Here are my week one picks. I hope you like them. Or disagree with them. So this way I can think your a fag. Football.
Saints (+6) over PACKERS
So it was a magical run for the Pack. They became champions last fall while Brett Favre became the ultimate joke. Not a bad 2010.
Now they have to start their repeat, against the always dangerous Saints team. The Saints will be hyped, and this will probably be a shootout. I think 6 points is too much for a spread.
Packers 27 Saints 24
TAMPA BAY (-1) over Detroit
I'm just not buying the Lions hype. They'll be improved, but by how much? A game? Two? I still see Legarrette Blount running all over them and punching them all in the face.
Buccs 24 Lions 17
Pittsburgh (+2) over BALTIMORE
We've all seen this game before. This one might be higher scoring than usual. Either way, Pittsburgh is still a step ahead.
Steelers 21 Ravens 17
ST. LOUIS (+5) over Philadelphia
The Rams won't win, but Bradford will show he's legit and keep it close.
Eagles 31 Rams 28
CLEVELAND over Cincy
Always go against a ginger quarterback.
Browns 1000 Bengals -3
Buffalo (NL) over KANSAS CITY
Tyler Palko wasn't that bad for the Pitt Panthers. I kind of like Buffalo this season, but I don't want to openly admit it because I'm afraid of what my peers will think. Buffalo is that fat chick with big tits that you really want to bang, but don't want to tell anyone.
Fat Chicks 24 Chiefs 20
Titans (NL) over JAGS
If the Bills are fat chicks, Luke McCown is a tranny. He looks like he might look good, but you remember that he has a dick. He's a giant turd. Luke McCown is a giant turd. CJ will look mid-season form.
Titans 27 Jags 3
Colts (+9) over TEXANS
I just feel like the Texans will find a way to choke, even without Peyton Manning in the lineup for the Colts.
Colts 14 Texans 13
Atlanta (-3) over CHICAGO
It's going to be a tough, physical, grind em out game. Atlanta's the better team. They can do more with the passing game.
Falcons 24 Bears 20
Seattle (+2) over SAN FRAN
Seattle's the better team. Tavares Jackson has to find a way to not lose this one.
CARDINALS (-4) over Panthers
This one is a wild card, but I seriously don't think Cam Newton is ready to play yet. He's that 13 year old with a big rack of boobies. The Panthers are going with him now, but they'll be on To Catch a Predator by week 8.
Cardinals 31 Panthers 14
REDSKINS (+4) over Giants
I have a sneaky suspicion that the Redskins will be good this year. Hightower looks good in that zone scheme. Grossman looks like Plummer. More importantly, the Giants are decimated with injuries.
Redskins 28 Giants 21
Vikings (+8.5) over CHARGERS
They might not win, but McNabb will be good enough at play-action that Adrian Peterson's box won't be stacked all game. Chargers win a close one.
Chargers 21 Vikings 20
JETS (-4) over Cowboys
Jets aren't losing on 9/11 at home.
Jets 17 Cowboys 10
Patriots (-27) over TURDBAG CHAD HENNE
BRONCOS (-3) over AL DAVIS DECAYED CORPSE

2011 Power Rankings
This season should be interesting.
32. Bengals - Rookie Quarterbacks never get it done unless they are in a fail-proof, run-heavy defensive team. Good luck, Andy Dalton!
31. Seahawks - Tavaris Jackson.
30. Jaguars - Luke McCown.
29. 49ers - Alex Smith.
28. Panthers - They can run the ball. Ron Rivera can call a game defensively. Can Cam Newton "slam guys" as John Gruden puts it?
27. Browns - If Peyton Hillis gets hurt, and he will, this team won't be competitive.
26. Bills - When you can't stop the run, you can't win games.
25. Titans - Jeff Fisher is one of the most under-rated coaches of this decade.
24. Raiders - There's something missing with this team.
23. Dolphins - Defense is not good enough to carry Chad Henne.
22. Redskins - This team may shock people, and win 7 games.
21. Broncos - With Dumervil and Miller, their defense will be improved, and John Fox made Jake Delhomme look good.
20. Cardinals - I think if Kolb will be good, it's going to take some time.
19. Giants - If you gamble, take the over in every game this year. Their defense is already decimated.
18. Rams - Steven Jackson is old, and there will be a lot of pressure on Sam Brad. Expect big things soon with him and Josh McDaniels, but not for a while.
