This week in sports: The Chargers are favored?

The Chargers are 2-4 and are dangerously close to being classified as a bad team. At the very least, they are below average. The Patriots are 4-1 and look like one of the best teams in the league (you know, if you only look at offense) and the Chargers are favored? But as I announced before, I am taking the Chargers every time. Because I'm the good kind of homer. I'm dedicated, optimistic and blinded. Here's a quick recap around the league...hell, because it's late on Friday, for a few of these games, I'll just give my pick and the predictions.

Cincinnati @ Atlanta (-3.5): Why should I think the Bengals can win? Falcons it is.
Not so bold prediction: Michael Turner rushes for 100 yards.
Bold prediction: Chad Ochocinco or Terrell Owens will have more receiving yards than Roddy White.

Washington @ Chicago (-3): I'm taking the Redskins and the points.
Not so bold prediction: Matt Forte has more total yards than Ryan Torain.
Bold prediction: Matt Forte has more receiving yards than every Redskin except Santana Moss.

Philadelphia @ Tennessee (-3): I'm taking the Eagles and the points.
Not so bold prediction: Chris Johnson runs for over 100 yards.
Bold prediction: Kevin Kolb throws for 100 more yards than Kerry Collins (That's a lot!)

Jacksonville @ Kansas City (OFF): Yahoo! makes this a PICK, but USA Today puts KC as a 9 or 10 point favorite. I'll take KC to win outright, but Jacksonville to cover 10 points.
Not so bold prediction: I'm going to switch this up and make two bold predictions for this game, so Bold prediction #1: No one gets over 100 yards rushing or receiving.
Bold prediction #2: Jamaal Charles rushes for more yards than Maurice Jones-Drew

Pittsburgh (-3) @ Miami: I think Ben Roethlisberger continues to throw touchdowns to make everyone (teammates and fans) like him.
Not so bold prediction: Brandon Marshall leads the game in receiving yards.
Bold prediction: If I could get decent odds (say 8-1 or better) I'll say Pittsburgh wins by exactly three points and this is a push.

Cleveland @ New Orleans (-13): After beating Tampa Bay handily they finally looked like a really good team. I want to see them do it again before I lay 13 points.
Not so bold prediction: Drew Brees leads the game in passing yards.
Bold prediction: Peyton Hillis leads the game in rushing yards.

St. Louis @ Tampa Bay (-3): I'm taking the Rams and the points.
Not so bold prediction: Steven Jackson leads both teams in rushing yards.
Bold prediction: There is a defensive touchdown or a special teams touchdown or fumble.

San Francisco (-3) @ Carolina: Finally it makes sense that the 49ers are favored. I mean, it's against winless Carolina, but they got there. Still...with a West coast team flying East* playing early I'll take the Panthers and the points.
Not so bold prediction: Neither QB gets 300 yards passing.
Bold prediction: Neither QB gets 200 yards passing.

Buffalo @ Baltimore (-13): Buffalo looks all kinds of bad. And it's not like I think the Ravens will win 17-3...their defense isn't exactly as dominant as it has been in the past. But I do think Ray Rice has a great day and they win 31-17 or so.
Not so bold prediction: Ray Rice leads the game in rushing plus receiving yards.
Bold prediction: Ray Rice has more rushing plus receiving yards than the TWO best Bills.

Arizona @ Seattle (-5.5): Seattle's defense is sneaky above average. Arizona is not so sneakily really, really bad. I'll go ahead and take the home team in this one.
Not so bold prediction: Larry Fitzgerald leads the game in catches.
Bold prediction: Max Hall throws for more yards than Matt Hasselbeck.

Oakland @ Denver (-8); It's not that I think the Raiders are actually dependable in the slightest. Just that I don't think the Broncos are any more dependable and in situations like this, I'll take the lots of points over the laying more than a touchdown.
Not so bold prediction: Kyle Orton leads the game in passing yards.
Bold prediction: There is a touchdown of over 50 yards in this game.

Minnesota @ Green Bay (-3): This game will be so annoyingly hyped with Brett Favre and Green Bay. For the first time in my life I might actually mute the game. My wife even understands that Brett Favre is annoying...but I'll still take the Vikings ant the points.
Not so bold prediction: Adrian Peterson leads the game in rushing.
Bold prediction: Brett Favre has at least two turnovers.

New York Giants @ Dallas (-3): In the "how the hell are they favored" category I am choosing "I will gladly take the points for an underdog I think will win outright."
Not so bold prediction: Ahmad Bradshaw leads the game in rushing.
Bold prediction: There are 6 guys who will score at least 12 fantasy points.(Yes, I lowered it a little bit.)

AND....TIME!!! How did I do?

YES...it's a new PR!!
