Not a great week for me last week, not a bad week as well. As I am wrting this I am 8-5 with one game to play (Buffalo and Dallas)...I picked Dallas :) Time to move on a pick week six....

St. Louis -vs- Baltimore: Just when you though the Rams would break free and win one, well they lose and just when you think the Ravens could lose, they win.  The Ravens extend their win streak to 2 with the destruction of the Biggest Bust on Turf.

Minnesota -vs- Chicago: Minnesota is coming off a bye and Chicago (defense aside) played a great game against the once undefeated Packers. Now I should have seen this coming, The Pack have one offensive weapon (the passing game), the Viking have one offensive weapon (the running game). I am waiting to see Adrian Peterson run wild, he has shown potential. Vikes win a close game.

Miami -vs- Cleveland: Well we have a defeated team against the team that loves to play spoiler. Cleveland impressed me with scoring 17 points against the Pats, but then again you have to realize that this is the team that lost to Oakland....I can't back the Fish here, with the lose of Green (blessing in disguise?) Cleveland walks all over them.

Washington -vs- Green Bay: The Redskins impressed the hell out me last week, a very appropriate beating to let the Lions remember that they are the Lions. Green Bay has Favre and he is the best, but Campbell...hmmm...Redskins win a close battle.

Houston -vs-Jacksonville: With the lose of Trent Green Houston was just barely able to hold of the Miami surge...barely. The Jags handled KC (the team that beat up SD two weeks ago). I am not sold on Garrard quite yet though he display a great performance yesterday. I will go with the Jags picking up a close win.

Cincinnati -vs- Kansas City: This is probably the hardest game I will have to pick this week, I cannot think of any good reason to pick either team to win..I will pick off the records. KC wins.

Philadelphia -vs- NYJ: The Jets lost a battle to the Giants this weekend and the Eagles are getting off their bye after being destroyed by the Giants two weeks ago. I look for McNabb to rebound and pick up the slack. Eagles win.

Tennessee -vs- Tampa Bay: This is the game of the week. Vince Young vs Jeff Garcia. In  the end I think The Bucs after their lose will prevail over the Titans.

Carolina -vs- Arizona: Matt is gone for the foreseeable future which means the Cards future now lies on the shoulders of Kurt Warner, who has been playing better than Matt in recent weeks. The Panthers went through all of their quaterbacks last week. I look for Arizona to win this game, by how much...anyones guess.

New England -vs- Dallas: Whew....I guess I have to pick one...right. I will go with experience then, New Engalnd over Dallas, calm down Cowboy fans I would rather you win, but my gut tells me probably not. It will be a much closer game than the Pats have faced before and will expose weaknesses to both teams. This will be an education for the NFL. Take notes.

Oakland -vs- San Diego: San Diego is coming off their most impressive win of the season and the Raiders are coming off their bye. Chargers win.

New Orleans -vs- Seattle: The way the Seahawks offense played last week was horrible, never seen anything so horrific in my life, for a worn out defense they played well holding the Steelers to 21 points. The Saints can't seem to find their grove. I have to give the win to Seattle since it is at home even though as a Hawk fan I want to give it to the Saints for the Hawks embarrasing display on Sunday.

NYG -vs- Atlanta: Wow so this is what Monday night has come to....Giants will win a close game with the always reliable Joey Harrington :) giving the Giants are few scares.

Well folks that is Week Six. As always comments are appreciated and I love seeing a good conversation about why your team will win and why their team will not. These are my personal picks, I would prefer some games go the other way, as a true football fan my loyalties lie:

1. Seahawks

2. NFC WEST

3. NFC

Cool fact for fans, who is the only team to play in the AFC and NFC Championship games? The Seahawks.

Not a great week for me last week, not a bad week as well. As I am wrting this I am 8-5 with one game to play (Buffalo and Dallas)...I picked Dallas :) Time to move on a pick week six....

St. Louis -vs- Baltimore: Just when you though the Rams would break free and win one, well they lose and just when you think the Ravens could lose, they win. I do not see this game as being an upset, the Rams eventually will have to win one game...right??? The Ravens extend their win streak to 2 with the destruction of the Biggest Bust on Turf.

