NFL Recap - Divisional Round

We didn't have quite the success we did last week as far as picking the game winners, but we did get 3 out 4 with the spread. We're not 6-2 vs. the spread in the post-season. We're also 6-2 merely picking the winner of the game.

Cowboys -7.5 vs. Giants Cowboys 31 Giants 20
Thankfully we were so wrong on this one. If winning the game is wrong, then we don't want to be right. GO GIANTS

Packers -8 vs. Seahawks:
We thought the Seahawks were phonies and despite a couple of quick scores, we were so right. We picked the Pack, 30-17. They laid it to he Hawks even more so, 42-20

Jaguars +13 at Patriots:
We thought the Jags could keep it close and thanks to some great play David Garrard, we were right. We said Patriots 31 Jaguars 21 - the final, 31-20. Not bad at all!

Chargers +8.5 vs. Colts:
We had the Chargers covering and we almost had the score exactly again. Only problem is we had the wrong team winning. We said, Colts 27 Chargers 23 - the final, Chargers 28 Colts 24.

And in case you didn't realize it already,
GO GIANTS!

Wild Card Wrap

Well we picked all 4 games correctly for the winner and got 3 of 4 with the points.

We said take the Giants and the 3 points. A great win- more for the Giants than us. Now if they could only beat Dallas.

We said the Seahawks would win a nail biter over the Skins. Well it was a nail biter early in the 4th with the Skins on top. Then the Hawks crushed them. WRONG

Jags -2.5 at Steelers. Yes! With the points and outright!

Chargers -10 at Titans
Much closer game than we thought, but we were right in both cases again!

NFL Recap - Week 17

We weren't lying when we said the games of week 17 was the hardest to predict. We were completely shocked by the Giants game effort. Hopefully it carries over to the playoffs.

No one more stunned than us. WRONG

Lame, lame, lame..Mangini-lame. WRONG

NFL Recap - Week 16

It was a decent week with Big Blue finally clinching a playoff spot. We've been avoiding sports talk radio so we don't have to hear the endless debate about who the Giants should play in Saturday night's game vs. the Patriots.

Giants -3 at Bills
Down 14-0 in minutes, we were ready to throw a remote control in earnest for the 1st time since game 5 of the 1994 NHL Eastern Conference Finals. Then the Giants dominated and all was right with the world. RIGHT

Steelers -7.5 at Rams
Blow out city. Unfortunately for the Steelers, Willie Parker's fibula also got blown away. RIGHT

Cowbys -10.5 at Panthers
Jessica Simpson was nowhere to be found, but the Cowboys still barely beat the Panthers. WRONG

Browns -3 at Bengals
Browns blew a chance to help seal up the wild card. Now they are at the mercy of the Colts-Titans. WRONG

Packers -8.5 at Bears
A blow out.....except the wrong team won. WRONG

Colts -7 vs Texans
The Peytons crushed. RIGHT

Chiefs +5 at Lions
The big push. PUSH

Jaguars -13 vs. Raiders
Jags keep on rolling. RIGHT

Eagles +3 vs. Saints
Eagles are hot...too little too late. RIGHT

Cardinals -10 vs. Falcons
This is why the Cardinals should NEVER be favored by double digits. An OT win means - WRONG

Bucs -6.5 vs. 49ers
Bucs stunk out the joint. WRONG

Patriots -22 vs. Dolphins
A cake walk..and they didn't cover! 1 point shy. WRONG

Seahawks (NL) over Ravens
Seahawks cruised. RIGHT

Jets +8.5 at Titans
We knew it was too big a spread for the Titans. RIGHT

Vikings -6.5 vs. Redskins
Did not see this one coming. WRONG

Chargers -8.5 vs. Broncos
Chargers rammed the Broncos. RIGHT

Week 16 - 8-7-1
129-107-7 overall

NFL Recap - Week 15

To say Big Blue were a disappointment, would be like me saying I was upset at the 2004 ALCS. The Giants disgraced themselves at home, and though they are still in the driver's seat, they made it more difficult to clinch a wild card spot.

