Weekly responsibilities
Oct 27, 2007 2007 Season, Posts that list too many players, Predictions Guaranteed To Go Wrong, Teams that aren't the Texans
Ugh. A Friday without internet access at work. I was way too productive yesterday. I’m mailing some of these in, by the way. So consider yourself warned.
Last week: 6-8. The slide continues.
Season: 58-44
Week 8 Picks
Byes: Kansas City Chiefs, Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys, Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens
Detroit @ Chicago. One half of a phone conversation made prior to last week’s games: “Hey, Kris? Yeah. This is Brian. Brian Griese. So, uhh, I was just wondering if you still had Satan’s phone number? Why? Oh, well, you know…I just saw you hit that 57-yarder and, well, if it works for you, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work for me.” Of course, the good news is this makes the QB matchup in this game one of massive religious consequence. Pick: Chicago.
Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati. Pierogi v. Skyline Chili. Hmm. I do love me some pierogi. Pick: Pittsburgh
New York Giants “@” Miami. I don’t really care one way or the other if the NFL plays games in countries outside America. Maybe it’s a good idea. Whatever. Regardless, the Dolphins suck in any time zone. Pick: New York Giants
Philadelphia @ Minnesota. Here’s the thing. After watching Brian Greise put together a game-winning drive against Philly, I want to pick Minnesota. Except Minny’s QB situation makes Brian Greise look like Joe Montana. Pick: Philadelphia
Cleveland @ St. Louis. I’m still not over the Indians game. Pick: St. Louis
Indianapolis @ Carolina. Pick: Indianapolis
Oakland @ Tennessee. Pick: Oakland
JUGGERNAUT @ San Diego. So, the game is in San Diego as planned after all. Shady San Diegans; I swear that started that fire just to throw the location and time of the game into confusion. They know they can’t beat us straight up. Cheaters. Pick: San Diego
Jacksonville @ Tampa Bay. David Garrard should find success against this Tampa Bay defense, especially if they are able to establish MoJo Drew and the running game. What? What’s that? Out four weeks? Questionable? Pick: Tampa Bay
Buffalo @ New York Jets. Buffalo has wings. Jets have wings. Weird. Also weird? That the Bills beat Baltimore last week. Raise your hot-sauce-covered hand if you saw that one coming. Pick: Buffalo
Washington @ New England. To the best of my knowledge, Jason Campbell has not had sex with any supermodels. Which really isn’t determinative for this game, but I sure it means something. Somewhat related, to the best of knowledge, Carlos Rogers has yet to stop any WRs. Ever. Pick: New England.
New Orleans @ San Francisco. Pick: New Orleans
Green Bay @ Denver. It’s like Super Bowl XXXIII, but not. I’m just glad that I get Favre back for my fantasy team, because Matt Schaub would have been more help had he just not shown up last week. Pick: Green Bay

I was all over Buffalo last week. I even talked a Ravens fan into giving me the spread. I’m now one bottle of Johnnie Walker richer. They dominate at home for some reason.
I’m also back to picking against the Texans when we’re probably not going to win. It worked for me against Carolina. Every week since that game I’ve picked us to win and it hasn’t really worked out. Don’t let me down, scumbags.

Nash. Nice. I should let you make the picks one week. God knows I am sucking lately.
Patrick. You said it, brother. I was listening on the radio as we were driving back to Little Rock. After the Cromartie INT TD, I might have threatened to drive us off the road. The wife was non-plussed.
