Vegas Hags Pigskin Picks

by Vegas Hags | Nov 2, 2003

Now that looked like the Eagles I remembered from the last two years – great defense and enough 'O' to get the job done. It was nice to see them discover a power running game too. It’s a shame it took Duce's holdout and Westbrook's injury to force Reid's hand! Oh, well – 3-3 and only one game out of first. Can the Birds get above .500 with a win this Sunday in Atlanta or will the Dirty Birds get their revenge from last year’s playoffs? I know one prediction I can make with confidence – Dick Vermeil’s Chiefs will not lose this weekend. Of course, they're on a bye. For all of the other sure things and a few not so sure, keep on reading...

Jacksonville (+7) at Baltimore Neither of these teams excite me, but I’ll go with the home team. I do think the Jags cover.

Ravens 19 – Jags 13

San Diego (+2½) at Chicago Ughh.

Bears 22- Chargers 17

Oakland (-3) at Detroit This should make the Raiders look young again. Unfortunately, not every team is the Lions.

Raiders 26 – Lions 20

Carolina (-6½) at Houston The Panthers are tough. The Texans aren’t ready yet.

Panthers 23 – Texans 20

Indianapolis (+3) at Miami Ooh. A good one! The Dolphins looked tough on Monday night and are at home...but, they have a short week and play a tough division opponent. Let down. Upset of the week.

Colts 27 – Dolphins 24

New York Giants (-2) at New York Jets The battle of new York...I mean, New Jersey. Both of these teams stink, so I’ll go with the home team. They’re both home? Well, it's GIANTS stadium.

Giants 24 – Jets 20

New Orleans (+8) at Tampa Bay I have some advice for Keyshawn – just shut up and play, then maybe you’ll get the damn ball! The Bucs are back.

Bucs 17 – Saints 13

Cincinnati (-3) at Arizona Who is responsible for this week’s schedule? You have got to be kidding me!

Bengals 24 – Cards 22

Pittsburgh (+4) at Seattle Man, the Steelers look bad. Now we know why Tommy Maddox was out of the league. Anyone can make Kordell Stewart look bad! I have to go with the Hawks at home here.

Seahawks 27 – Steelers 24

Washington (+4) at Dallas Cool, these two teams can knock each other around! Unfortunately, The Tuna is a much better coach than the Mouth.

Cowboys 23 – Redskins 20

St. Louis (-2½) at San Francisco The Rams look like the real deal, the Niners look like they miss Mooch.

Rams 35 – Niners 30

Philadelphia (-4) at Atlanta Luckily for us, coach Reid will be forced to run C-Buck. Unlucky for us, Pinkston, Thrash and 'big mouth' Mitchell are all still the wide outs. Hey Freddie – you have to actually accomplish something to act cocky. Anyway, look for the Eagles to run the ball down the Falcons throat and Donovan to make a few big plays. Look for the Falcons to basically suck.

Eagles 26 – Falcons 17

Green Bay (+4½) at Minnesota Look for the Vikings to rebound and knock off the Pack as Favre struggles through his broken thumb. Hey Brett – the team is more important than the streak.

Vikings 28 – Packers 24

New England (+2) at Denver Like I said last week, Danny Kanell – enough said.

Pats 20 – Broncos 17

Enjoy!
