NFL’s Best Bets for Week 6

NFL’s Best Bets for Week 6

In New York, Plaxico Burress was under mysterious duress, but says he has no regrets putting the team second when it comes to family. I’m sure his wife would be thrilled if he put his temper second when it comes to her. The NFL’s second neediest ego got his ring, but he doesn’t have his head on straight. Here’s a free piece of advice: STFU! Look for Plax to let his mitts do the talking, while his stiff arm does his anger management.

While over in Dallas, Terrell Owens has no problem giving “God the glory” as long as Tony Romo just gets him the damn ball. The league’s most ignorant superstar’s third person philosophy remains unchanged, and I paraphrase: “Getting Terrell Owens the ball is in the best interest of the team, if we wanna win games as much as Terrell Owens do.”

Executing a balanced offensive attack by using hard scrabble running backs Marion Barber and Felix Jones, is of little concern to Owens. Apparently fully exploiting the team’s offensive riches offends TO. I want to reiterate something I said earlier: STFU!

The NFL’s two best teams are on a collision course for NFC East bragging rights. Who will win their meeting in Week 9? I have my monopoly money on the Giants, if they can stay healthy and, playing at home, to win in a shootout.

Westbrook in Philly, Roethlisberger in Pittsburg, Edwards in Buffalo and Rogers in Green Bay are all either gimped-up, questionable, or day-to-day, making predictions a difficult task. But here goes my six best bets for Week 6 in the NFL:

1) Chicago over Atlanta- No the Falcons are not for real, and the hard hats of Chi-town will bring the pain and stuff their stockings with cole.

2) New Orleans over Oakland- It’s safe to say that the Raiders’ best 30 minutes of play will not prevail in a game that lasts 60.

3) Minnesota over Detroit- Purple People Eaters they’re not, but the Vikings will have a field day playing sack the quarterback.

4) Dallas over Arizona- Even if Kurt Warner throws for 500 yards and is sacked 9 times, he’ll look up from his back and see SCOREBOARD: 49-42 ‘Boys.

5) Washington over St. Louis- The Lambs are not allowed to phone this one in, but if they were, I’m sure they would-and no one would mind.

6) Miami over Houston- Parcels’ high-flying Fish wanna be contenders. With their twin backfield attack of Williams and Brown, and the always prudent Pennington at QB, they just might be this season’s spoilers. Just ask the Pats and Bolts who hit ‘em.