17. Lions - I will move them down 7 spots immediately next week, when Matt Stafford gets hurt.
16. Chiefs - If this team stays healthy, great things can happen. I just feel Jamal Charles gets hurt sometime. He runs too hard and isn't big enough.
15. Bears - Jay Cutler isn't the biggest issue with this team. Their tackles can't pass block. Forte can have a big year in the passing game if this continues, Cutler won't have any time to throw downfield.
14. Texans - This teams playoff chances will rely on Arian Foster, or Ben Tate, and the secondary. How quick will Super Mario adjust to the 3-4?
13. Colts - This ranking can change to 30 very quickly.
12. Cowboys - Will Romo be healthy? Will this team play with heart now that the Cowardly Lion (Wade Phillips) is gone? Will Mike Jenkins have 50 yards in penalties a game?
11. Chargers - I've said it since day one. The Chargers will never win anything substantial with Norv Turner. He has Wade Phillips and Cam Cameron syndrome.
10. Buccaneers - Was the defense a fluke? Offensively, they are no joke.
9. Vikings - Yes, I'm serious. McNabb will be good enough at play-action so that they can't stack the box. Peterson will be Peterson. This team can turn the clock back to 2007.
8. Jets - Do you think Rex Ryan gets a little aroused during Field Goals?
7. Falcons - Arthur Blank looks like a pedophile on that bus.
6. Ravens - No excuses Joe Flacco, your team is stacked. Lee Evans and Vontae Leach are all you need offensively. Will the defense be too old?
5. Saints - Drew Brees and an opportunistic Defense is sometimes all you need.
4. Packers - They catch no one by surprise now. Every game for them is someone elses Super Bowl now. It's why no one has been able to repeat for almost 15 years.
3. Eagles - Vick is still a dog murderer.
2. Patriots - If Ocho and Haynesworth pan out, this team is unstoppable. Also, "Woodhead" sounds like oral sex with a peglegged pirate.
1. Steelers - Power Run. Aggressive, dominant Defense. 5 talented receivers? This team is scarier than Big Ben in central park at 4 am.
32. Bengals - Rookie Quarterbacks never get it done unless they are in a fail-proof, run-heavy defensive team. Good luck, Andy Dalton!
31. Seahawks - Tavaris Jackson.
30. Jaguars - Luke McCown.
29. 49ers - Alex Smith.
28. Panthers - They can run the ball. Ron Rivera can call a game defensively. Can Cam Newton "slam guys" as John Gruden puts it?

Week 14 NFL Power Rankings
32. Panthers - I wonder why Jimmy Clausen dropped all the way in the draft?
31. Lions - Although Drew Stanton didn't look bad, they can easily lose their next four games (GB, TB, MIA, MIN).
30. Bengals - Carson Palmer and Marvin Lewis both looked washed up. Change is coming.
29. Bills - So much for being competitive.
28. Broncos - At least the interim coach starts against the Cardinals next week.
27. Cardinals - At least they play the Broncos next week.
26. 49ers - When is Mike Singletary going to realize that Alex smith sucks?
25. Titans - Where'd the offense go?
24. Browns - Jake Delhomme is doing his best to keep up with the Bengals.
23. Texans - This was going to be their year, until they looked at the secondary.
22. Cowboys - At least they're finally playing with heart.
21. Redskins - Dear Shanahan, there is an opening available.
20. Vikings - At least Frazier remembers he has the best running back on his team.
19. Seahawks - Although 6-6, This team has too many issues to play in January.
18. Dolphins - Although 6-6 This team has too many issues to play in January.
17. Colts - Although 6-6 This team has too many issues to play in January.
16. Chargers - Time is ticking on Norv Turners tenure.
15. Raiders - A balanced run game really makes this team tough to beat.
14. Rams - Playing solid, well balanced football.
13. Jaguars - Playing well, but don't have enough of a pass rush, or pass offense, to win in January.
12. Bucs - 2nd heartbreaking loss to Atlanta this season. Will it be backbreaking?
11. Chiefs - Todd Haley should give Josh McDaniels a nice gift for Christmas. McDaniels gift-wrapped that last victory for them by punting on 4th down with 3 mins remaining.
