Eagles-3.5 over the Lions
If Michael Vick doesn't turn the ball over so much the Eagles probably would have won every game by double digits this year. Vick also announced that he is once again a dog owner, that for some reason strangely plays into my picking the Eagles this week. When you have a guy who does hard time for abusing dogs and then comes out and says 'hey guess what I'm so rehabilitated that I got another damn dog', now if this same person fumbles the ball a lot and then says you know what I'm going to do a better job of protecting the football, if I choose to believe him about the dog which I do, then surely I will also take his word about fumbling. Eagles 30 Lions 23
Atlanta - 9.5
Atlanta is an elite regular season team, has been now for a few years, we are dismissive about them and rightfully so, because they haven't won any playoff games since the rehabbed dog lover (ahem, look up) was running rabid (yes I chose the word rabid) on NFL defenses almost 10 years ago. This is week 6 in the regular season the Falcons are 5-0, the offense has been clicking on all cylinders and the defense has been stellar, on the other hand, Oakland thus far has been less than impressive on offense and defense and they are not a good road team. Oakland will not be able to stop Atlanta from scoring which means they themselves will have to continue to score to keep it close. They will not: Atlanta 38-Raiders 20
Atlanta/Raiders over 48
I mean if you just read the last line of the last paragraph and have just a little bit of knowledge about basic math, then you know that 38+20 = 58 which is > than 48. Ta Da.
St. Louis + 3.5 over the Dolphins
If you are from St. Louis or Miami and/or are starting Reggie Bush and Steven Jackson aka the only 2 players worth having on your fantasy football team, then i get the semi-interest in this game. Otherwise, watching this game is like following an alderman debate, cause you just looovveee politics. There are much more entertaining options out there boo and these 2 teams maybe on the rise but ain't no way this game gets rated higher than sunday afternoon bowling on ESPN or that either team is better than more than a fg than the other. Rams 23-Fins 21
Cowboys +3.5 over Baltimore
This game smells suspicious. The Ravens with only 1 loss going against an inconsistent Cowboys team that just got shellacked at home on Monday Night against my beloved Bears. It's easy to say that the Ravens will crush the Cowboys, but my keen gambling radar thinks otherwise. The Cowboys generally shine when they are written off. Romo rarely follows a shitty performance with another one. The Ravens win but they don't dominate, barely beating the Chiefs last week and holding on against the Browns and Patriots at home the weeks before that. Yep my radar is definitely ringing on this one, this game will be nip and tuck all the way Ravens 24 Cowboys 23
In less more important news:
Kudos to Bud Selig with all 4 divisional playoff games going to a deciding game 5. It's hilarious to me how everyone is jumping on A-Rod for being awful in the playoffs this year, um it's what injured 37 year olds are suppose to play like, mmm still spoiled by steroids we are (in my Yoda voice, feel free to use your Yoda voice as well). Maybe Miguel Cabrera will win the AL MVP this year but last night Justin Verlander showed who wins Championships. Will Dusty Baker ever catch a break? For that matter what about Dale Earnhardt Jr. ? Last week the Bears won, the Packers loss and my fantasy football team went 3-0, whoa!!! I mean I probably could have bought a prostitute and got a free BJ with that kind of week. I probably could have went on a date and the girl actually had something interesting to say. Ok that's maybe pushing it, I'm just saying that's a good week.
Dueces!!!