We'd already blown the Thursday night game, so it was probably an omen.

Giants -4.5 vs. Redskins
We don't want to talk about this any more. WRONG

Saints -4 vs. Cardinals
Drew Brees got it done. RIGHT

Bucs -13 vs. Falcons
Even more of a blow out than we though. RIGHT

Ravens -3.5 at Dolphins
Nice going Billick. WRONG

Browns -5.5 vs. Bills
8-0? Football games and school/work closings are the only things snow is good for. RIGHT

Packers -8 at Rams
You've been Favred. RIGHT

Jags +3 at Steelers
One of our best picks of the season. RIGHT

Patriots -22.5 vs. Jets
We waivered the wrong way. WRONG

Seahawks -7.5 at Panthers
How could this happen? A 13-10 loss? 10 points? WRONG

Titans -4 at Chiefs
Good job by Vince Young and co. RIGHT

Colts -10.5 at Raiders
Nice jobs by the Raid-uhs to hang in. WRONG

Chargers -10 vs. Lions
That's 6 straight losses for the Lions. RIGHT

Bengals - 8.5 at 49ers
How do you lose to the Niners? Bungles. WRONG

Cowboys 10 vs. Eagles
Really didn't see this one coming. WRONGPublish Post

Bears +10 vs. Vikings
Bears probably should have won. RIGHT

NFL Recap - Week 14

Giants +2.5 at Eagles
Big Blue was far from impressive on the offensive side of the ball, but the defense came up big. RIGHT

Bears +3 at Washington
Who knew the Skins would have the fight in them or that Todd Collins could shake off the cob webs like he did. WRONG

Browns -3.5 at Jets
Jets played them tough, but you knew what the outcome would be. RIGHT

Panthers +10.5 at Jaguars
One of the worst picks of the year. Jags destroyed them. WRONG

Cowboys -10.5 at Lions
We knew the Lions would lose, only we didn't think they would have a sizeable lead in the 4th quarter. WRONG

Bills -7 at Dolphins
Another squish of the fish. RIGHT

Packers -10.5 vs. Raiders
Very good destroys very bad. RIGHT

Chargers over Titans
Big blown lead for the Titans. RIGHT

Rams +6.5 at Bengals
We had a 50/50 chance and we took the wrong 50. WRONG

Bucs -3 at Texans
Didn't see this one coming. WRONG

Cards +7 at Seahawks
We really thought the Cards would be in this. Guess we didn't count on 5 Kurt Warner picks. WRONG

Vikings -8.5 at 49ers
A destruction as expected. RIGHT

Steelers +10.5 at Patriots
Steelers shouldn't shoot their mouths off. WRONG

Broncos -6.5 vs. Chiefs
Jay Cutler finally had a big game again. RIGHT

NFL Recap - Week 13

Bears +1.5 vs. Giants
Wow!!! We're still stunned the Giants won this game. It was the typical Coughlin 2nd half of the season loss. And then they won. We were ecstatic to be WRONG.

Packers +7 at Cowboys
Brett Favre looked like the young version of himself, trying to force passes into tight spots. WRONG.

Jets +1 at Dolphins
Even the Jets couldn't blow this one. RIGHT.

Falcons over the Rams
The Gus Frerottes actually won! WRONG.

Bills +5.5 at Redskins
Tough day for the Skins and their fans. A last second loss that paled in comparison to the loss of Sean Taylor. RIGHT.

Vikings -3.5 vs. Lions
Lions season will continue to go down the toilet with the Cowboys this week. RIGHT.

Texas +3.5 at Titans
Boy did we misjudge this one, though we didn't know Matt Schaub would get hurt again. WRONG.

Jags +6.5 at Colts
Good job by the Colts of winning it, and we were right that it would be close. RIGHT.

Chargers +5.5 at Chiefs
LT2 was LT2 again. RIGHT.

Seahawks +3 at Eagles
If A.J. Feeley hadn't thrown 7 picks the last 2 weeks the Eagles might have had 2 upsets. RIGHT.

