Phil's NFL Picks
49ers (2-5) @ Falcons (1-6)
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
PICK: FALCONS
Zach's Thought: I think the Falcons might be the worst team in the NFL, despite the win. San Francisco

Bengals (2-5) @ Bills (3-4)
Bet Marvin Lewis goes for the touchdown if the chance arises again.
PICK: BILLS
Zach's thought: It just doesn't look good for the Bengals right now. Bills

Broncos (3-4) @ Lions (5-2)
A Matt Millen run team that wins? What is the NFL coming to?
PICK: LIONS
Zach's thought: The Broncos need Jason Elam to play about 20 more positions. Lions

Panthers (4-3) @ Titans (5-2)
Likely Carolina starter David Carr is 2-8 for his career against Tennessee.
PICK: TITANS
Zach's thought: Both AFC wildcards may come out of the South. Titans.

Packers (6-1) @ Chiefs (4-3)
Fast Fact: Along with Green Bay, the only team Brett Favre has never defeated is Kansas City.
PICK: CHIEFS
Zach's thought: Brett Favre sure got the oversell last week on MNF. On the other hand, his wife was the best announcer last week.

Chargers (4-3) @ Vikings (2-5)
San Diego is finding their stride. Minnesota is finding out they really need to address the QB situation this offseason.
PICK: CHARGERS
Zach's thought: SD is a reminder that a poor start can be overcome. SD.

Jaguars (5-2) @ Saints (3-4)
After a horrific 0-4 start, New Orleans is right back in the NFC playoff picture.
PICK: JAGUARS
Zach's thought: Maybe the toughest call this week. Jags.

Redskins (4-3) @ Jets (1-7)
Think Washington is a tad peeved after last week's embarrassing 52-7 loss?
PICK: REDSKINS

Cardinals (3-4) @ Buccaneers (4-4)
Arizona is the only NFL team without a first quarter touchdown this season.
PICK: BUCCANEERS
Zach's thought: Luckily, AZ faces the Browns this year. Bucs.

Seahawks (4-3) @ Browns (4-3)
Shaun Alexander has not had a rushing touchdown in the last five games.
PICK: SEAHAWKS
Zach's thought: He's facing the right team. Seahawks.

Patriots (8-0) @ Colts (7-0)
Easily the game of year.
PICK: PATRIOTS
Zach's thought: Colts are Super Bowl champs, and undefeated. Am I missing something? Colts.

Texans (3-5) @ Raiders (2-5)
Houston has lost five of their last six games.
PICK: RAIDERS
Zach's thought: Houston is learning how tough it is to convince people you're building a good organization. Raiders.

SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Cowboys (6-1) @ Eagles (3-4)
Bizarre stat: Eagles swept the series in 2004. Cowboys swept in 2005. Eagles swept in 2006. So if I do the math right...
PICK: COWBOYS
Zach's thought: Does NBC have a Notre Dame-like deal with the Cowboys? Cowboys.

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Ravens (4-3) @ Steelers (5-2)
Pittsburgh has not lost a home Monday night game since 1991.
PICK: STEELERS
Zach's thought: ESPN will show Ray Lewis firing up his team then talk about what a great leader he is. Then he will do nothing as Pittsburgh piles up the points.

BYES

Bears (3-5)
Can we label Cedric Benson a bust?

Dolphins (0-8)
Chris Chambers was traded. Ronnie Brown is injured. The season is lost

Giants (6-2)
So much for Tom Coughlin being on the hot seat this year.

Rams (0-8)
The Greatest Show on Turf is officially closed.

LAST WEEK: 9-4 Z: 10-3
OVERALL: 76-40 Z: 72-44
