Again here at Mac talks NFL, we’re delighted to have a Guest Predictor. We’d hoped to get Lawrence last week, but he’s been on a Miami Road Trip (you can read about it at his blog). But he’s home now!

Graham and my NFL predictions will be up later. We’re a bit behind after being at Wembley Stadium last night. Over to Lawrence!

It’s a pleasure to cast my eye into what has become a rather murky and disturbing crystal ball for Week 6 NFL predictions.

I say disturbing because my team the Washington Redskins are being billed as the worst 2-3 team in NFL history, the Josh ‘Jacobs’ McDaniels led Denver Broncos are 5-0 behind a rookie rb and goddam Kyle Orton, and Brett Favre is looking like the Messiah behind a defense led by the guy I think will be NFL Defensive MVP (Jared Allen) and a running back that is pure class.

I run my own blog – www.nflfaninengland.wordpress.com – so to be recognised by another NFL fan as someone who can contribite to their site is a real honour.

Without further ado here goes with NFL Week 6 predictions;

Hou @ Cin – The Texans are full of studs but they still are finding it hard to gell, and all bets are off regarding them goung 8-8 AGAIN. The Bengals are one of about three or four teams that are playing well above expectation, behind Bears castoff running back Cedric Benson and the rebuilt body of Carson Palmer (btw is anyone else as pissed off as me when Nick Halling does that stupid West Country accent during Cincy highlights involving Carson???).
Ill take the Texans in this one 27-21 for no other reason than the size of Andre Johnson’s guns.

Det @ GB – Aaron Rodgers is turning into Dan Fouts without the splendid beard, as he looks to be on course for another 4,000+ yards passing in 2009. The orc headed Donald Driver continues to be the best under the radar WR since god – ahem Art Monk – and Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson are perfect complements to the air game. The Lions are still awful, but unlike the UK economy the green shoots of recovery have already sprouted with a win in Week 3. This is going to be ugly still as Rodgers tosses 3 or 4 tds in a 41-14 win for the Cheese headed people.

StL @ Jax – The Jaguars are like beach footwear….flip flopping from awesome to abysmal. Those people who put Maurice Jones-Drew at the top of their fantasy production tree will be cursing right now, but those who grabbed Mike Sims-Walker will have a wry grin somewhat mirroring Mona Lisa after a bucket of Baileys Hagen Daaz. The Rams are competing with the Browns as the ugliest team to watch in NFL history. St Louis fans must be crying into their beers thinking that a decade ago they were the best team in the world. Now they are the Greatest show of turd not the Greatest show on earth. Jags to crush the Rams 34-9

Bal @ Min – In terms of games this is as juicy as a Brazilian fizzy pop manufacturing plant, for those who have seen the latest Hulk film lets just hope Eric Banna is not working there on the bottling track. The Ravens will be madder than a lead sniffing hat manufacturer from Luton when they take to the field after the last minute Bengals win. The Vikes are going to be at home and Brett Favre is doing what I thought he would never do which is be a game manager. Ravens wrs are just not good enough to dominate so Minny go 6-0 with a 19-17 win.

NYG @ NOS – This is supposedly the game of the week but I have a funny feeling the Giants will pull off a huge win behind an inspired performance by Brandon the bulldozer Jacobs and Ahmad the eel Bradshaw. Drew Brees has had a week to relax and Mike Bell is back in the Saints backfield but the Giants D are starting to build up a head of steam, even without Steve Spagunola. Brees may go over 300 yards but he will not be interception or sack free, and I see him fumbling somwhere in the second half. Giants win in style 31-23.

Cle @ Pitt – Why am I even bothering to analys this game. Big Ben tolls and the Browns mice run down the clock hickory dickory dock. Steelers win 36-9.

Car @ Tam – Again this is not going to be a pretty game, but providing Jake Delhomme does not carry on his record setting pace with about half a dozen interceptions then Steve Smith should continue his league leading receptions count. I do have a soft spot for Caddilac Williams who has come back from the dead (well two new knees) and I hope he gets over 1,000 rushing yards this season. This should be a convincing Panthers win but I think it could become a weird turnover filled blooper festival. Tampa Bay with the upset 23-21.