A Panthers blow out. RIGHT.

Wow, we didn't see this one coming. But that's what turnovers will do to you. WRONG.

We should have seen this one coming. How bad are the Broncos? WRONG.

Bucs +3 at Saints
We would have been wrong here had the Saints not tried to get tricky. RIGHT.

Steelers -7 vs. Bengals
The Steelers bounced back from some "off" performances. RIGHT.

Patriots -20.5 at Ravens
We didn't see the game, but this could have easily been the 1st Pats' loss. WRONG.

9-7 for the week.

NFL Recap - Week 12

The NFL family will obviously be reeling for some time over Sean Taylor's death. It's bad enough when a player is killed in a car or plane crash, but when he's murdered in cold blood, it's even worse. Definitely makes me forget just how bad Eli Manning was this weekend or the fact that the Pats nearly lost.

All that being said, lets take a quick look at the games of week 12.

Vikings +7.5 at Giants
We're beginning to think that Eli should rearrange his first name to "Lie" as in its a lie to say he'll become a great QB. We don't need to dissect this game any more, Manning's stats speak for themselves. On the up side, we were RIGHT

Bills +8 at Jaguars
Okay, after being drubbed 2 straight weeks, we are officially off the Bills bandwagon. Which means they will probably cover next week. Right now the Jags are the 2nd best team in the AFC. WRONG

Browns -3.5 vs. Texans
A little early difficulty, but Derek Anderson continues to have a Pro Bowl season. RIGHT

Saints -2.5 at Panthers
As it turned out David Carr started for the Panthers, which made us even more confident in our pick. RIGHT

Raiders +5 vs. Chiefs
Was a tight game as expected and the Raiders won as we expected. RIGHT

Seahawks -3 at Rams
Thanks to some early sloppy play by the the Seahawks, we were worried about this one for a while. But then Marc Bulger got hurt and Gus Frerotte came in. 'Nuff said. RIGHT

Titans -1.5 at Bengals
We flip-flopped and are now kicking ourselves. Had we stayed with our original instincts, we would have been right. Then again, the Titans probably would have won. WRONG

Bucs -3.5 vs Redskins
A dull one indeed. Things will be even harder for the Skins now, who will have football as the last thing on their mind. RIGHT

Cardinals -10.5 vs. 49ers
We told you we hate big point spreads, especially when Kurt Warner is involved. This one bit us on the butt. WRONG

Bears -2 vs. Broncos
Thanks to Devon Hester and a rally from 14 down, we got this one RIGHT. This Broncos team is really hard to figure, though Mike Shanahan is beginning to look more and more like George Hamilton.

Chargers -8.5 vs. Ravens
We thought the bolts would bounce back and indeed they did. This Ravens team is just plain awful. RIGHT

Eagles +24 vs. Patriots
There was no way we were laying points with this one. We certainly didn't expect the Eagles to be leading in the 4th. But either way we were RIGHT.

Steelers +16 vs. Dolphins
Rain, mud, no offense, and another big spread bites the dust. WRONG

With our 2-1 on Thanksgiving day, that put us at 11-5 for the week. NICE!

Overall

NFL Recap - Week 11

We slept through most of the 2nd half of Big Blue's victory. Who could blame us. The game was a bore and this way we saved on aggrevation.

Giants -2.5 at Lions
The Giants nearly blew it, but this Lions team is weak. We were RIGHT

Steelers -9.5 at Jets
We said blow out. The only thing that blew was the Steelers offensive line. 7 sacks? to the Jets? We were woefully WRONG

Bengals -3 vs. Cardinals
We said this game could go either way and we right. But WRONG about who we picked.

