soo. this weekend sucked.
So besides having to watch the 1:00 and most of the 4:00 games at work, the weekend for football pretty much blew.
ok, ok.. my lock pick still hasnt played yet, but it really wasnt that good of a weekend.
I ended up taking
CLE
TB
PIT
SF
so 2 wrong, 2 right. but my survivor pick.... yup, i guess i'll still make them, pick it as if the chargers had actually won this weekend, and see how i woulda ended up doin if i decided to go wit GB instead (my second choice this week).
so a little recap of what i said and what actually happened.
BAL (-4) @ CLE
- partly because last week i knew the cards would cover against the ravens, and they did. The Browns are playing at home against the old Browns. Granted the Ravens are NOTHING like the old Browns, but McNair's old, Ray Lewis is hurt, and Jamal Lewis is pissed that Baltimore let him go. They might not win, but they'll cover. Pick: BROWNS
excluding the fact that the browns actually win, i was spot on.
TB @ CAR (-3)
- Jeff Garcia looks like the 06 playoffs Jeff Garcia or the early 2000's regular season Jeff Garcia, even in Carolina, no TB cornerback is gonna give the Panthers the gift that DeAngelo Hall gave them last week. Pick: BUCS
The panthers did give the bucs a sour ass gift, losing cadillac williams for the season. sore losers.
CHI (-3) @ DET
- Kitna has alot of heart, but heart only takes you so far (Bernard Hopkins against Winky Wright doesnt count), and while Griese is a brand new starter this year, and the Lions offense looks good, i mean, they are still playing the Chicago Defense. Pick: BEARS
i really might have to start changing my 'heart and nothing else' theory.
STL @ DAL (-13)
- I hate the Cowboys. but no stephen jackson and the way the rams been playing, Dallas wins and covers at home. Pick; DALLAS
these are the times i hate when i'm right. f*** dallas.
GB (-1.5) @ MIN
- Dan Marino Who? Brett Favre is about to break Marino's touchdown record. But the Vikings are still division rivals, and they're playing in Minnesota. but its Kelly Holcomb, Green Bay shockingly moves to 4-0 and covers. Pick: GREEN BAY
could he challenge the golden arm as best qb ever? favre is good bro. he's still really good.
HOU (-3) @ ATL
- Whats up with former Hokie Falcons? Matt Schaub is gonna feel like he's got something to prove. and without their best corner for a quarter or two, and Andre Johnson coming back, yup, they shouldn't of let Schaub go. At least we're gonna get to see Leftwich in the game. Pick: HOUSTON
two weeks ago, i said that joey harrington wouldn't be able to handle the pressure with leftwich coming in. i've always been a fan of joey harrington, always believed in him. and when i stop, that's when he starts showing up. go figure.
DEN @ IND (-9.5)
- Am i the only one who thinks the broncos look suspect this year? apparently not, since the vegas is giving them 9.5. it's still not enough points, Indy's been in two close games since blowing out the saints, and theyre due for another. Pick: COLTS
they are still the defending champs. and denver still likes to suck.
OAK @ MIA (-4)
- OK, they're playing at home. and they havent won a game yet. and the raiders have blown two close games, and we're still nowhere closer to seeing JaMarcus Russel on the field yet. it doesnt matter tho. raiders don't just cover, they win. Pick: RAIDERS
its kinda funny since back in the day, playing NFL2K1 on the dreamcast, my personally drafted team had Daunte Culpepper running all over the league to a super bowl season. i finally got to see what my personally picked qb for raider nation would do in real life. only its 7 years later..
NYJ (-3.5) @ BUF
- Ok, so I hear that Thomas Jones just got his girl Megan Goode pregnant. That would almost be enough to make me pick the Bills alone, but JP Losman, i dont know you think you are. Pick: JETS
damn you thomas jones. losers dont deserve megan goode.
PHI (-3) @ NYG
- NY looked better in the second half last week than they have all season, call it a sign of things to come or call it a fluke. these are both two teams i really dont like, but PHI put up 56 last week, and even if it was against the lions, they're playing teh Giants defense this week. Even at the meadowlands, wouldn't suprise me to see the eagles hit at least 40. Pick: EAGLES
im mad that we really couldve ended the giants season last week realistically, and now at 2-2, they're right back in the thick of things.
PIT (-6) @ ARZ
- Man, seems like I've been pickin all the favorites, but there's a reason, they're the better bet with these lines. Steel Town's been playing out of its mind lately, and whoever is back there for the Cards, Leinart or Warner, is gonna feel like a third string this week. Pick: STEELERS
i really dont know what to say about this one. every week im like, i should take PIT, they'll cover, but i never do, and they always cover. this week, i actually took em, how's that for a slap to the face.
KC @ SD (-11.5)
- That's what you get for hiring Norv Turner. The Bolts need SOMETHING, and it might just be a game, at home, against a team that sucks. Congratulations SD, you've been granted both them things. just don't think you're making a statement by covering against KC, cuz well, you're not. Pick: CHARGERS
Norv Turner. you cant keep f***in me over like this.
SEA (-2) @ SF
- Don't let last week fool you. Shaun Alexander's playing hurt, and Frank Gore's gonna hit at least 110 against the seahawks. Pick: NINERS
yeah. so much for that.
Total (so far): 6-7
so now i need NE to win tonight to just break even in my picks for this week. shootout, here we come.
