Tyrod Taylor to miss several weeks with ankle and MCL sprain. EJ Manuel to start in Buffalo. Might want to re-think that.

I think Rodgers is pissed and will take it out on the Chargers secondary

I like it, but you do realize PIT needed a pick 6 to score 24 on SD?

According to ESPN, Roethlisberger is not on injured list vs ARI.

Yeah, but he ain't playing this week...according to what I've been reading...started light jogging at practice last week...can plant lightly and throw, so I'm thinking KC at the earliest, but expecting CIN week 8

Even with Roethlisberger, I don't see Pit putting up 38 points on AZ. The most they have given up all season is 24 in the Rams loss. And that's with gifting them 7 points after fumbling the open kickoff & Fitz fumbling later in the game.

The Cards defense thrives off of turnovers. If Pit can keep from turning the ball over, it should be a good game.

But seriously, I don't see Roethlisberger hitting the field till week 7 or 8.

Thanks Iowa,

Overall: 47-30 (.6103) with 27 close predictions

Week 1: 10-6 (.6250) with 8 close predictions
Week 2: 7-9 (.4375) with 5 close predictions
Week 3: 12-4 (.7500) with 4 close predictions
Week 4: 9-6 (.6000) with 7 close predictions
Week 5: 9-5 (.6429) with 3 close predictions

Hard to hit 70%.

Week 6

ATL 27 at NO 23...more heated/hated than people realize...better team is in ATL this yr,
WAS 20 at NYJ 24...Skins D (front7) is pretty good too, don't like Cousins vs that secondary
AZ 23 at PIT 24...I'm not feeling this pick just can't put a bad mojo on the boys
KC 24 at MIN 27...When you think KC is dead they will play well, but Teddy likes playing at home
CIN 20 at BUF 21...Maybe no Taylor for BUF, but I smell a let down for the Bengals
CHI 21 at DET 24...It's time...no 0-16 teams this yr
DEN 20 at CLE 23...Just a hunch
HOU 22 at JAX 26...Home team pick, actually JAX played well last week in TB
MIA 20 at TN 26...Fins could end up with the #1 overall pick
CAR 26 at SEA 30...Two good DEF, but Hawks D gets turnover or two
SD 24 at GB 34...Pack at home is a lock
BAL 20 at SF 26...Kap found something on the road LY, he keeps it going
NE 28 at IND 23...this smells like a blowout, but I think the Colts close the gap late
NYG 23 at PHI 24...home team pick, but Eli on the road is dangerous. G-men playing better lately

More than 2 road teams are going to win but I like my picks.

ATL96Steeler you just don't believe in the Broncos much this year do you? Picked them to lose against the Raiders last week. I don't blame you as the offense has looked terrible but a bit surprised you picked them 2 weeks in a row to lose to teams that have been picking top-10 almost every year.

No offense, but I don't... largely because I don't trust the OFC as much and I think you can run on DEN, but so far teams have not really stuck with it. ...of course I think they are better than OAL and CLE...the last two weeks have been hunch picks more than anything...as we saw, the Raider game was really a game late...if they knew how to finish, OAK would be 4-1.

Not sure how you see that teams can run on this defense? They are 6th in yards per carry and 5th in yards per game on the ground. Jamaal Charles is the only guy that has had decent success running against the Broncos. AP had one long run otherwise he was held to 2 yards per carry the entire game. Anyway I appreciate you responding and yeah not sure I trust this offense either. They have shown some glimpses but turnovers have killed a lot of momentum in these games and kept them close. Manning has to stop throwing picks. His picks have been 10-14 point momentum swinging type plays in many of our games and kept us from blowing some of these teams out.

I get what you're saying about the per yd rush avg. etc. being padded by a long run, but in 4 games teams are probably rushing 18-20 times against DEN...just looking at the bigs upfront on the DL...it's a sack based DEF...i.e....they want to get after the QB...I would attack those guys more than 20 times a game to make them think about stopping the rush.

I think that is a misconception though about the Broncos. Malik Jackson is the 3rd rated run stopping DE in the NFL right now. They also just got back from suspension the guy that finished 4th last year in Derek Wolfe. Brandon Marshall has graded as a top-2 ILB at stopping the run. This is why teams have just given up running the football even though the games are close in they are not finding any kind of success. It is why even though Minnesota has AP on the team they just stopped handing the ball off to him as they found a little more success in the passing game than in the run game.

Well, you see all of them and I've only seen DEN twice this yr...obviously DEN plays PIT this year, and assuming we're not getting our doors blown off early I'm curious to see how Haley decides to attack the Broncos. Bell and Williams should get 30 touches in that one. The thought of Ben throwing it 40 times vs those OLBs is not comforting.