Packers -9.5 vs. Panthers
We thought blow out on this one and this time we were easily RIGHT

Browns -2.5 vs. Ravens
Wild finish, and Phil Dawson made us RIGHT

Colts -14.5 vs. Chiefs
We kept saying we hated big spreads, and it came up and bit us on the behind in this one. A bad game for Peyton and too many Colts injuries. WRONG

Dolphins +9.5 at Eagles
We were this close, but a 10 point loss is a loss. WRONG

Saints +1.5 at Texans
We questioned the Saints being an underdog. What do we know. WRONG

Vikings -4.5 vs. Raiders
Close for a while but Chester Taylor ran the Raid-uhs into the ground. RIGHT

Jags -3 vs. Chargers
Jags got David Garrard back and the Chargers are wishing Marty was still there. RIGHT

Bucs -3 at Falcons
A non-contest, Bucs win in a romp. RIGHT

Cowboys -11 vs. Redskins
We certainly had no faith in the Skins, but they had a chance with a hail mary. Too much TO for the Skins not enough TD to cover. WRONG

Rams -3 at 49ers
I hope no one watched this Rams 13-9 win. RIGHT

Seahawks -5.5 vs Bears
A great game that had the Seahawks pull out a 30-23 win. RIGHT

Bills +16 vs. Patriots
Oof. WRONG

Broncos -2 vs. Titans
The Vince Young is superior talk sure disappeared fast. RIGHT

9-7 for the week. Overall: 84-73-6

NFL Recap - Week 10

Big Blue's big disappointment wasn't really all that shocking. The Cowboys are clearly a better team on all sides of the ball. We knew we would probably pay, thankfully not in green, for taking the Giants, but we had a good week overall.

Week 10 - 9-5 Overall: 75-64-6

Giants +1 vs. Cowboys
'nuff said WRONG

Bills -2.5 at Dolphins
Bills almost didn't pull this one off, but a FG made the difference. RIGHT

Broncos +3.5 at Chiefs
Bronc's rolled over the LJ-less Chiefs. It was good to see Priest Holmes back in uniform though. RIGHT

Jaguars +4 at Titans
This pick was no stretch. A physical Jags team against a hapless offense. RIGHT

Browns +9.5 at Steelers
Browns nearly won the game outright, but did cover. RIGHT

Packers -6 vs. Vikings
AP got hurt early on and this was never a contest. Still shocked that the spread was only 6. RIGHT

Eagles +2.5 at Redskins
The good Eagles team showed and there is no good Redskins team. RIGHT

Saints -11 vs. Rams
We didn't see this one coming; we thought the Saints had completely turned the corner. Marc Bulger had other ideas. WRONG

Panthers -4 vs. Falcons
Just how bad is this Panthers team. Vinny T played despite the bad achilles, but the Falcons won their 2nd straight. WRONG

Bengals +4 at Ravens
This Ravens team doesn't come close to resembling their super bowl squad. The Bungles have been mediocre, but they still have offense. RIGHT

Bears -3.5 at Raiders
Bears offense stinks, but 17 is still plenty against the Raiders. RIGHT

Lions +1.5 at Cards
It continues, the Lions stink on the road. WRONG

Colts -3.5 at Chargers
Special teams killed the Colts and us. WRONG

Seahawks -10 vs. 49ers
A blowout as expected. RIGHT

NFL Recap - Week 9

As good as we were in week 8, that's how bad we were in week 9.

Redskins -3.5 at Jets
Clinton Portis ran for 196 yards and the Redskins still had to go to OT for a game winning field goal. Which translates to being WRONG.

Patriots -5.5 at Colts
Great game. Unfortunately we only saw the last few minutes- right after the Pats went ahead. But they didn't go ahead by enough. WRONG again.

Titans -4 vs. Panthers
Vince Young got a little more offense going. Just a little more, but the Panthers couldn't do squat. We were RIGHT.

Bengals -1 at Bills
We said this was a coin flip game, and the coin flipped the wrong way for us. 17 unanswered points by the Bills in the 4th qtr, put us on the WRONG end.

Broncos +3 at Lions
Even though they were playing at home where their tough, we thought the Broncos would show us something after losing 2 straight. Well they did- how to get blown out on the road. WRONG

Packers +2 at Chiefs
Woo hoo, read one right. Brett Favre has now beaten every team in the NFL. RIGHT!

