• Nuts. I almost forgot about my Heisman prediction. Have no clue who did what. I’m guessing Tebow will win, but I’d vote for McFadden. I’m sure Tebow got a bunch of those touchdowns by Jew 1-yard runs. That’s all I got.

• Pickkk time.

Chicago @ Washington (3.5)

Shit.

Carolina @ Jacksonville (10.5)

The Panthers win last week was due. I just hope Jacksonville doesn’t play down to their competition.

(10.5) Dallas @ Detroit

The Lion free-fall continues.

Miami @ Buffalo (7.5)

Why in the hell do I bother with this? Oh yeah, because this week will be the WEEK.

N.Y. Giants @ Philadelphia (2.5)

I still think the Giants will flounder and all, but why not pick them?

Oakland @ Green Bay (10.5)

Here’s hoping Charles Woodson returns an interception for a touchdown so I look smart. Here’s hoping Charles Woodson is actually playing this game.

Pittsburgh @ New England (11.5)

Let’s see. Who did the Steelers lose to on the road this year: Cardinals, Broncos, Jets. Couple that with the guy who ran his mouth this week about guaranteeing a win and I’ll take the Pats. Steelers will score 17.

(1.5) San Diego @ Tennessee

Tennessee finished strong last year. They’ll stumble this year. I have no proof to back this up.

St. Louis @ Cincinnati (6.5)

I think somebody important is hurt for the Rams. Or was it the Bengals? Uh oh.

(3.5) Tampa Bay @ Houston

Somebody’s got to win the NFC South.

Arizona @ Seattle (7.5)

Sure. I’ll take the Cardinals. No idea why because they’ll probably fall like a house of cards.

(8.5) Minnesota @ San Francisco

Time for the Vikings to make a playoff run where they will lose in the first round.

(3.5) Cleveland @ N.Y. Jets

Ew. Only 3.5 points? Somebody’s hurt.

Kansas City @ Denver (6.5)

Somebody’s got to win this game: But 6.5?

(9.5) Indianapolis @ Baltimore

Will the Ravens be drained from their game with the Pats? I sure hope so.

(4.5)New Orleans @ Atlanta

You know, for as bad as the Falcons have been this year, from the predictions I heard before the season began they don’t seem to be that terrible. Then again, the Dolphins are 0-16. So remember, if you finish first in the Special Olympics, you still finished first in the Special Olympics.
