Comments:

  • Another week of mostly agreement. Hopefully the unanimous picks will go a little better this week.

  • Barring a miracle (or another disaster) Seneca Wallace will be starting for the Packers on Sunday. He should do at least somewhat better with a week's worth of practice with the starters. But I think even under the best-case scenario, the Packers' defense will have to do a lot better than they did Monday night for them to have a chance.

  • The Giants defense has not allowed any points in their last two games (their special teams did give up a couple touchdowns). I think they're going to need to keep up that same pace if they want to extend their winning streak to 3 games.

  • Once again, the Cardinals are unanimously favored to beat a preseason favorite. The good news for the Texans is, if they manage to get an 18 point lead, it will probably stick this time.

  • Picking the Panthers to upset the 49ers is not so crazy. The 49ers have't faced much in the way of competition since getting upset week 3 by the Colts. The Panthers are another team that could be better than their reputation, and the 49ers could be looking ahead to their week 11 matchup at the Saints.
