Week One

 

 

Week Seven Record:  6-7

Overall Record:  42-45-5

Schmear of the Week:  4-3

Bagels in the Basket:  -5

 

 

COIN TOSS:

• The Giants had mercy on me and finally won a game.  The lone two winless teams are Tampa and Jacksonville.  The Buccaneers are going down in a blaze of glory.  Jacksonville could very well win before Tampa does.

THIRD AND LONG:

 

• Peyton Manning took it on the chin last week, first by his former owner, then by his former club.

• How much more can Atlanta disappoint?

PUNT:

• The anthem of Tampa - Fire Schiano! Clap  Clap  Clap-clap-clap.  Fire Schiano!  Clap  Clap  Clap-clap-clap.

• I'm sick and tired of the Browns!

 

 

 

Let's roll some friggin' Bagels..!

 

 

WEEK EIGHT:

Friday Line - NYDN

 

 

Giants +6 (EAGLES)

Who knows anymore.  Take the points.

Win; 15-7 Giants

 

 

BENGALS -6 1/2 (Jets)

How do the Jets say - classic let down after big win over the Patriots.

Win; 49-9 Bengals

 

 

49ers -16 1/2 (Jaguars) *London, England

After starting a war over a tea tax, we have a lot of nerve sending the Jacksonville Jaguars to London

Win; 42-10 49ers

 

 

LIONS -3 (Cowboys)

Suh or Romo - who do you trust more to affect the game?

Loss; 31-30 Lions

 

 

CHIEFS -7 (Browns)

It's a Browns game - no comment.

Loss; 23-17 Chiefs

 

 

Bills +11 (SAINTS)

I'm being lured in by the points.  I stuck it out with Buffalo last week and they did not disappoint.

Loss; 35-17 Saints

 

 

PATRIOTS -6 1/2 (Dolphins)

See loss to Jets - This will be the classic bounce-back victory.

Win; 27-17 Patriots

 

 

Steelers -2 (RAIDERS)

Two points is too much to ponder.  I see this as a pick-em game.

Loss; 21-18 Raiders

 

 

Redskins Hogs +13 (BRONCOS)

RGIII is playing better of late, and teams have incrementally exposed the Broncos defense.  I like the Hogs to cover.

Loss; 45-21 Broncos

 

 

Falcons +2 (CARDINALS)

My golden rule is always take the Cards getting points at home.  I never said anything about laying points.

Loss; 27-13 Cardinals

 

 

Packers -9 (VIKINGS)

.....because the Vikings did nothing against the Giants and they have no quarterback.

Win; 44-31 Packers

 

 

 

Schmear of the Week:

Packers -9 (Vikings)

WIN

 

 

 Take your Tostitos, and stick it...!!  I'm making jars of home made salsa dip this weekend with the rest of my home grown tomatoes.  It's too cold to leave them out there any longer.  The ones that haven't ripened yet, I'll pickle and jar, and eat over the course of the season.  What's in your garden?

 

Happy Football Sunday!
