Chicago @ San Francisco - The Bears suck. That's all I can say. Inquisitive Mind 1 - 0 for the week.
New Orleans @ St. Louis - I'm sorry, I thought this was going to be a blowout and the Rams made it a good game. They almost won. I'm not really worried about the Saints either since they played this game without 2 starters in their defensive backfield. Great effort Rams. Inquisitive Mind 2 - 0 for the week.
Tampa Bay @ Miami - Talk about making things close for no reason. The Bucs put up another valiant effort but the Dolphins snuck this one out. I mean literally snuck one out. Inquisitive Mind 3 - 0 for the week.
Detroit @ Minnesota - It took a while but the Vikings finally decided to take control of this game. Favre threw for 300+ yards while Rice, who should be thanking Favre because he's going to get him a FAT paycheck, and AP did work. The Vikings defense played a little better and they are still the favorites to represent the NFC in the Superbowl, sorry Saints. Inquisitive Mind 4 - 0 for the week.
Jacksonville @ New York Jets - What happened to the darlings of New York? The rookie quarterback looks average at best, the defense can't stop anyone, and all I can see is a coach who is promising a lot and has a lot of bravado. Losing this one really hurt the Jets. Inquisitive Mind 4 - 1 for the week.
Buffalo @ Tennessee - Part of me feels sorry for T.O. It's really not his fault and it seems as though many people, the media, are really egging him on to start problems. The Titans are really showing people, including head coach Jeff Fisher that Vince Young might be exactly what this team needed. As the owner of the team Bud Adams showed, if you're hating on the Titans, take that. Inquisitive Mind 5 - 1 for the week.
Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh - Wow!!! The Bengals have beaten the Steelers and the Ravens twice. Let that sink in for a while. Gotta give them their due. Cedric Benson got hurt and the Bengals go out and sign Larry Johnson. Maybe things are going to finally turn around in Ohio. Inquisitive Mind 5 - 2 for the week.
Denver @ Washington - Wow!!! The Broncos are in trouble. they have lost 3 in a row and now Kyle Orton is hurt and Chris Simms does not look like the answer. Are the Broncos imploding yet again? Someone should hire a skywriter, the Redskins won. Inquisitive Mind 5 - 3 for the week.
Atlanta @ Carolina - Jake Delhomme and Steve Smith finally caught up with each other. Add this to their running game and the Panthers should be ruling the NFC South, but for some reason they can't get it all together. What's going on in Atlanta? Inquisitive Mind 6 - 3 for the week.
Kansas City @ Oakland - Two bad teams and only one team can win. Inquisitive Mind 7 - 3 for the week.
Seattle @ Arizona - The Cardinals decided to play well at home. Nothing you can do when this team is clicking if you can't get to the quarterback. Warner threw for 365 and 2 TDs. Inquisitive Mind 7 - 4 for the week.
Dallas @ Green Bay - The Cowboys. Are you serious? You get the Packers who are struggling and you go and lay a goose egg. I mean you barely even scored. Roy Williams, stop bitchin and catch the damn ball. You want to be the man, just do it. Inquisitive Mind 7 - 5 for the week.
Philadelphia @ San Diego - Congrats to LT for the new baby on the way and congrats on finding the endzone, twice. This Chargers team seems to be catching fire at the right time since the Broncos are slipping, again. Inquisitive Mind 8 - 5 for the week.
New England @ Indianapolis - -------!!!!! I still can't believe they lost this game. I'm sorry, I have to say you punt in that situation. If you're on the 50 and you have that 4th and 2, then I can understand going for it. Bad call, but as the coach, Belicheat has to say it was the best thing for his team to win. Sends a terrible message to the defense too. Inquisitive Mind 8 - 6 for the week.
Baltimore @ Cleveland - Not a whole lot of offense in this game. This pretty much says it all. Brady Quinn was 13 of 31 for 99 yards, and 2 INTs. Inquisitive Mind 9 - 6 for the week.
That brings us to a whopping 93 - 51 for the season. Not bad, but a little behind the pros.

NFL Week 10 Wrap Up - Thursday Night Game
Chicago @ San Francisco - Wow!!! Are you for real? 5 INTS? I know that some of them weren't Cutler's fault, but you just can't throw 5 picks in a game. The Bears just looked terrible. Their offensive and defensive lines can't do their jobs, so you end up with Forte getting 40+ yards rushing but then 100+ receiving yards. The 49ers looked equally inept and they were just able to pull this one out. If you were lucky you could have watched Wade and LeBron battle each other in Miami. Inquisitive Mind 1 - 0 for the week.

NFL Week 11 Matchup
So we're a little above the half way mark with our picks, 92-53 for the year, and we're still in search of an undefeated week (making all the right picks). So here we go.
