The Cowboys are really effing with my prediction of a 12-4 season record and SuperBowl berth. You still won’t see me throw them under the bus like LM did with his beloved Redskins, but that’s just the kind of fan that I am.
The football pool is moving right along and I am getting ready to add some features that will allow the folks in the rear of the pack a chance to make up some ground. Nothing could be better than a photo finish during the last week of the season. This week’s lineup is the most difficult to pick so far that I’ve chosen. Even CANDICE will have a tough time going seven for seven with these games. Let’s take a look at lineup…
ARIZONA CARDINALS @ GREEN BAY PACKERS
MATT LEINART, The Future vs. BRETT FAVRE, The Past. The Cardinals win in Wisconsin will finally close the book on FAVRE’s career.
ATLANTA FALCONS @ CINCINNATI BENGALS
I’m hoping for another lights out scoring game from these two teams and the difference should go to Atlanta’s running game over Cincy’s revamped defense.
BALTIMORE RAY-VENS @ NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
These are not your parent’s paperbag hat Saints, and these are not the RAY-vens from week 1. The Saints are invincible in the swamp.
HOUSTON TEXANS @ TENNESSEE TITANS
VINCE YOUNG is going to make his hometown Houston sorry they didn’t select him in the draft. But just not this weekend.
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS @ PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
After some questionable losses by both of these teams I don’t look for any postseason thunder coming from either of these clubs. In the battle of the burly Black quarterbacks I am giving the advantage to the guy with the sicker name, BYRON LEFTWICH.
NEW YORK JETS @ CLEVELAND BROWNS
Former Patriots assistants whose teams are moving in different directions. ROMEO CRENNEL, like DENNIS GREEN and ART SHELL, with be another jig coach down at the unemployment office come January.
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS @ DENVER BRONCOS
I love how ALEX2.0 calls PEYTON MANNING by his Hip-Hop name ‘DJ LONGNECK’. I have hated on MANNING from the gate, but I hate JAKE PLUMMER and MIKE SHANAHAN almost as much. This annoys me that I am picking the Colts, but then I remind myself that TONY DUNGY gave his son to GOD in exchange for a Super Bowl ring.
Okay poolers, press play…