Saints -3 vs. Jaguars
Jags played tough for a half, but then Drew Brees blew them off the field to the tune of 445 passing yards. RIGHT

Chargers -7 at Vikings
As right as we called the Packers game, boy were we so wrong here. We thought the Chargers had totally turned the corner. But we should have known not to go against our boy Adrian Peterson. 296 yards rushing! Sooner Boomer! WRONG!

49ers +3.5 vs. Falcons
Did anyone attend or watch this game on TV? Hard to imagine any would for the complete game. Alex Smith looks like he has regressed and they have no game without Frank Gore. WRONG

Cardinals +3.5 at Bucs
We thought that Kurt Warner and Edgarrin James would beat a "playing over their heads" Bucs team. A Bucs team without their 2 top RBs. RB #3, Earnie Graham ran for 124 and a 7 point win. WRONG

Seahawks +1 at Browns
Great game, Browns win in OT. Derek Anderson is the man and he's certainly helping Romeo Crennal's job status. WRONG

Raiders -3 vs. Texans
No Matt Schaub for the Texans. We felt comfortable this lifeless Raiders team to manage a win. So of course the Texans win by 7. WRONG

Cowboys +3 at Eagles
Like we said, we were shocked the 'Boys were only 3 point favorites. A 3 TD victory means we were RIGHT.

Steelers -9 vs. Ravens
The Ravens lack of offense came thru for us. This game was over at halftime. We were RIGHT.

At least the last 2 night games were right, because we only went 5-9. :(

To Date- 66-59-6

NFL Week 8

For a variety of reasons we didn't get a chance to do our usual preview of this weekend's games, but here were our picks and the results going into Monday night.

Anyone watching the locals needed a crate of No-Doze to stay awake.

We went 8-4, going into the Monday night game.

Giants -9.5 vs. Miami in London, England.
What a waste of a trip. The weather sucked, the field sucked, the fans were great, but did they really give a fish and chips who won? We took the Giants, laying the points, and not only didn't they cover, they nearly blew the game.
Final- Giants 13 Dolphins 10 WRONG

Bills +3 vs. Jets
How in the name of the late Pete Rozelle were the Jets favored? Mangenius finally pulled Chad Pennington...but with 3:30 left in the game?
Final- Bills 13 Jets 3 RIGHT

Browns -3 at Rams
The Rams had Marc Bulger and Stephen Jackson in the starting lineup and we were tempted, but luckily we stayed with the Browns. And Jackson got hurt again.
Final- Browns 27 Rams 20 RIGHT

Bears -5 vs Lions
We don't trust the Bears, but the Lions have been notoriously bad on the road. We were so wrong on this one. This Bears team is one year removed from the big game???
Final- Lions 17 Bears 6 WRONG

Colts +7 at Panthers
David Carr or Vinny Testaverde? Did it really matter. Can the Colts just play the Pats for the AFC title game and get it over with already? Still wondering who we took?
Final- Colts 31 Panthers 7 RIGHT

Vikings -1 vs. Eagles
Kelly Holcomb was filling in for Tavaris Jackson and we thought that would be enough to take the Vikes at home. Donovan McNabb quieted the critics for a bit.
Final- Eagles 23 Vikings 16 WRONG

Steelers -4 at Bengals
This is clearly a bad Bengals football team. Marvin Lewis is a very good coach, but his head may be on the chopping block. Who had the most input for all the misfits they've either drafted or signed as free agents? We went with Mike Tomlin and his normal jaw all the way.
Final- Steelers 24 Bengals 13 RIGHT

Titans -7 vs. Raiders
Outside of Rob Bironas, the Titans have been unable to put points on the board. We still thought they'd get more than enough against the Raiders. Oops. Btw, Vince Young threw for less yards than Eli Manning!
Final- Titans 13 Raiders 9 WRONG

Chargers -10 vs. Texans
The Chargers are starting to take out their early frustration on the rest of the league. We figured they would.
Final- Chargers 35 Texans 10 RIGHT

