Quick Q: Is my 20 tiebreaker points a typo? I locked the Packers, Jets, and Patriots last week, so I assume that would be 30, unless I'm misunderstanding the rules.

Seattle Seahawks @ Pittsburgh Steelers LOCK
I honestly think the Seahawks are among the worst teams in the league this year. The Steelers should handle this one fine.

Oakland Raiders @ Buffalo Bills
Hard to believe I'm picking the Bills here, but I think they should be able to pass all over the Raiders. If the Bills are able to jump ahead... the game is all but theirs.

Arizona Cardinals @ Washington Redskins
I think the Redskins are actually the better team here.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Minnesota Vikings
One of the more difficult picks of the week. But I don't think McNabb will get much done.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ New York Jets LOCK
Revis still won't know who Jason Hill is after this game. And neither will most of the NFL

Chicago Bears @ New Orleans Saints
The Saints are a big test for the Bears. I'll give the advantage to the home team though.

Green Bay Packers @ Carolina Panthers
The Panthers are looking a lot better, but not quite enough to be the first team to beat the Packers this season.

Baltimore Ravens @ Tennessee Titans LOCK
The Ravens are looking to be one of the toughest teams in the NFL.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Detroit Lions
The Lions starting out 2-0? PREPOSTEROUS!

Cleveland Browns @ Indianapolis Colts
I don't like that I'm picking the Browns again. But without Manning... this could be a very long season for Colts fans.

Dallas Cowboys @ San Fransisco 49ers
I don't think the Cowboys can crash as spectacularly as they did last week. 49ers are one of the top contenders for the NFC West, but this game probably won't hurt the 9ers chances.

Cincinnatti Bengals @ Denver Broncos
When in doubt.. pick the home team.

San Diego Chargers @ New England Patriots
It'll probably end up being a close game, but I see the Patriots winning out.

Houston Texans @ Miami Dolphins
The Texans have practically been gifted the division. They won't mess up here.

Philadelphia Eagles @ Atlanta Falcons
Could go either way, but I think the Falcons are in for trouble in their own division.

St. Louis Rams @ New York Giants
This could go either way -- want to hear more about if Jackson will play or not though.

Yeah, I fixed that awesomest.

Great week for most already! Averaging 8-2!

Top 5 Consensus Picks:
1. Jets - 23:0
2. Ravens - 23:0 (LOL)
3. Giants - 23:0
4. Steelers - 22:1
5. Redskins; Packers; Lions - 22;1

Top 5 most contested picks;
1. Eagles / Falcons - 12:11
2. Buccs / Vikings - 9:14
3. Browns / Colts - 15:8
4. Bengals / Broncos - 6:17
5. Raiders / Bills - 4:18

Yeah, not a lot of differentiation this week.

Seahawks look to be one of the top contenders for Luck.
