Going by that listing, my winners are...

Indianapolis - Blowout. The Titans aren't that good.
Green Bay - Will be holding my breath with Favre...
Cincinnati - The Browns could be good...if you combine them with the Texans.
Carolina - The Texans might win 3 games this year.
New Orleans - Because I can...
Buffalo - It'll be close, but I think the Bills will pull this one out.
Jacksonville - It's a toss up between Harrington and Grossman for the award for the best thing for the other team's defense.
St. Louis - San Francisco isn't that good, no matter how well Gore plays.
Detroit - I've thought for years that the Lions have had the potential, but between Harrington, bad coaching, Harrington, injuries and Harrington, they haven't had much of chance. The Vikings aren't good offensively without Moss.
Seattle - Arizona has no line, on either side of the ball.
Miami - Just gotta feeling.
Kansas City - I predict Grossman throws 2 interceptions and fumbles 4 times...at half.
Baltimore - The Ravens defense will overcome the mediocre Jets offense.
Denver - the Raiders are another team you could combine with the Texans and the Browns to make an 8-8 or so team.
San Diego - LT will have a huge game after being shut out (basically, anyway) against Chicago.
Philadelphia - No way they'll take that loss against the Packers sitting down.

Regarding the link - I don't find that to be cheating, as I see it being the same as stealing the other team's signs in baseball, which I find to be sneaky, but perfectly valid. I doubt that the Jets won't change (most of) their signs by their next game against the Patriots, regardless of that news.

 

To make things easier:

IND @ TEN-
GB @ NYG-
CIN @ CLE-
HOU @ CAR-
NO @ TB-
BUF @ PIT-
ATL @ JAC-
SF @ STL-
MIN @ DET-
SEA @ ARI-
DAL @ MIA-
KC @ CHI-
NYJ @ BAL-
OAK @ DEN-
SD @ NE-
WAS @ PHI-

Mine:

IND @ TEN- Indy, I don't have enough faith in Young's arm for this
GB @ NYG- NYG... I REALLY HOPE Jared Lorenzon does something special
CIN @ CLE- Cincy, Cleveland is... a mess
HOU @ CAR- Houston... just to throw one out
NO @ TB- Nawlans... Tampa Bay is not good
BUF @ PIT- Buffalo, a couple errors from defeating a good Denver team
ATL @ JAC- Jac... I still like their runners
SF @ STL- It smells like a good day for San Fran
MIN @ DET- I'm a Kitna fan
SEA @ ARI- Seattle... I live in WA, lol
DAL @ MIA- Miami, they'll get more O this week
KC @ CHI- Chicago, you can't run versus them
NYJ @ BAL- NYJ... Kellen Clemons for gold!
OAK @ DEN- Oakland, rivalry games cause odd things
SD @ NE- New England, I hope I'm wrong
WAS @ PHI- Washington should get something going

 

Actually it is cheating...and was specifically condemned at the beginning of the season by the commissioner. I checked earlier and Goodell had reviewed the tapes and said that they were condemning and the he was considering punishment.. a forfeit was one the punishments in question.

 

I guess Goodell's warning last November about cameras stealing signals was directed mostly towards the Patriots. I'm glad that I don't like them, lol.

 

They are also talking about removing draft picks. This taints their "dynasty" significantly.

Makes the fact that the Pats or 14-0 in the second game against teams they have played twice in a season for the past 3 seasons much less remarkable as well.

Not too hot to start off, I don't mind a couple of the losses though Cleveland over Cincinnati was a nice loss for me, as was San Fran over St. Louis(I live in Missouri). Farve is looking sharp again this season, taking the record for most wins by a quarterback from Elway today. God help me for forgetting that Norv Turner was coaching SD =/

My rec this week:
IND @ TEN W
GB @ NYG W
CIN @ CLE L
HOU @ CAR L
NO @ TB L
BUF @ PIT W
ATL @ JAC W
SF @ STL L
MIN @ DET L
SEA @ ARI L
DAL @ MIA W
KC @ CHI W
NYJ @ BAL L
OAK @ DEN W
SD @ NE L

7-8 After Sunday
