Power 5

2. Cowboys (3-0) – The "Boys" are looking tough in an even weaker than expected NFC. Romo could be coming into some big money...big enough money that rumors of him dating the likes of Jessica Simpson will be actual cable reality shows.

3. Colts (3-0) – Defense is much better than advertised and offensive line is very dominant. Peyton having time and throwing to the weapons that he has spells serious trouble to the rest of the league.

4. Steelers (3-0) – Will need to still prove that they can win against stronger teams then they played the first three weeks. (I said that last week)

5. Packers (3-0) -- We have a newcomer to the Power 5. Brett Farve has looked good with very little talent surrounding him. The big question will be if he can continue to play error free.

Sunday, Sep. 30
Baltimore vs Cleveland 1:00
Kyle Boller is back or is he? Doesn't matter in this game because Jamal Lewis isn't going anywhere against his former team and Willis McGahee will run all over the Browns the same way Lewis did for several years.
Ravens 27 Browns 9

Chicago vs Detroit 1:00
The Brian Griese era begins in Chicago but look for Detroit to showcase their offensive weapons against a depleted Bears D.
Lions 38 Bears 31

Green Bay vs Minnesota 1:00
Kelly Holcomb is an upgrade at QB for the Vikings. Farve historically has struggled at the Metrodome. Look for the Vikes to pound Peterson to a home victory.
Vikes 13 Pack 10

Houston vs Atlanta 1:00
Michael Vick busted for weed...are you really surprised? D Hall goes off and just gets fined...are you really surprised? Falcons win this week...now that would be a surprise!
Texans 23 Falcons 14

N.Y. Jets vs Buffalo 1:00
Bills could have a chance in this game if it weren't for those dirty Patriots (see video above).
Jets 13 Bills 3

Oakland vs Miami 1:00
Classic...Culpepper makes first start against team that never gave him a chance to heal. Look for him to get revenge.
Raiders 24 Dolphins 14

St. Louis vs Dallas 1:00
I didn't think the Rams would be 0-3 nor did I think the Cowboys would be 3-0. Which makes it hard to imagine the trend continues...but it will.
Boys 38 Rams 17

Seattle vs San Francisco 4:05
49ers finally lost after a surprising 2-0 start...they play tough at home but don't have enough yet.
Seahawks 24 49ers 19

Tampa Bay vs Carolina 4:05
Bucs BUCS Bucs Bux...this will be the first time I have picked the Bucs to win...hopefully I don't have the power of a jinx.
Bucs 27 Panters 24

Denver vs Indianapolis 4:15
Easy...Colts at Home...Colts Win
Colts 31 Broncos 27

Kansas City vs San Diego 4:15
Schottenheimer, Schott.......both teams would like their former coach back.
Chargers 45 Chiefs 13

Pittsburgh vs Arizona 4:15
Kurt Warner the ageless wonder...quick fact Mike Pepper from 1010am WQYK Sports (Tampa) played against Kurt Warner in Arena League. Now hopefully Mike will help us get Florida Football Magazine Radio show rolling.
Steelers 31 Cards 20

Philadelphia vs N.Y. Giants 8:15
Who cares about the game? The real question is will the Eagles wear those awful uniforms again? Westbrook is a stud and an amazing offensive weapon hopefully he will play. Reggie Brown has been a huge bust on my Fantasy Team...actually I am going to drop him right now. No Plexico for the Giants equals no win for the Gmen.
Eagles 27 Giants 17

Monday, Oct. 1
New England vs Cincinnati 8:30
Patriots are dirty and cheaters. See video above in Power 5. Bengals are criminals.
Dirty Cheaters 38 Bengals 27
