Damn, last week was brutal. Late games did me wrong (Note to self: Never bet against Football Jesus). I think I’m still in the plus for the season so far. Turkey day means Thursday football. So here are my picks:

Miami -2.5 At Detroit

I just don’t get John Kitna. Cost me a W this week with a gaudy 6 points. Harrington throwing a lot and the Dolphins has covered 3 straight weeks. Fins will cover.

Tampa Bay At Dallas -11

The Cowgirls are finally playing Parcell’s D. Big D covers against the Rice-less Bucs.

Denver At Kansas City -1

The Broncos haven’t covered in a while. At Arrowhead, they won’t again. KC wins it by 3.

Jacksonville -3 At Buffalo

Jags are the strangest team in the AFC. And this may as well be pick ‘em. Losing Darius will mean a big game for Lee Evans and Losman. Jags Def. are mediocre away from home. Bills win 2nd straight.

Houston At NY Jets -6

Penny and the Jets will rebound at home against the Texans.

Pittsburgh At Baltimore -3

Big Ben and the Steelers are mounted a run, perhaps. Baltimore is not an easy place to win, unless you’re the Thundercats. Steelers pull a minor upset, 16-13.

Cincinnati -3 At Cleveland

So this is what happens when you throw long…to 85…a lot. Marvin Lewis a good coach? I think not. But the Bungals get one in the backyard brawl.

Arizona At Minnesota -6

Zona has decent defensive parts. But losing Berry is huge. He’s perhaps the most underrated pass rusher in the game. Fitzgerald will get back into the game. They won’t win, but take Zona.

San Francisco At St. Louis -5.5

All of the sudden, the 49ers are the team to beat in their conference. Gore is the next big thing not named LT. San Fran by 10.

New Orleans At Atlanta -3

I thought about trying out for a DB position for the Falcons. Then I realized that the Falcons are bunch of losers. Vick is the worst QB in the league. Yes, that’s right, the WORST. He has an O-line that cut-blocks with the best of them, 3 1st round WRs, Warrick Dunn’s 1200 yards, and Alge. You telling me that he can’t consistently get to the playoffs? Here’s an idea Mora Jr., START SCHAUB! Not that I care. Ain’ts by 21.

Carolina -4.5 At Washington NO PICK

Incidentally, 4.5 point against the Skins is an insult. Go Cats!

Chicago At New England -3

Matchup of the week, hands down. You will see the Pats do something that no one in the league dare to do, run the ball against Da Bears. And they will have success. Marony will go for 150 and a TD. .

Philadelphia At Indianapolis -9.5

Without Donovan, the Eagles are toast. Indoor, Westbrook will be effective, but Garcia won’t be (see his years in the Silverdome). Indy covers.

NY Giants -3 At Tennessee

I don’t see Eli sucking for another game, especially against the Titans. Titans will run all over the Giants. But in the end, Tiki will be the difference. Giants gets their 7th win.

Oakland At San Diego -13

Never again will I defy our lord and savior. FJ and the Natural (LT) by 3TDs.

Green Bay At Seattle -10

Favre is dinged up on Monday night, take the Packers.

There it is, my week 12 picks. I’d also like to comment on the whole Chucky situation. CHUCK HIM! That’s all, thank you and happy Turkey Day.

Hello boys and girls, it’s time for the Week 11 edition of the “Who’s going to win in the NFL”
. I applaud the Good Doctor’s valiant effort last week. But he’s about to get owned a 2nd time in as many weeks (courtesy of Transaction Jackson). That being said, would the next contender please stand up? El Capitan? Wagon formerly known as Chuck? It don’t matter really. The winners are:

Raiders at Chiefs (-10)

I can’t imagine the Chiefs being better with Trent Green back in the lineup. And losing Gonzo may be a problem. Division rivals, Chiefs at home will not have problems covering at home.

Colts (-1.5) at Cowgirls

Colts had one bad week against the Bills and they get their respect taken away. Colts will scorch the Cowgirls to go 10-0. Look for Addai to have a monster game.

