Just received my wife's predictions for Week 6, moments after filing my own for the Friday paper (along with power rankings and five things to watch). We're coming off strong weeks (13-1 for me, 11-3 for her) but this week is looking like more of a challenge. We disagreed on three games (shaded at right). My Carolina pick was based more on a hunch and Steve McNair's struggles than anything. It's not a pick I feel particularly good about, but you can't take the favorites every time. We both went with Seattle, a bit of a surprise. Are we giving the Seahawks a little too much credit for past performances, while overlooking how poorly they've played on the road this season? It's possible. But after going with the Bears last week, my thought was that Seattle would prove to be a better team this time.
