Sportaphile’s NFL know-it-alls were thrown a few curves in this week’s action. Here’s how the picks turned out in Week 6:

CHI-20 @ ATL-22

Chuck: I blame this loss entirely on the special teams coach, who decided to put his testicles in a drawer and squib kick instead of kicking the ball deep with 10 seconds left Loss

Risse: This was a damn good game, just as predicted. And I really had no clue that it would literally come down to the last :10 seconds. What a National Funny League it was in Week 6!! (Loss)

MIA-28 @ HOU-29

Chuck: Houston may have got that BS win… but they didn’t stop the wildcat, because I recall Ronnie Brown flipping the ball to Chad Pennington on a reverse for a 60 yard TD strike. Miami still got defenses confuzzled. (Loss)

Risse: Whatever you need to do to make yourself feel better, Chuck, go right ahead. The Wildcat is deceased in my mind! I never ever thought this game would be as melodramatic as it was. All that mattered in the end is that ya girl called it for her team and my Texans got a win in a dramatic fashion. I couldn’t even witness the entirety of the final series as it was just too rich for my blood but I did sneak-a-peak as Matt Schaub called his own number and saved the day for the Texans. Yee-haw! All I have to say is: HI HATERS! The Texans are sitting on 1-4 and will accumulate four wins going into November. Don’t even trip. (Win)

BAL-3 @ IND-31

Chuck: Never in a million years would I have predicted Indianapolis would manhandle the Ravens defense in this manner. If Peyton plays like this for the rest of the year, they could really challenge the Titans and Jags for the AFC South title (the Houston Texans have no chance, they’re just wasting a division spot). (loss)

Risse: Peyton and company had the last laugh…..and it was a monstrous one at that. I hate it, especially in my AFC South. And I simply refuse to take the bait on Chuck’s Texans hate. (Loss)

DET-20 @ MIN-22

Chuck: Did you see Detroit’s doofus quarterback run out of the back of the endzone for no reason at all? That pretty much sums up their season. (win)

Risse: I did see that QB do that! This game was more competitive than I ever imagined. But Detroit wasn’t able to handle the Purple passion down the stretch and remain winless rolling into Week 7. That’s not a good look, especially as my crew in Minny Napolis is partying as I type…(Win)

OAK-3 @ NO-34

Chuck: Oakland’s offense hasn’t looked this bad since the opening weekend when Denver blew them out of the water. Can we get Lane Kiffin back now? (win)

Risse: I vowed last week to lighten up on the Raiders but with games like this they are making it hard out here for a pimp like the Hustle and Flow movie. I don’t think the Raiders can win under these present circumstances and I will continue betting against them in the meantime. (Win)

CIN @ NYJ

Chuck: I bet TJ and Chad can’t WAIT to get out of town… Cincy is done. They’re the only winless team in the league aside from the Detroit Lions and are showing no signs of improvement. Side Note.. whatever happened to Chad Johnson’s legal battle concerning his new last name? Did his laywers completely take it up the butt from Reebok? (win)

Risse: It’s really getting nervous for the job security of my guy, Coach Marvin Lewis. I hope he doesn’t get fired, but with each passing week, it pushes closer to ‘uncertainty.’ And that, like the Bengals, just sucks. (Win)

CAR-3 @ TB-27

Chuck: Like I’ve mentioned COUNTLESS times… Tampa Bay will screw you every chance they get, this team is ENTIRELY impossible to predict. They dont know who they are. (loss)

Risse: My mom would say that this would classify as a case of me speaking with such great authority. I clearly was dead-ass wrong on this one. Who knew? (Loss)

STL-19 @ WAS-17

Chuck: Just when the Washington Redskins were looking like one of the best teams in the NFL….they go and lose to one of THE WORST teams in existence. I’d be so heartbroken as a skins fan. You cant afford to blow games like this in the NFC East. (loss)

Risse: Clinton Portis did in fact rough it off, but the Redskins managed to cough it up to the lowly-ass Rams. What a Week #6 in the NFL! And to think, this loss actually came at home for the ‘Skins? Stop joshing!! (Loss)

JAC-24@ DEN-17

Chuck: Jacksonville matches up with Denver well, and when Maurice Jones Drew gets going…. its trouble for everyone. (win)

Risse: That earthquake thing that I wrote about clearly threw me off the other day as I was making this pick. I am actually happy that David Garrard trumped the boy wonder Jay Cutler and his Broncos, no matter what it did to my points. (Loss)

DAL-24 @ ARI-30 (OT)

Chuck: Well… I DID say that I wouldn’t be surprised if Dallas lost. Arizona’s offense is too potent right now… The Cardinals are like a retarded kid that doesn’t know his own strength. (loss)

Risse: Larry Fitzgerald, I AM a believer, baby! Romo, you are who I thought you were: wackage! And Steve Breaston saved my Fantasy showings. Like Ice Cube, today was a good day. (Win)

PHI-40 @ SF-26

Chuck: My prediction of a Niner win was actually going to come true……until J.T. Sullivan started looking like a journeyman quarterback who doesn’t know how to handle pressure… (loss)

Risse: The 49ers actually had a chance in this game. Well, you know, until they turned back into the team I knew them to be. (Win)

GB-27 @ SEA-17

Chuck: I flipped the remote in the air and left it up to god. He didnt let me down. (Win)

Risse: Everytime I think of Seattle, I have visions of my brother Pap. And, sadly, they both have a problem with winning. And they both seemingly prove me right every single time. (Win)

NE-10 @ SD-30

Chuck: It’s safe to say the Patriots aren’t really going anywhere with Matt Cassell. He can’t even throw a proper deep ball to Randy Moss. The AFC East is now WIDE OPEN… I wouldn’t dare predict who’s goin to win it. (win)

Risse: The Chargers got their self-esteem back in tact after whooping up on the Pats. No telling how many yards Randy Moss is willing to blow this season, but it seems like more than the Raiders are willing to catch. Just my take.. (Win)

Chuck: (6-7) / (4.5 overall points)

Risse : (8-5) / (6.5 overall points)
