Green Bay v. Detroit (27-15)
A funny thing happened while watching the Thanksgiving Day edition of PTI. Micheal Wilbon in an attempt to justify his ludicrous salary over at ESPN (I don’t know what he makes, but whatever it is its too much) attempted to demonstrate his skills by calling upsets in not one, not two, but all three holiday games. Well after going 0-3 I guess we know why Wilbon is paid the big bucks, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE RETARDED. In this case there was no way that barring some mammoth let down at QB, that Detroit who had been reeling for weeks was going to pull off this upset. If you are like me I hope you bet hard against the Lions (one of my last weeks’ picks) and cashed in big time. As for all the Suh drama, whatever, the two game suspensions sucks if you are a fan of his, but in the long run it might actually HELP his rep and results on the field by making opponents fearful of him and letting that fear swim in their domes to the point of bad decisions. Suh should never have requested that meeting with Roger Goodell because all it did was increase the chances he was going to get suspended (now and in the future) because he has no excuse what is acceptable and what isn’t.
Lastly, on the Suh front did anyone get a kick out of the way he talks? For someone who acts all big and bad he must have the whitest high pitched voice of any black athlete going. My top 5 white sounding black athletes of all time….
- Suh
- Randy Moss
- Albert Haynesworth
- Dwight Howard
- Grant Hill
Miami at Dallas (19 v. 20)
Another loss for Wilbon pick-wise, and while it was also another loss for me, at least my loss was against the spread as I had the Cowboys winning all the way. What really bites about this loss is that had Romo not thrown those two picks early in the game, the Cowboys probably would have covered. The good news if you are a Dolphins fan is that this team has shown a lot of punch lately, and if they had played this way all season they probably would have been in the wildcard hunt. I don’t if the team suddenly woke up one day and decided they all of a sudden loved Tony Sporano and decided to start playing homes games or if Serena promised to stop attending games but this team is pretty hot right now. And while Dallas looks great right now too (especially with a new found running game), the problems Dallas has in the secondary are only going to become more pronounced as they play tougher teams. This is a huge red flag for all Cowboys fans so be ready.
San Fran v. Baltimore (6 v. 16)
Baltimore continues to be the Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde of the NFL as they put away another quality team, and are thus certainly prepping to lose to another cupcake squad like the Seahawks. For the moment though Baltimore looked good even without Ray Lewis, and if they can continue to be dominant at Defensive Line, this team will be tough to beat in the playoffs. That is of course if St. Louis, Seattle, Buffalo or Jacksonville somehow get into the playoffs.
Minny v. Atlanta (14-24)
No big surprises here, mediocre team beats up on terrible team at their home. Minny showed some heart with Adrian Peterson, but Leslie Frazier’s terrible coaching (plays called and non-challenges) are proving that terrible coaching will always trump talent. Believe that.
Cleveland v. Cincy ( 20-23)
Wow was there a Peyton Hillis sighting in this one? Yes indeed there was, as Peyton Hillis seemed to have fully recovery from his hysterectomy and decided to join the rest of the NFL. Hillis didn’t look superb, but if you are a Hillis fantasy owner like me you are just happy that this sissy finally decided to put down his purse and play. He’s got a tough match up against Balitmore, but 50 yards and a TD would help a lot Hillis (although I have locked up 1st place in fantasy regular season and basically have the next two weeks off). As for Andy Dalton and the Bengals, things look good. The Dalton to Green connection looks tremendous, the Bengals D is solid, Benson is running well and Marvin Lewis has managed to get this team turned around really quickly and in a really tough division. Even more good news for the Bengals?? Dalton easily looks like the ROY.
Tampa v. Tennessee (17-23)
Didn’t I tell you the Bus were overrated? Didn’t I????????????????? I would trust Tony Parker in a room alone with my girl more then I would trust the Bucs. There is nothing other then Lagrette Blount that I like about this team and I would rather support a terrible team then a fake good but really terrible team like the Bucs because at least then your hopes aren’t dashed on the regular and you know where you stand (which is somewhere in the middle of the draft order every year).
Carolina v. Indy (27-19)
The spread was only at -3 for the Panthers, and if they had lost this game I would have flown down to Carolina, whipped out my cock and slapped Cam Newton with it. Seriously. I know I said I would give Newton a chance until next year, but if Vick 2.0 kept celebrating and pretending to be SuperMan when his team was 2-9 all bets would have been off….much like my belt. Indy Luck is all yours. Manning you had a great career but there’s nothing left for you, enjoy the booth or coaching.
Arizona v. St. Louis (23-20)
Yawn game, except for Patrick Peterson. Peterson is great, but I can’t believe some clowns are actually saying they would take him over Hester. Hester is the greatest special teams player of all time, Peterson has been in the league 5 minutes, so come on now.
