Thanks Nate! I'm still busy scooping poop outta my Hanes ComfortSoft® boxer-briefs one week after your post on how great I was doing with my picks so far this season. Without any further Shadrow jinxin', I'm ready to redeem myself... I hope.
Last Week's Picks: 8/5
Season Record: 79/37
Early Sunday Games:
Falcons* (4-3) over Redskins (2-5)
The Falcons almost beat the undefeated Saints last week - Impressive. The Redskins almost beat the winless Chiefs back in week 6 - Not so impressive.
Bears* (4-3) over Cardinals (4-3)
These two teams are peas in a pod. They swing between 'great' and 'pathetic' from week to week. The next 3 Bears games should determine whether they have a legitimate shot at the playoffs. Win 2 of 3, and the outlook's good - Lose more than one, and start rebuilding. I'm giving the Bears the benefit of the doubt here, since they still haven't lost at home this season.
Postgame: Ready... Aim... FIRE!
Ravens (4-3) over Bengals* (5-2)
In the first match-up between these two teams in Week 5, Benson clowned the Ravens defense. Nobody holds a grudge like Baltimore - Bet on the birds, hun.
Colts* (7-0) over Texans (5-3)
If the Texans played the Colts every week, then maybe I'd have better luck in picking their games. Thanks for the break, Indy.
Patriots* (5-2) over Dolphins (3-4)
The wildcat Fish (wild catfish?) have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. Belichick has nothing up his sleeves (because he cut them off). I still like the Pats here.
Packers (4-3) over Buccaneers* (0-7)
Hey, hold up! The Pack get the Suckaneers this season, and the Bears don't? What. The. Fuck?!? I'm calling shenanigans!
Postgame: The Vikings just made the playoffs during their bye week. Congratulations.
Jaguars* (3-4) over Chiefs (1-6)
Damn, I can't think of anything vaguely interesting about this game. The Chiefs fans' open hostility toward (KC running back) Larry Johnson is sorta intriguing, but he's out this week, so... nope... nothing.
Late Sunday Games:
Seahawks* (2-5) over Lions (1-6)
Wow, I thought the previous game was boring. I stand corrected. This one takes the generic ricecake.
Saints* (7-0) over Panthers (3-4)
I'd like to give up some props to Carolina for killing the Cardinals last week - Good stuff. Sorry to say, but your one-game winning streak ends here.
Giants* (5-3) over Chargers (4-3)
Grumpy McCoachalot told his Giants that this is a "do or die" game. That's a crazy-risky statement to make halfway through the season, but I say it pays off for 'em in this one.
49ers* (3-4) over Titans (1-6)
OMG! Did y'all see that barnburner between the Colts and Niners last week. These guys are stupid-good. That being said, I hope that the Titans hospitalize most of Samurai Mike's boys before their trip to Chicago next Thursday.
Sunday Night Game:
Cowboys (5-2) over Eagles* (5-2)
They go to the Link at night -They go where Iggles dare
They pick up every movement - They pick off every loser
McNabb's trapped in the pocket - Here comes DeMarcus Ware
-chorus-
Romo's no goddamn son of a bitch - You better think about it Philly
Romo's no goddamn son of a bitch - You better think about it Philly
Postgame: If anyone watched this game, you know that the above Misfits parody was fucking spot-on. Finally, something good this week.
Monday Night Game:
Broncos* (6-1) over Steelers (5-2)
Ouch! That decisive loss to the Ravens last week had to hurt. I say that Denver learns their lesson and pulls off a win for the home crowd.
