take conneticut+18, navy will wallup army once again, LSU will slap a muzzle on them lucky dawgs of georgia just for showing up for the game, cincinnati will keep the steelers on a downward spiral and carolina will put the filthy birds of atlanta in their place along with their average QB who happens to be a little faster than others in his position so that makes him great, WRONG carolina will destroy the birds on sunday in charlotte! TAKE THESE PICKS AND DEPOSIT THEM IN THE BANK!

Sounds ok except for your Pittsburgh - Cincinnati game insanity. Look for the Steelers to more than cover the 3.5-4 point spread. In fact, I put a C note on them a half hour ago. Not a Steelers fan, but easy money is easy money.

I don't bet college, but the NFL picks are questionable at best.

PGH needs to win to stay in the playoff race. The running back by committy will not be in affect this week so look for a lot of Parker early and Duce late in the game when PGH has a lead. No noise to contend with this week either. Also, Ben will be back in the swing of things, throwing better passes, and making more plays as he has in the past.

Atlanta is tough, and need to win as well to stay in the playoff race. Carolina is struggling to score touchdowns. It will be close if ATL's Defense steps up, if not you will win this one.

That Cincinati defense looks like a shambles to me. Giving up 29 in a quarter-and-a-half to the Ravens is brutal. They actually made Kyle Boller look like a competant NFL quarterback. The Steelers present a difficult matchup problem for the Bengals, because Pittsburg runs the ball and the Bengals can't stop the run. While the Steelers may be a little shellshocked coming off a short week and a drubbing by the Colts, playing a division rival (they prepared for and defeated a month ago) helps them get ready a little sooner. I bet Cowher has his group ready for this game and, if Roethlisberger is relatively healthy, Steeltown is a pretty good bet.