Jail birds (Bungals) at Saints (-3.5)

Two awfully over-rated teams, with no defense duking it out. This week’s shootout alert. 38-30 Saints.

Steelers (-3.5) at Browns

Fast Willie is taking names. Brown will continue to look for a suitable go to guy…and continue to fail. Steelers will cover in the snowy Cleveland.

Titans at Philly (-13)

13 points is a lot even against the Titans. Philly’s D is playing the pass great, but against the run, they are mediocre. Take the Titans and Henry’s newfound running game.

Dirty Birds at Ravens (-4)

This is my “upset” pick of the week. Ray Ray just had his back drained and without him in the lineup, the Ravens are giving up plenty on the ground. Which plays into Atlanta’s strength. Falcons pull it out on Ancient Anderson’s 36 yard FG.

Rams at Thundercats (-6.5) NO PICK

I made a near fatal mistake last week and actually pick a Panthers game. Although I was dead on, I saw in the first half what me picking the fate of my beloved team can do to them. So from this point forth, I will not be picking any Panthers game. With that said, GO Thundercats!

Bills at Texans (-2)

A-train is carrying the load and the Texans are only good against the Jags. Bills win.

Pats (-5.5) at Packers

Brady and Favre, it doesn’t get any better than that. Pats will prevail and cover against the Packer’s 31st ranked passing def.

Redskins at Bucs (-3.5)

Two young QBs and two bad teams. This will get the U-G-L-Y Alert of the week. Skins takes it.

Da Bears (-6.5) at J-E-T-S

This game will be over at half time. The Bears D will eat Pennington.

Vikings at Fins (-3.5)

Fins playing well and hitting their usual late-season stride. Fins at home covers.

Lion at Cards (-2)

Ewwwww, another ugly one. Lions will take this one in the desert.

Seahawks (-4.5) at 49ers

This is a tough. If Hasseltrash and Alexander plays, the ‘Hawks will win by 21. But if they don’t, they’ll win be a mere 6. Seahawks will cover.

Bolts at Broncos (-2.5)

Bolts D just isn’t the same with out their Steroids Duo (Castilla and Merriman). Broncos cover at home.

Giants at Jacksonville (-3.5)

Really haven’t figure either of these teams out just yet. Giants to this win one in Florida.

That’s all folks. And remember, the information presented above is strictly for entertainment use only. All money lost as the result of the information presented above will not be subsidized by the writer’s non-existent annual salary.

Eventhough the good doctor hosed me out of my genius Dolphins upset pick, I will once again enlighten you people (crackers) the ways of NFL Week 10:

Baltimore (-7) at Tennessee 1:00 p.m.

Belick is calling the plays, go with the Ravens.

Buffalo at Indianapolis (-12.5) 1:00 p.m.

Indy on carpet will cover.

Chicago at N.Y. Giants 1:00 p.m. (Pick ’em)
Da Bears will prevail. Giants have no defenders left.

Cleveland at Atlanta (-8.5) 1:00 p.m.

Look for the Browns to pull an upset this week.

Green Bay at Minnesota (-5.5) 1:00 p.m.

Favre will throw for 3 TDs.

Houston at Jacksonville (-10.5) 1:00 p.m.

Jags covered last week at home. Will do it again this week.

Kansas City (-1) at Miami 1:00 p.m.

Fins still suck.

New Orleans at Pittsburgh (-4.5) 1:00 p.m.

Let’s all chant “We want Bill”. Brees will have a good day.

N.Y. Jets at New England (10.5) 1:00 p.m.

10.5 is a bit excessive, take the Jets.

San Diego (-1.5) at Cincinnati 1:00 p.m.

Shootout alert. I’m calling it 45-42 Chargers.

San Francisco at Detroit (-6) 1:00 p.m.

Santa Clara 49ers just doesn’t sound quite right. Take them with 6 points.

