Last week, 13/16; season, 123/193.
Colts over Tenn – YAY!
Cleveland over Buffalo (this is the beginning of a long string of away team picks. That makes me very uncomfortable, frankly) – X (sigh. Told you so…)
Tampa over Washington – YAY!
Atlanta over Carolina – YAY!
Oakland over Jacksonville (upset alert! I like the match-up here; and I’ve not been sold on Jacksonville all season. That’s on me, though) – X
Green Bay over Detroit – X
Pitt over Cincy (another potential pride upset here. Pitt is coming off a tough victory; Cincy can play loose. Still, Pitt is at home, so…) – YAY!
NO over St Louis – YAY!
Seattle over San Fran (SF at home and getting better QB play; and Seattle is an enigma. But I’m looking for a few upset picks) – X
Jets over Miami (I think NE exposed the Jets a bit, but I think Miami is overrated a bit, as well. Still, Miami is a nice upset pick here — just not for me.) – X
Chargers over the Chiefs (a must-win game for the Bolts) – YAY!
NE over Chicago – YAY!
Denver over Ariz (the Eric Studesville era has officially begun!) – X
Minn over NYG (at home, upset pick. I think the Minn defense is once again playing at a high level. This game has been delayed because of snow and a roof collapse, giving Favre and maybe even Percy Harvin time to heal up)
Baltimore over Houston
Dallas over Philly (upset special! 34-31; this pick could change before game time as I sober up a bit) – X
I’m taking a lot of chances this week — upset picks, bets against home teams… But the time has come in the season to take some chances or else I’m done, anyway.
Your turn.
buf CLE, det GB, min NYG, PIT cin, wsh TB, car ATL, JAC oak, NO stl, SF sea, chi NE, NYJ mia, ari DEN, SD kc, DAL phi, hou BAL, ten IND(!)
made this up yesterday. no change min-nyg’s on “what the hell, let’er rip” grounds.
Bills over Browns
Redskins over Bucs
Falcons over Panthers
Raiders over Jags
Packers over Lions
Cincy over Steelers
Saints over Rams
Niners over Seahawks
Jets over Fins
Chiefs over Chargers
Bears over Pats
Broncos over Cardinals
Giants over Vikings
Ravens over Texans
Cowboys over Igglez
And I’ll take a leg up via the Colts victory over the Titans.
But, you know, what do I know.
Indy (whee!), Cleveland, Green Bay, Giants, Pittsburgh, Tampa, Atlanta, Jacksonville, San Fran, New Orleans, Jets, Denver, New England, San Diego, Philly and Baltimore.
We don’t even know where the Vikings are going to play yet. The dome ripped early this morning.
You already said that. See, if I could learn to read first instead of just yammering immediately, I wouldn’t look the fool as often.
I’ve no ‘skin in the game’ fantasy league, so I’ll just pick the teams that I’d like to see win.
Buffalo over Cleveland
Washington over Tampa
Atlanta over Carolina (this is pretty much a lock)
Jacksonville over Oakland (picking for the AFC South)
Detroit over Green Bay
Cincy over the Steelers
Saints over Saint Louis (next week, Breese will have a very cold date with the Ravens. Can’t wait.)
Seahawks over SF
Miami over New Jersey Jets
KC over SD
Bears over Patriots (I wish!)
Cardinals over Broncos (because, well, ARIZONA~!)
22″ of snow over Minnesota AND the Giants (I win this one~!)
Ravens to demolish Houston (I hope!)
Vick’s Eagles over Dallas (I’d like to see Vick in the Super Bowl, instead of NO and Breese.)
Bud (Got Arisept?) Adams is ready to end the Fisher era I’m afraid. (In the photo, doesn’t Adams look like Grandpa Munster ?)
every bots picking ne
i’m from boston..
two thingys-brandon spikes-ne middle linebacker is suspended-so if chi goes ground game in inclement weather..
but..
tom brady is on fire! he really is!
he’s in a zone..
if the vans a rocking/dont come knocking
Y’all know what it was?
Maybe it was those racist cupcakes.
no-they got the clampdown on it..
probably steroids..
he issued a non apology apology..
btw- i picked the pats at 9-7
cuz they got 4 rookies on defense
what do i know
but- brady is on fire! a joy to watch-if ur a fan..
Vikings & Giants in Detroit. That will be a strange thing.
