 Since the response to my "Pick 'Ems" attempt was so overwhelmingly positive, I'm going to go ahead with the rest of Week 13...y'know, for you people. First, just to let you know, I love the NFL. There's nothing better to me than wasting away a Sunday by watching some good ole football. I do fancy myself as someone who knows a thing or two about the game, but I don't claim to be a genius. I have no idea how to gamble on games, nor do I care to. I just think it's fun to pick the winners and educatedly guess at the score, so that one day I might get one right. Alas, the time is nigh... The best running back in football is Adrian Peterson. He's a little dinged up, but with him and Chester Taylor tandeming the Minnesota backfield, I don't see Detriot putting up to much of a fight on defense. The Lion offense has weapons, and face a favorable matchup against the aging Viking defense. However, I see the A-Train being too much for the Lions. Lions 17, Vikings 31. Both Brian Westbrook and Donovan McNabb look like weak bets to play on Sunday against the Seahawks, who are inexplicably 7-4 and in first in the NFC West. Shaun Alexander has reportedly "looked good" in practice, but given his horrid season, that could be an ambiguous assessment. This is a pretty hard one to guess, but I'll take the 'Hawks in this one, especially since A. J. Feely can't possibly do what he did against New England again. Seahawks 24, Eagles 20. The Chargers should take this one, despite Norv Turner's coaching. As much as I like Herman Edwards, he doesn't have much with Brodie Croyle at quarterback right now. My boy Dwayne Bowe (LSU Alum--Geaux Tigers) is the best rookie wide receiver in the NFL. Just sayin'. Also, Larry Johnson has been ruled out for this one, and the San Diegans...San Diegons?...San Diegogans?...seem hell bent on making the playoffs. You stay classy, San Diego. Chargers 34, Chiefs 10. Guh. Another tough game to call, both teams are downright bad. I think the Jets might actually be on the wrong side of awful at the moment, as the Dolphins at least have some intriguing rookies in John Beck and Tedd Ginn, Jr. I don't even know the running backs for these two teams, either. I'll take the Dolphins to ruin ESPN's fun covering an 0-16 team. Jets 13, Dolphins 17. Jacksonville @ Indianapolis Okay, I'm going to admit something here. I actually think Peyton Manning is absolutely hilarious. I know he's on every commercial during every NFL telecast, but those Pep Talks are indeed priceless. I read somewhere that David Garrard hasn't thrown a pick yet this year...if that's correct, I'm impressed. That's better than His Highness Brady or Lord Manning to this point. I'll take the Colts, though. Jaguars 20, Colts 30. I watched last week's Saints/Panthers game, and boy are the Panthers bad. Fancy Fingers David Carr was actually booed for some schmuck named Matt Moore, and undrafted rookie free agent out of Oregon State. 73 year old Vinny Testaverde starts for the Panthers, making Steve Smith a better player immediately. I want the Panthers to lose, for the Saints' sake, so I'll pick the Niners on the strength of strong showings from Frank Gore and Vernon Davis. 49ers 27, Panthers 17. This will be a fairly interesting game to those who care. I think Vince Young is too much for the Texans, once again, and the Titans come out ahead in this one, despite the Schaub-Johnson connection. Texans 17, Titans 24. Wow...I could completely care less. Gus Frerotte, Mr. Headbutt himself, quarterbacks the Rams and Byron Leftwich leads the Falcons in this one. I feel sorry for whoever has to watch this "game." How can you have a backfield consisting of Warrick Dunn and Jerrious Norwood and be completely inept on offense? Be a Falcons coach. I'll take the Cardinals over the Braves here. Falcons 13, Rams 34. I can't help but feel for the Redskins. The Sean Taylor thing was entirely tragic, no matter the circumstances. Fellow LSU Alum LaRon Landry runs the heavy-hearted, yet inspired Redskin defense over Buffalo. Bills 9, Redskins 21. The Derek Anderson-Braylon Edwards-Kellen Winsow-Jamal Lewis freak roadshow takes on the bionic arm of grocery store stock boy Kurt Warner. Arizona still can't find the magic, even with all that talent on offense. Browns 31, Cardinals 23. The petrified corpse of Daunte Culpepper has no business starting in the NFL. He's basically a statue back there, and the sooner Oakland gets LSU Alum JaMarcus Russell uner center, the sooner they'll start playing better and begin winning some games. Jay Cutler is a great quarterback waiting to happen, and he continues to put it together against the Raiders. Broncos 35, Raiders 20. I'm not going to be like other people out there and make some lame joke about Eli being semi-retarded (though I do enjoy those jokes). Because, that's just not like me. However, he is struggling mightely right now, and I think the Bears Devin Hester will come out on top here. This will probably be a good game, as Eli can't possibly be as bad as he was last week. He threw more touchdowns for the Vikings than Tarvaris Jackson. Ouch. Giants 12, Bears 26. This is a huge game for the Saints. I take particular interest in this one for obvious reasons...I hate Jeff Garcia. In fact, this game's outcome probably hinges on whether Garcia plays for the Bucs. It looks as though he won't, and that puts Luke McCown at the helm for Tampa Bay. Joey Galloway absolutely gashes the Saints, catching at least one touchdown in his last six games against them. With Jason David lined up on him this Sunday, he should catch about 37 balls for 655 yards. All for nought, as the Saints play with purpose and move to 6-6, one game out of first in the NFC South. Impartial as ever, GO SAINTS! Buccaneers 16, Saints 30. Am I alone on the planet where I think Chad Johnson is funny? He's actually getting lame, but as the good folks over at Thunder Matt's Saloon put it, the stunt where he was carried out on the stretcher was his best to date. Pittsburgh is just better here. Bengals 21, Steelers 23. The Monday nighter. Tom Brady's a handsome som'gun. ESPN would have me assassinated if I use my powers for good instead of evil, so in fear of my life, I must proclaim...Patriots 107, Ravens -36. Seriously, I'll take the Pats to keep it going. Patriots 41, Ravens 20. Whew...that was hard. I promise this will get better as the season winds down. I'm not feeling that great today, and I kinda phoned this one in. That's what she said. Have a good Friday, kids. Labels: NFL Picks