Jaguars +3.5 at Bucaneers
No David Garrard, but we don't trust this Bucs squad. Our fears paid off.
Final- Jags 24 Bucs 23 RIGHT

Saints -1.5 at 49ers
How were the Saints favored by so little? Just because Alex Smith was back? Similar situation to the Chargers.
Final- Saints 31 49ers 10 RIGHT

Patriots -14.5 vs. Redskins
When do you not go with the Pats, when they're favored by 50? Even then they probably would find a way to cover. We're just glad they don't play the Giants until the last week of the season. Hopefully they'll call of the dogs by then.
Final- Patriots 52 Redskins 7 RIGHT

NFL Recap - Week 7

Big Blue made us quite happy again this past Sunday. We're not delusional, this is a decent, not superb team. But the winning the games they have to. With a victory against Miami of England, they'll be 6-2, setting Tom Coughlin up for his usual horrible 2nd half.

But here's a look at this past week's games, in which we went an excellent 9-5!
For the season 52-46-6

Giants -9 vs. 49ers
If only the Giants could have manhandled Trent Dilfer like that in Super Bowl XXXV. The 33-9 final score didn't indicate just how lopsided this game was.
We easily got that one RIGHT.


Bengals -6 vs. Jets
Close game, but another late, bad INT by Chad "barely hanging on to my job" Pennington. Jets 'D' torched for 31 points in the 38-31 final.
We're RIGHT again.

Redskins -8.5 vs. Cardinals
If only Tim Rattay had played all day, we might have gotten one. Kurt Warner played and did a decent job. A rare Neil Rackers missed PAT blew this one for the Cards. Redskins hang on by the "skin" of their teeth, 21-19.
We we were WRONG.

Saints -9 vs. Falcons
Saints are slowly coming back to life, but how was this not a blow out? Byron Leftwich and Joey Harrington picked apart the Saints defense. It's a win, but 22-16 is not impressive.
We we were WRONG.

Bills +3 vs. Ravens
We were on the money here and that was without knowing Kyle Boller would be at QB for the Ravens. The Bills gave up 114 yards to their old back, Willis McGahee, and only managed 242 total yards. And won, 19-14.
We were RIGHT.

Patriots -16.5 at Dolphins
Patriots 49 Dolphins 28. 'nuff said.
We were RIGHT.

Bucs +2.5 at Lions
We said the Lions are murder at home and we should stayed with that. Don't let the close score fool you, this was a 16 point game with a little over 2 minutes to play.
We were oh so WRONG.

Titans -1 at Texans
The Titans managed to blow a 32-7 lead (yeah, we still hurt from last year's Giants-Titans game), and still managed to win on Rob Bironas' 8th FG of the day.
We were barely RIGHT.

Raiders -3 vs. Chiefs
Anyone know how the Chiefs are atop of the AFC West? A defensive battle, though LJ did top 100 yards. And the Chiefs won 12-10.
We was robbed..nah we were WRONG.

Vikings +9.5 at Cowboys
We said their 'D' was overrated and their QB stunk, so why did we take them? Granted it was only a 10 point, so we narrowly missed. I guess the question should be why didn't the Cowboys beat them by more.
We were WRONG again.

Bears +5 at Eagles
Wow, what has happened in Philly? They didn't play that badly on Sunday, but Brian Griese, never to be confused with his Dad, threw for 322 yards. He also found Muhsin Muhammad in the back of the end zone with 9 seconds left for a 19-16 Bears win.
Oh yes, we were RIGHT.

Seahawks -8.5 vs. Rams
You cannot tell me anyone thought the Rams would be winless for 6 weeks. Marc Bulger was back in the lineup and sure enough they're now winless for 7 weeks. The Seahawks romped 33-6.
We were RIGHT.

Steelers -3.5 at Broncos
Great game on SNF. Steelers came back from 14 down to tie things up, but Jason Elam blasted a 49-yd game winner as the clock went bye-bye. However...
We were RIGHT.

