Little did I know that Bill Parcells’ quarterbacking commandments would bring quite a bit of traffic to YBB.. If you stopped by for yesterday morning, and the site was down, thank Mr. Parcells. I have to say, there are either a lot of aspiring quarterbacks out there, or Bill Parcells is the E.F. Hutton of the NFL studio. Either way, everything’s running smoothly now..As far as last week, wow what a week it was. Dallas pulled out a miracle, Leinart’s season is over, the Steelers stomped the Seahawks, and the Colts and Patriots played like the elite teams that they are. As for me.. I was under .500 (5-8-1, 34-31-7 on the season), and now fun time’s over. It’s time to right this ship.Buffalo, Denver, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and Detroit have the bye week. And, as always, I don’t pick for or against my beloved Philadelphia Eagles. The home team is in bold type.

Cincinnati -3 over Kansas City: Time for the Bengals to start their run to respectability. It won’t look like it at first, but the Chiefs will send their fans home disappointed.

Houston +6.5 over Jacksonville: Don’t ask me how the Jaguars do it but they win… And it’s usually ugly.. So the Jags win but they don’t cover.

Cleveland -4.5 over Miami: Trent Green got knocked out last week, and Joey Porter’s trashing Kellen Winslow jr… Doesn’t sound like a team headed in the right direction. Back to back road games will leave Miami drained in the second half.

Chicago -5 over Minnesota: The Bears pulled out the victory over the Pack last week, but I’m not willing to say that they’re back. They don’t have to be “back” to take down the Vikings. In a scheduling quirk, Minnesota is playing it’s 3rd of 4 road games in a row. They had a bye week last week to break up the monotony.

Baltimore -9.5 over St. Louis: The Rams are 0-5 and have lost their 2 road games this season by a combined score of 59-10. Even the unimpressive Ravens should beat them by 2 touchdowns.

Tennessee +3 over Tampa Bay: This is an interesting game. Both of these times are fighting for respect, and a victory over the other would go along ways to establishing some. Both teams stomped the Saints, and lost to the Colts.. If I had to pick a game that was most likely to push, it would be this one.

Green Bay -3 over Washington: The Redskins have been a nice story for the first quarter of the season. Jason Campbell’s played well, and the defense is quietly shutting people down. I still like the Packers this weekend. Under 40.5 anyone?

Arizona -4.5 over Carolina: If David Carr can’t go, the Panthers are gonna start 43 year old Vinny Testaverde. Carolina is 3-0 on the road, but that was before they ran into Kurt Warner.

New England -4.5 over Dallas: This game features great names and matchups. Brady vs. Romo, T.O. vs. Moss, the Patriots D vs. the Cowboys D. Bill Belichick vs. Wade Phillips. Wait. What? Yeah, I’m rollin’ with New England.

Oakland +10 over San Diego: I feel like I’m taking a chance here. Not because it’s the big bad Chargers against the lowly Raiders, but because Oak-town might be without Warren Sapp and Derrick Burgess.

Seattle -6.5 over New Orleans: The Saints are bad this year. I know, that’s a major news flash. But what I’m saying is, it’s time for me to quit holding out hope that they’ll get it turned around… Especially up in the Pacific Northwest.

NYG -3 over Atlanta: This is gonna be the Monday Night game? This is a joke… Funny how this season can not escape Michael Vick.