10. Ravens - I forgot why Cam Cameron wasn't a head coach until that boneheaded playcall.
9. Eagles - Where would this team be without Mike Vick?
8. Giants - Who needs receivers?
7. Packers - Poised to make a nice winter run.
6. Bears - Almost choked. Was it a trap-game? Or are they not as good as advertised?

Week 13 Predictions
Yeah. We missed week 12. We needed to regain focus here. Also, those thursday games come up quick. Without further adeau.
EAGLES (-8) over Texans
Vick will have a rediculous day against that secondary.
Bills (+5.5) over VIKINGS
It'll be a close game. Vikings might even win. Spreads too much.
Packers (-9.5) over 49ers
Sans Gore, this Niner team is finished.
CHIEFS (-9) over Broncos
Broncos blew out Chiefs a couple weeks ago. Todd Haley remembers.
LIONS (+3) over Bears
I'm still not sold on the Bears. And that spread is too low. Suspiciously low.
DOLPHINS (-4.5) over Browns
Browns starting to look more like...the Browns
Redskins (-7) over GIANTS
I have a feeling this is a trap game for the Giants.
TITANS over Jaguars
If Collins starts, if not Jags.
Raiders (+13) over CHARGERS
Spreads too high. Chargers probably will win.
CARDINALS (+3.5) over Rams
Derek Anderson takes this game seriously.
Cowboys (+5) over COLTS
Looks like Manning has come down with a case of the Delhomme's.
SEAHAWKS (-6) over Panthers
BUCCANEERS (+3) over Falcons
Falcons still shaky on road.
RAVENS (-3) over Steelers
Don't trust Big Ben's injury.
PATS (-3.5) over Jets
They're the better team.
EAGLES (-8) over Texans
Vick will have a rediculous day against that secondary.
Bills (+5.5) over VIKINGS

Week 11 Picks
OK. Ok. Ok. Sometimes even the great are average.
We went 7-6 this weekend, not too impressive. However, we were a point off in the Indy game. Chansi Stuckey costed us the Browns game. So we had a couple had bad breaks, but still finished over .500. This week is a perfect week to rebound
BENGALS (-6) over Bills
The Bengals had five turnovers against the colts last week, and still only lost by 6. They also played the Steelers tough. This team might be hitting it's stride. Meanwhile, the Bills are just excited to have a win. Expect the Bengals to win and Benson to get back on track. Bengals 31-10.
Titans (-7) over Redskins
The Redskins have the worst defense in the league. They were demolished at home, and it was the kind of loss that could demolish your season. Although the Titans haven't been good at home, CJ2k will feast on the 25th rushing defense. Titans 28-20
Favre Bowl 4
VIKINGS (+3) over Packers*
Thia game wreaks of upset. Everyone is giving up on The Vikings. However, they are 3-1 at home. The Packers are .500 on the road, and we all know Favre will use some magic to pull a rabbit out of the hat against his old team. Vikings 34-31
*(Joe Cheese disagrees, likes Packers 31-17)
Ravens (-10.5) over PANTHERS
Brian St. Pierre and probably Mike Goodson. Enough said. Ravens 20,000 Panthers 0.
STEELERS (-7.5) over Raiders
Raiders are traveling across country. They are also horrible on the road. Steelers line is banged up. However, I still think Steelers talented run defense will shut down McFadden. Steelers 21-10.
Browns (+1) over Jaguars
Ok. I love this Browns team. Peyton Hillis is one of the best in the league. Colt McCoy is poised, and playing smart for a rookie. This defense is energized. I feel the Jaguars have beaten the Colts, but that's the only respectable win that they have. The Jags can't throw Hail Marys every week. Browns 27-24.
