Week 6 Predictions ... Even I think the Eagles will beat the Niners ... but the Eagles will lose McNabb or Westbrook for the season

What's wrong with you, Lysol? Why are you calling your shot on an injury? Especially to a Yard full of rabid (and I mean that literally) Philly fans, especially when D.F. McNabb has his publicist post his blog on this very site? Because you can already tell that the Eagles aren't going to make it through this season healthy. Which, unfortunately, means the Eagles will once again be sitting in the "Wait until next year" seat. The good news? They've worked themselves into a comfortable little groove in that seat. I'm not hoping one of them gets injured. Love both players. Westbrook is a man's man for flipping the bird to his fantasy owners and making the game-smart play. McNabb is just a warrior, and from a historical aspect he is probably the best black quarterback ever. But they have such a hard time putting together a healthy season! They played 13 games together last year, but only 9 games the year before, and 9 games the year before that ... Whenever one of them is hurt, the team takes a serious hit. Well, anyways, to the games ... St. Louis vs. Washington. Besides a possible letdown after accomplishing the unthinkable (consecutive road victories against NFC East opponents) I see nothing that prevents Washington from using St. Louis as a practice squad come Sunday. This weekend is when we start hearing the "no fluke" talk. Redskins by 23. Cincinnati vs. New York Jets. I'm overthinking this one. Palmer might be back healthy, the Bengals aren't as bad as their record indicates, the Jets are still figuring out who they are ... but it doesn't matter. The Jets win this one by eight. Oakland vs. New Orleans. I have to believe that if the Saints can contain Adrian Peterson, they can keep the Raiders running game in check. That, plus the Raiders have been abysmal on the road as of late, with the inexplicable exception of Kansas City. Saints win by 10. Detroit vs. Minnesota. I was tempted to give the Lions a fighting chance due to the rivalry factor. But Minnesota has won 9 out of the last 10, regardless of where the game was played. So I'm banking on another murderous blowout. Vikings win 38-13 after late Lions scores prevent the shutout. Baltimore vs. Indianapolis. Indy is going to win this one. Doesn't matter that their secondary is decimated, or that Baltimore has an excellent run blocking scheme that might just put up 200 yards on the Colts without Sanders. Even though Baltimore is starting LeRon McClain, a back who barely has college speed. Seriously, this guy is painfully slow. Indy has a little bit of veteran magic that carries them through these kinds of games. Just look at what happened last week. They better win, because good teams don't lose their first three games in their brand-new taxpayer-bought stadium. Colts by 3 in a come-from-behind victory per usual as of late. Miami vs. Houston. If I felt I had an accurate gauge on the Texans' level of desperation, I could make a committed pick. Steve Slaton is quietly putting together a ROY campaign of his own, but the Dolphins are giving up around 80 rushing yards per game, roughly half of the average they gave up last year. Big difference. Does Houston make it a game? Sure, why not. The only team Miami has really torched this year is the Pats. Dolphins by 4. Carolina vs. Tampa Bay. These teams are just too evenly matched, I can't break either way convincingly. Do I take the Panthers' loss to Minny as a fluke? Do I give TB the benefit of the doubt for staying in every game they've played so far, losing two games by a combined 7 points? I'm going with Tampa, even if I hate backing a Griese-led team. If Carolina can pull this off, it will really mean something. Bucs win off of a field goal in overtime. Chicago vs. Atlanta. In it's own way, this is a statement game for both teams. Each has alternated looking deadly and dead out there in different games. I wish I knew how serious Roddy White's head injury is, because he is the key. Without him they load the box and sit on Turner's runs all game long. Even without an effective White the Bears will get to Ryan ease, they'l be bringing the corner blitz because their CB's are beaten up and can't stay with anyone deep right now. Which is where White comes in. I'm giving it to the Bears by a touchdown. Jacksonville vs. Denver. Eddie Royal and Brandon Marshall are the leading receiving duo in the league, but Cutler will be playing without his third leading receiver and safety valve, Tony Scheffler. Expect a lot of passing in a matchup between the 26th and 30th ranked passing defenses, but Del Rio will try to stuff the ball down the Broncos throat with the run if he can. Even if his offensive line is healthy, I'm not banking on the cohesion necessary. I found a reason to go with the Jags, and that is the turnover margin for the Broncos. It's -3, unbelievable for a 4-1 team. Opportunism is the heart of Jacksonville's team concept, and they will capitalize. Jaguars win a barn-burner 38-34. Green Bay vs. Seattle. Don't overthink this one, Lysol. Green Bay has lost three in a row, but a game against the Seahawks is just what the doctor ordered. Packers by 10. Philadelphia vs. San Francisco. This is the first game of the year I'm not picking the 49ers to win. There are several reasons why I believe this, but they're too depressing to get into in depth. Suffice to say that if I'm wrong, I'll be glad. And if the 49ers beat the Eagles? You know I'm going to be blowing up the Yard on Sunday, laughing it up as Philly fans begin preaching the End of Days. I'm not going with a score, just an Eagles win. Dallas vs. Arizona. I think I remember reading an article about how the Cardinals were requiring anyone who bought tickets for this game to purchase tickets for a preseason game as well, in a blatant attempt to eliminate the Cowboys long-standing home-field advantage in Glendale. In fact, I saw an article that referenced an 8-2 home record under Whisenhunt as evidence that Arizona now has a raucous home crowd to support it. Right. As much as I would love to see the implosion a loss would cause the Cowboys, I can't see it happening, no matter how badly the Cowboys secondary will get schooled come Sunday. Cowboys win this one 45-43 after Arizona fails to convert a two-point attempt to send it into overtime. New England vs. San Diego. This is sad. A game to decide which team has fallen further? And these teams hate each other, too, but the key participants in this heated rivalry are on IR or limping badly. L.T. is going to go out there with something to prove. Do the Chargers recognize any symbolism left in this game? Because they haven't been coming out very fired up so far this season. But I think a night game in San Diego gives a certain atmosphere that will allow them to step their game up. You know L.T. keeps a private jet at the airport! Step your game up! Chargers win by 9. New York Giants vs. Cleveland. I'm not even the slightest bit inclined to think Cleveland makes this a game. Giants by 34. When the B.W.B. fellas get their picks all together, I'll post them.
