Not a lot of games really jumping out at me here in Week 4. But here's a Pick 3:

Miami (-3.5) over Houston. A few pundits have tabbed Miami as a possible Super Bowl team this year. I think that's a lot of crazy talk. Daunte Culpepper is no longer an elite QB. But Ronnie Brown is Ronnie Red-hot right now and the Dolphin D will probably smother Houston.

Cleveland (-3) over Oakland. While slogging away on the exercise bike the other night trying not to gawk at the hot ass on the treadmill in front of me, the ESPN news guys were going on and on about how Oakland might be the last team to win a game this season. The Browns are still the Browns, but the Raiders are still the Raiders.

New England (+6) over Cincinnati. The Bengals are coming off a big win against the Steelers last weekend in what SI now calls the "toughest rivalry in the NFL." Unfortunately, we all know if you're on the cover of SI something bad is bound to happen the following week. I'll go ahead and say that the Pats win this one outright.

As for my fantasy team, Kevan Barlow is filling Shaun Alexander's shoes this week. We dumped off Marc Bulger for him straight up.
