After the NFL's weekend of blowouts, things returned to normal among the SRM prognosticators. I was the only one with a losing record. Yes, that is normal. I'd like to thank Favre for his 14 points, for the wrong team. Thanks also to the Giants and Falcons for missing the bus to their stadiums. I couldn't have gone 2-3 without all your hard work.

The strong pimp hand of Chris Humpherys continues to rule. CH was 4-1, AGAIN! He's pulling away at 22-13 overall. Take it to Vegas, bro. Mike Roarty bounced back with a 3-2, and is now 16-19 on the year. Robert Elkhorn was a solid 3-2 also, and stands at 18-17 to date. I am 17-18 for the season.

I usually try to select the five most interesting games of the weekend for our picks. This weekend there were six that popped, so we're rolling with six this week.

Dolphins +3 at Jets

49ers + 12.5 at Colts

Broncos + 3.5 at Ravens

Giants +1 at Eagles

Vikings + 3.5 at Packers

Falcons +10 at Saints

Gene's picks......

Dolphin's grinding ground game grounds Jets. WTH? I'll take the Fins

Manning on cruise control. Colts roll.

Orton gets plastered on Saturday night, and Sunday afternoon, in Baltimore. Gimme the Ravens.

Do the Eagles even have one All-Pro? How do they do it every year? I'll take the Gents.

Cue Tom Petty's 'Freefalling'. Give me da Pack.

Brees due for a bad game? I'll take the Falcs.

Sanchez is too unpredictable...I'll take Miami.
Colts will win but 12.5 is too much to pass up...I can't believe I'm saying this but gimme the 9ers.
The Ravens have lost some tough games this year, a win against the undefeated Broncos could reignite their playoff hopes...Ravens at home.
I can't see NY losing three straight....Giants.
Favre in Lambeau is like PBNJ, they just go together...Vikes in a another close one.
The Saints are like a well oiled machine right now, the dirty birds get rolled. Gimme N.O. in this one.

Just call me the New Orleans Saints of SRM.... DREW BREEEEES!!! Since my Bucs stink, I've officially jumped on the Saints bandwagon. That town could use a title.

Ok, in keeping with my hot streak, here goes...

I think the Fish are still suffering from last week's loss at home. Rex Ryan will settle Sanchez back down, not have him do too much and the Jets will cover the three at home.

I know Las Vegas is trying to adjust their spreads between the good teams and the bad but the Niners, despite their QB controversy, aren't that bad. I'll take San Fran and the points.

The Broncos are brought down to earth on their visit into Baltimore as the Ravens cover the line and give the Bronc's their first blemish of the season.

Eagle-Giants, huh? Wow! I hate picking these games. I think I'll take the G-Men this week for no particular reason other than I think they're the better team.

I'm gonna waffle on this one. Only appropriate, right? Give me the Vikes and the points.

Ten points are too many to lay in division rivalries, particularly between the two best teams. Give me Atlanta plus the 10.
