Last week, my pick of Tennessee almost turned out to be a mistake, as they had plenty of problems with Atlanta. Being a younger team, apparently the bye was of no use to Tennessee.

This week, I'm taking Seattle to defeat New Orleans and send them to 0-5. There aren't a lot of sure picks on the schedule this week. But I like Seattle at home, coming off a 21-0 defeat to Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. Although New Orleans is due for a win, I'm not sure that having to wait until 10:15 New Orleans time to play is going to help them out. And with the game being late at night, the loud Seattle fans may be fueled a little more than usual. Seattle it is.