Nope, but I hope Aaron Hernandez wasn’t smoking it too. Would be my guess.
guees who’s coming to dinner..
natty dread, mon
go doggerel if u want to see my/bostons love affair with tom brady
First a collapsing bridge, then a collapsing dome. Minneapolis is the land of stuff falling down.
the bard of hibbing..
broken lines broken things
broken threads broken strings
broken idols broken heads
people sleeping in broken beds
Ain’t no use jiving
ain’t no use joking
Everything is broken
damn- i can go on..
broken bottles broken plates
broken switches broken gates
broken dishes broken parts
street are filled with broken hearts
broken words never meant to be spoken
everthing is broken
I’m not liking what I’m seeing out of Tampa today. With only one or two more breaks going their way, it looks like the Skins could win this game.
seems likeseemlike everey time u stop and turn around
something else just hits the ground
broken cutters broken saws
broken buckles broken laws
broken bodies broken phones
brocken voices on broken phones
take a deep breathe feel like ur choking
everything is broken
everytime u leave and go off someplace
things fall to pieces in my face
broken hands on broken ploughs
broken treaties broken vows
broken pipes broken tools
people bending broken rules
hound dog howling
bullfrog croaking
everything is broken
all my broken stuff- i think i should add a j
bjork
just for the silly
I’m guessing it was incandescent light bulbs.
Tiebreaker: Dick Jauron’s Chicago Bear head coaching record.
One time, Jerry.
Green Bay might have just been concussed out of the playoffs…
Rogers? Going to check.
Cranky – good chance I will be up your way this week. If so, me and you and Squid will have to do the Juicy Lucy thingers.
Go Oakland. This is the first time I ever rooted for the Raiders. I feel dirty.
The tailend of that low pressure system hammering you guys up north just moved through here a few minutes ago. We got 15 mins of rain out of it (if that), with nasty cold coming a day or so from now.
Great timing, JD! I leave Tuesday afternoon for San Diego.
Well that sucks. Won’t know for sure for a day or two. Depends on if the field was damaged.
dick jauron was a famous high school athelete
from these parts..
scituate i believe
and tho he claims it
he didn’t fuck my sister..
not on my watch!
little dicky jauron..
stuck his toes in a pond..
he whistled dixie..
when he got his snout in a pixie..
but the saints-do march on..
[does what i said make sense?]
dick jauron.. we hardly knew ya
metrodome collapse from inside stadium
LIONS WIN!!!!
Fie. C’mon Jags, score.
JAGS!
tits!
Looks like we’re playing blizzard ball in Chitown. This should be a lot of fun…from my living room.
All that snow is covering up our lovely field. Wild finish for the Jags. Now they have to come to our house.
Oh no, we knew Dick, good and plenty.
Chicago is getting their asses thoroughly kicked.
Yes, we have another bloodbath on our hands. Why does Belichick hate Da Bears? I suspect he’s a closet Republican.
33-0, at the half? Holy shite.
When was the last missed extra point?
Halftime!
New England is fuckig rolling. Fuckers are good. Damn good.
78-3 over their last 6 quarters, all against division leading teams. Amazing.
why i hate chicago and bears..
sherman-set the wayback machine to 1986-
the bears put a hurtin for certain on my pats.. thats cool-i can deal..
but
they were up monster points- and they had first and goal- and they called a time out and brought the ‘fridge ‘ in for a meaningless t down.
walter payton? who ran ur half assed orginazation.. other teams keyed on him..
he led the league in rush-with one hand tied behind his back!many times..
and ur gonna call a time out.. and put the fridge in- for a meaningless td?
u couldn’t give it tio sweetness?
fuck u chicago..
FUCK U!
If the Super Bowl were tomorrow, the Pats would win by acclamation.
The Broncos’ offense looks like a JV squad.
i just want to say/guinsPen-u put a smile on my face,,back to the ass-kicking
They switched away from the Patriots game in my market, just to avoid losing too many eyes.
Arizona’s up 19-3. Unbelievable.
walter paytons stats..
yeah-he ran alot
we share the same b day july 25
and u chicago people had to call a time out?
to give the fridge a td?
shame! shame shame shame..
shame on you!
Looks like Arizona won this one: 43_13. ‘Big Red’ Skelton wins his debut. This kid might be a keeper.
The Seahawks sucked, once again!
why couldn’t they just give walter payton a gimme
superbowl touchdown..why?
sorry for beating a dead horse..
but them calling a time-out-and putting william ‘refridgarator’ perry in.. for a meaningless td?
and u got the running God-walter payton on the bench?
i will never forgive u-chicago–
u people suck..
hey, boston got stumbles..
but
to call a time out-and insert the fridge- while u got sweetness on the bench?
i hope when u look in the mirror, to shave..
u decide to cut your throat..
bastards!