Buffalo v. NY Jets (24-28)
The Bills lose a game despite the Jets doing everything possible to give it to them, which also has the added effect of ending their season as I don’t see them doing anything with this kind of effort (and Ryan Fitzpatrick contract which has turned into a massive roadblock given that Ryan Fitz has ceased to give a fuck). As for Stevie Johnson (a.k.a. T.O. 4.0, after Calvin Johnson and Brandon Marshall) the TD celebration was great and in response to your question did not cost you the game. It was your two brutal drops late in the game that cost you and the Bills the game. If it weren’t for Mercedes Lewis you would be holding the 1 and 2 spot for worst drop of the year. You still have number two locked up though so that’s something.
Houston v. Jacksonville (20-13)
Solid win by Houston who overcame a third string QB to win the game. I don’t know, did Matt Leinhert break Bob Sanders’ record for quickest starter to go on the IR?? He didn’t??? I want to see proof. As for the Jags, what did they think was going to happen? You don’t sign any marquee free agents especially at WR, you live wayyyyy under the Cap, you ride your RB into the ground, and you cut your starting QB 5 days before the start of the season (and have done this twice now)??? Are you really surprised?? If you are you’re retarded. Anyway terrible management and a terrible organization, enjoy L.A.
Oakland v. Chicago (20-25)
Ouch, it really sucks now if you are a Bears fan because the new guy at QB looks terrible. I don’t even want to learn his name because he will be gone in a matter of weeks so I don’t want to burn the brain cells. Culter is out for 3-10 weeks, and if you are a Bears fan I suggest you light a candle, go stand outside Solider field and pray that he comes back on the shorter end of that spectrum . As for the Palmer haters, where are they now? Why were people so quick to hate on Palmer when he was a probowl QB playing in a terrible situation with the Bengals. I have always said its worth giving up a first rounder to get a franchise guy and Palmer’s only knock is that he’s a little old. Other than that, gimmie a franchise player for a draft pick any day.
Washington v. Seattle (23-17)
Did Washington just win in Seattle? Did Washington just win on the road??? Did Washington just win?????!?? Holy Shit when did that happened? But yes its true after 6 brutal losses in a row the Skins rode Roy Helu (fuck I drafted this kid and regret cutting him now) to victory. Despite Shannahan’s terrible coaching sans-Elway, Helu looks like a star.
New England v. Philly (38-20)
How was the spread in this only -3 for the Patriots??? I don’t care that this game was being played in Philly (hell I don’t care if this game was being played on Mars), there was no way this Pats team was losing to Philly team playing without Vick, without Maclin and without Desean jackson’s heart. Philly is going to be blown up like those hotels at the end of Casino and the first bomb is going off in the coach’s office. Believe that.
Denver v. San Diego (16-13)
I have no idea what’s going on, I really don’t. Either Tebow is the luckiest guy who ever lived or the All Mighty is a football fan. I am at a total loss, because even a no heart San Diego team should have been able to gut out a win at home against the Broncos. It looks like a race to the unemployment line for Norv Turner and Andy Reid, the good news for Turner is that it’s a race he probably wins. As for the rest of the Chargers I have no idea what’s going on and why they look this bad in all three phases of the game, but I do know that I TOLLLLLLLLLDDDDDD YOU!!!! I told you they looked brutal even at 4-1!!!! Something is wrong with this team!!!! I don’t know what it is but I tollllllldddddd you!!!!!!
Pittsburgh v. KC (13-9)
Well the clock is about to strike midnight on whatever clown is currently QBing the Chiefs because now that they have gotten Orton its all him. Not only that but if Orton does well, it means the Chiefs will probably be looking to shop around Matt Cassell and probably get at least a second round pick for him, which essentially means that KC got a better QB and a second round pick for the price of, on the house (i.e. for nothing). Who says the trade deadline shouldn’t be pushed back?? Although I am really tired of this Broncos nonsense and this feel bad for us sob story. Why in the World did you just release Orton? That was your own stupidity and a knee jerk reaction to make Tebow feel better after your own Gm trashed him by stating that he had next to no confidence in him. This chicken shit move is similar to the transparent scam the Redskins pulled last year when they attempted to coddle and placate their starting QB with some phony B.S. (in the Redskins case it was that fake-ass 100 million dollar contract they had no intention of paying given that only 2 percent was guaranteed). I see through your B.S. NFL bigwigs, I see through it all. I hope this move comes back to bite you in the ass Broncos and Orton trounces you twice a year from now on due to your own stupidity. If you kept Orton you could have dealt him to some QB starved squad , gotten something in return and kept him out of your division.
Giants v. Saints (24 -49)
Absolute Bloodbath. I don’t care what the score says this game was nowhere near being close as the Saints had this game one early and were just toying with the G-men (that or the Saints play no defense, hmmmmm). The Giants are crumbling around the same time they do every year, and the NFC East is now the Cowboys division to lose. PLEASE DON”T LOSE IT COWBOYS
WEEK 13 PICKS
GOLD – TENNESSEE (-1) OVER BUFFALO
SILVER- OAKLAND (+3) OVER MIAMI
BRONZE- DENVER (+1) OVER MINNY