Washington at Philadelphia (-7) 1:00 p.m.

Skins blow and will continue to blow.

Denver (-9) at Oakland 4:05 p.m.

Oakland=Worst offense EVER.

Dallas (-7) at Arizona 4:15 p.m.

T.O. will drop another 2-3 passes and the sideline scene will remind you of the Philly days of old.

St. Louis at Seattle (-3.5) 4:15 p.m.

Seneca Wallace is over-rated and so are the Seahawks (weakest 2nd half schedule in NFC).

Tampa Bay at Carolina (-9) 8:30 p.m.

Go Panthers! 24-10 the good guys.

That’s it folks.

A note to the Good Doctor: You might want to find out how keyboards are used to type Mandarin. Because your latest job (What is it, the 12th one now?) just got out-sourced to China.

I hate to upstage Mr. Calhoun, but his picks have been shotty thus far this season. It is amazing that he hasn’t turned to prostitution to stay afloat. Anyhoo, this is how I see it (and these are the latest lines):

Chiefs at Rams (-2.5):

I’d take the Chiefs. Gonzo seems to be his old self again with Huard getting comfortable doing Trent Green’s job. Something about Trent Green’s major injuries that just bring out the best in his backups (Warner, now Huard).

Bungals (+3) at Ravens:

Take the Ravens at home. Their offensive outburst last week was helped by 2 def. TDs. At home, against a Bungals team that are looking more and more like the Bungals of old, the Ravens won’t have problems getting a couple more of those. Palmer is getting tattooed on every other play and Ocho Cinco is running out of gimmicks to keep the spotlight on him.

Giants (-13) at Texans:

I really want to believe that David Carr is a good fantasy QB. But he’s proven me wrong and cost me two wins this season. Sage Rosenfel will be an easy target for the Giants Def that is playing well.

Titans (+9.5) at Jags:

Take the Jags to cover at home. Although, 9.5 point is a lot for the Jags Offense that is switch QBs back and forth. The difference here maybe Fred Taylor, who is refusing to go away and is staying healthy. Well, for now.

Cowgirls (-3) at Skins:

No idea why the Cowgirls have 3 points on this one. Redskins are HORRIBLE this year. Santana Moss is hurt and may not play. Take Homo, errr.. Romo and Cowgirls.

Packers (+3) at Bills:

Favre has had success in the past in Orchard Park. Take the Packers with 3 points in their pockets. Incidentally, No. 4 is making another ‘Comeback’. When are people going to realize that Favre is the best QB in this generation and doubting him is like doubting that a Bengals player will be in jail.

Ain’ts (-1) at Bucs:

The Bucs are awful and the Ain’ts ain’t that much better to be honest. They’ve played some bad teams and won. And the Bucs are a bad team.

Lions (+5.5) at Falcons:

I hate Michael Vick. But he’ll get another win today vs. the Lions. This will be a shootout. Take the Falcons at home to cover.

Bears (-13.5) at Dolphines:

This one has upset alert written all over it. I’m not convinced that the Bears can go undefeated. Take the Dolphines at home and pray.

Vikings at 49ers (+5):

The Vikings were exposed by the Brady bunch last week. Alex Smith and friends should have no problems jamming a couple of TDs into the gush that is the Viking’s secondary. 49ers at home, by 14.
Browns at Bolts (-12.5):

LT won’t need to play the second half. Take the Bolts to cover at home

Broncos at Steelers (-3):

Steelers are in la la land this season after the Super Bowl win. Broncos will cover. On a side note, I’m starting a website called What Would Cowher Do.com as a tribute to Chuck Amato’s brilliant game ‘Strategeries’.

Colts (+3) at Pats:

Game of the week. Brady Vs. Manning. Take the Pats at home.

Raiders (+7.5) at Seahawks

Who’s left on Seahawks offense? Raiders are making a little comeback with wins in the last 2 games.
That’s all folks. I’d leave you with a ‘Go Pack’, but we blow.
