NFL - Week 4

Did not make my picks this week but a few thoughts:

HUGE win on the road for Redskins. I knocked this team after their Week 1 disgrace but they have bounced back nicely and have turned it on offensively. Dallas' secondary got beat several times yesterday and Romo threw another bad interception.

I know they played the Rams but after trailing 14-6, the Bills just turned on the jets and won in a rout to improve to 4-0 for the first time since the early 90's.

Speaking of Jets, before the season I predicted they would be 1-2 going into yesterday's game and it would be a must win game for them going into the bye week. Not only did the Jets win but Favre showed signs of brilliance throwing 6 TD passes. More importantly, if he shows he can do that the team will rally around him. The schedule after the bye week gets very light and it looks bright for the Jets.

4-0 for the Titans who own the best defense in the league. Kerry Collins is a big improvement over Young and Chris Johnson is a stud rookie (rookie of the year?)

The 3-1 (should be 1-3) Broncos have a horrible defense and allowed 33 points to the lowly Chiefs (and 198 yards on the ground to Larry Johnson). The Broncos offense is dangerous with Marshall but they don't have a running game and the defense flat out stinks. They were lucky to beat the Chargers and Saints and deserve to be 1-3.

Drew Brees is going to throw for 4,500 (maybe 5,000 yards) and be the league MVP.

Welcome back to earth Aaron Rodgers. The GB offensively line didn't help out as Rodgers was pressured all day long. The defense didn't help him either.

Big game tonight for Baltimore. With all the injuries to the Steelers i think Baltimore can win even though they rarely do in Pittsburgh.
