Indianapolis +9 at Tennessee. Both teams got hammered last. In fact, Indianapolis took an SEC vs FCS school-type beating, losing 62 - 7 to the Saints. The loss of Peyton Manning has revealed to all the world what I always knew head coach Jim Caldwell to be: an amiable-but-clueless negro wandering the sidelines wondering how he ever got so lucky to be Tony Dungy’s friend. . .although without Manning around, it looks like his luck has run out. Matt *Lazarus* Hasselbeck has played like a corpse the last two weeks, after earlier leading Tennessee to a surprising 3 - 1 start. Now they are 3 - 3, and Chris Johnson still can’t run the ball and Tennessee is sinking fast. This is a game Indianapolis could actually win, and should certainly be able to cover with a generous 9 points. Indianapolis.
New Orleans at St. Louis +13 1/2: New Orleans got to play shitty Indy last week (62 - 7), and now play an even worse team. St. Louis, Miami and Indy are winless and beginning to threaten Rod Marinelli’s perfekt season. But Indy and St. Louis play in crap divisions and have plenty of games with shitty teams left, so they should each be able to scrape up at least one win. But Miami? They play in the NFL’s toughest division, and after blowing last week’s game at home to Tim Tebow, their last favorable looking game on their schedule, the Dolphins look like they might be on their way to putting an 0 - 16 season on the shelf to bookend Don Shula’s 17 - 0 season. But, anyway, as for the NO - STL game. . .St. Louis only getting 13 1/2?!?! I figured they’d at least get 20 1/2. Bet your wedding ring on the Saints. New Orleans.
New England at Pittsburgh +3: After a slow start, the Steelers have been getting it together the last three weeks. New England is 5 - 1, and most people believe them to still be an *elite* team. Not me. The Pats are soft on defense, and Tom Brady looks very beatable when facing a team that can pressure him. Brady has never had much trouble with the Steelers defense, though. It’s not often you see the Steelers a home underdog. I’m betting this is the year the Steelers put the hurt on Brady. Pittsburgh.
Dallas +3 1/2 at Philadelphia: Two sloppy big play offenses going at it to see who remains in the race to win the mediocre NFC East. The Cowboys got a huge game from Demarco Murray last week, and now face an Eagles team with a terrible run defense. The Eagles have the #1 rushing offense in the league, and are going up against Dallas’ #1 rush defense, meaning the Eagles chances hinge on the million dollar left arm and ten cent brain of Michael Vick. This one should feature tons of big plays, penalties, INTs and bonehead decisions. In a game between two teams that both tend to self-destruct, I’ll take the one getting the points. Dallas.
Poor Mathilda Stafford. She has even the home-crowd calling her a girly-boy.
ReplyDeleteI remember her being pretty tough in college but the players aren't as big there. She's breaking down, already.
Even Tony Homo can manage to play hurt. . . .
Speaking of Dallas, this will be one of the rare times I can root for Dallas. . . . any team playing whatever team Vick is on gets my vote that week. I predict if the going gets tough, Vick will come up crying about this or that. "Da refs don wann trow flagz fo me's! Udder quatahbackz gets da flags!"
Hopefully an LB in open-field will get a clean shot on the jackass and give him a real reason to cry.
Indy. . . . what can be said of Indy? NO piled on without really trying. They were that bad. The coach? Ha ha ha, he looked like he just got his SAT score. "Id 550 a gud sco'?"
No, coach, no. Your 550 SAT score wasn't good then and your coaching is even worse.
Manning on the sidelines isn't making things any better, either. Great player with a great football mind? Yes. Terrible coach. He uglies up the sideline with that one-chromosome-short mug (that nose is getting huge) and has no concept of how a non-Manning QB can't play as well as Manning.
It's most of Elway's problem in Denver, too. The only great coach that was a good QB I know of is Spurrier. For all his arrogance, he knows the limitations of his QB's. He also knows their strengths. . . . when they have them (Garcia, anyone?).
Atlanta is off this week, and a good thing. They can look at their game and realize that running is their game. These stupid OC's think they need to have a vertical game. That's where the money is, reckon. But the game is still about this simple goal: Wins.
But my big question is whether this STUPID pink CRAP at NFL games for tit-cancer are done for the fucking season?
Really? Tit-cancer awareness? Is anyone really unaware? I've been aware of it since Nancy Reagan got one of her flapjacks cut off in the 80's. Who DOESN'T know about that shit?
Even NFL players were aware of tit-cancer before the STUPID pink crap. Hell, if the NFL wants to educate and inform, they ought do literacy awareness. If the tweets are any indication, the typical moron in the NFL has around a 4th grade reading level.
I agree with you about all the pink tit-cancer shit. Hell, why not just have the players wear bras outside their jerseys?
