This week I picked 8 out of 13 correctly...there is very little in football more exciting than a goal line stand and the Bears defense held up against a late drive by Philadelphia...this Bears 1 game winning streak will become a 2 game winning streak next week in Detroit...so Brett Favre waited until he was a Jet to throw a career high 6 touchdown passes...he may have to do that every week if the Jets defense continues to give up a lot of points, like the 35 they allowed to a mediocre Arizona team...Tampa Bay kicker Matt Bryant kicked 3 field goals in the game against the Packers, only one day after the funeral of Bryant's infant son...I'm not sure how I feel about that, but if it helped him to deal with the grief, then God bless him.