JETS (-7) over Texans
The Texans are imploding. Defensively, they are awful. Offensively, they aren't good enough anymore to make up for the defense. The Jets will shut them down. P.S. the Texans have never beaten the Jets. Jets 21-9
CHIEFS (-8) over Cardinals
Kansas City is at home against an awful Cardinals team. Not too much to say. Chiefs 27-13
Lions (+9) over COWBOYS
Nine points is too high. Cowboys win, however not by much. Cowboys 31-28.
SAINTS (-12) over Seahawks
Saints at home. The Seahawks will be without Hasselbeck. The Saints should get back Reggie Bush. Saints 31-14
49ERS (-3) over Buccaneers*
The Buccaneers have been a great story. However, they are still 31st in the league against the run. They will come down to life, as Frank Gore will say hello, all day long. 49ers 27-20
*(Joe Cheese disagrees, likes Buccaneers 24-23)
Falcons (-3) over RAMS
The Rams are good at home. The Falcons are average on the road. The Falcons are still better than the Rams. Falcons 21-17.
Colts (+4) over PATRIOTS
I'll take Peyton Manning, and 4 points, at night, 100 percent of the time.
EAGLES (-3) over Giants*
The Eagles are home. Vick is the best quarterback in the NFL at the moment. The Giants are banged up, and are a poor 2nd half team. Eagles win this one. Eagles 28-24.
(Joe Cheese disagrees, likes Giants. 38-31)
Broncos (+10) over CHARGERS
The Chargers are not good enough to be 10 point favorites right now. Chargers do win, though. Chargers 34-28.
Mr. Right and Joe Cheese are currently 17-9-1 for the year.

Thursday Night Football Prediction
Chicago at Miami
God, I love Thursday Night Football.
It's an amazing time of the year, with professional football being on 3 nights a week! This Thursday we have an interesting matchup, with the Chicago Bears taking on the Miami Dolphins.
Chicago is deceptive. They run the ball real well. They play solid all around defense. They have most of the pieces in place for a solid team. Then, there's Jay Cutler. Cutler is the Good-Will Hunting of the NFL. Everyone roots for him, and he has so much potential. But he's too stubborn to ever harness it. The most frustrating part is he shows flashes of incredible. He just can't put it together. He is also terrible at night.
Miami is the essential 5-4 team. They beat the bad teams, but struggle to beat the good teams. They're a solid all around team as well. However, they're down to their 3rd string quarterback, Tyler Thigpen. Thigpen is 1-10 lifetime as a starter. He does throw the ball well, and was solid with the Chiefs in 2008. He had 18 TDS to 12 INTS.
The big difference in this game is Cutler. When people go against him, he can make them look foolish. However, he has never proven that he can play under the big stage. That's why I'm going with the Dolphins. 16-9.
So far on the season, we are 17-9-1 against the spread. We started week nine.

Week 11 Power Rankings & Ramblings
Ramblings
In week 10, the NFL reminded us why we watch. Always expect the unexpected. Let's just recap the weekend.
Buffalo got their 1st (and probably only) win of the season.
Dallas, New England, Denver, Chicago, Miami, Jacksonville, and Seattle all provided upsets.
The Jets got another win via another teams late, costly mistake.
Miami lost 2 quarterbacks, one for the season, and Thigpen still led them to victory.
Randy Moss was nearly invisible.
Dez Bryant looked like Randy Moss (1998).
Mike Thomas looked like Dennis Rodman.
Michael Vick rushed for more yards than AP, and threw for more yards than Peyton Manning. He scored 4 less touchdowns in this game than Favre has all year.
Power Rankings
32. Panthers (1-8) - With Vick doing so well, why not try Armanti Edwards at quarterback? He beat Michigan.
31. Lions (2-7) - It could be worse...
30. Bills (1-8) - I wonder if the 2008 Detroit Lions pop champagne when every team gets their 1st win?
29. Bengals (2-7) - Do you think Carsons' letting Jordan play the 1st three quarters, and not telling anyone?
28. Broncos (3-6) - Yeah, Yeah. They won. They still suck.
27. Cowboys (2-7) - See 28.
26. 49ers (3-6) - See 27.
