(Editor’s note: The following picks where submitted late at night on November 18th, after a Saturday of heavy drinking. I had neither the time, nor the inclination to do it “right”. So while the layout has been modified to the standard two-column format and the intro was added on 12/05/06, the picks themselves have not been changed. Which is really too bad, seeing as I could use the help of hindsight. Enjoy!)
Sorry about that. As they say in the biz, “my bad”.
So we missed Week 10 this year, although I’m SURE I would have gone 4-0, and Brian would have taken an 0-4 collar.
But since we’re not living in fantasyland here, we’ll just forget week 10 ever happened, and cover what happened “last” week (week 9): Brian had a strong week at 3-1, pushing his overall record to 18-17-1. I had another 2-2 week (imagine that, the Bears didn’t cover 13 at Miami and lost!), giving me an identical 18-17-1 record. Seriously, anyone who bets on football is an idiot.
On to the picks!
| Chargers at Broncos (-2.5) | |
|---|---|
|
Jeremy: Chargers. Cuz I have no idea. Pick: Chargers |
Brian: All LT, all day baby! What the hell is Marty’s problem? LT gets 22 carries for 125 and 4 TD’s. Why 22 carries?!?!? That dude should at least get 30 rushes and 5-8 catches. He’s THE BEST PLAYER IN FOOTBALL. No debate. None. Not Peyton Manning, not Tom Brady. L Freakin T. And this isn’t because I’m a Chargers fan. Let’s say you were the GM of a new team and got to pick any current player in the league to build around, who would it be? You’re lying if you don’t say LT, either that or you have no teeth, married your cousin and wear tank-tops, fanny packs and flip-flops with socks. Pick: Chargers |
| Bengals at Saints (-3) | |
|
Jeremy: Why wouldn’t the Saints win this? Didn’t think so. Right. So take the Bengals. Pick: Bengals |
Brian: Are the Saints THAT good? Is Drew Brees a TOP-5 quarterback? Are they becoming America’s Team? Yes, yes, and yes. Should the Bengals have beaten San Diego last week? YES. Should this be a game when the Bengals bounce back from a gut-wrenching loss? No. What reason do they have? They are out of the playoffs, and have had disappointing seasons from both Johnsons and Palmer. Consider the rest of the season tanked. Saints win in a rout. Pick: Saints |
| Colts at Cowboys (+1) | |
|
Jeremy: Why wouldn’t the Colts win this? Didn’t think so. Right. So take the Colts. Pick: Colts |
Brian: One point seems awfully low. No way Dallas gives Indy their first loss this year. The pathetic old men ‘72 Dolphins can keep the champagne on ice for another week. Pick: Colts |
| Bears at Jets (+7) | |
|
Jeremy: The Jets are better than everyone thinks they are. Except I see this being one of those games where the Bears D scores 3 touchdowns. I hate doing this. Theres no way the Bears cover this. But whatever. Take them anyway. Pick: Bears |
Brian: Take the goddamn Jets and the points. Pick: Jets |
