Saints Rolling

I think I had my worse week ever making picks in the NFL. Even without the Monday night game I am only 6-7.

My worse pick of the week was taking the Giants to beat the Saints. Drew Brees is probably the best pure passer in the league. If the Saints continue to have a good defense to go along with the offense they will be hard to beat. Minnesota remains unbeaten but there is something about the way they are playing I don't like.

Tonight's Monday Night football game is a clear cut. Denver who is one of the surprises of the season and it looks as if their defense is for real. San Diego comes in and if they lose tonight they are done for any playoffs this year. I suspect San Diego will win this week but I don't think there is any catching Denver like they did last year.

The Jet's Sanchez was the darling of the NFL after three weeks. Now he looks like the average rookie quarterback going through the learning process. Even though I hated the score wasn't the Titans-Pats game fun to watch. That to me is the NFL playing in the frozen Tundra or with the field covered with snow.

I don't know how N C State can play any worse. Every one has been blaming the secondary for all their missed tackles. What I saw Saturday was slow linebackers.

The first BCS standing of the year came out Sunday and Florida is #1. I think Bama will win if they meet in the SEC championship. What scares me about Alabama is they have a great defense but the offense may need to score forty to win the National Championship and I don't know if they can do that. But, looking at the other teams who can beat them.

The Carolina Hurricanes are underway and off to a 2-4 start. Somehow Carolina has got to get a line up that can score four goals a game. They are built to play 2-1 games and when you can't score you are always the team with one goal.