25. Vikings (3-6) Do you think Dr. James Andrews will check out Favre's penis?
24. Cardinals (3-6) Look at the brightside, Cardinals Fans, Tom Tupa is available.
23. Redskins (4-5) Five more years! Five more years!
22. Texans (4-5) Let's play a little game, called just the tip, see how it feels?
21. Rams (4-5) Remember when the Rams sucked? Oh, wait, they still do.
20. Chiefs (5-4) I guess Todd Haley wanted a hi-five.
19. Browns (3-6) Browns fans hope Chansi Stuckey takes his talents to South Beach.
18. Titans (5-4) If Tyler Thigpen comes in and beats you, chances are the playoffs aren't likely.
17. Dolphins (5-4) If Tyler Thigpen is your quarterback, chances are the playoffs aren't likely.
16. Seahawks (5-4) They got blown out at home, and then win a road game? Hell is freezing over.
15. Bears (6-3) I'm still not fooled. No Cinderella story here. Jay Cutler's arm will turn into a pumpkin soon enough.
14. Jaguars (5-4) I'd rather be lucky than good.
13. Chargers (4-5) This team has been decimated with injuries. However, they're fresh now, and coming off a bye. Anyone smell a Monday night massacre?
12. Raiders (5-4) If they can beat the Steelers...just kidding. They can't beat the Steelers.
11. Saints (6-3) I miss Iron Head Heyward.
10. Buccaneers (6-3) Williams and Blount give this team a nice one-two punch.
9. Packers (6-3) This team can't run the ball. There are too many other good teams to rank any higher.
8. Giants (6-3) Injuries at receiver may end up costing them the division.
7. Colts (6-3) See number nine, Except the Colts have Manning.
6. Ravens (6-3) Tough loss. Can the secondary step up against the better teams?
5. New York Jets (7-2) They can't scrape by crappy teams forever and expect to win Super Bowls.
4. Steelers (6-3) Still the most dangerous team in the NFL. Tomlin just got out-coached by Belichick.
3. Patriots (7-2) Dominant performance on Sunday Night.
2. Falcons (7-2) I smell NFC Championship. They might even host it in the Georgia Dome.
1. Eagles (6-3) Unfortunately, I have a dog's sense of smell.
In week 10, the NFL reminded us why we watch. Always expect the unexpected. Let's just recap the weekend.
Buffalo got their 1st (and probably only) win of the season.
Dallas, New England, Denver, Chicago, Miami, Jacksonville, and Seattle all provided upsets.
The Jets got another win via another teams late, costly mistake.
Miami lost 2 quarterbacks, one for the season, and Thigpen still led them to victory.
Randy Moss was nearly invisible.
Dez Bryant looked like Randy Moss (1998).
Mike Thomas looked like Dennis Rodman.
Michael Vick rushed for more yards than AP, and threw for more yards than Peyton Manning. He scored 4 less touchdowns in this game than Favre has all year.
Power Rankings
32. Panthers (1-8) - With Vick doing so well, why not try Armanti Edwards at quarterback? He beat Michigan.
31. Lions (2-7) - It could be worse...
30. Bills (1-8) - I wonder if the 2008 Detroit Lions pop champagne when every team gets their 1st win?
29. Bengals (2-7) - Do you think Carsons' letting Jordan play the 1st three quarters, and not telling anyone?
28. Broncos (3-6) - Yeah, Yeah. They won. They still suck.
27. Cowboys (2-7) - See 28.
26. 49ers (3-6) - See 27.
25. Vikings (3-6) Do you think Dr. James Andrews will check out Favre's penis?
24. Cardinals (3-6) Look at the brightside, Cardinals Fans, Tom Tupa is available.
23. Redskins (4-5) Five more years! Five more years!
22. Texans (4-5) Let's play a little game, called just the tip, see how it feels?
21. Rams (4-5) Remember when the Rams sucked? Oh, wait, they still do.
