Week 9 Declaration

Okay, the 2nd half of the season begins this weekend.

A pretty mediocre week, but we’re going to find out a lot. In close games I have
ARI > CHI, BAL > CIN, NYG > SD, PHI > DAL, PIT > DEN

As much as I don’t like the Giants or Eagles, their opponents are even more suspect.

If the Chiefs win this weekend, I will officially claim that the ESPN experts are worthless and rank myself over them. Someone should tell them that Pick ‘Em and Accusore are beating…all of them!
The Sunday countdown picks look almost identical…

 Locks to come, riding a steady 66%.

EightBall MNF

I think the Colts might be done with their blowout period.
Not sure what happened to the Giants. And the Broncos finally are exploited. Cardinals? Come on…
Other than that, I still hate Brett Favre and nothing else happened this week.

Okay, the Falcons got handled pretty well by the Cowboys and Romo last week. This week? The Saints.
Okay, the Saints defense has improved this year, but last two weeks they gave up 27 and 34 to the Giants/Dolphins respectively.

MNF:
People are still down on the Falcons, but they’ll make the playoffs. This will be a good, high-scoring game. Either the Burner Turner gets his game going or Matt Ryan goes for 300. The Saints obviously will score…a lot.
This time the Falcons offense keeps them in the game, but not enough.
Saints 38 – Falcons 31

Wk 8 Lcks

17-8 overall.
This is a pretty tough week, only the strong survive.
7 of 13 spreads are within 4 points, and the rest at least a 10 point difference.
Big disparity.

CHI -13 vs CLE
NYG -1.5 vs PHI
MIA @ NYJ OVER 40.5

Keep an eye on: IND -12.5, MIN/GB >47.5, SEA/DAL >46, ARI -10

If were to pick a real upset, it would be…Seattle over Dallas. Both teams are overrated, anything can happen.

Banned

LJ just got BANNED, he used the word “fag” on twitter, and then did multiple bashes of Todd Haley. That’s kind of funny, anyways, Jamaal Charles anyone?

I hate to keep saying this, but what the hell!? How many times do I just have to question these experts at ESPN? No one picked the Bills to win? Dude, the Panthers suck, and the Bills are coming off a decent win against the Jets. I don’t know…The Giants just got demolished by Brees, yet Warner and his WRs can’t win against them? I don’t know how much thought they put into that, but obviously not a lot.

2-1 in the locks last week, 4-2 including non-locks. I guess I forgot to mention I picked the Bills too. But the Falcons really disappointed, no doubt about that.

Nothing else too exciting happened. The Bengals demolished the Bears, the Saints are good (pretty sure I said that last week…), and the Cardinals pulled off an important upset.

Colts anyone? It’s been a while since we’ve seen that kind of blowout by them. They’re looking pretty stellar. Obviously their run defense and offense is still a question. A large question…They have an easy schedule though, and the hardest team they’ve played so far are the 4-2 Cardinals, and that was not a good game.

Seven Locks

Finally got my computer back.

15-7 Overall. Let’s pick it up.

ATL @ DAL
ARI @ NYG OVER 47
NE -15 @ TB

I like MIN, NO -7, IND -14
But don’t take my word for it…

Late Week Six Capper

Experts, what? Only one of them had nine right, and Pick ‘Em contestants had 10 right. The legitimacy of that whole operation is going downhill, fast.

One person picked Texans>Bengals? Two picked Chiefs>Redskins. Two picked Cardinals>Seahawks…guys, seriously? I not only picked these three teams to win in all my pick ‘ems but also threw some cash down. How can all of them be that bad to not even go the upset route? Seriously, I know there are down weeks, but all of those teams were great upset picks.

Get over the Hasselbeck hype already people, he’s inconsistent and had a 4 TD game against the JAGUARS! A bottom tier pass defense.
Vikings get lucky again, the Saints are GOOD.
The Steelers are still not that good.
Wow, Jets and Eagles. The Jets have fallen apart since beating NE. Once the Broncos lose, I can see that happening to them as well. And the Raiders, going from 7-44 to 13-9, good turnaround.
And the Ravens defense is nonexistent.

How I see it: Saints>Giants – Colts>Patriots (Championship games)
At this point, how can you go against the Colts or Saints?

Oh yea, got a promotion at RE, I am now head of the scouts department/player updates. Big stuff ahead.

Sainthood

This is a make or break week. A lot of potential upsets/close games. Seran preperados.

Haven’t been able to update as much without a computer, but here it is.

13-6 overall.

BAL @ MIN OVER 43.5
BUF @ NYJ -10
ARI @ SEA

All right…What?

I’m not surprised the Bengals are good, I am surprised they have beaten the Packers, Steelers, and Ravens though. Anyone predict this? Anyone?
Yeah…
The Broncos are impressing me, I can’t deny it anymore. Still, they are going to lose to the Chargers, and the AFC may be worse than the NFC this year…haven’t decided yet. Pretty sure I picked the Broncs to beat the Browns, that’s it, that’s how bad I am.

Locks = 2-0 this week, and I see NYJ is -3 now, STILL going with it.

Here is my “WHAT” column.

Bills – WHAT?
Derek Anderson – WHAT?
Jacksonville – WHAT?
Tom Brady in the 2nd half – WHAT?
Tony Romy sucks without Miles Austin getting him 50+ YAC – WHAT?
Houston running the ball on the goal line with Schaub and AJ – WHAT?
Raiders…eh

A pretty predictable week. Let’s get some early thoughts in on next week.
SD>DEN / NO>NYG / BAL>MIN / ATL>CHI

Oh yea, so how do the Dolphins have a chance tonight? I keep hearing this, is it true? The Jets defend the run, and Henne does what with it? I don’t know…
Jets 24 – Dolphins 13

Busted Up

Busted my computer about 4 days ago. 4-2 last week, 11-5 overall.

NYJ -2 @ MIA
PIT @ DET OVER 44
ATL @ SF
