NFL picks - Week 4

Yes, I am starting a little bit late. If you must know I have been making picks for ESPN Pigskin Pick'em, but we are going to kick it up a notch here. I'm going to pick against the spread and watch in misery as I inevitably finish under .500%. So here we go, week 4.

Oakland @ Miami (-4) - I almost always pick the 'Phins, because I'm a homer
Houston (-3) @ Atlanta - Falcons might not win until Vick is in jail
Baltimore (-4) @ Cleveland - Ravens win, McNair gets the win, Boller the save
Chicago (-3) @ Detroit - They are begging me to pick Detroit, I won't
Green Bay @ Minnesota (+2) - The Pack can't go 4-0, can they?
St. Louis (+13) @ Dallas - Dallas will settle down but still win
NY Jets @ Buffalo (+3.5) - Jet's fans foolishly optimistic
Tampa Bay @ Carolina (-3) - I have no clue when it comes to the NFC South
Seattle @ San Francisco (+2) - Frank Gore, enough said
Pittsburgh @ Arizona (+6) - I'm drinking the kool aid
Kansas City @ San Diego (-11.5) - Fantasy players anxiously await this one
Denver (+9.5) @ Indianapolis - Colts don't win big anymore
Philadelphia (-2.5) @ NY Giants - Two highly criticized quarterbacks

I'll pick the MNF game on Monday.

Raiders @ Dolphins full preview and prediction comes sometime tomorrow or Sunday morning.

The Dolphins select, Ted Ginn...

"Wow that's surprising"
- Brady Quinn

Let me start this thing off by saying that I'm really rooting for Ted Ginn and John Beck. It was huge gamble the organization took to pass on Quinn but they got the guys they wanted. Let's hope they have long careers in Miami. Ginn was a reach at ninth overall though, we should have traded down.
