Zik's picks week 4
Season Record: 9-9
ML:
Arizona
The offense will click after a good performance in week 3 which was made bad by turnovers. The Vick show will need Dunn to have a huge game on the ground if they want to beat a prolific offense. New Orleans has demoralized the Falcons defense. Seriously Falcons, trade Vick and you'll be a superbowl contender. Send him to the Raiders for Moss. Do it.
Detroit
Detroit has simply looked good. They've looked good against good teams and they looked good against a bad team. The Rams didn't look all that great when they lost to the 49ers and their win against Arizona was handed to them by mr. Warner.
Seattle
Chicago is a defensive team whose offense probably won't show up most weeks although it did show early. The problem defensive teams have is that if their defense doesn't show up their done because their offense won't bail them out. I'm looking for Seattle, the balanced team, to pull out a close but sure win here.
Oakland
The Raiders have looked worse then terrible so far. In fact theres not a word which would accurately describe how bad these guys have played. That being said their playing a rather poor team in the Browns. The Raiders have had 2 weeks to prepare for this game. Although I do believe Art Shell is a blithering idiot, I think the players know that all is lost if they don't win this game. The Raiders offense will be allowed to open up against a poor pass rushing team here (The Brown's D-line is built to stop the run). Look for the vertical passing game that the raiders love so much in this one.
Minnesota
Brad Johnson is one of the most intelligent QBs in the league and also one of the most accurate, thats why he's still around. Smart passes and an above average defense should easily dispose of the Bills.

I don't even think I'd take them with the 7.