KC @ Was – The first team in NFL history to play six consecutive teams who had a big fat ZERO wins at kickoff time and all the Redskins can manage is 2 pathetic wins, one against the toothless Rams and one lucky escape against the Buccs. I confess to being a Redskins fan, but even I am not stupid enough to think we are going to get out of this 2009 debacle with any more than 6 wins. Funny thing is I think one of these 6 wins will be against KC. Turns out Matt Cassell is not the next Tom Brady, he is more like the next Scott Mitchell (look his sorry ass up). Skins driblle across the finishing line with a 16-7 win.

Phi @ Oak – A rematch of Superbowl XV, but Ill eat one of my sweaty old baseball caps if the result is the same. The Eagles if you check my blog (www.nflfaninengland.wordpress.com) are my prediction to win the Superbowl in Miami next year. Oakland are unfortunately as ugly as Shane McGowan after 10 litres of White Lightning. The Eagles – who DO NOT need Michael Vick – are the mutts nuts (hahahahahahah) and will continue to put up some big scores. Having Jeremy Maclin break out after five weeks is just one more sign that points to glory in Philly. Eagles to pluck out the salty eyeballs of the Raiders 37-13.

Ari @ Sea – This is gonna be a battle for sure, and one I would like to watch in person. The Cardinals are still clinging onto that mystique that got them within a minute of a Vince Lombardi trophy. The Seahawks showed last week that when Matt Hasslebeck is at the wheel and the grim British weather is in the air then W’s will start swooping in. The Seahawks at home are just too hot to handle, even for the pass happy Cardinals. Ill give the Seahawks this one 27-24 purely because I cant spell Houshmanndndnazadddaehhh.

Ten @ NE – It has officialy gone, the Brady mystique has been extingusihed by none other than former Purdue Boilermaker Kyle Orton and a guy called Knowshon. Tennessee may bring in Vince Young a lot earlier than they did against a dominant Colts side but I fear it will not make the desired difference. Brady will look to use his sneaky weapons, the likes of Kevin Faulk and Ben Watson, and then wait till the Titans d is tired before unleashing a Moss missile. Pats to get back in the race with a 27-17 win against the best 0-6 team ever.

Buff @ NYJ – Having seen the Bills live just 10 days ago I can officially say they do stink as bad as you would have read in papers or on websites. Trent Edwards is as motivational as David Brent on anti-depressants performing a Radiohead medley during a health and safety briefing. The Jets on the other hand are still sniffing the rarified air of playoff potential, and Mark ‘pretty boy’ Sanchez will look to get another big W in the J-E-T-S record books. Marshawn Lynch is starting to gain some meomentum and could get around 150 total yards, but it simply wont be enough as Braylod Edwards gets another Kelly green TD in a 28-10 Big Apple win.

Chi @ Atl – Boy did the Falcons look good last sunday on Sky. They pulverised the 49ers and still had plenty left in the Clean Bird tank. The jury is still out on da Bearz, who could still get a wild card berth by the time the snow is falling thick and fast in Illinois. This is going to be a blast for any neutral fan as Jay Cutler will come out slinging the ball and the Falcons will come out looking to make Michael Turner look like an all pro. The Bears have the potential to win this game, but with Urlacher out Ill give the Falcons a 26-20 win.
At least this game will be broadcast here in the UK and we get the pleasure of Mike Carlson’s anaylsis (even if I do ffwd him a lot when I watch the game Monday evening on Sky+ before Eastenders starts at 8.00pm).

Den @ SD – MNF, oh shit I forgot that the NFL play football on a Monday, after all Alistair Kirkwood and his cronies failed to secure MNF in the UK, unlike the jolly citizens of Kaczakstan who can enjoy NFL football live in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. The big question of the week is can Denver go 6-0? Ill put my unshaven neck on the line and say….NO they wont. It simply makes sense for a divisional rival to spoil the party, as Philip Rivers and pocket dynamo Darren Sproles show why they have big fat bank balances. Look for Kyle Orton to get smacked about somewhat as the Chargers win 34-19.
