At this rate, look for extended contracts for Lovie and Angelo. Fuck me.
Last Week's Picks: 6/8
Season Record: 81/63
Thursday Night Game:
Bears (6-3) over Dolphins (5-4)
There is an axiom which states; "It's better to be lucky than to be good". That has never been more apt than to describe the Bears going into this game. Last week the Fish lost both their starting AND back-up quarterbacks. The Bears get to saunter into the Sunshine State knowing that they'll be going up against third-stringer Tyler Thigpen who has only had a few days to acclimate to the role of starter. Lucky motherfuckers.
Early Sunday Games:
Bengals* (2-7) over Bills (1-8)
If the Williams hadn't won last week, I'd pick 'em here in a heartbeat. Right now the Bengals need a win even more. I'll give it to 'em on their home turf.
Cowboys* (2-7) over Lions (2-7)
Detroit is just as good as Dallas is bad - This one could go either way. The Boys seem to have new life with the coaching switch - If they want to keep it up, they best get a win in the Jerry-Dome.Titans* (5-4) over Redskins (4-5)
I wonder who cares less about the game of football, Albert Haynesworth or Vince Young? I say scratch the game and let those two slugs settle this one with a Chocodile eating contest.Chiefs* (5-4) over Cardinals (3-6)
Kansas City was in a pretty nice position before dumping two games in a row against division rivals. If they want to keep up their Cinderella season they better not turn into a pumpkin halfway through the season. Packers (6-3) over Vikings* (3-6)
A Vikings win would be damn sweet here. Picking Pack, pulling for the Vikes.Jets* (7-2) over Texans (4-5)
The Jets have spent the last two weeks in overtime with the Lions and the Browns - They won both. At this rate, look for a tie with the (slightly) better Texans.Steelers* (6-3) over Raiders (5-4)
The Steelers got crushed last week by the Pats (as the Pats did the week before by the Browns). I see a similar bounce-back game for the Steelers. It isn't going to be easy though. The Raiders are coming off of a bye-week and had been playing extremely well before their break.Ravens (6-3) over Panthers* (1-8)
This game should be the lock-of-the-week. Then again, these 'gimme' games always have a way of going sideways.Browns (3-6) over Jaguars* (5-4)
I FUCKING HATE the Jags. Not for any good reason, but just because they're so damned boring. It's like the mediocrity of the city of Jacksonville has permeated through the entire franchise. Why can't we just ship 'em express to LA and end this experiment in commonness?Late Sunday Games:
Falcons (7-2) over Rams* (4-5)
The Rams look pretty good right now. The Falcons look great.
Saints* (7-2) over Seahawks (5-4)
Am I the only one who thinks that Pete Carroll threw Reggie Bush under the bus with the whole USC Heisman debacle? Here's his chance to get (a very small bit of) payback.Buccaneers (6-3) over 49ers* (3-6)
I'm still not sure what to make of the Bucs this year. They're winning against bad teams and losing against good teams. They have a great record, but it is the least impressive winning record in the NFL so far.Patriots* (7-2) over Colts (6-3)
This has been the marquee match-up of the season over the past few years, but this time around it seems played-out. It should be a good game, but (to me) it isn't even the most interesting game of the day.Sunday Night Game:
Eagles* (6-3) over Giants (6-3)
I have a feeling that the NFC East championship is going to go down to the wire between these two teams. The Giants have an easier remainder of the season, so the Eagles NEED this win at home.
Monday Night Game:
Chargers* (4-5) over Broncos (3-6)
More than any other game this week, I really wish that the Broncos can win this one. I'm fucking sick of the Chargers making late-season runs in the anemic AFC West.
