Football Sunday
Week Nine
RESULTS
Week Seven
Week Eight
1st and Ten:
WEEK NINE
Friday Line ~ NYDN
Eagles +2 1/2 (GIANTS)
Two INTs in Week Seven are all that prevented the Giants from entering Sunday with a losing record. They are a zebra ... meaning the Giants are an indistinguishable middle of the pack team, blending into the background. They are largely undetectable until someone other than OBJ moves.
Loss 28-23 Giants
DOLPHINS -3 1/2 (Jets)
The Jets are expected to win this game. But playing the Dolphins has become a flat out pain in the ass. The NYJ to date are one of four AFC teams to allow over 200 points. Derrelle Revis risks making Ryan Tannehill look good.
WIN 27-23 Dolphins
CHIEFS -7 (Jaguars)
This could get ugly...
Loss 19-14 Chiefs
VIKINGS -6 (LIONS)
I like the Vikings at home. I like Minnesota's defense against the Lions offense. The x-factor here is Norv Turner's sudden decision to resign. It could mean the Vikings are rotting from within, or, Turner merely butted heads with the hierarchy. A pick-six by the Vikings defense would go a long way this game...
Loss 22-16 Lions
Cowboys -7 1/2 (BROWNS)
That extra half-point makes this problematic ... not! Am I being overly confident? Perhaps.
WIN 35-10 Cowboys
Steelers PK (RAVENS)
Home or away ... with or without Big Ben ... I believe the Steelers are one point better than Baltimore. The Steelers have still more injuries that may tip the scales in the Ravens favor. However, even before he hurt his shoulder, I said Joe Flacco looks like he's simply going through the motions - disgusted even.
Loss 21-14 Ravens
Saints -4 (49ERS)
The Niners are a piano falling out of the sky.
WIN 41-23 Saints
Panthers -3 (RAMS)
This pick is based solely on Carolina's victory over the Cardinals.
PUSH 13-10 Panthers
Colts +7 1/2 (PACKERS)
Green Bay's cheesy secondary will allow Andrew Luck to keep this game within range.
WIN 31-26 Colts
CHARGERS -5 (Titans)
Truth be told, I flipped on this pick, originally siding against San Diego. I've been holding a grudge against the Jekyll and Hyde Chargers for some time now, while pumping the Titans this season with mixed results. I like Rivers at home.
WIN 43-35 Chargers
Broncos +1 (RAIDERS)
From the shadows of Mount Davis will emerge an AFC West leader. The Black Hole has truly become a dismal place to play. Oakland's home/road record says it all.
Loss 30-20 Raiders
Schmear of the Week:
Saints -4
Guten Appetit:
Wings, wings, and more wings - buffalo, and garlic parmigiana style. Cheeseburger sliders with fried onions. Loaded salsa chips.
Good luck, and have a happy Football Sunday everyone!

Week Eight
Week Nine Record: 6-4-1
Overall Record: 41-52-2
Schmear of the Week: 3-4
BAGELS in the Basket: -14
1st and Ten:
- The first place Patriots traded their best linebacker. Hahahaha! Only Belichick.
- The soon coming Dak Prescott/Tony Romo controversy is beginning to simmer.
- The high flying Atlanta Falcons have scored 305 points, which is 80 more points than the second ranked and last place San Diego Chargers. The Falcons have allowed the most points this season as well.
- Five of eight second place teams have losing records. The most ponderous second place club is Arizona with a 3-4 record.
- If there's a game but no one shows up to see it, was there really a game? If numbers hold true, the Chargers and Raiders will both play before less than 60,000 apathetic spectators.
- The Cleveland Browns have yet to win a game.
- Giant problems: flag on Jerry Reese for his avoidance of the Josh Brown issue. Eli Apple's mom continues lambasting the organization. The team isn't good. The sharks are circling.
- Norv Turner resigned his position as offensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings. Why? Easy. At this point being a coordinator is beneath him, especially knowing he's better than the head coach.
- Ben McAdoo said "stats are for losers."