York Jets @ New England - Is this the week? This is the second time these teams meet and the Jets are coming off a blowout win. The Patriots are coming off a win against the Bills. I hate this game. It's a home game for the Patriots who are playing without Adaelus Thomas, and this defense is what's runs this team. I gotta go with the homer pick here and I've been waiting for a defining moment from this Jets team. Thursday night could be just that moment. Winner - Jets
Denver @ Atlanta - I keep thinking about the way Jay Cutler played last week and how he willed that team to a win (with a lot of help from the Browns). Can he do it again? I just doubt it. The Atlanta defense slowed/stopped the Saints offense last week and I think they can do the same against the Broncos. The Falcons keep moving along with a good ground game and steady play from their rookie QB. Winner - Falcons
Philadelphia @ Cincinnati - This would be a terrible game for the Eagles to lose, especially after playing the Giants so close last week. The Bengals make this a game, but I think the Eagles pull this one off. Looking for a big game from Westbrook. Winner - Eagles
Chicago @ Green Bay - Who's playing QB for the Bears? That's the biggest question. I am not a Rex Grossman fan and if he is in fact the starter, this game gets ugly quickly. Why do I have to make this pick so early in the week? I doubt that ankle is healed on Orton, and I know that he wants to play, but the Bears have to think about the rest of the season. With Grossman as your starter, those thoughts turn scary. Winner - Packers
Houston @ Indianapolis - This is the worst time for the Texans to come to Indy. The Colts played well and came from behind to win last week. I think they'll jump out in front and coast to a victory this week. More Manning. Winner - Colts
New Orleans @ Kansas City - Can this be an upset when both teams (not you Drew Brees) suck? This is a good game for (gulp) Tyler Thigpen to show that he can play in the NFL since he's going against the sorry Saints secondary. For the Saints, I'm not sure what to say. Drew Brees is just the best player on a bad team. He was en route to a Dan Marino record, right? Winner - Chiefs
Oakland @ Miami - Another game where both teams, well at least the Raiders suck. The Dolphins are transforming right in front of our eyes. I gotta roll the dice and go with the fish yet again, because they are playing at home and no one worth their salt loses to the Raiders. Winner - Dolphins
Baltimore @ New York Giants - This will be which team, well let me say defense imposes their will. Right now, I don't know which one is better. I love the Ravens and hate picking against them, but they are limited on offense and that explosion of points that they had last week will have them wishing they saved some for this week. Winner - Giants
Minnesota @ Tampa Bay - The Bucs sometimes have problems with the run because of their size up front, but they Vikings have to hope that all they'll need to do is run in order to beat the Bucs. This Vikings team can stop the run well, but they lack in the secondary. Will Jeff Garcia be able to navigate this mine field and pull his team to a victory? Winner - Bucs
Detroit @ Carolina - After an uninspiring win last week, the Panthers get game 2 of Daunte Culpepper's return. I expect much of the same results from week one of that experiment. Daunte will be able to produce next week. Winner - Panthers
St. Louis @ San Francisco - Such a close game on Monday night for the 49ers and then they get the game that should put them on the board with their new coach. These two teams are evenly matched, but if the 49ers come out with the same emotion that they did against the Cardinals, then I'm on board. Winner - 49ers
Arizona @ Seattle - The Cardinals almost gave the game away to the 49ers and this one won't be easy for them. I still think that the Cardinals have everything that they need, except consistency to be a team in the running for the playoffs. Hasselbeck gets his first start of the year at home, that could spell problems for the Cardinals. Still going with the birds on this one. Winner - Cardinals
San Diego @ Pittsburgh - I don't even know why I have problems with this game. As terrible as the Chargers have played this could go either way. Willie Parker is hurt for the Steelers and I have a bad suspicion that Big Ben is hurt too. I can NOT pick the Chargers, because they haven't played football all year long. And this would be the type of game that they would win. Winner - Steelers
Tennessee @ Jacksonville - Talk about a game. The Titans are already on spoiler alert. Who's going to beat them this year? I think the first team to 17 points wins this game. The good part is that it may take them the entire game to get to 17. The Jags are at home, and they are starting to look good,....I'm going to do it,....no I'm not,.....yes I am. Winner - Jaguars
Dallas @ Washington - Both teams playing possum here. With the NFC East looking more and more like a dog fight (apologies to PETA and Mr. Vick), I expect to see both Clinton Portis and Tony Romo out there this weekend. This is the definition of a big game as both teams have a lot to lose. Romo has got to come back and at least make TO a threat. Winner - Cowboys
Cleveland @ Buffalo - This game ought to be exciting because one of these teams has to win. That's about it. Marshawn Lynch hasn't run well for weeks now and his teammates haven't done anything to make me want to pick the Bills. The Browns looked good last week against the Broncos but due to Kellen Winslow, they lost that game (he was also the reason they were in that game, talk about a double edged sword). This will go to the last man standing and may not be pretty for the Bills. But nobody circles the wagons quite like them. Winner - Bills
York Jets @ New England - Is this the week? This is the second time these teams meet and the Jets are coming off a blowout win. The Patriots are coming off a win against the Bills. I hate this game. It's a home game for the Patriots who are playing without Adaelus Thomas, and this defense is what's runs this team.
