Remind me not to pick against Denver at home.
The football universe is slowly returning to normal as the teams who are supposed to win are winning and the teams who are supposed to lose are losing. It's still a little odd to see the Packers at 0-3 and the Bengals at 3-0.
The results for this week are:
The Z 12-2 (85.71%)
HLD 11-3 (78.57%)
ch85us2001 10-4 (71.43%)
Gwalchmai 10-4 (71.43%)
Jwmblade 10-4 (71.43%)
Weasel 10-4 (71.43%)
Bloodstalker 9-5 (64.29%)
Tybaltus 9-5 (64.29%)
VoodooDali 5-9 (35.71%)
Also has anyone noticed that our fantasy league is being led buy the Heathens, a team that has made no roster moves and spanked the former #1 team in the league, even though they had a player in their lineup last week who was on a bye?
The overall standings are:
HLD 29-17 (63.04%)
ch85us2001 28-18 (60.87%)
Gwalchmai 27-19 (58.70%)
The Z 27-19 (58.70%)
Weasel 26-20 (56.25%)
Kipi 9-7 (56.25%)
Jwmblade 24-22 (52.17%)
Tybaltus 23-23 (50.00%)
Bloodstalker 20-26 (43.48%)
VoodooDali 5-9 (35.71%)
Next week's games are:
Buffalo at New Orleans
Denver at Jacksonville
Detroit at Tampa Bay
Houston at Cincinnati
Indianapolis at Tennessee
San Diego at New England
Seattle at Washington
St. Louis at N.Y. Giants
N.Y. Jets at Baltimore
Dallas at Oakland
Minnesota at Atlanta
Philadelphia at Kansas City
San Francisco at Arizona
Green Bay at Carolina
EDIT: Corrected Gwally's record for this week and in the overall standings.

Bills over Saints - Sorry NO, but Saints are no Cinderella team
Jaguars over Broncos - Broncos didn't win the game, KC killed themselves
Buccaneers over Lions - I don't see how Detroit could win
Bengals over Texans - Palmer will torch Houston
Colts over Titans - McNair won't be enough
Patriots over Chargers - Brady continues to amaze me
Redskins over Seahawks - Homefield advantage
Rams over Giants - Bulger and Holt > Manning and Burress
Ravens over Jets - Two QB problems, but one team has an all-star defence
Raiders over Cowboys - Homefield wins in a shootout
Falcons over Vikings - Minny's run defence is still questionable
Eagles over Chiefs - Philly's picking it up and the Chiefs D didn't look that solid
49ers over Cardinals - No Warner means big problems
Panthers over Packers - The Pack is a mess and I don't see Favre pulling any magic
Jaguars over Broncos - Broncos didn't win the game, KC killed themselves

Saints over Bills- I hate this game. Saints are an either or team when it comes to winning. One week they can beat anybody, the next they can't beat a college team. Coin flip every week.
Jags over broncos- Don't buy the Broncos. So they beat KC. They always beat KC...which makes it odd that so many of us got burned last week on that game
TB over Lions- I abandon the Lions.
Bengals over texans- I abandon them too,
Colts over Titans- Sooner or later, Manning is gonna break out.
Chargers over Pats- This pick will be my undoing this week. I forsee it.
Skins over Seahawks- Pure homer pick.
Rams over Giants- I just don't buy the Giants.
Ravens over Jets- Plain and simple, I pick Ravens because they are used to not having a QB.
Raiders over Cowboys- Moss factor. Moss has made it his mission in life to kill the Cowboys since he came into the league. His stats against Dallas are obscene.
Falcons over Vikings- Falcons will control the clock. And the Falcons D ain't the Saints D.
Philly over KC- This is the make or break week for KC defense after the debacle in Denver. I pick break.
Niners over Cards- Why not? Cards were the only team SF could beat last year.
Panthers over Packers- Favre is wishing he'd retired about now.

I can't believe all the road teams I'm picking this week.
I'd really like to be wrong about my Bengals/Jags pick, but it scares me to say that the undefeated Bengals may be playing the most consistant football of anyone in the league right now.
There are a couple of "somebeody's got to win" toss up games this week (Titans/Texans, Bears/Browns) and a couple of crapshoots (Fish/Bills, Seahawks/Packers) so it will be interesting to see how everyone does this week.
Also notice that I am picking Denver at home.
