That's how I looked after last week's picks, lol. Last week was HORRENDOUS. So horrendous that I am now TIED for first place in my Pick'Em league. Now I've gotta try to get myself back ahead by a couple picks/points. This week's peeks seem relatively easy with a couple of exceptions.
I've changed my team name this week to "ZORNucopia" in honor of the abundance of media attention the shytuation in Washington has received, albeit negative. His days are numbered. You know. I know it. He knows it.
As for my picks this week...
Green Bay over Cleveland. Cleveland stinks. That is all. Instead of giving advice to Terrell Pryor, maybe LeBron should be giving advice to the Eric Mangini.
San Diego over Kansas City. After losing that divisional game at home against the undefeated Broncos I don't see the Chargers dropping this game. San Diego always likes to make the season dramatic/suspenseful in the AFC West by under-performing for a third of the season and then going on the roll they should have started the season with, late in the season when their backs are up against the wall. One thing is for sure to me though from what I've seen from the Chargers, LT is not who he used to be. I don't know who has fallen off more of a cliff, him or Clinton Portis. They both stay injured, they both are getting "old for RBs", and they both used to be good if not great.
Indy over St. Louis. This is going to be U-G-L-Y! Peyton Manning has thrown for 300+ yards every game this season and now he's got the Rams defense to torch after the Colts come off a BYE WEEK. He might throw for 400+ this week if the Rams actually put up a fight.
Minnesota over Pittsburgh. I am NOT picking against Brett and Adrian again until they lose. This may very well be the week that they lose (they will NOT be going undefeated) but until then, I'm going to stick with picking them. This is the opposite of what I will be doing with my beloved Redskins. I'll take my chances this week with them playing Pittsburgh. It's in Pittsburgh and I want to pick them but something's telling me not to.
New England over Tampa Bay. This game is going to be played in London (*yawn* unless I was going to be there to watch it) but no matter where it's played Tampa Bay just doesn't have the talent to stop New England's offense. This won't be a 59-0 blow-out, but I wouldn't be surprised if Tampa loses by more than 20.
San Fransisco over Houston. Houston is like the sleeper cell of the NFL. You never know when they'll show up. San Fran on the other hand is coached by one of my new favorite coaches, Mike Singletary. He's one of my favs because he's an old-school, hard-nosed coach that dropped his pants at halftime to let his team know they were getting their azzez kicked. How can he NOT be one of your favs after that? LMAO!
Jets over Raiders. After last week you might wonder a few things: 1) Will Sanchez have another horrible day? 2) Who will throw more interceptions, Russell or Sanchez? 3) Will the Raiders play the way they did last week in a win against Philly? 4) Will Oakland's coach punch a player this week? 5) Will Al Davis drop dead during the game? Okay, that last one wasn't nice, I take that back. The Jets defense will carry them through this game and Sanchez will get back on the right track.
Carolina over Buffalo. Buffalo sucks as much as Cleveland does. Carolina sucks less and has more talent overall. If this game were in Buffalo I'd have taken the Bills.
Chicago over Cincinnati. Chicago should win this game. If Jay Cutler pulls a douchebag-Cutler-game like he does every once in a while, they'll lose. For the record, I think Jay Cutler has the potential to be a GREAT quarterback but he just seems like he needs to be doing security at a Las Vegas tattoo parlor that only pornstars patronize (i.e. - doucheBAG!). As for the Bengals... Cincy has me confused, it's that simple.
Atlanta over Dallas. Yes, I know they're playing in Dallas and the CowGirls are coming off a bye week. But can't I just pick against the CowGirls because I can't stand that they're over-hyped EVERY YEAR and haven't done anything in YEARS!?!?! Atlanta's good enough to beat Dallas at home and I'm hoping that is the case.
New Orleans over Miami. This game is going to be a LOT closer than people probably think it will be. Miami has HEART and that can sometimes make-up for being overmatched when it comes to talent and/or offensive firepower. If New Orleans slips up, they might just get beat.
Giants over Arizona. Sorry Fitz, you guys just don't have the defense to pull this one off. It'll be a fun game to watch though.
Philly over Washington. Like I said above, I'm using the opposite strategy in the case of the Skins with regard to the strategy I'm using in the case of the Vikings. I am a FAITHFUL REDSKINS FAN, but I AM NOT... I repeat AM NOT, picking them again this year until they win a game. Philly got beat by Oakland last week but you are an idiot if you believe they're going to play that horribly against a divisional rival on Monday Night. Is this the week that Michael Vick scores a touchdown? Hmmmmnnnn...
