Where did the Broncos' luck go? The Broncos took their first loss Sunday while visiting the Baltimore Ravens. Was it jet lag that did them in?

The Ravens built a 6-0 lead at halftime and a 95-yard kickoff return by Lardarius Webb to open the second half put the Broncos in a 13-0 hole. Knowshon Moreno put 6 on the board for Denver, but it was all Purple and Black after that. The final score was 30-7 in favor of the Ravens.

Denver, 6-1 overall and 3-0 at home, returns to Mile High country on Monday Night Football this week as they face the Steelers. I think the Broncos will return to their winning ways as they trample the Black and Gold 24-14.

West Coast teams always have a tough time coming east. East coasters going west don't have as many problems. But, this prediction should make up for the Steelers beating the Chargers in that Sunday night game several weeks ago. Help me out Broncos!

Fantasy Hot picks for Week 9

The Eagles' rookie LeSean McCoy had a great game against the Giants. He was running over and around them for a touchdown in the 4th quarter of the Eagles' 40-17 win. McCoy rushed for 82 yards on 11 carries and added 10 yards on 2 catches. Look for McCoy to continue "flying high" this week as the Cowboys come to town.

The 49ers' Frank Gore just came off the injured list a week or two ago. He is already back in top form, splitting the Colts' defense for 91 yards on 13 carries and a 64 yard touchdown jaunt in the first quarter. Gore also had 5 catches for 43 yards in the 18-14 loss. With Gore running well, Alex Smith back under the center and Michael Crabtree running down passes, the Niners can certainly make some noise in the NFC West with Tennessee coming to town this week.

My super sleeper of the week is Vincent Jackson of the San Diego Chargers. Jackson has been up and down, but is hot right now. He had 8 catches for 103 yards on Sunday versus the Raiders, including an 8 yard strike from Philip Rivers. He will have to have another big game as the Chargers head to NYC to tangle with the Giants.

Have you set your line-up yet?

OH When the Saints Come Marching In......

Yes, that's right. I pick the Saints over the Giants. Both teams are undefeated but it is time for New Orleans to step up in a big game. I think the score will be 24 to 21. Drew Brees will be the game changer. Brees has been very consistent over the first five weeks. He leads the league in passing yardage and touchdowns. Look for him to lead the Saints to victory.

Who will win?! What's your prediction?!

Fantasy Hot picks for Week 6

Rashard Mendenhall, Pittsburgh Steelers

Mendenhall has put together two solid efforts for the Steelers with Willie Parker out. He is running well behind the offensive line of Pittsburgh. Plus, this week is a rivalry game with the Browns.

Wes Welker, New England Patriots

Welker is back in action and looking good. I have confidence that Tom Brady will look for Wes more this week. He should put up big numbers.

Baltimore Ravens Defense

The Ravens had a tough game against Cincinnati last week. They held the Bengals until late in the game before giving up the game-winning touchdown. I really think they will be able to keep Adrian Peterson and the Vikings in check this Sunday.

Make your fantasy picks now!

Will the Bengals Deliver a 24-21 Loss to the Ravens???

Hi to all you NFL Rushers. I had a great time at the Steelers/Chargers game on Sunday night. I'm sorry to all the Steeler fans I was wrong. But, the Chargers put up a good fight in the second half by scoring 28 points. We'll get the Steelers next time!

My prediction of the week is the Bengals defeating the Baltimore Ravens by a 24-21 score. Cedric Benson and Chad Ochocincho will help Carson Palmer cruise past the Ray Lewis-led Raven D. Whoever wins will be leading the AFC North.

My hot picks are good ones this week. We start with Peyton Manning at quarterback. He has led the Colts to an undefeated 4-0 mark this season. Manning has completed 97 of 137 passes for over 1,300 yards and nine touchdowns. He will keep that pace up against the Titans this week.

Wes Welker is due back on the field for the Patriots this week. He has been out for the last couple of games with an injury. Look out Denver! Welker and Tom Brady will be connecting all game long.

After watching Rashard Mendenhall of the Steelers last week, I think he will have another great game. Mendenhall rushed for over 150 yards against the Chargers and I think he will do even better against the Lions on Sunday.
