I’m a poet and I didn’t know it.  That rhymes: Preacher’s Picks, week six.  You see, after losing a couple of surprises in week five, I’m considering a new hobby—from prognosticator to poet.  Did the Browns really win?  I’m thinking it was a typo!

And while I’m whining, let me settle something with the BUK Power chap.  A few weeks ago he mistakenly (sure!) wrote that I beat him head to head by picking against the Bucs.  Let’s be clear—I’ve not picked against the Bucs this year.  Furthermore, as a true fan, I won’t be picking against the Bucs.  That, however, can not be said for Mr. U.K.  You see, it was so important to him to get a leg up on me that he did pick against the Bucs last week.  What this means is that I am essentially conceding a one game advantage to him every week—so when I beat him, it’s been like giving him a ten yard headstart.  I’m just sayin’...

So now, what to make of things this week?  How about Josh McDaniels fist-pumping good job of coaching so far?  Whodah thunk it?  Aa love fest breaking out between McDaniels and Brandon Marshall?  Kyle Orton leading his team to victory?  Kyle Orton?  They managed to look good even when they were dressed as human fudgecicles!  (Broncos’ throwbacks officially the worst I’ve seen to date.)  Anyone seen T.O. in Buffalo this past week?  I think he left town.  Not a word.  You have that pre-erruption feeling—not sure when it will happen, but you know it’ll be good when it does.  Keep the microphones on, boys!  Rush Limbaugh is out of the purchase of the Rams.  They’re making it sound like he was pressured out.  I’m guessing he actually saw the team play.  Certainly there is a semi-pro flag football team he can buy—that would beat the Rams.

In Tampa… whatever.  I’m anxiously awaiting the creamsicle uniforms.  We’re playing like throwbacks, we might as well look like them, too.  But, alas, I’m picking us to win this week!  Come on.  It’s the Panthers.  Their cheerleaders, now those chicks worry me.  But the Panthers?  Bucs by a field goal.  Oh wait…

Here are my fearless, and truly Buccaneer supporting picks for week six (the rhyming continues): Bengals over Texans; Packers over Lions; Jags over Rams; Vikings over Ravens; Saints over Giants; Steelers over Browns; Bucs over Panthers (see that my British friend?); Redskins over Chiefs; Eagles over Raiders; Seahawks over Cardinals; Patriots over Titans; Jets over Bills; Falcons over Bears; Chargers over Broncos.  Bye: Cowboys, Colts, 49ers & Dolphins.
