Phil's NFL Picks
Vikings (1-3) @ Bears (2-3)
Good: Minnesota had a bye week to prepare for this game. Bad: Kelly Holcomb is still on their roster.
PICK: BEARS
Zach's thought: The Bears should win, riding the momentum of last week. Bears

Dolphins (0-5) @ Browns (2-3)
This will be Miami's first trip to Cleveland since 1993, according to USA Today, which is wrong.
PICK: BROWNS
Zach's thought: The day I pick the Browns will be the day I want to jinx myself. Dolphins.

Redskins (3-1) @ Packers (4-1)
The lack of a running game is catching up with Green Bay.
PICK: REDSKINS
Zach's thought: Still not sold on either, but GB is at home. Packers.

Bengals (1-3) @ Chiefs (2-3)
It's a toss up as to who has the worst defense of these two.
PICK: BENGALS
Zach's thought: I see the good Bengals re-emerging here. Bengals.

Eagles (1-3) @ Jets (1-4)
Maybe the Philadelphia offensive line can keep the QB sacks in the single digits this week.
PICK: EAGLES
Zach's thought: Using the AFC is better than NFC model, I am going with a slight upset. Jets.

Titans (3-1) @ Buccaneers (3-2)
Not having Cadillac Williams in this game will be too much for Tampa Bay to overcome.
PICK: TITANS
Zach's thought: I must have been drifing off when I made this pick. TB.

Texans (3-2) @ Jaguars (3-1)
Byron Leftwich who?
PICK: JAGUARS
Zach's thought: This might be a better game than some thing, although the Jaguars will probably prevail. Jaguars.

Rams (0-5) @ Ravens (3-2)
Anyone else think Baltimore should just name Kyle Boller the full time starting QB?
PICK: RAVENS
Zach's thought: Ravens might win this one 3-2. Ravens.

Panthers (3-2) @ Cardinals (3-2)
Desperate for a QB, Carolina dusted off and signed Vinny Testaverde.
PICK: CARDINALS
Zach's thought: If the Cardinals want anyone to take them seriously, they need this one. Cardinals.

Patriots (5-0) @ Cowboys (5-0)
Barring something drastic, these two teams will likely have their rematch in Super Bowl XLII.
PICK: PATRIOTS
Zach's thought: Not if the Colts have anything to say about it. Colts.

Raiders (2-2) @ Chargers (2-3)
Fast Fact: Against Oakland, LaDainian Tomlinson averages 121.3 yards rushing yards per game.
PICK: CHARGERS
Zach's thought: Chargers need this one. Chargers.

SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Saints (0-4) @ Seahawks (3-2)
National television gets to welcome back the Aints.
PICK: SEAHAWKS
Zach's thought: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Seahawks.

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Giants (3-2) @ Falcons (1-4)
Eli Manning vs Joey Harrington is a mismatch.
PICK: GIANTS
Zach's thought: Unless the Indians and Red Sox wrap up early, I'll miss this one. Well, maybe not miss it. Giants.

BYES

49ers (2-3)
They need to be more than the Frank Gore Show

Bills (1-4)
So how bad are you to force six turnovers and still lose?

Broncos (2-3)
That 2-0 start seems like such a farce now.

Colts (5-0)
Bye week comes at a perfect time to get Marvin Harrison and Joseph Addai healthy.

Lions (3-2)
They have been blown out in each of their losses

Steelers (4-1)
Have quickly become the team to beat in the AFC North.

LAST WEEK: 10-4 Z: 12-2
OVERALL: 51-25 Z:46-30
