
Piling it on at this point. 99 percent chance the Broncos cover and I don't have the onions to be the one guy who gets it right with the Raiders.

Chicago -9.5 over ARIZONA
I better not be jinxing my boys here. Knock knock. Bears defense against a rookie QB. I'll be at the game along with thousands of other Bears fans negating Cardinals home field advantage.

Happy betting.

Last week: 7-5-2
Uncle Dave's Stink-Free Diaper Picks of the Week: 1-5
Overall: 39-32-2