Minnesota -vs- Chicago: Minnesota is coming off a bye and Chicago (defense aside) played a great game against the once undefeated Packers. Now I should have seen this coming, The Pack have one offensive weapon (the passing game), the Viking have one offensive weapon (the running game). I pick Chicago to win this game. Their defense is beat up, but they can hold one scheme.

Miami -vs- Cleveland: Well we have a defeated team against the team that loves to play spoiler. Cleveland impressed me with scoring 17 points against the Pats, but then again you have to realize that this is the team that lost to Oakland....I can't back the Fish here, with the lose of Green (blessing in disguise?)

I am not sold on Garrard quite yet though he display a great performance yesterday. I will go with the Jags picking up a close win.

Cincinnati -vs- Kansas City: The Bengals needed a rest. I believe that they will run all over KC in their return. Too many offensive weapons.

Philadelphia -vs- NYJ: The Jets lost a battle to the Giants this weekend and the Eagles are getting off their bye after being destroyed by the Giants two weeks ago. I look for McNabb to rebound and pick up the slack. Eagles win.

Tennessee -vs- Tampa Bay: This is the game of the week. Vince Young vs Jeff Garcia. In  the end I think The Bucs after their lose will prevail over the Titans.

Time for my predictions for the remainder of the preseason and season for the Hawks

Preseason:

1. San Diego  (I would have predicted a loss, but hey we WON)

2. Green Bay (An ancient Brett Favre vs Matt, I am gonna go out on a limb and say WIN)

3. Vikings (Steve comes home, we will make a statement with a WIN)

4. Raiders (Are you kidding me.....I bet the starters dont even play and we WIN)

Preseason Record: 4-0

2007 Season:

Week One:  Tampa Bay visits Seattle: The Bucs have not really been a threat in years and I am going to say that their trip to the Northwest will not be satisfactory to them. Hawks will win this game and start the season 1-0

Week Two: Seattle heads to the Desert: Arizona has a whole new coaching staff (again) with definite offensive threats, however there are too many holes for Seattle not to find a way to come out on top of this cursed team. Seattle wins, up 2-0 for the season

Week Three: Bengals come to Seattle: This is their first contest since 2003 when Seattle lost to Cincinnati in Cincinnati. Carson was a rookie then and not seeing any playing time, unlike now. This will be a tough battle and I will have to go with the home team here. Seattle wins a close one 3-0

Week Four: Seattle heads to the Bay Area: A lot of people are picking San Fran to win the division this year, by week four we will know if they are contenders or pretenders. I think Seattle will have something to prove and will come up short this time around. Seattle loses a close one 3-1

Week Five: Seattle heads to the Steal City: In a rematch from the Super Bowl and Seattle will not forgot that. Seattle wins easlily. 4-1

Week Six: NOLA comes to Emerald City: This is going to be a battle. I am half tempted to give the Saints the win, but since it is being played in Seattle I will give Seattle a close win in the 4th or an OT win. 5-1

Week Seven: St. Louis come to Seattle: Ummmm.....St. Louis will lose this contest by a field goal in the closing seconds :)  6-1

Week Eight: BYE WEEK

Week Nine: Seattle travels to The Mistake By The Lake: The Browns are an NFL team? No threat and an easy win for the Hawks. 7-1

Week Ten: San Fran visits the Northwest: They may have one the first contest at home, but by this point Seattle will have a commanding lead in the division and will easliy win this contest and go up 8-1

Week Eleven: Bears visit the Hawks: Yes they beat us twice last year, but the second time was a fluke and neither was in Seattle. The noise will be so loud that Rex will make more mistakes than usual. 9-1

Week Twelve: Seahawks visits the Rams: Ummmm...another prediction Seahawks win on a last second field goal by Josh Brown. 10-1

Week Thirteen: Hawks go to the City of Brotherly Love: The last time the Hawks were in Philly we crushed them 42-0. I am not going to say we don that again, but we will prevail and walk out with a W 11-1

Week Fourteen: Arizona comes to Seattle: No way no how will they win this. 12-1

Week Fifteen: Seattle goes to Carolina: The Panthers will be in a playoff hunt and the Hawks will have won their divison by this time. Panthers will win this easily. 12-2

Week Sixteen: Ravens come to Seattle: Tough defense, but again they will have the divison locked up and will lose to the Ravens. 12-3

Week Seventeen: Seattle heads to Atlanta: We will face a Vickless team and win this regardless of the need. 13-3.

Final Record 13-3
