   Hey Bill,
   I think you’re right on with your pix except Washington should make a game of it…Vince Young is the most overrated QB in the league and he might not even play. As a Pats fan i’m a little anxious to play against the J-ville running game…and i get a whole lotta satisfaction out of beating up on the steelers.

   I agree with Jim. The Redskins should have a pretty good game. I think that with all of the momentum they have, it is hard for me to believe they’ll lose by 15. I also think that the Pittsburgh-Jacksonville will be a little bit closer. Maybe around 31-23. I think that Pitt is taking a better aproach to the game. They have the game that they lost on all week. Jacksonville is the better team but I don’t think Pitt will give up that easily. I just want to see who will play the Pats next week.

   Good pick on Washington-Seattle. The Jacksonville game was closer than a lot of people expected it to be. The good Eli Manning showed up for the game on Sunday and he lead the Giants to a win over Tampa Bay. I didn’t hink that he could do it but he showed that he can play well under presure and I am glad that he did. I can’t wait for the Titans-Chargers game because the game will tell us who the Pats play next week.

   Bring on Jville!!! put 8 in the box and make their passing game beat us. Which will not happen. They are pretty one dimensional on offense and no one better at shutting down what teams do best than master Bill.

   As long as the Pats shut down the Jags running game I think that they are in very good shape.