Colts -3 at Jacksonville
Like we said last week, how were the Colts only favored by 3? It was close early, but 29-7 was no surprise.
We were RIGHT.

NFL Recap - Week 6

As we await white smoke from the Conference of Cardinals Yankees, lets review this past weekend's NFL games.

Giants 31 Falcons 10
Great job by our boys in blue! A very complete win on both sides of the ball. And a congrats to the Giants classy quiet man (what, you were thinking Jeremy Shocker), Amani Toomer, on becoming the Giants all-time pass catcher.
We said take the Giants -3.5 and were RIGHT

Eagles 16 Jets 9
We really thought the Jets would keep this one close, and thanks to David Akers' Meadowlandsphobia, it was for the most part. But the Jets were completely inept on offense and Chad threw another air ball up for grabs.
We said take the Jets +3.5 and we were WRONG

Chiefs 27 Bengals 20
We're still kicking ourselves. How many times will we be fooled by the Bungles? LJ ran for 119 and the Chiefs controlled the clock.
We said take the Bengals -3 and we were WRONG...again
With the Bengals arrest record they should be wearing totally orange uni's. Not looking good for Rudi Johnson and his bad hammy. Their lack of defense should still be enough against a scuffling Chiefs team. Plus we need to see that clip of Herm Edwards repeating "just win a game" over and over...you get the idea.

Jaguars 37 Texans 13
Okay, this is getting embarrasing. Garrard was efficient and Mo-Jo ran for 125, only on 12 carries. How do the Texans get the 390 yards and lose? Oh yeah, the Jags had over 450.
We said take the Texans +6.5 and we were WRONG

Browns 41 Dolphins 31
This was a no-brainer, though Cleo Lemon nearly ruined it in the 3rd qtr. 3 more TD passes for Derek Anderson.
We said take the Browns -4.5 and were RIGHT. Woo hoo!

Vikings 34 Bears 31
Did NOT expect and out right win. But our Sooner Boomer ran like he was back in Norman. Mr. Peterson with 224 yards on 20 carries. The Bears must miss their Tank. 311 yards rushing allowed!
We said take the Vikings -5.5 and were RIGHT

Ravens 22 Rams 3
Gus Frerotte, please go smash your head on the wall again. 5 picks? Matt Stover wins another one for the Ravens.
We said take the Rams -9.5 and we were very WRONG

Bucs 13 Titans 10
Talk about lackluster. One of the 2 pushes this week as Matt Bryant, yeah that Niners game still hurts, won it with 11 seconds left. Losing Vince Young to a bad quad meant losing the game.
We said take the Titans -3 but it was not liking kissing our sister...not that we would know.

Packers 17 Redksins 14
Charles Woodson saved the day with a 57 yard fumble return in the 3rd qtr. The Pack only had 225 yards of offense. Man, the NFC stinks.
We said take the Packers -3 - another Push.

Panthers 25 Cardinals 10
The battle of the 3rd stringers. Vinny Testaverde (Jets probably wish they had him) comes in on Wednesday and leads the Panthers to victory. It was in no small part to the fact that Kurt Warner joined Matt Leinart on the sidelines and it was left to Tim Rattay...who also joined his team this week.
We said take the Cardinals -4.5 and we were, unfortunately, WRONG

Patriots 48 Cowboys 27
The Romosexuals made a game of it for a while, but spying or no spying, the Pats and Colts are in a league of their own (where's Madonna?).
We said take the Patriots +5.5 and we were obviously RIGHT

Chargers 28 Raiders 14
It's official the Chargers have woken up. Or maybe Norv Turner remembered he had the best running back in the NFL. 3 TDs for LT.
We said take the Raiders -9.5 and blew it...WRONG

Saints 28 Seahawks 17
Could this be the one to turn it around? The Saints looked like the '06 version and not the 'aints. Drew Brees and Reggie Bush looked good, real good.
We said take the Saints -6.5 and we got the MNF game RIGHT


Which left us a very mediocre 5-6-2 for the week.