That’s exactly how I feel about the refs who called Super Bowl XL.
beating a dead horse pt 2
to call a time out! to call a time out when u
got the ball on the one yard line
and insert the fridge.. just for a meaningless touchdown?
u were already kicking our butts.
but no- u had to call a time out-and u didnt have the decency to bring in wally payton?
instead u bring in the fridge?
fuck u chicago
fuck..you
sorry- it irks me…
mike la la
what is superbowl xl?
name teams please
The game at Plastic Surgery Stadium is gonna be a shootout.
That was the 2006 Super Bowl: Seattle Seahawks vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Several bad calls – a BS offensive pass interference call, phantom holding penalty among them – all of which went against the Seahawks, cost the ‘Hawks points and,ultimately the game.
Sal Alosi is gonna get his ass deservedly kicked by Goodell.

Green Bay over Detroit – X
IN YOUR FACE.
[looks down lovingly at brand new, overpriced, Lions sweatshirt]
I attended the game with my husband, who is a huge Packer’s fan. The third quarter tested our marriage.
I think we’re stronger for it.
ll that sucks. Won’t know for sure for a day or two. Depends on if the field was damaged.
Oh, and I’ve got free tickets for tomorrow night’s game. woot.
We’re giving them to an employee.
dy (whee!), Cleveland, Green Bay, Giants, Pit
Not one of you fockers picked Detroit, did you?
oh yeah- i member- the seahawks got screwed..
i remember
That Jets asshat is not the least bit surprising. their season is starting to slip, and their dick head of a head coach sets the tone for the organization.
And we should have, why exactly? Surely not just so’s you’d respect us in the morning?
If the field was damaged, I will be gone for a while.
but then kurt cobain shot his shotgun in pretty face..
so we’re even?
ichiro!
i likey jack lambert..
i think i can name name every 1976 steelers..
i often get caught up with the outside linebacker ‘ham’
and the free safety..donnie sump but other than that, im good to go..
nd we should have, why exactly? Surely not just so’s you’d respect us in the morning?
how about how of friendship?
Don’t you ever think about how hurt I am by no one even throwing me an occasional “Go Lions!” bone?
It hurts. Cuts deep.
Go Lions.
That was a lot of weight at speed hitting it all at once in a small footprint JD. Like a mini-Niagara Falls almost. Hard to imagine it wasn’t hurt . . .
oh. but Carin, wishing them well and picking them to win are two different things, no? I mean, even inveterate fans can be sane now and then . . .
Go Lions!
The backing on that turf is pretty resilient, and the broad area, relatively, of impact lessens the likelihood of an impact tear, along with the infill system, providing shock attenuation.
Minnesota ; Nice field you have there, Detroit.
If there were to be damage JD, how would it look, or what would you expect to see? Is the stuff laid on soil? Or concrete? Or what?
we’re even
then the supersonics kurt cobained themselves in ’08
I would expect a tear in the backing, or having the backing stretched beyond a point where it maintains it’s integrity. I would also expect almost complete displacement of the infill,except for the sand ballast. I think the P/E fiber to come out alright, but there may be shredding or tearing of the individual fibers. Given the force and weight of the snow impact, the entire system could have been pulled from it’s nailers, where it is affixed.
the lions are my ..third fav team.
i like my homeboys..
then-for some strange reason. the oakland raiders?
but detroit..roar roar..
how about them cowboys?[ lions just lick their lips]
my sister weenot.. just stole a..my.. a.. the truck the truck..
calm down m’amm.. where did she go..
i dunno, i think she was heading to ..vegas..
did she bet on the lions?
how the fuck do i know..
she took the dang truck!
dang me, dang me
u outta get a rope and hang me
Hopefully that slippery little midget that caused us so much trouble last Sunday and gave Oakland fits today will be good and greasy for next Sunday’s matchup in Indy.
Serr8d is evil. Like a midget.
hey deetroit- motor city..

hockeytown-steve yzerman-gordie howe
dominick hasek? iggy pop?

detroit, detroit, is there a nicer place to point?
far off in the distance..a canadien future?

i pick u off, the bottom of my shoe,,
Detroit is cool! Where else can you buy a whole house for $500 or less?
Philadelphia is a damn solid football team.
Andy Reid looks like a coach what inhaled another coach.
On Speed, they are testing the Audi R8 against the Lexus LFA. Amazing.
I’m still having trouble finalizing my pick on the Oakland-Jacksonville game. I want the Raiders to win, but Jacksonville seems awfully good. I think I’ll go with Jacksonville by seven, but that’s still iffy.
