NFL Week 6: The Couchletes Pick ‘Em

While Cam Newton may love him some him, we love us some FOOTBALL. It doesn’t get much better than football in the fall – the crisp, colder air, the smell of fire, pumpkin spice latte’s (which means we’re close to egg nog season!), seasonal beers (Kevin is frothing at the mouth) and baseball almost out of the way. It’s a great time of year.

Don’t get me wrong, I love baseball and my Oakland A’s, but the MLB is doing it wrong with scheduling whereas the NFL has really figured out how to dominated year-round, but I’ll save that for another post. Oh, and the NHL is practically done for the year. Well done, guys.

As we look back now on a very gutsy, inspired and Chuckstrong performance by the Indianapolis Colts led by RoY frontrunner Andrew Luck, yet another trouncing by the 49ers, and solid performances by the Texans and Falcons to remain unbeaten, it’s hard not to get misty-eyed at the thought of being more than a quarter of the way through the season. I think we all kind of smiled when the Jets lost again, though. Good job, good effort, guys.

Last week’s picks surfaced yet another champion, or should I say championS. Kevin, who is clearly trying to be me (the leading picker this season so far), tied me for the most correct picks with 10 out of 14. This week is shaping up to be a great one with a couple of our experts taking fliers on a few teams and others seemingly picking against the grain hoping to hit it big.

Will the pick risks be worth it? Will the Jets actually win a home game before they have to start Tebow over Sanchise? Only time will tell. Here are Week 6 picks.
