What week is this? It's like week 8 or something. Yeah, week 8. Cool. I missed a week with the picks due to a trip to the Emerald Isle, sponsored by beer and pork. I'm 43-43-1 on the season. The hump has fought back.
CAROLINA -7.5 OVER MINNESOTA
If you really believe the Vikings turned it around, you didn't watch the last three minutes of that game against the Packers. They won despite their head coach's horrible time management work. I think they lose here and lose convincingly.
CINCINNATI -9 OVER GREEN BAY
I never through I'd feel bad for Brett Favre. And I don't. Seeing that looking on his face as The Dinger booted a 56 to win for the Vikes was just about the best damn thing image in sports this year. As a matter of fact, I'm going to go and make it my background screen.
ARIZONA +9 OVER DALLAS
There is a football equivalent of Pandora's Box...it's called The Real Drew Bledsoe. He debuted for the Cowboys on Sunday and don't be surprised if he throws two interceptions this weekend to keep the Cowboys from making this an easy win.
DENVER -3.5 OVER PHILADELPHIA
Here's my ace top gun analysis. The Eagles don't run the ball. They throw a lot of screen passes. The Broncos have the fastest group of linebackers in the NFL. Champ on T.O. The Broncos run on everyone.
CHICAGO +3 OVER DETROIT
I think the Bears defensive players realize this is a great chance to shut a team down and statistically lead in every category. I'd like to seem them do it very much.
HOUSTON -2 OVER CLEVELAND
I'm 3-0 on betting the Vegas Crazy. I'm looking for 4-0 here.
ST. LOUIS +3 OVER JACKSONVILLE
I don't know why.
BUFFALO +9 OVER NEW ENGLAND
This division rivalry games are always close and I think Mularkey feels the heat and puts this game in Willis McGahee's hands.
MIAMI +2.5 OVER NEW ORLEANS
Nick Saban over Aaron Brooks every single day of the damn week. And Nicky has to love coaching at LSU again.
NEW YORK GIANTS -2.5 OVER WASHINGTON
God, this should be a terrific game and I'm going to watch it (if the Bears beat the Lions. If they don't, I'll be dead drunk.) I think Eli is coming...he's coming.
OAKLAND -1.5 OVER TENNESSEE
Ridiculous statement of the week: I'd take Oakland -10.5
SAN DIEGO -6 OVER KANSAS CITY
How pissed is L.T. this week? Watch this game and you'll find out.
TAMPA BAY -11 OVER SAN FRANCISCO
I want to pick San Fran but how can you? They don't have anything good on their team.
PITTSBURGH -10 OVER BALTIMORE
No Ray Lewis or Ed Reed and I just watched Thomas Jones and the Bears plow this defense. The Pitt o-line is the most talented and best coached in the game. This will get ugly...fast.
Here at DaBearsBlog, you are free to kill us or the Bears as you so wish. You are not free, however, to be an asshole. So if you spew racism or ill-meaning foul language (cursing about football is just fine) or anything of that ilk, your comments ain't gonna last long, jerk.
