BOONE'S BEST FOR NFL SUNDAY 10/29/06
The following opinions are intended for entertainment purposes only are in complete disregard to statistics, percentages, and any other unnecessary information that only cause to mislead, befuddle and plain old confuse the average hadicapper.........If and when you decide to agree with the writer with any monetary backing of these picks, please make sure to pay the rent first......Good Luck.
Eagles -7 1/2 vs. Jaguars
Eagles seething after that last second loss to Tampa Bay last weekend........Too bad for Jacksonville........As if it wasn't bad enough to come in and deal with the worst fans in the country, but to do it after their own road loss and without their starting QB against a team waiting to tear the lining out of their pants?..........It looks like these cats are in for another long afternoon.
Bengals -3 1/2 vs. Falcons
Bengals still trying to find themselves or at least any kind of consistency, but this is too good an opportunity to pass up.........Falcons have no run defense, and we should see a heavy dose of Rudi Johnson open up the passing game for Carson Palmer and company.......Michael Vick will spend most of the day running for his life........something he hasn't been very successful at on the road......Bengals to roll this run up.
Ravens +1 1/2 vs. Saints
Have had a good run of luck going with the Saints so far this year, but get the feeling here that they haven't faced the type of defense they're up against today.........Ravens cause mistakes and that's something the Saints haven't had to deal with lately........Ravens hungry after 2 tough losses, and I think we see what they are really made of today.......Contain Reggie Bush, make Drew Brees force passes, win another with defense........Ravens in a close one.
Broncos -2 1/2 vs. Colts
It's been snowing pretty good in Denver all week......It's bad enough for visiting teams to have to endure the altitude they are not accustomed to when coming to the Mile High City, but when you're up against the toughest defense in the NFL, it only makes it worse......Champ Bailey is superhuman .........Add to the fact that the Colts haven't been the same Colts (offensively anyway) as they've been in past years, and the fact that Peyton Manning's feet have been "happier" than ever, and we could be in for a lop-sided game here.........If it wasn't for Denver's inept offense, and Jake Plummer's knack for underachieving, I'd be "all in" on this one.......Also won't help the Colts to be playing without perennial All-Pro Mike Doss who got hurt last week and is out for the year.........Broncos make a statement here.
Cowboys +5 1/2 vs. Panthers
Very simply put, I don't think the Cowboys are as horrific a team as they indicated last week, nor do I think that the Panthers are that good..........At least they sure don't make anything look easy........Granted, the Panthers running game has looked better the last couple of weeks behind the determined running of DeShaun Foster, but Delhomme hasn't exactly looked like the QB from the Superbowl a couple of years back.........Steve Smith has definitely been the biggest factor since his return, but I see this game being more ball-control oriented, as opposed to a big-play type game..........Prepare to watch two running games going at it early, and this game being decided by a field-goal late..........Like Dallas to upset.
Would love to put San Diego as one of my picks, since I believe they will shred St. Louis to bits, but I can't gamble on any team coached by Marty Schottenheimer.........Good Luck to all BW players this weekend..................Boone.

through the entire game, and I still can't figure out if Champ Bailey suited up today for Denver........I must have been suffering from a World Series hangover when I made my picks...........No biggie, we'll get 'em next week.
